Why did Somalis get labeled as anti-black...

[CaliSomali]

...and Ethiopians don't? The Ethiopians have words like "bariya" that are equivalent to "adoon" in Somali. They are also colorist and featurist like Somalis are, but they are looked up to by madows while literally every nationality of Bantu, from Nigeria to Uganda, has something nasty to say about Somalis.

Don't they remember what our people used to do for them before our civil war? We helped many Bantu nations like South Africa that burn our people alive today. Why are madows so ungrateful to us when we've done more for them than Ethiopia ever has?

They see us as inherently racist unlike the Ethiopians. Is there a reason why they come for us on social media and even real life so often? Do madows inherently despise us? I'm honestly puzzled.

Nah we just get the most attention for being literally everywhere and having a big mouth.

 

[World]

Because we are Muslim, and they're Christian.

I haven’t encountered any racism or hatered from any AA or west African because do the simple fact I was somali. Over here I haven’t heard of Somalis being labled as anti black.

I guess it depends on area. Cause over here I’m just chilling. Must suck to not be able to hoop with south sudanese and not get to participate in the lit ass African club organizations on school.
Y’all talking about dealing with being called anti black while I’m over here getting shadowing hours from AA doctors .


But anyways

Must suck to be where you live.

Kulaha anti black

It must suck not being called abdi iverson, Liban James, Mo curry by your AA friends after they see you hooping on the court. Wallahi niggas missing out. Miskeen

Somalis are called anti black in UK only in the US no one says that, in Canada the faaraxs act blacker than the blacks there gang banging and shit. No one calls them anti black either. The UK ones are attractive and get attention from asians and whites. Maybe thats why the Bantus hate them.

 

[CaliSomali]

Because we are Muslim, and they're Christian.

That's an interesting theory. Do you think our deen makes us seem more foreign to them?

 

[Yungmulababy23]

Ethiopians are irrelevant nobody cares about them

 

[Mumin]

Istaaq furullah, U know whats the diffrence between Ethio and Somalis? Other madows worship Ethiopians like god.



In 1966 Emperor Haile Selassie went to visit Jamaica, at airport there was hundred of thousands of Jamaicans mostly rastafaris waiting him to land at Kingston airport.



Cant say same about Somalis we are Culturally Arabic, geographically we are African, Ethnically we are Cushtic.

 

[Factz]

It's simple.

Ethiopians don't deny their blackness and the African Union capital is headquartered in Addis Ababa.

While Somalia deny being black and are part of the Arab league.

This source should explain better on Somali issues with other Africans. :siilaanyolaugh:

Lol, Ethiopian people don't view themselves as black. The founder of modern day Ethiopia, Emperor Menelik II, said: “I am not a Negro at all; I am a Caucasian.”

Seems pretty clear cut.

I'm talking about current Ethiopians. None of them deny being black. They're on that pan-African shit and they believe they are the African leaders.

Ethiopians back home take pride for AU headquarters being in Addis Ababa and have this black power flag. Modern Ethiopians are vastly different and their racist people are lowkey. There are many reasons why black folks don't despise Ethiopians compared to Somalis.

 

[World]

I'm talking average Ethiopians. None of them deny being black. They're on that pan-African shit and they believe they are the African leaders.

So are western Somalis. They're on that pan-African shit, but they're not representative of the average Somali back home or our culture.

Ethiopians are definitely more racist.

Just look at this. They had different categories of slaves based on their race. Somalis had nothing like this.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Ethiopia

Slavery, as practiced within Ethiopia, differed depending on the class of slaves in question. The "Tiqur " (literally "black") Shanqalla slaves in general sold for cheap. They were also mainly assigned hard work in the house and field.

On the other hand, the "Qay " (literally "red") Oromo and Sidama slaves had a much higher value and were carefully sorted according to occupation and age

Ethiopians are so racist Memgistu was hiding from them for months because he didn't want to be bullied.

Although slavery was abolished in the 1940s, the effects of Ethiopia's longstanding peculiar institution lingered. As a result, former President of Ethiopia Mengistu Haile Mariam was virtually absent from the country's controlled press in the first few weeks of his seizure of power. He also consciously avoided making public appearances, here too on the belief that his appearance would not sit well with the country's deposed political elite, particularly the Amhara.

Mengistu Haile Mariam, who declared a republic and ruled Ethiopia with socialism ideology, is also said to be the son of a former slave.

Ethiopians are racist AF. I went to my friend's Ethiopian wedding last year, she was marrying AA guy, the Ethiopians all had disgust look on their faces and this old Ethiopian lady straight up said to me, don't follow your friend's footsteps she's a lost cause. Her side of the family refused to eat food at the wedding and her mom looked like she was attending a funeral.


I was shocked and lowkey kii-ing kii-ing with the Ethiopian ladies.


@Emily why are your people so racist?

Damn it wasn't even a Habesha who beat our asses in '77. It was a fucking Bantu. Their hatred for us knows no bounds.

Just look at what people are searching about the old prime minister's daughter.

Google doesn't lie.

He's Nilotic so it's a bit better.

People called me somali ray allen cause I shot lights out from deep

For an entire summer I was called abdi iverson cause I made a kid stumble hard on the court. He ain’t even fall he almost did. I made the 3 after ward and everyone went nuts.
Dude didn’t even want to play anymore after that game. He went home
The power I felt that day

Words can’t describe how incredible I felt.

I was planning on trying out for my high school team that year but I ran into ride issues. I was so pissed

 

[Southerner]

Nothing more racist than a Somali

 

[CaliSomali]

C'mon, I bet we're not even the top ten most racist ethnicities. Somalis just don't want to mix with others. Doesn't make us racist.
