somalis must climb up the social ladder in the west!
- Thread starter southside
- Start date
It could have been a lot easier to move up if Somalis weren't dumped in ghettos the moment they moved into the west.
Most go to shit tier schools and all of their peers ended up with mediocre careers.
Do you expect the Somalis to become outliers and become the only ones in their ghettos to move out?
Other than IQ, the reason why other immigrants do a lot better is because they got raised up in middle class neighborhoods with better schools and a different culture.
The only way out of this situation we got ourselves into is by grabbing political leverage to control our own destiny.
$1,000 from 10,000 adult Somali Minnesotans could let them have the politicians in that state eating out of their hands.
For 10 million we could elect anyone we want as the governor of MN and Mayor.
Don't ask for better schooling, policing etc.
Buy the politicians and then order them to.

Very good advice. What happens when the majority couldnβt achieve such degrees? The biggest three obstacles that hampers Somalis are;
1) pride. We think technical hands on jobs are for losers and laangaabs. They would rather drive cabs than become an electrician, plumber or a builder. What a twisted mindset!
2) Family dysfunction. Many Somali families are led by single parents who themselves lack basic education and are infatuated with helping those relatives left behind and the politics of their clans and thereby neglect their children.
3) Breeding too many children that parents canβt look after. Back home, the whole village and neighbourhood raised their children together. In the diaspora, parents should be actively involved with their children even in their extra curricular activities. Furthermore, they need a space at home to study.
If all three are met, then dreams of future doctors, engineers, scientists and bankers will follow. Those who couldnβt, will run their own businesses as electricians, plumbers, mechanics and etc. where is the appropriate sacrifice as parents and the realistic attitude of the community?

A navy general once told me about something that's overlooked and motivation means nothing without it.
Discipline.
Trying to motivate the youth like this isn't gonna do much. The thing we must do is teach discipline, AKA work ur craft everyday and stop hanging out with dhoqons. Italians lived is shit neighbouhoods too in America and then they became one of the richest and most feared communities in the USA. We must be silent, patient, and hard working.
Also, this is gonna hit some people hard but many aspects of our culture are just simply shit. You either admit it or don't. We all know what i'm referring to.
