It's obvious to anyone with eyes there's a divide where some of us identify with Arabs and others identify with Black people. I bet everyone here is, or knows Somalis from these "sects" within your communities.
Habeshas are exactly the same way in both identifying as Black or refusing to, or identifying with either Arab Muslim or Coptic Christian culture, and there have been videos with Habeshas talking about identity on YT so don't blantantly talk bullshit about how Habeshas don't get heat as Somalis do for either emphatically identifying as Black or refusing to. Only a person who doesn't know jack shit or has never been around any would say that. It really is a Horn African "issue". Many of us deal with it on the day-to-day where we're questioned about our looks and how it relates to race.
It's understandable African Americans have a Black, Afrocentric narrative to push, but why do SSpot members get their panties in a twist everytime this happens and treat it like it's a huge revelation, like there's singleminded group unity, like we don't have it where one Somali will embrace the label "black" and one other won't ?
For all their distancing they sure act a lot like Black Americans if we're honest in everything from dress, to mannerisms and speech, especially the guys, even in the burbs far away from the low-income families that understandbly act like them due to sheer proximity and growing up with/around them. You all even call each other nigga even on here, despite being so-called "anti-black". Inb4 someone posts a white person saying nigga and calls it cultural appropriation, when you know the manifestations are a lot deeper than that.
