6-12 million African American women can't find a husband or boyfriend

They should go for Somali men and others from the continent. The sister below managed to #securetheshandad.

He is an anomaly. 98%+ of Somali men who marry out tend to marry Caucasian/Arab/Asian.

Whereas when Somali women marry out, roughly 70% tend to marry African/Afro Carribbean/Afro American.

An outlier example shouldn't be used. That would be disingenuous.

Disingenuous to what? I suggest you re-read my post, I did not claim that a majority of Somali men who marry out marry AA women. There is no data on this topic.

I'm simply suggesting that AA women should try to go for Somali or other African men. I think its a possibility for some, we are no strangers to each other. Even back in the 1970's Somali students sent over here would marry and/or procreate with AA women.

That's what I have a problem with (highlighted) because it's just not true. In fact it's a lie. Outlier cases are just noise. The absolute vast majority of foreign students would marry Caucasian women. That's a fact.

They would and they did, this is not a lie. Again, I did not make the argument that they were in the majority, please work on your comprehension.

It shouldn't bother you, the products of these marriages are contributing positively to the Somali name through the arts and they also make an effort to stay in touch with their roots. I hope to see more of this mix in the future. Love should always win.

Only two mild examples, followed by a statement that Somali/AA children products bring success and contributions to the society. The premise and the conclusion have no correlation whatsoever.

Unless she looks non black, Somali men don't tend to go for AA's. Sorry. But by all means, please bring about more of these successes through Somali women/AA marriages. Not us. We marry Caucasian.

Rahtid!

...and you claim AAs obsess over you? Geez!

...and don't you phuckers marry your cousins...huh? Don't you phuckers marry young underaged girls...right after you chop-up their punani? Aren't you phuckers just out of the desert chasing around goats and camels? How the phuck do you have all the answers for AA women when you marry of 12 year olds. WTF!??

To be fair a lot of those students who married AA women did it purely for sharci. Lots of those guys ended up leaving their AA wives and going back to Somalia get married when they got the sharci.

Australia should take in some of these women as migrants. Many are well educated African American women.

I follow the works of a successful and top prizes winning young sculpture who graduated from Ivy League Arts university in the states whose father is somali and mother is African American.

A 2009 Ivy League graduate, Farah majored in Fine Arts with a concentration in painting, and minored in Religion, focusing on western religions and secularism at the University of Pennsylvania.

Describe yourself, not your art.

"I'm from Baltimore. I love and miss my city. In many ways, I am in New Orleans because it reminds me of home. I am half black (African-American) and half Somali. While I was raised in a black household and in black neighborhoods, I have always felt a bit like an outsider to black culture. A lot of my art is an attempt to better understand black culture. I have almost no connection to my Somali self, except for my name. Perhaps my future work will deal with that side of myself."

I like how he says half black half Somalian clearly he knows Somalis aren't black

 

[Apollo]

@Apollo has some serious explaining to do

Some African Americans are borderline mulatto (35% to 65% SSA range). Those can produce pseudo-Somali kids with a full Somali, but not the +80% SSA standard AAs.

The reason isn’t differences of colour, but to differentiate blacks, those who inherited the history of slavery, Jim Crow laws from their ancestors, the African American community and others from Africa. They made similar point between Obama’s heritage and the African American one. They will make exactly the same description if one is from Angola, Madagascar, Ethiopia or Somalia.

They do it because they're blacks in America, not because of people who inherited history of slavery and Jim crow. . Those blacks in america who also culturally dominate you when you come to this land, which shows me whatever you were suppose to inherit from your forefathers wasn't much
