what is black. Because I know there is no such thing as the black race. Genetically the differences between a person from Senegal and somalia is bigger then the differences between an Asian person from China and a white person from the UK. What do we share with a so called 'black brothers and sisters' .
The two obvious factors are skin colour and land mass. Naturally we live in africa and therefore we are african. That is a simple truth that can't be denied. Then our skin colour. What determines our skin colour. Our race naturally has influence in that but the main factor is the tropical environment in of somalia, in which melanin has allowed us to survive in a hot desert country.
These two things are truly the only things they share with them however are they strong enough factors that able to identify us with them. Personally I don't think so. For example Pakistanis and Arabs have generally same skin colour and share the same land mass. However, could we say that they are the same people. No because it would be ludicrous to try to say they are the same people when it isn'the true. Any Paki or Arab would self identify as being different. Why because they are. In truth we share less with a so called black brothers. We have virtually no history, we don't have the same culture or languages or religion. Pakis and arabs share more such as land mass, skin colour, history and religion they are different, why.
If you want your identity to be determined by someone else that is fine. However when we virtually have nothing in common but skin colour and the same land mass, you can'take truthfully say we are the same. I will not let a white man determine my identity and re-write my history. When I broke away from the bullshit black label and went back to my real and truthful roots i learned some much about my people and wallahi I am proud to just call myself somali because that is all I am sxb. Return to your roots and don'the allow your self to be entangled in the struggles and life of people we share nothing with.
I will leave you with this sxb a somali quote about waaq, the god somalis worshipped before they accepted islam. 'God (Waaq) created the Black race and he smiled, and he created the White race and he smiled, and then he created the Somali race and he laughed." Even back then our ancestors established the differences and self determined their own identity. You are somali, nothing else nothing less.
Also I am fed up with these threads. Can we have some more originality wit has our threads please.
