Guys why are some Somalis who identify as black

[Zoobear]

There's a lot scholarship opportunities for "blacks" take advantage of it. In any other situation I am a Muslim first Somali second. Fyi lonzo ball is considered black in America with 75% European DNA. His dad is mixed while his mother is white.

Wallahi BLM Xalimos are begs we don’t claim them. If you asked them to choose between Heaven and Slavery she’d choose to be enslaved

I wish I owned a cotton field

Mainly an American thing really (and L*ndon but that goes without saying) as having no history requires everyone in said country to identify with a skin colour instead of a nationality/people. Even the non-blacks do it over there

In the UK census as of 2021 we will be classed as our own race
What you are trying to say is that we are african not black

Out of the options somalis are black

How is that possible if we never had the same origin as the Bantus.


Look at this Bantu not claiming your people

Just see yourself as Somali sxb. Ignore the white mans label

Depends how far back you go since we all orginate from adam or will you deny that to.

Get pulled over enough times, you're black

 

[idc]

You see it’s fairly simple. If your originally from the European Continent, your white. If your originally from the African continent, your black. That’s all there’s to it.
