Are u a proud somali?

[niggaibnh]

I couldn't care less if we were Hunter-Gatherers for our entire history. I will always be comfortable and proud to be what I am. Learn from the Badu:

I do not care if Xamar was some thriving medieval port presided over by a "Barbara" Suldaan (Somali) as early as the 14th century. I do not care if we had some walled interior towns like Bardhere over a hundred years ago. I do not care if the Sayyid somehow won victories against great empires like Britain and Italy and prompted them to need fighter jets to end the affair. I do not care if some of our ancestors won victories against the Xabashis 500 years ago and rode into battle in chainmail and armored horses:




I do not care if we've had, for hundreds of years, respected Islamic scholars like Sheikh Jami of Harar whose hands were kissed at Makkah:

I do not care if the bustling, wild and insane trade-fair of Berbera was once the envy of the whole Western Indian Ocean coast with the very Gulf it sat upon being called "The Gulf of Berbera" once upon a time. I do not care if we had market-towns in the times of the Greeks or if we were famed hardy warriors even in the eyes of our gaalo enemies:



Nor if entities like the Geledi extracted tribute from the Omanis or if our predecessors over the last 200 years were traveling in Dhows from Bombay to Mauritus and Jeddah. NONE of it matters. I am as the Bedu. Proud and confident in my humanity and mere existence itself. I look down on pathetic people who need shit like "My ancestuhhh build BYRAMID!" to feel whole. It's utterly pathetic and I adore how they ignore that, throughout history, most people were peasants and slaves and only a tiny minority lived well. You are not likely the descendants of Pharaohs but overwhelmingly the descendant of those humble Fellah predecessors working their fields but be PROUD and comfortable in yourself nonetheless, you ninny.

Well there goes my act and oscars worthy performance.


So let's dissect this properly. We know about macrobia thanks to herodotus and according to his description in terms of geography macrobia lay south of egypt in modern day sudan not somalia. Now do you mean to tell me that these macrobians that lived in sudan 2500 years ago were somali? If so did they speak somali? Who were the pastoralist that were living in somalia and depicted on the temple of hatshepsut 3500 years ago?

I don’t think it would be Sudan or the Nubians .
The Greeks wasn’t stupid and they knew Sudan and the Nubians however they described macrobia differently from the Egyptian, Sudan(Nubians and the others ) and also the Ethiopians .

What if I say macrobia was different ethic group but lived in the Horn of Africa ? Seem possible

How can one be not proud of being somali? Obviously after being proud of being Muslim!

Allah bestowed upon us one of the greatest blessings which is being somali, a nation 100% adhering to Allah's religion (even though we are not infallible). Alhamdulillah for being somali.

As for history, we have a rich and and bountiful history and heritage. From seafaring adventurers to camel riding nomads, from fierce warriors to learned and esteemed and respected scholars throughout the world and eras, from hut and Reesh dwellers to multistorey and castle builders, from rulers of ancient and pre-islamic Kingdoms to Sultans and Imams of Islamic Sultanates and Imamates.

Alhamdulillah.

Hell yeah I love being somali. i just need to learn the history better cuz I don't know anything about it. I would appreciate someone to post somali's history with the history starting from the beginning of time until today (in order). i read a lot of history about somalia on here and I just get confused. who is macrobian? nubians? cushites? kingdom of auntan? abyssiana?.....etc I have no idea who is who

I like my own people and ethnicity, but not in the “Muh qabil” “Muh Tuulo” sense, or the overly nationalistic fanatic to a fault type of person that too prideful to admit what’s wrong with his people or nation, that’s not even all that productive of a person tbh. It’s good to have a high self of esteem and to look at people like you in that way too.

 

[Shk_ljh”630]

Being prideful and arrogant in one’s own accomplishments like schooling, career, sporting achievements, makes sense of you think about it, you were the one putting in the hard work and discipline required to propel yourself into the higher echelons of society

Being prideful in peoples accomplishments that were not you is cope tho, wheter it’s white supremacist, or hoteps, anything of that sort is one big cope and those types that to that stuff out loud in real life are just compensating for the fact that they are low achieving members of society and need to extract their self worth for something

I was just reflecting last night & I think for the first time in my life I admitted to myself that I am not proud being somali. I was blindly patriotic as a child, but after learning about qabilism, the state of our government, the treatment that women & children go through back home, the continuous drought & famine, the fact that our lands are occupied by our enemies & lack of ancient somali history (DON’T U DARE MENTION MACROBIA OR PUNT! UNLESS THERE IS EVIDENCE LINKING US TO IT, ITS PSUEDOHISTORY) the list could go on forever. But I would like to clarify I dont hate being somali, I just dont see y ppl r boastful about it.

kulaha "after learning about qabilism, and the state of our government" as if you made some novel discovery

It took me 30 seconds of watching Universal TV at 8 to clock Somalia was special beyond belief

When I step on the rostrum to present to a distinguished crowd of my contemporaries in their thousands, and my colleagues let it ring 'Here comes the good nomad, Our native ole pirate, Oh he is a jolly good nomad x3', then I know I am a proud Somali with a nape the length of a delightful giraffe toasting itself in the barren bays of the Sahara, and shimmering bollocks akin to those of a lustful squirrel desiring glorious mirage in the distance. Then, I return to my humble lair, flick open my 3rd screen to glance at sSpot, in quest of semblance of familial agency, and there I read some of the stuff some of yous post here, and find its calamity awfully uninspiring, yet lucky for me, I instead tune into my beloved Somali poetry, for there I rejoice in the company of giants amongst Somali sons. Verily proud of the said giants, I shall forever be.

Postscript:
A young English subaltern was once asked, what makes him proud of being British; he quipped with glee: 'The empire, sire'. See, when one falters in own stride, falls short in own stance, or fails in wanton fallibility, then one seeks bodies and articles elsewhere to make one proud, or a peg to hang h(er)is fedora at h(er)is inevitable resting ground.

Oh nuff said.

I absolutely abhor going to the office after a severe Qarax. If Qarax happens I eat at my desk and don’t go to the canteen.

@Grigori Rasputin how do you act around coworkers after Qarax

No, don't leave! Ignore them the same way the wise don't acknowledge those more ignorant than themselves. Your writing is a respite to all the useless drivel here, and you've also made me be less sloppy about the way I speak. You're a positive influence, no doubt.

Oh very good of you.
I do not consider them slow, perhaps a bit challenged in the literary sense.
