There are idiots within our community who hate on other black people for almost no significant reasons.
other black people never knew about our existence mostly until we moved to the west around the late 80s, 90s and 00s. Some idiots are acting like this because of the situation back home where Somali-Bantu’s are treated as second class citizens, so they mostly never saw a difference between these people and the other black people in the west.
I also want to add this:
If you hate other black people, don’t participate into their things. That includes culture, Music and Slang. African Americans have had an undoubted huge influence on pop culture and created many modern genres which even our people jumped on back in the days (Disco, Jazz and Soul). The current “fashion” every teenager is obsessed with is street style and Y2K fashion that they also created. They popularised their slangs, they popularised The N word, they popularised hip hop culture and rap culture which has a huge significant influence on Somali guys. You can’t hate them and despise them while you participate with their things. That’s hypocritical. If you hate other black people, then you shouldn’t participate into their culture. Simple as that.
