We could have used the racism card here, this is a white guy dissing somalis but no, you idiots decided to dissociate yourself from being black.
Do you know how much leverage is gained with being black in todays society? And now we’re known as an anti-black group. All because you guys and fobs couldn’t keep your mouth quiet.
It’s madows who have always othered Somalis and have never ever seen us as Black. Long before tiktok or any other social media app. They are the first to highlight our ethnicity when one of us does something wrong and distance themselves.
Cadaan racists diss everyone online. Why is this Nigerian xoolo spreading this qashin on his massive platform and laughing along?
Imagine Chunkz reacting to one of the many anti Nigerian videos online?
In an ideal world, I agree that using the madow card offers protection. However, this was never available to us even if we all wanted it. The sooner madow identifying Somalis realise this, the better.
Not to drag on but let me give you an example. There were huge anti government protests in Kenya by Gen Zs. Their motto was…tribeless and they claimed to be for all Kenyans.
Some Somali Gen Zs joined in and naively believed the tribeless nonsense. They started insulting Somali leaders from NFD including the most prominent, Minister of Defence Duale. They joined in with Kenyans who would often use coded language to attack Duale and other Somali politicians. Ruto replaced his cabinet and moved Duale to a far less important ministry. Ruto then brought in leaders from the other Kenyan tribes and nominated them for important ministries. Immediately, most of the protests died down.
The so called tribeless Gen Z left the streets as soon as their uncles were rewarded while the doqon Somali Gen Z were left with nothing.
Somalis need to realise that these people will always see us as outsiders.
