SO LATELY IVE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW SOMALIA WAS LIKE DURING THE PAST AND I WONT REALLY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF PRE CIVIL WAR SOMALIA BY SPEAKING TO MY YOUNGER FRIENDS SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR ME TO SPEAK TO THE ODEYS, SO I WENT TO THIS CAFÉ FILLED WITH ODAYS AND I SPARKED A CONVERSATION ABOUT SOMALIA BEFORE THE WAR, MIND YOU MY AF SOMALI WASN'T THAT GREAT SO IVE MISPRONOUNCED SOME WORDS HER AND THERE, I TRIED TO ASK THEM ABOUT THE KACAAN ERA BUT I GOT THE WORD MIXED UP AND INSTEAD I ASKED THEM “HOW WAS THE KACSI ERA LIKE?” THEIR MOOD WENT FROM FRIENDLY AND HAPPY DUE TO MY CURIOSITY OVER SOMALI HISTORY TO IMMEDIATE UTTER DISGUST AND ANGER THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS SOME SORT OF FREAK! THEY ALL STARTED TO CUSS ME OUT TELLING ME TO ISKU XISHOOD! ONE EVEN CALLED ME A QANIIS! I WAS SO CONFUSED OVER ALL THIS OUTRAGE OVER ME WANTING TO LEARN ABOUT THE KACSI ERA (IM STILL THINKING KACSI IS KACAAN SINCE NOBODY TOLD ME WHAT KACSI REALLY IS YET) AND I SAID “I HAVE A HARD TIME SPEAKING ABOUT KACSI WITH MY YOUNGER SOMALI MALE FRIENDS SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER TO SPEAK ABOUT KACSI WITH OLDER SOMALI MEN, WHY WONT YOU GUYS TEACH ME ABOUT KACSI?” NOW THEY WERE 100% CONVINCED THAT I WAS QANIIS 
AND GOT EVEN MORE ANGRY, ONE KHAT CHEWER PICKED UP A CHAIR AND SAID “QANIIS DILA!” SO I HAD TO LEAVE, THEY TOLD ME I WAS BANNED FROM EVER COMING BACK TO THAT CAFÉ. I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY PARENTS ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION AND THEY STARTED LAUGHING AT ME ONCE THEY TOLD ME WHAT KACSI MEANT I GOT EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED AND ASHAMED OF MYSELF IM NOW AVOIDING EVER ATTENDING ANY SOMALI GATHERING, I WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE KACSI BOY THANKS TO HOW THINGS QUICKLY SPREAD AROUND IN THE SOMALI COMMUNITY
