We are in Europe so you know that even in forms they still have to add - African in the ethnicity section. Even then I find the black in the tag offensive though I choose not to be offended.

Taking away someone's cultural identity and simply calling them "black" acts as an oppressive tool in itself. In this country though you might refer to someone as "black" etc in a conversation it is not what identifies them. When it comes down to it you know/find out if the person you are talking about is Jamaican or Nigerian. That is the difference between Europe and America.
You were more than happy to refer to someone as mixed race.

Exactly.

Who's the mixed race guy with the big hair, he's going to cost Chelsea a penalty.
Even other snetters referred to players by name or country of origin. :lol:

Does it even matter ? African Unity is more important. Something a certain clan helped destroy via the displacement of Barre (AUN)
Somalis however reject such ethnocentric 'labels' such as 'black' - no such race exists. We are Muslim. Somali. Clan [Gaadabuursi, etc}. Arab.( due to clan origination ) - and African geographically.
Black and proud etc is a defense mechanism and reaction that has led to an inferiority complex derived from colonialism and racism. Sad.

90% of the horn of Africa will agree with such sentiments. And a substantial size of those in the west.

I finally get why guys say get off my di.ck. What in God's name... :lol: :lol:


"Mixed race" is what you say in this country. You might just call them "black" or "biracial". Clearly they don't have one distinct ethnicity. Now seriously. Quit begging for my attention. :whoa:

Black, white, and such are races. Somali, Kurdish, et cetera are ethnicities. By saying mixed-race, you reaffirm racial categorization. The same categorization you just condemned. Seriously. How can you not get that? This is like speaking to a child.

A reverse-panda-looking child. :wow:

I was actually going to respond to your post until you edited it. This is why I chose to ignore you from the beginning, you are just a strange person. Feel free to keep running around after me.

So Barre was pro African unity even though he in the first place decided to invade Ethiopia despite the fact that other African countries opposed? Was he pro Somalia when he ordered the bombings and killings of innocent civilians, majority women and children? You can use the religion card and the blue flag but a faqash will always be a faqash. A spineless hypocrit.

@BV: I responded to you in respectful disagreement, and you replied with a personal attack. You didn't absorb a single point made and you continue to throw around hypocritical, self-contradictory bullshit and going on megalomaniacal rants when they are commented on. You just don't like your (baseless) assertions being challenged, or for your (ignorant) errors to be highlighted. How could I not make fun of you? You proved incapable of having an adult discussion, yet you can't even take what you dish. How is it I follow you, when you posted in a thread? Did I solicit thee in thy inbox? Read over the past 2 pages and think (if you can - emphasis on the 'if').

Feel free to keep trying to save face for things you said on a public discussion board, where you willingly roam and verbally shit. :up:

Igotcatsandcrapz: was role playing as a gay Haitian man asking for graphic details on how Somalis bath whilst privately messaging men to try something new with their relationships and now it has delusions of moral high-ground. It also speaks Somali, whilst ranting a few account ago about ethnocentric racism.

Interesting.

Meyle - You were pro Somalia until just a few weeks ago , this is maybe because A) You're account has been hacked B) A Darod/Hawiye gabar rejected you Damn. C) You've succumbed to your feeble mind ?
You pick.

I reflect on the most important points - regarding issuing the details, a smart person would deduce.

A nationalist/dictator/honorable, True Somali person is by default a irredentist ! Understand ? You do realize that a whole majority of your people reside in Somali Galbeed and All of you're people reside in the Hawd ?

Did you really think that a dictator and his minions would not of have eradicated a threat let alone a movement hellbent on succession and murdering other citizens such as Dhulz etc etc. ---------- Again Barres administration murdered other clans, reject what you're family/clan has told you.
Bare in mind in waqooyi galbeed you dudes already tried a coup early on in Barres reign :lol: - And that was the ONLY coup in the history of modern Afrika that the perpetrators were left free. (when they should of tried on treason)

Urgh, you see every thread don't you as multiple characters? I was starting to like Negritude, but the illusion of crapzandsnaps just cringes me now.

I have never confused a Lebanese singer with an Egyptian one.
