Unfortunately, in this day and age, your a darn racist or a colourist/featurist or somethingist, if you don't confine with the mentality of the crowd. When Somalis are getting killed left right and center in the hellhole of South Africa, there is none of this "we are Black, We are Africans", but when it suits them, "you have to be this or that".Africa is so huge and ancient, but we also have a huge population that originates from Niger-Congo, that's why a woman from Uganda can look similar to a woman from Ghana. They also have similarities in cuisine, for instance many Niger-Congo countries eat fufu/ugali type food and they also dance from the waist down- hips and butt.
So, the rest of us non-Niger Congo people stick out like a sore thumb. They want us all to join their gang, abandon our roots and uplift their features over ours. And when we come to the West, their slave-descendant cousins are waiting to force this mythical Black-ism down our throat.
I wouldn't mind economic and political alliances, but i'll be damned if I abandon Somalinimo for ghetto culture (yes, they consider ghetto music and culture "BLACK" and if you say that it's low-class they will get angry)
It takes two to tango.
