Why Are Somalis So Quick To Accept the "black" label?

[Yonis]

This topic gets rehashed every couple months or so but the amount of disinformation permeating this debate is really troubling

All of the videos on the topic of somalis being black or not, are a bunch of idiotic somalis in the comments section going along with this fake black label, most of them don't know its a code word for negroid. We need to mobilise and actual movement putting this debate to rest one and for all

 

[Awoowe]

Topickaan gabdhaan ku nacay only insecure people hate been called black which is why lots of Somalis lighten themselves.

 

[Tufaax]

Man f off with this recycled garbage

Black is just a common thing to group africans, somalis recognise this, but we don't put any EMPHASIS on it, as it's not really needed for us.
It's simple easier to identify as somali, no more than that is needed.

In case it wasn't obvious I aint no black.

Your DP says otherwise

Alhamdulilah we are Somali and not black.

 

[Tenners]

It’s just the Somali girls. They are truly bring us down and should be put on house arrest until they stop twerking for social media and liberal views

Because we have black skin, grow afros and are from Africa. The fact that we have the same basic look as other black Africans also points to that direction. It's not a complicated matter you stupid ape.

Somalis have Black Skin, Wax Kale oo an qaaradaas ahayn oo an wadaagno ma jiraan

With that logic i wonder if you will say the same about the Turks who look very much whites or your analogy applied to somalis

Dark skin is not somehting to be ashamed of, however i don't think it's fair to label all dark skinned ppl as black. If you do that then you might as well label all germans and french ppl white and generalise them also. We shouldn't except that label as we have our own heritage, black is just a cadaan label to tie us down with the ever sinking AA ship (these ppl are embarrassing even to west africans).

That's a bad analogy because not all Somalis even have soft (wavy or straight) hair. Even back home in Hargeisa, I would say like about between a third to half have good hair, the rest isn't exactly kinky but it's still black-ish

SO what? all whites have straight straw like horse hair, that doesn't mean all whites are lumped together stereotype wise hell even some arabs have the same features as whites.

I was trying to polite is saying lots of Somalis have people with - though finer - african/black hair. You're acting as if most true Somalis (not counting Bantus of course) have either curly, wavy, or straight hair.

What's all those afros in the 70s and 80s then? Actual afros not jew fros or fake ones

Arabs are grouped with white people in reality though

I used to have that kind of afro but when I got out of the shower my hair was in curls what are you talking about no matter how Madow we get we won't have negroid hair man and nobody in the world would group 90% percent of Arabs into the white people maybe some Levantine Arabs but that's it

Maybe come to the motherland and you'll see not every has good hair, you're delusional. It doesn't have to be kinky 4c hair but hair even AAs have.

And I dunno where in the Middle East you've been, but the Khaleejis look like pseudo-Persian. It's only the Yemenis and Omanis and some Iraqis (slave trade and such) that have darker skin and some textured hair in their populance. If the Armenians and Turks are white, why wouldn't the Arabs.
