Fr Bro, why waste your energy on this topic.Imma keep it a buck with you fam, idgaf about this topic anymore. I might as well be called a proud Purple man at this point.
AA this AA that, why should you worry about what they are doing with their own lives? Some refer themselves as being black, others as being off African descent, others being native to the Americas Ann’s others being FBA. What they do with their own time has nothing to do with you, me or any other person.I’m being realistic. AAs don’t want to be called that either, they like FBA to separate from immigrants
All that is irrelevant to the topic.
Excellent point. they don't want to be labeled by a social construct, but proudly label AA,West africans, and Afro caribbeans as the same social construct they don't want to be labeled by!!!The same black people you’re trying to separate from are called African. Nigerians, Malians, Congolese etc.

Right, this is what I don't understand, you move to the western world, and acted shock when they give you a western label. lmaooAA this AA that, why should you worry about what they are doing with their own lives? Some refer themselves as being black, others as being off African descent, others being native to the Americas Ann’s others being FBA. What they do with their own time has nothing to do with you, me or any other person.
It’s incredibly insensitive for a lot of people here to act like this against them and showing how we are supposedly more “Superior” than them,
Nobody cares. You are seen as black, people will identify you as a black person. Move on!
FBAs are only something you find online, and are a minority among black americans.I’m being realistic. AAs don’t want to be called that either, they like FBA to separate from immigrants
All that is irrelevant to the topic.
Absolutely! the disrespect Black americans/AA face is appalling! they're the ones who paved the way for African and Afro caribbeans to enter the U.S!!! yet the get disrespected in return!Show respect to people who made it possible for you to work and live in America happily. I don't understand why these kids who immigrated to or was born after their families migrated to America try to look down AAs by constantly bringing up slavery. It is not like the Africans who were enslaved had any choice. They did everything in their power to remove the shackles placed on them by European colonizers and settlers in America.
Reality is, the descendants of former slaves in America and the Caribbean came out of that heinous condition by constantly resisting it, and it is the fruits of their struggle that new immigrants from Africa to America and EU are reaping.
But instead of being grateful, we constantly get this 'slavery' charge that people like this girl run with. Frankly, Somalis are dumb and ungrateful people. What I don't understand is what is going for Somalis that some of us need to be this arrogant constantly? People who are from the most failed state on earth have the loudest mouths. I can't believe it. Or perhaps it is that inadequacy that they try to look down on other people. Something is wrong with the Somali psyche that they try to look down on people who have done them no harm.
Listening to rap-hip-hop is not copying....Absolutely! the disrespect Black americans/AA face is appalling! they're the ones who paved the way for African and Afro caribbeans to enter the U.S!!! yet the get disrespected in return!
Descendants of West/central slaves in The U.S and the Caribbean haven't even gotten reparations for our ancestors being enslaved, yet Black american culture and Afro caribbean culture is the most intimidated, and the most disrespected!!!
I see many somalis looking down on Afro-Caribbeans and AA, hell even looking down at west/central africans, simply because we're madows!!!
Yet i see the somali diaspora in the west mimicking AA/Afro caribbeans/West-Central Africans by
Twerking
whining
participating
listening to rap/hip-hop and other Black american music genres
listening to afro beats
copying certain hairstyles!!!
We copied their music, our most famous musical era was in the 80s and is heavily based on Blues, jazz & Disco. All created by AA.Listening to rap-hip-hop is not copying....
So what, Cadaans and whole world imitate certain AA culture and individuals and they still look down on themWe copied their music, our most famous musical era was in the 80s and is heavily based on Blues, jazz & Disco. All created by AA.
mee copied other black people hairstyles, mannerism and music but want to look down on them and refer them being lower then us?
Go cry somewhere else you idiot. They build the US from the grounds and made it possible for you somali Americans to even come live there and be treated good, or else you would have suffered the same fate as they did.So what, Cadaans and whole world imitate certain AA culture and individuals and they still look down on them
Their culture today is toxic and degenerate and not fit for Somali muslims except the believers among them ofc
I Do not know why you are directing this at me, I did not defend racism or Looking down on anyone.We copied their music, our most famous musical era was in the 80s and is heavily based on Blues, jazz & Disco. All created by AA.

Bro what do we have to do with the struggles of AA?Show respect to people who made it possible for you to work and live in America happily.

I am just so sick and tired of you lot here, Howe can you claim being a Muslim meanwhile you’re looking down on somebody else just because they have different features?
well guess what! You lot also have course hair, darker skin on average if it wasn’t for skin bleaching and wider features. Practice your faith properly instead of ridiculing allah’s creation and considering it to. Be ugly!
Alot of african americans dont identify at all with africa as we know. Same way your average white american doesn't identify with being irish or german or something.Why can’t we just be called African. That’s it. Period.
If they want all black people to identify together then that should be under the label “African” as all black people are from Africa.
Asians don’t have to identify as yellow, because they are smart and know White people gave them that name to look down on them, so they threw it out and consider it racist. But black people are fine with black despite it being a PC term for former slaves/ slave descendants aka nword.
So, why not just use African? Identify as black is triggering to some people who are not descendants of slaves, as they see it as an inferior and derogatory term.
As for North Africans they are African too and they will be like Middle easterners who don’t really identify as Asian and no one is thinking of them when they say or think Asian, but no one can deny that they are Asian despite looking and being different from other Asians.
Since everyone seems to be obsessed with Somalis and our every move, yes I’m talking about you non-somali lurkers reading this, this will spread fast.
NO MORE BLACK, AFRICAN ONLY.
I already know some ADOS aka slave descendant black Americans won’t like this because they look down on Africans and don’t want to identify as such. Yet get mad when somalis don’t want to identify as black.
Good idea or not?
Modern somali music was based of off the traditional folk music. Look at Cabdi Sinimo's Balwo. The guy who introduced foreign influences was Abdullahi Qarshe, he mixed Arabic & Indian tunes with traditional folk music. He also wrote most of the songs from that eraWe copied their music, our most famous musical era was in the 80s and is heavily based on Blues, jazz & Disco. All created by AA.
mee copied other black people hairstyles, mannerism and music but want to look down on them and refer them being lower then us?
That's a loud minority on the internet.I’m being realistic. AAs don’t want to be called that either, they like FBA to separate from immigrants
