Who fits the new alleged Somali phenotype?

[sums20]

I saw a video of a Somali chick on my TL where some Oromo's were claiming she was a Somali and she had to do a video in Somali saying she was Somali. God forbid pretty girls come from our country.

They are sooo weird it's not just them the habeshas stalk us as well and fill comment sections trynna claim any lightskinned or even good looking somali it's pathetic wallahi and they have to clarify repeatedly

I would like to add that Somalis have been hating each other and fighting each other for God knows how long. Somalia is a very divided place, with many different states and internet states. Other Blacks, sometimes dozens of tribes in one country, live harmoniously with one another and build institutions together and trust each other. Somalis, the same ethnic group and same Shafii Islam religion, divide themselves in many different pieces and distrust their reer abti down the road. This just proves you guys are 100% the problem. Everyone knows its true. Blacks will fight and make up but Somali Blacks is tat for tat forever.

My favourite Somali proverb:

Me and my nation against the world; me and my clan against my nation; me and my family against my clan; me and my brother against my family; me against my brother"

My favourite african proverb is:

The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.

I am overly embraced by Somalis because whenever I say I am not Somali, people call me delusional and "white pleasing".

As a person who distances himself from somalis irl (your words).. what inspired you to become a staff member of a somali forum? Seems very odd to dedicate so much of your free time to a community you don’t like

They are obsessed with Somali and Horn African women in general. They don’t like the fact that we look different and even when the Somali phenotype is mentioned they start talking shit about pirates and refugees as of they represent the ‘true Somalis’ . For example this Somali girl has a very common look amongst our people and they will accuse you of cherry picking.

Crazy, that is a bog standard Somali girl and she isn’t even seen as light skin by Somalis but you’ll see hordes of comments by other groups going on about how she doesn’t represent the average Somali and they’ll go on about light skin privileges and all sorts. At this point it’s just hatred, plain and simple.

I dont think somali skin tone shows up well on camera it cant decide if its light skin algorithm or dark skin algorithm

Woman. Why?

No way

U guys really need to understand that Bantu will hate u because they think you’re not native to Africa. U should see how much hatred West Africans n South Africans have towards Somalis just cuz we weren’t slaves n have a proud history. You guys are forgetting Bantus did a whole genocide in Rwanda to the Tutsis cuz they have an inferiority complex, they still think Tutsis came from Somalis today.


Look at this for laughs. Not one hair strand in sight but obviously dnt look like them and they hate that.

Yeah that’s mariin, I have the same skintone. Somalis range from light to dark but I would say vast majority have soft hair and slim noses.

Adding on to camera issues its also harder to distinguish in an indoor light like warm light because of reduced perceived dynamic range. The best way to capture mariin colour is in natural outdoor light

Someone can take a photo of a somali indoors on a bad camera and they would look lightskin and ajaanib in a colder light environment who may well be lighter skinned than somalis see the photo looking lighter than them and assume something weird is going on Especially if they met a somali in real life and saw the actual skin colour. then they make conspiracy theories i guess

This can be remedied with increased real life interaction
