In the West we are "black" but that doesn't mean we're the same. We have nothing in common other than being targets of racism based on our skin color.

We are not black so they shouldn't beg it.

Who is black/aswad/xabash/noir/nero depends on language/context/identity. I have seen dark skinned Somaalis and West Africans say Black when to refer to an AA person that is more light skinned

And here you have these inferiority-complex ridden Xaliimos actually ARGUING with this man by insisting Somalis are indeed Black

Who couldn't see this coming? You're already seeing the war between the darkskins and lightskins.

Why even involve yourself with this American Black nonsense?

Be a Somali. Be who you are
