So today, I went to get a fade haircut at an Arab barbershop near my home today. Now I rarely go to this barbershop because I try to support black-owned businesses as much as I can, but my regular barber was not available today and I needed to get a haircut for an event tomorrow. Anyways, so it was my turn and I go sit down at his chair. The first question he asked me was "where are you from?" and I say I'm Somali. And somehow the convo went to us talking about Somalia. He asked me if I ever been there, and I said I was there for a year. He then started talking about how Somalia is dangerous, the country hasn't had a government in 30 years, the country is in chaos. And I told him I'm from the North which is very safe and only the capital Mogadishu is dangerous. He wasn't saying all of this In a rude way, but the way he was talking about Somalia was as if he was looking down on it. I then asked him, "brother where are you from?" He said Iraq. And then I start saying "What's the situation of Iraq right now? I always see a terrorist attack happening in Baghdad on the news, it's very sad. What the Americans did to Iraq is horrible. It's because of them that Iraq is not peaceful". The look he gave me was so funny, he was so caught of guard that I put him in his place. But not in a rude way. How dare he look down on Somalia when Iraq is a disaster. He wasn't racist, he was just a typical arrogant Arab looking down on African countries.

I got me some braids and I got me some hoes
I stopped reading at this point.
Lol it was the closest barbershop. The other barbershop was too far and it's always so busy.The f*ck is wrong with you? That's like buying cheese from Africa
I agree that it is. But that doesn't give him the right to look down on Somalia when his own country is in chaos too.

Hot and cold
Maybe he just wanted to start a conversation. Let's be honest you didn't even have good intentions of the Arab before entered that barber shop since you only support black owned businesses.

Where are you from?
These Arabs are so ignorant. Before we started talking about Somalia, he was saying how I look too light skinned to be Somali. He was a nice guy, he was just the typical arrogant ignorant Arab.

I agree with you
.But nonetheless go to Arab barbers when you can just go down to Weston Road and pay your hard-earned money to a Somali barber who can give you a better fade brehs/walaalayaal.
