Black Youtubers discuss Somali racial identity issues

[Octavian]

they don't even consider u ass one of their own they look down on you why do you wanna be them so badly isn't being somali enough

Black is a cultural/Social group. Somalis are apart of that social group. If you come from a Dark-skin sub-Saharan ancestry, you are Black.

A Nigerian isn't related to a Zimbabwean, A Zimbabwean isn't related to a Kenyan but they all agree to being Black and we Somalis are also Black, very simple.

A cultural group you need to ascribe by. Meaning you aren't in it by default since it's not something objective.

Look you can be black if you want, it's a free country.

Who made West Africans/Carribeans the guardian of the Black race?

Somalis are Black, end of discussion.

That's incorrect the Nigerian, Zimbabwean, and Kenyan are all apart of the niger-congo group of peoples and all genetically related. They were in west africa just 2000 years ago.

Yes, I do but the black sisters in the video I posted mentioned that West Africans experienced the same thing when they first arrived in the UK. Immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa faced similar issues when they first arrived to the US. It’s not an experience that is unique to Somalis but the Somali response has been incredibly unique in its racism.

Cause we are proud people. We are different

But how would black people insult other black people for their physical appearance? They look the same. Black people insulted African immigrants for their culture and fob-ness. But Somalis were mostly insulted for their physical appearance/Somali features. And Somalis fire back with racism because we are different and we both know it. You think a black person would feel offended if a Senegalese called him an ape? No, he’d just laugh it off, because they look the same. But he’ll feel offended when a Somali does it, because subconsciously he knows we are different.

Ok but this was made for Ados. You think we should continue to hide under them so we can take advantage of this?

My point is there are real advantages to being black in the US and absolutely no advantages to being a Somali-American. The Somali community will flourish when it accepts its true identity. Why can’t you see we are in a state of chaos because of our racial schizophrenia?

Low IQ weirdos wallahi

What difference are you exactly talking about? why don't you post your picture and tells us how you are different from Blacks, you dumbasses are ignorant and have inferiority complex, you are darker than A.A yet you want to claim not be black, take your self hating ass somewhere else.

They will always be the default/guardians of the black race in the eyes of the world and you’ll always be viewed as a watered down/ half-arab version of them if you adhere to that label.

The only delusional one here is you.

Black race isn't real on the basis of genetics, linguistics, culture, etc. only on skin color.

 

[Octavian]

how rude some of u people move to the us and then proceed to take one groups identity for yourself a group of people who have been through hell while having your customs and culture

Ya like a White man can tell the difference? There's plenty of African American's who have soft hair and a straight nose, why are they considered Black but not Somalis?

We are Black at the end of the day

You perceive differences between you and the average black person because you’re Somali. It’s called ingroup bias. The rest of the world doesn’t notice little nuances like how your hair is slightly less coiled or your nose a little thinner.

Sure thing.

First of all the Black race derives from the negroid race, Somalis aren't apart of the negroid race.

Secondally, Somalis are more related to eurasian populations than Madows.

Thirdly, Madows have 2 to 19% of their DNA from an archaic hominid ghost species (more ape-like non-human). https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/7/eaax5097

We have different dna, different culture, different features, we are own people. Somalis should have their own race because they are not similar to any other ethnic group

It’s these Somalis that like to lick black bum

Yes they do notice. Do u know how many Horners have been mistaken for other races? That’s why I don’t care how others view me.

 

[farax]

Be proud of being just Somali

Lmao U know 90% of African Americans dont have those features and the ones that do are constantly asked if they are mixed?
