Are Somalis black or Muslim?

[T1a]

Which are they seen as first?

 

[MARAQ DIGAAG]

Don't you all get tired of asking the same race bait questions ?

 

[Amira]

Somalis are Arab Muslims. End of story

 

[DrippinglyWet]

Muslim identity > Anything.
We are a Semetic Islamic people.

 

[horumar]

Why do we always have to be seen as something OTHER than Somali? Why can't we be pleased with being Somali? I'm Somali first.

 

[Yahya Liban-Lewis]

Somalis are seen as Muslim first, Black second.

However, as a proud former "Geeljire Miyi", I always remind ajnabis that I'm Somali.

 

[Prince of Lasanod]

We're not black, but we're Muslim.

I think you are high off that khat again. Where have I asked this?

 

[Soulei]

Muslim identity > Anything.
We are a Cushitic Islamic people.

No as I have already explained Somalis are an extension of the Arabian/Semetic culture making us belong to the Semetic people

 

[Dino]

I am not black. I share nothing in common with what you call black. I am muslim and somali though

 

[Kezira]

I'm Muslim Ethiopian

[TSP]

.

this is the right answer

 

[warculus]

Thats like asking are you either tall or fat, as if you cant be both. Dumb question

 

[fardowsa]

We are Muslim first, Somali second.

They are two different things OP, what sort of stupid question is this @T1a

 

[Human]

1. Religion
2. Country and Continent

 

[TooMacaan]

How about a third option for some of the ppl here?? Simultaneously Black and Muslim...?
You do know there is such thing as overlapping identities right? It's called INTERSECTIONALITY.
Perhaps we do need to invite some Twitter Xalimos/Faraxs to join this site...
