How would your parents react it you told them they were cushitic?

[bluebird]

would they know what it is, or look at you like you're crazy?

 

[BetterDaysAhead]

They already know mashallah

 

[Macalin M]

She will tell me to stop smoking xashiish

 

[Saeedlfc]

They wouldn't know until I explain but Idk how they'd react, probably positive.

 

[babooshke]

my hooyo is on the "We aren't black, we're Somali" shit. She would cheer me on

 

[Juke]

My dad knows all about race and its history. I don't think my mom understands or cares.

 

[Shmurda]

I doubt my hooyo knows what a cushite is but after I explained I think she'd agree

 

[TheSayid]

i dont think my dad knows about that term but he knows oromo and somalis are related. he also once told me somalis were kangz egyptians cause somalis are troublesome like them.

 

[Nåture]

They probably wouldn’t care. My mom and pop don’t give a flying crap about alot of things. Like hardcore Somali parents, U feel me

hoyo i firi cushitic aan ahay!

hooyo:

haaye hooyo, now please telefishinka ii shid

 

[Medulla]

My mom would think I am talking about weed and probably throw something at me

 

[psyche]

Thankfully my parents don't believe in historical aspects of qabils and acknowledge that they are 100% African.

About being cushitic they probably already realise what it means to be cushistic considering they know the genetic bond between other horners.

They teach about what Cushitic and Afro-Asiatic is in history textbooks in high schools in Somalia. My parents are vaguely familiar with it already.

You would never catch me dead calling myself kushitic, this question is for the ahlal waran

Nobody claims you have to identify as such. It is just a historical and linguistic term that is accurate and represents an ancient group.

Whether or not you identify as such doesn't matter, it is an existent grouping.

i'd rather have people know about cushitics and that somalis are cushitic than think we're bantu/arab hybrids

as a language grouping, yes. but most older somalis would not like this talk of "cushitic unity" with oromos, afars, etc.

My mom thinks Somalis are mixed with arab, but I'm guessing she wouldn't understand this cushitic nonsense even if I explained it to her. My dad is pan-african so he would probably reject it. He loves all Africans and doesn't see the need to divide us from them.

Both would outright reject any idea of brotherhood with Habeshas. But they like Oromos, Afars, and Sudanese people.

you can identify as cushitic without wanting to unite with other cushitics, i want somalis to focus on our community and not worry about other cushitics, also i personally dont trust oromos
