Black Lives Matter is for Black people, not for us. Same goes for Arab issues. Neither care for us and will only use our support to benefit them.

We also don't need outsider support for anything. All we need is unity among the Somali diaspora. We can create change ourselves like we did in the past

 

[Anon91]

Yes .In the West we're the same people but nobody is going to advocate for the issues that plague us outside of the west

 

[Jiron]

Black lives matter is all of our concerns, it’s a humanity issue. We must demand that our pple get treated equally

Somalis are black

i can understand fkd, however this is an civil rights issue. You might have a hateful heart, our people and ancestors do and did not.

even if you have s hateful hear, you need to understand that the route the us is taking is a very dangerous one. They want to take the guns away from the cadaans in order to opress them to. If you think that you are safe, you ought to think again. This is not only a fight for the aa community it is a fight against police brutality and military grade police forces discrimination. hence why the people of world cities have gone to the street, they can resonate with the issues at hand.

Can we please stop with the BLM posts? This is the only topic found in the general section for the past few weeks. It’s beyond beating a dead horse now.

I’d rather have gender wars. At least those were sometimes funny

Dont know if you live in Sweden or not. Probably somewhere in Europe. But us Somalis out here in the U.S have it tough. Things are different here.
Kids out here getting caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time, just for them cops to racially profile them and probably also kill'em.
So when you hear BLM out here in these streets, You tend to immediately raise your hand for justice. Because A, you've been stopped before because of the color of your skin and , you've been called the N word by some random white person. Doesn't matter when. But that shit happens.

Sure genetically speaking we may differentiate, we may have different cultures, languages and traditions. But in America we all share one thing in common. Out here in these streets, the white man goin shoot. So you better advocate if not for your, "blackness-" then do it for your kids. Cause if they're also born here, in these streets they too may suffer the consequences. Excuse me, will suffer the consequences. I'm not even cappin

Black Lives Dont Matter. Blacks don’t have a regard for human life they kill eachother so savagely just like they kill eachother in every Black Country in the world.

black people would shoot someone if they stepped on their shoes
