What are your thoughts regarding this? Do you think identifying with a colour is a pointless concept? Personally, as a somali woman, I think that sub saharan Africans shouldn't be lumped together just because we share a skin colour. Are we crayons? Also pan africanism is a very destructive ideology to my people as we are demonised by hoteps for no other reason than "not looking african".
 
Why is it when the topic of human-made classifications are brought up, it's always about race but never geography. Either way, race is made up and it doesn't exist. The reason why every culture is categorized under race is because humans like to socially group things. I don't really know anyone that self-identifies as a race unless they have a legitimate reason too i.e. Black Americans. They might check off their corresponding race while filing out a job application, but I wouldn't say they identify as it.

Absolutely. My best friend isn't even Somali. He's Nigerian.

I personally will forever love and respect someone who treats me incredibly well over anyone who's apart of my race/religion/gender/culture/etc who doesn't.

I judge people by their individual actions, not by their race.

Loyalty will forever be the number 1 trait I look at whenever considering a friend/spouse.

I see race just like how i see qabil.
It should not be mentioned within politics or economics.

Only should be a thing in social setting and we can use it to understand our backgrounds.
