The J Word Has Gone International

The terms 'j*reer' and 'jileec' are, in my perspective, descriptive words. 'Jileec' is applied to South Asians, and the person who used it in that context could be categorized as such. 'J*reerwayne' also denotes a Somali Bantu tribe that takes pride in its name, even having its own flag. However, like any other descriptive words, these terms can be used derogatorily, akin to words like 'black' or 'white,' or 'fat' or 'skinny.' In the context of Somalis in the West, 'j*reer' has become a universal term for individuals who resemble Bantus, as it's challenging to discern their specific national or regional origin.

Additionally, a distinguished companion known for his remarkable handsomeness, titled 'the Yusuf of the Ummah of Rasulullah ﷺ,' was named Sayyiduna J*reer bin Abdullah Bajali رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ.
Jàreerwayne is a political alliance of certain jàreer clans and confederacies not all of them are bantu nor are the majority of the jàreerweyne clans bantu . Not all Jàreer clans in Somalia are part of this political alliance either.

I’d be honest: I believe there should be a cultural transitioning with the words we use towards minority groups in Somalia.

These words we use makes us looks like we’re living in a Stone Age.


It makes us looks dumb and backwards. We should go by their ethnical terms rather using cues to define them. (Cringey behaviour).

White people in new world countries are also dumb with their term by calling people based on on their colour rather than their ethnical traits.

Somalis love using rude nicknames, and most Somalis have a nickname related to their appearance or personality! We need to go after these disgusting people, who like to make Somalis look like demons. Accusing Somalis of being racist, when every. single. person and ethnic group gets called by their appearance!!!

I’d be honest: I use these in conversation with my mother. But only because is just too normal.

ak@ta is a slur directed at one specific people. Jrr isn't. It means afro. afro-brazilian, afro caribbean, afro american, afro euro or random african. If you know the heritage of the african, it's more accurate to use that. The folks who have a problem with the word, hate to be called African in the first place.

In Congo the Banyamulenge Tutsi are being genocided. Why? They are perceived as foreigners, and what are they called: Somalis. That's right, these people are killed and told to go back to Somalia.

People in the west refer to people by literal colors, and we look primitive?

An cadaan and indoyar person have said the J word in my presence. I have known the cadaan guy for some time, he is a local dude (he has also somali friends,) he wasn’t tapped into somali business like that before 2020 :mjkkk: I was in total shock, but when the indoyar said it (the context he said it too) made my head combust.


I have noticed foreigners have become more familiar with somalis then ever before, even those who have somali friends. I have met folks who are 1-step away from completely assimilating into us, both men and women.

Shit is crazy man, but I guess its kinda normal. You are what your friends are and we are also very welcoming.

Where I live, somali words are part of the slang and folks have copied basically our whole syntax, not only words.

Also have to say the biggest culprits are dhegacas and timojileecs. Other groups are just skinny dipping while these guys do a deep dive.

Tiktok and Twitter have set us back. Idiots started blabbering that word everywhere on those 2 platforms and continue to do it.

There is no going back to 2019 times. Prepare yourselves for an uncontacted tribe from the Amazon to speak to you in somali.
Its crazy the exposure we're getting lately even high profile celebrities are dropping random Somali words. Only on Football twitter do you see those popular pages with 200K+ followers using the J word or the X word
 
Did any of you hear your parents use this word growing up? I have two Somali parents, grew up around plenty of Somalis, and I just heard this word for the first time this year off of reddit
