Taxation is theft
Look, I’m fine if you don’t like/accept because I lack a qabil and/or that I’m not Muslim, but what do I have to gain from claiming Tuareg and Somali lineage that were missionaries and mercenaries ? It would make more sense to claim if I were claiming a famous clan, but I doubt they were anyone important. Both of those are very obscure. Either groups aren’t well known in USA. What benefit would my grandparents claiming African heritage during 1930-40s ? Even then, the fact remains that they originally came from Africa, were Sunni Muslim, spoke Arabic and HATED Ethiopians. My dad swears that Christianity originated in North Africa. Catholicism isn’t super popular with AAs either. The KKK and communists hated Catholics, too. My grandpa had two wives . Why would my family claim something that kinda detrimental to them. My weirdness is genuine. My dad’s side did at least practiced the principles of honor (Sharaf), Kinship, Modesty (Xishood) and respect for elders. He always taught the importance of knowing your culture and family history. Honoring the family name was very important. Also, my dad would tell me sometimes that he feels guilty for not being Muslim. I love Somalia culture because I want to. I believe that if your pride in your nation is based on other’s validation, then you don’t really love your nation. Most nationalists of every race seems to love the idea of their race. My ancestors weren’t queens or kings. They were religious fanatic African nazis. Berbers are insane. lol.
