Richard Burton was a grade A f@g. Wouldn't listen to his colonial pandering. He was known for his inconsistencies and unscholarly work and he made fun of all tribes, particularly those he scorned. You're saluting a man that was mortally wounded under suspicion he was a kafir liar, and spy to the Queen. His purpose was to fabricate, exaggerate and sow enmity between clans. You know divide and conquer. His writing vacillates from praising Somalis to admonishing them in the same breath. And like an fckboy he was talking about how pretty mans was. Who does that? He's the last person to quote or use as a justification (he lacks credibility even to contemporary scholars). And weren't his Abaans your ppl. kkkkkkkkkkk He got them from Aden to translate. Even then you can't trust a backstabber innit that right. kkkk I would consider him a closeted sheegato Abu John from bari hore.
