POLL: What do you identify as

[Steamdevolopment]

The problem is that these pro-Arab guys will point to that Maghrebis, Egyptians and Levantines aren't peninsular Arabs either.

They are people who have been invaded and erased by Arab culture to the point that is the only thing left for them.

If Somalis can identify as Arab then Nigerians have equally valid claim to "arabness".

It's madness, ku soo laabta waaq-weyne waaleyaal

The problem is that these pro-Arab guys will point to that Maghrebis (Berbers), Egyptians (Ancient Egyptians/Copts) and Levantines (Aramaic, Punic, Syriac, Mesopotamian) aren't peninsular true Arabs either.

Not me I consider them all Arab.

There is some correlation of course. Let's not be nitpicky, people will laugh if a 99% European identifies as a Zulu.

we are heading to or may have arrived a time where opinion has caught up with facts. If a dude can say he is a woman.....no reason why a black man cant say he is arab. Im just becoming a liberal lol

So everyone who is majority Hamito-Semitic is an Arab?

 

[Ayaanle]

Transracial caucasian should be an option.

Why are you against diversity @CaliTedesse you bigot?

Somali shying away from identifying black is very detrimental to them due to the fact because of their inclusivity they have less allies and less people that are sympathetic to their causes

lol you think Madows see us as one of them?

 

[land owner]

That troll caano who wanted to start his own ethnicity got me thinking.

Lol what would you name it?

 

[Apollo]

Lol what would you name it?

'Usubis.

 

[Nilotufian]

For ethnic Somalis ID'ing as Arab is not an option tf

allies? black people are not allies to anyone.. Where is the black community in the west. Everywhere blacks kill and stab each other. If you in london as black man....your biggest threat is a black man

Why you qashin me like that @Steamdevolopment ?

'Usubis.

Doesn’t sound too cushitic to me I was expecting something like waamo or jiboole

This is more radical, a nubian queen

That was a mistake.

I shall not award thee with anything but praise.

Since when did Cushitic become an identity

Anything can be an identity if you identify with it strongly enough.

Silver.l. Gedi?

Most normie Somalis who aren't aware of the term are still aware that people like NE Sudanese, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Afars and Somalis are related somehow.

What does anyone gain from identifying with it? At least there are so pan black or pan arab entities one might argue could be of some draw to someone’s “identity”

So everyone who is majority Hamito-Semitic is an Arab?

Everyone who has identified as Arab for centuries is Arab. Anyone who feels Arab is Arab. That's why me as African as I look if I stood up to a Arab and said I was Arab too. He could not say a thing.
