AUN to your father. May Allah forgive his sins if he was Muslim. I feel sad for all the half-Somalis because they go through so many identity issues. Both of their sides don't want to claim them which is sad. Half-Somalis live a life of confusion.
I have to give you the cold-hearted truth that these other jileec members are too afraid to tell you. Its my duty as a full-Somali to provide guidance to half-Somalis on what they are.
In Somali culture half-Somalis are seen as "qashin". Somalis don't like or respect half-Somalis even if they have a qabiil. I've seen this with my own eyes and the other members here like to deny that but they are wrong. Somalis view half-Somalis negatively.
That being said, listen walaal, ignore the old ladies that bother you and your mother. Old ladies like to chat shit about everyone even if your full-Somali. Ignore them.
Are you Muslim by the way?
I have definitely heard that word being used often around me. Tricky women and people! Sometimes it sounds like they're talking about a random object, but they're insulting me
We're all Muslim including my mother (converted). Sometimes they call me a bastard bc they think i was born out of wedlock. oh well
its tough because i see a lot of pity in people's eyes when they see us, and sometimes a lot of regret from my mother. i tell myself you dont know what the future holds for you, so keep faith and stay strong. but these past years have been difficult on us, its quite disheartening.
with the old ladies and their children...i keep hovering between confrontation and being patient, especially considering how aggressive they seem. dont want a full out fight with the lot. they are a tough group. i have seen the fights they've had with the half-somali, half-turkish family down the street and the yemenis on the other block.
they're somalilanders too so for some reason they even down on our reer hamar neighbor for being more softer and gentler with people
