Are Somalis black or Muslim?

[Apollo]

1. Religion
2. Country and Continent

Muslim has become a racialized term in the West. Especially due to the far-right who use it as a shorthand for brown people.

Those fools who think Muslamics are related.

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...

Stop right there with your tumblr lingo.

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

How are we an extension of Semitic/Arabian culture?? We have our own unique culture and language that isn't even part of the Semitic language family. Yes Arab (sp Yemeni) and Somali cultures have influenced each other throughout history, but that doesn't mean our culture isn't distinct.

The last thing on anyone's mind is what the West thinks. The media has shown to be untrustworthy and the far-right love to feed on people's scepticism of the media by telling them absolute bull shit.

Muslims are no doubt seen as an issue in the West but there is a growing hatred of immigrants world-wide especially from Arab nation states and East European immigrants(especially in Europe). To be honest, it really depends whereabouts in the West you live as well as where exactly in that Western country you reside in.

It is an extension like a hair extension on a AA women there both distinct but part of the same whole, we are culturally and psyomorphologically arabian

Lol, we should judge the term by the merit of it's theory.. not because certain parts of tumblr (not all) abuses the meaning of the concept.

"Psyomorphologically"? Now I know for sure you're trolling

 

[Aaegal]

We Somalians are White European Christians.

First voter for black. You can change your religion but never your race.


Look what Arabs have done?

 

[Simodi]

No one agrees on what being Black means because it's a social construct. Also, no Somali person back home would ever call themselves madow, it's ridiculous. We are Somalis and Muslims. That's it.

 

[Lord Flacko]

You wanna know what Somalis are?










Tired of the same fucking topics behing rehashed over and over again.

Whenever I hear the word Intersectionality I think about purple haired teens calling themselves trans-fluid dragon kin

I was expecting some special treatment from my Abgaal cousin

 

[MadNomad]

We are black in the eyes of the world. How we view ourselves might be different.

I'm your abgaal cousin, not your arabgaal cousin

Can you debunk it though here I have some proof linking our close ties to the Arabian motherland
