This is a long ass rant, so i live in a very populated city with loads of somalis. I am born in this specific country and i have myself never been in Somalia, or anything like that and i’ve never really grown up on somali culture since my parents are both raised in Europe. I however come from a really religious household, and wear the veil. So I don’t really know if I deal with self hate but I have always hated being a Somali.
It kinda all started when I was younger, since I used to be very much westernized. The city I lived had a lot of newly arrived somalis. Most of the Somalis that live here are usually immigrants. So I used to get very bullied by several girls since I wasn’t “religious” and they used to tell me that I would go to hell cause I did not wear a veil. The teasing was usually everyday but I did not pay attention to it. I was getting teased and discriminated against by many elders, who did not even let me buy something from their if I did not wear the hijab. It was to the point where grown men used to litterally stop me in the middle of the street and talk about me needing to be “afraid of god, and that I will enter hell if I don’t repent and cover myself” you know the same old story.
So I started wearing it for own personal reason, and til this day some people still complain to me about my clothing.
However the thing is not this. The same girls that use to talk about me repenting and needing to cover my hair is litterally The same ones that used to crucify me.
Same girls are all over social media with their bare midriffs and belly piercings and whatever. Same girls that used to tease me are the ones all over social media, smoking, half naked, having sex and all that shit.
I don’t know what the f*ck is wrong with the Somali community but the standards they put girls wearing hijabs are ridiculous. You are automatically seen as a sheik if you cover your hair. It doesn’t matter if you club everyday and have zina and all that other shit. If you wear hijab is all good. Another thing that I see with all of these so called sheik girls Is the sickening double life. Wearing shit and being half naked one second. Then another picture you see them in a abaya and a hijab. I’ve seen this behavior so many times that it’s sickening. I don’t know if I’m being too into this subject or me projecting my experiences into others. But shit like this is why I would rather not be associated with any Somali girl.
They are embarrassing as f*ck and I’m tired of this double ass lifestyle that all the ajnabis peep and stay asking about. We all know that somali girls get forced to wear the hijab, but if you don’t wanna wear it. Stop fucking terrorizing people who don’t PUBLICALLY wear it. All in the same time while you run of to the nearest bushes to remove your abaya and hijab in the way to school. I’m tired of it all, seeing the local xalimo who used to be the most sheik and win all the quranic competition. Twerking on some dude in the club, all while having picture of you in mosque and club side by side.
