How long do you give it before Somalis finally come to terms with their true identity? I give it a generation and these discussions will be a thing of the past. Only fobs think they’re not black.

 

[Odkac WRLD]

I’m not black. I am Odkac.

Nah but seriously I get that I am grouped with them by society in US, but I don’t feel any heavy kinship with them. I won’t rob them of their history like that.

I am Somali. That is all I am and all I’m interested in being.

It’s so embarrassing. Why can’t we argue in private

I’m not a negro but I am Cushitic

 

[Duchess]

I’m not black. I am Odkac.

You’re not special sweetie.

 

[Odkac WRLD]

You’re not special sweetie.

My immediate family begs to differ.

 

[Manafesto]

Somalis who deny being black are just dumb as a rock, I am light skin with jileec hair as you can see on my profile yet I identity as black, stop being weirdos and be proud of being black.

 

[Duchess]

I’m not a negro but I am Cushitic

You expect people to notice the difference but they don’t.

 

[farax]

I will not be categorised as a black just because western society views dark skin Africans as black, I will never be lumped together with different ethic groups from Africa as I am the superior Somali

There's no such thing as the black race, it's a social construct. We have nothing to do with Madows other than skin tone.

Why do a lot of people think Somalis are part of the ‘black race’

My immediate family begs to differ.

 

[Macalin M]

I am a black man. I just asked my Nigerian and Congolese friend in the PS4 party what race I am and they said black. No lies.

A lot of people think drinking disinfectant is smart

When people see you walking down the street, they see a black man. They don’t see whatever you have deluded yourself into believing. They see a negro.

If they really believed we are the same why were they trying to cancel Chunks for saying the n word? We are black, but they like to make a differentiation that we’re black, but not black black as they say it, and we won’t beg it.
