I agree with you on the fact that Somalis have their own unique problems that need to be addressed internally, but you have to admit that we do face many of the same issues as other black people (especially in the U.S). There's alot of overlap. Discrimination based on skin tone, young boys involved in gang-violence and selling drugs. Police killings usually begin with harassment. Since you concede that some Somali boys do get harassed, it's only logical to expect that one day one will get shot. Do you think the police won't shot a Somali boy because he's Somali?
Until we see our Somali boys and men getting brutally murdered by cops we can only speculate but we haven't seen it. Thus your point is null, and a mute point also cops wont shoot you cause your a Somali boy they will shoot you if they feel threaten so my advice put your hands up and just follow what the cop order you to do. Also if you stay out of of trouble and focus on your studies you should be fine.

Did you not see what I said early about investing in our youth and making sure they go astray into these gangs. Also a lot of communities deal with this issue of young kids going down the wrong path and joining gangs example being Mexicans, and other minority groups even poor whites.
As for discrimination based on skin color that's what ever minority deals with but we have the unique experience of having Muslim names too something majority of the black community does not deal with. Also the negative hatred Muslims receive in this country even from blacks too I have seen these madow one time calling this old Somali dude walking to Friday prayer a terrorist.
Asian also face discrimination in the work force and at university where there is a diversity quota that hurts them since they over represent shouldn't they complain too.
Bottom line is we don't need social activism we need to become like the Jews and invest in our communities. Also focus on Education and building Economic power nothing being victims. Nobody respects a poor man but everyone respects a rich man look at Donald Trump or Jeff Bezos sure everyone hates them like the Jews too but I am pretty sure they sleeping Comfortably without worry about social issue that affects them.
