Having a black skin color doesn't mean you are an African American and other black people who are only referred to black because no one knows their background. I am Somali, and I will be referred to as a Somali Just like Nigerians,tanzanias and Kenyans are called Nigerians, Tanzanians and Kenyans, respectively.

Stop hating yourself so much. Feminists blm rally organizers like you want to be more black than the oppressed black people in America.

Do Ethiopians usually consider themselves black?

Yeah, but when we refer to blacks amongst each other we don't usually mean ourselves. There's just some people we call out of groupings and some we have names for collectively.

Pretty much. But you guys seem to hate the black label more going by this thread

Nah, in real life I think most Somalis accept it. I've met an Ethiopian who rejected the black label himself, so it's clearly not localised to us only

It makes no sense to take advantage of affirmative action but refuse to acknowledge your race as black.


It's almost like they won't be Somali anymore.

@merka Read this. It's about Mindy Kaling's brother, an Indian American (supermarket not casino) faking it as a Black man into Med school. Affirmative Action, also relevant for the workforce, though less competitive makes a relevant difference, bc companies are fined if they're all white and I think colleges and Unis get funding for diversity. I was looking for this one doc I watched on Arabs strategically checking "Black" over "White" for college admissions bc it was easier to get in. No point othering it in the US of A

At the end of the day, we are all Black in the eyes of Whites

In London, ajnabis rarely call Somalis "black". Back in the day, Somalis use to have tension with Jamaicans & people saw this as "Somalis vs blacks". Anyways to answer your question, i'd correct them & tell'em that me & these niggas ain't the same.

that makes perfect sense, the ICJ court during the trial for our sea against kenya, the Jamaican Judge was the only one who kept siding with kenya during the whole time

We gotta be able to differentiate between Sanjeet Patel and Sitting Bull, you feel me

Sitting Bull doesn't have to pull stunts like this. They get a free education, and a monthly check for being alive.
