Why are we concerned about what other communities think of us ?

[Cilmi-doon]

I’ve heard many Somalis say Arabs don’t like us or Pakistanis are racist and so forth.

If we spend all our time, energy and resources to mistreat and displace each other.... logically why should we expect other people to respect us ??

People value those who value themselves.

Cognitive dissonance :


They know that somalia is a failed state, and that we are the least contributive group, but they can’t go against Somalinimo or allow themselves to be criticised.


I’m one of them

Some people only measure their self worth on the opinions of those who they deem superior

While mocking people they think are inferior in order to compensate for the lower place on their imaginary social hierarchy

Racism just isn't logical innit?
I for one don't care about what Arabs think, but it is true that Arabs are racist that don't like anyone with dark skin. It is not us carrying about what they think, it's just us condemning them for their racism

Who even started taking the opinions of Pakistanis seriously anyway? That's what's confusing me
