Half Somalis are way more loyal to Somalis than full Somalis will ever be

[arawelo 2.0]

Because the father is usually gone?

not completely gone but if the father isnt there all the time i.e divorce, then obviously the kids will be however their mother raised them.

this is just what ive seen in my family so obviously just anecdotal.

Might be true to some extent. My mom's only half Somali but you would never know--looks aside--because she acts like a typical Somali hooyo, speaks Somali fluently and pretty much grew up in a Somali household. However she grew up in Djibouti so I guess it would be different for half Somalis who grow up in the West. The ones I've seen really rep their Somali side though.

Is your Hooyo half Yemeni?

For example: Robin Banks is Somali on his mom side but he identifies as Somali first.

Alisha Boe from 13 Reasons Why loves being half Somali while totally neglecting her white side.

Then you have many full Somalis on social media who hate on Somali women or Somali men.

So y'all should stop disowning half Somalis and deny their Somaliness.

It's not like she can pass for a Norwegian. She looks insanely Somali for a person who's also half-scandinavian.

Even her eyes are very Somali Lol.

I have a hard time believing she's mixed, her Norwegian parent can't be full white.

It's a huge generalization. But in my experience I'd say the ones whose mothers are Somali typically have more of a connection than the ones who're half Somali through their fathers.

In my experience it's the opposite.

 

[Prince Abubu]

It also depends on what you're mixed with. If they are half cadaan, half Asian, half madow, they tend to be less culturally attached to their Somalinimo. It's usually the half Arabs, half Oromo/afars and half south Asians that are more in touch with their Somali side.

 

[VixR]

In my experience it's the opposite.

I have immediate family members who are half white. It really depends on the background of the mother and the environment, in my experience. I see a difference in my cousin who's married to a White guy and my brother who's married to a White girls' kids even though they're super young, or it may be just that.

Because the father is usually gone?

Not necessarily. Married or divorced, mothers spend more time with their children than fathers. Also, the connectivity dynamic of children to their mothers' side of the family is different than how they connect with their fathers' side perhaps due to the aforementioned difference in time expenditure, and this tends to show especially if the couple is from different backgrounds.

not completely gone but if the father isnt there all the time i.e divorce, then obviously the kids will be however their mother raised them.

I actually don't think it's anecdotal. I think its true in general.

Lol, i've seen Somali girls who resemble her almost completely. Seems like the cushitic genes won this one

Hence why I find it amusing when Somalis are outraged when a Somali woman marries a foreigner. At least their children speak Somali and know the culture, they also tend to hang around with Somalis.

Maternal influence is incredibly important.

You know the kid isn't somali he doesn't have a qabil only if the father is somali then the child is Somali.

They can still be Somali nationals and they can still advance Somali causes.
It is far riskier for a Somali man to marry a non-Somali woman than the other way around. Ultimately, it is his bloodline and they will carry his name forward.

It doesn't matter what he does he is still not somali he doesn't have a qabil.
If a man married an ajnabi the children are still somali with there qabil

Its lineage, but at the end of the day how much does it really matter? It's not like its a deterrent. Genes don't have qabils.

That's actually more tempting than deterring. Who the hell cares if your kids don't have qabiil.

Most Somalis

Hence why qabilism is alive and well.

I've been fucked over by my own people so many times that's why I'm not loyal

That's because 90% of the time the father isn't around so these half-Somali kids receive the same level of influence as any full blooded Somali child with an MIA abo. Unfortunately it's not any better with a Somali father which is why it's very rare for half-Somalis with a Somali father to even remotely have any Somalinimo... abo don' cut on em before they could walk.
