Are Somalis black or Muslim?

[Prince of Lasanod]

Sub Saharan Africa is so backwards.

Somalis were cursed to be from this stupid, useless continent incapable of producing civilization.

If only we were located in Asia or had our own continent.

There is no Sub-Sahara in East Africa. The Nile connects it with habitable land all the way to the Mediterranean.

We wuz not Sub-Saharan.

were not black but I would definetly say were aliens.

Sometimes i think, why didn't all the nomadic Somali clans unite to conquer other lands, but then I realize.. what other lands are there to conquer?

To the east and to the north is the ocean, to the south is the tsetse fly infected and useless Bantu regions, to the west is the heavily populated mountainous regions.

It really sucks how useless Africa is outside the Horn and North Africa.

There should have been a Somali Columbus for Madagascar before the Indo-Bantus took it.

How did the Bantus even take it? Did they build ships?

We're all Black
We're all African
We're all Somali

Not all of us are Muslim
None of us are Arab

Simple

Technically some Indonesian tribes discovered it, but they shipped in Bantus along the way.

Madagascar does seem to very fertile to me after a quick search.

 

[Khalid Hussein]

I am a Muslim first.

Religion comes first.

My deen is Al islam

 

[cantspeak]

we are one of the many tribes from the knee grow people

As a Somali male, I'm seen as black first by others

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

Actually there are alot of west africans who do not see somalis as black. Which is ironic considering the BLM somalis who worship at the altar of pan africanism

 

[Amira]

The world sees me as a Black person. Doesn't matter how I view myself. The police officer will still think I'm a , the airport security guy will still see me as Black, etc....

I've never met anyone who doesn't view Somalis as Black.

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...

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.

You can't be serious

WTF

So, Airport Security officers are more nice because they see you as black, but the cops are worst because they see you as a ?

So - Security Officers > Police Officers

Okay loooooooool.

From 1-10 how oppressed do you feel?
