HI EVERYONE YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO THIS NEW SUBJECT I WHANA TALK ABOUT... AND FEEL FREE TO COMMENT EVERY COMMENT IS NECESARRY..

WHAT I WHANA TALK ABOUT IS OUR PPL THE SOMALIAN PPL.. SINCE I'VE FOUND THIS FORUM I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE FORUM AND I'VE READ MANY INTRESTING THINGS AND SOME STUPID THINGS.. BUT I HAVE LEARNED A LOT INDEED I HAVE AND I WHANT NOW TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL WHAT I HAVE REALISED...

I BEGIN WITH A TOPIC THERE SOM OF YOU HAVE SEEN MY NAME ALL OVER THAT PLACE THE TOPIC WAS : AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSLIM BROTHER SEEKING A SOMALIE WOMAN.

AND I'M GLAD THAT I POSTED A MESSAGE THERE BEACUSE I HAVE LEARNED A LOT .. ONE IMPORTANT THING I'VE LEARNED IS THAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T TAKE YOU FOR YOUR WORDS AND THEY CALL YOU ALL KIND OF NAMES JUST TO HUMILIATE YOU, SO YOU GUYS WONDER NOW WHAT HAVE SHE LEARNED. WELL I TELL YOU I'VE LEARNED TO NOT GIVE UP, NOT GIVE UP. I'M NOT GONNA GO DEEP IN THIS SUBJECT I JUST TOOK IT AS AN EXAMPLE NOw I TELL ABOUT THE NEXT TOPIC

IT IS A TOPIC I MY SELF POSTED AND IT'S ABOUT JAMAICANS. I'VE SEEN ALL OVER THIS FORUM SOME PEOPLES OPINIONS ABOUT THIS PEOPLE " JAMACIAN" AND THAT ONLY PROVED TO ME HOW SOME PEOPLES MIND WORKS AND HOW SIMPLE MINDED SOME PPL CAN BE. AND I ASKED MY SELF IS THIS THE PEOPLE I COME FROM. DON'T TAKE ME WRONG PPL, I'M PROUD OF BEEING SOMALIE I HONESTLY AM. BUT AND THERE IS A BUT, WHY DO WE LOVE TO JUDGE OTHERS WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE ARE MORE THAN WHAT WE ARE?

AND TODAY I SAW IN THE GENERAL FORUM A POSTING MADE BY MAD MAC AND THE TOPIC WAS " OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SOMALIS MADE BY GERALD HANLEY" AND PPL GO AND CHECK IT UP YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING...OR MAYBE NOT

AND I'VE SEEN IN THIS FORUM HOW SOME TALK ABOUT SOMALIE WOMAN. AT FIRST IT WAS HUMILIATING AS WOMAN TO READ WHAT SOME OF THE GUYS WROTE AND IT STARTED I FIRE IN MY HEART AND I TOLD MY SELF I'M GONNA STRAIGHT THIS I'M GONNA TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH. BUT DO YOU THINK IT WORKED? :) NO IT DIDN'T THIS TIME THE HATE OBJECT GOT A NAME AND THAT WAS JAMIILA :) FUNNY RIGHT?

NOW TO MY POINT NOW HERE IS THE REAL ISSUE I WHANT TO DISCUESS WITH YOU ALL.

THE SOMALIE PEOPLE OF OLD DAYS WERE A UNITED PEOPLE WITH DICPLINE AND STRENGTH THAT IS WHY THE EAUROPEANS HAD HARD TIME WITH OPRESSING THEM. DO YOU KNOW WHAT UNITED OUR ANCESTORS? THREE THINGS FAITH IN ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY, STRENGTH AND LOVE THAT IS THE QUALITIES WHO UNITED THEM. SO LOOK AT THE NOW DAYS SOMALIES WHAT UNITES THEM NOW? NAME ME ONE SINGLE THING THAT UNITES THEM? I CAN'T CAN YOU?

THERE IS NO UNETY BETWEEN OUR PEOPLE TODAY WE SECONDGUESS EACH OTHER WE JUDGE EACH OTHER AND WE ARE SO FILLED WITH HATRED. WHY?

ALL OVER THE WORLD WE ARE A BURDEN. AND THE ONES SUFFERING IS NON OTHER BUT THE SOMALIE YOUTH THE TEENAGES AND THE KIDS. THEY FORGET ABOUT THEIR HISTORY AND THEIR BACKROUND AND THEY TAKE OTHER CULTURE AND OTHER RELIGION CLOSE TO THEIR HEARTS.
YES WE ARE LOOSING A GENERATION AND WHY IS THAT?

I'M IN A HURRY NOW so i haven't said it all BUT I WILL BE BACK SO take care FOR NOW BYE, AND GO AHEAD AND COMMENT

it's like that ok. One of the reason I mentioned Jamaican is that I whanted to know why some have hard time with them it does not have anything with me to do. And you asked me to answer you honestly and I'll do that the answer is NO NO NO.
I hope you'r satisfied with that answer if not then who cares................

Jamila that 's answer my question but why don't you stand for the Somali men when other's like;True deqaa and Hona and them are putting down
Somali men and making fun of their sexual parts and and their skinny frames.
Instead you have chosen to stand up for African Americans and Jamaicans in the previous archives.
so I was just wondering why is that??????

did it ever occur to you those people you mentioned are more or less racists themselves.....believe me in north america not a day goes by without someone passing a crude judgement about someone or something....i live in new york and i know what it feels like to live among blacks , hispanics n whites....i deal with them day in and day out......indeed not everyone in every society is bad....but to potray blacks aka jam...afro-americans as being innocent and unbiased is totally hypocrital of yu...Whites atleast for most part try to be diplomatic...they show their racism in small ways.....but black man will walk up to you.....and he will talk whatever is on his mind....if i learned anything while living in NY.....i learn to adopt to new things and at same time i felt the need to be myself....i tried to identify with blacks but it felt like i was chasing a ghost....in other words they were different people and i was different from them.....n i was not one of them....some even despise how i look....their version of an African person is one from west Africa....to some them i was just half-creed bastard......as person i get along with everyone as far as work and school is concerned.......i limit my socail life to somalis not but coz iam racist but coz bad experiences with non-somalis......anyway my point is racism is everywhere.....n these people judge us the same way we judge....those who inter-mingle with somalis even bad-mouth us.....i don't think i need to tell da bad things they say about somali girls and somalis in general.

Somalie Yankee

bro you're right and I'm sorry that I wasn't clear what I whanted whith this subject is that I whanted to know how come we are so prejudice and that is a reality we can't escape from, we judge in everything. But when I mentioend jamaicans is that I've seen how you talk about them all over the forums and I know that some are good and some are bad but I don't think it's right to judge a people by the way some of them behave.

I honestly didn't know before what they said about somalies I learned this in theese forumss, and that is true. I've never come across were I live people who talk bad about somalies in general. And the way the talk about somalie girls I really didn't think that they have so low thoughts about us. I don't know if the reason to that is that I live in Scandinavia but I honestly have not heard from people bad comments about somalies in general.

Salamz All

This topic sounds like it got potential in exchanging thoughts without bashing each other. Inshallah it will stay that way.

Now to add my 2 cents into this topic:

Where should i start????
Ok. Jamiila i also wonder sometimes why people always like to trash the forumss with nonsense. And why they enjoy bad mouthing other people. I understand that every1 is entitled to their own opinion. But in here some ppl dont like to give u the freedom of expression and if they do they interrupt what u were trying to say in the baddest way they can. I know a couple of ppl who dont not enjoy posting in the forumss because of the attackers who seem to be waiting for prey to attack. I strongly believe that every1 is entitled to theirs own opinion or belief and that every1 should RESPECT every1's oponion and Belife.

Somali-Yankee:
Yeah its true that we see racism all over the place. But is that an excuse for us to become racist Because "every1 is doing it". I certainly dont think so its Up to us the FUTURE to make the change. And yeah Jamicans and other ppl make fun of our somalian sisters But hey who can blame the somalian Brothers who are supposed to help their fellow sisters DONT instead they help the other ppl put remarks about the somalian sisters on the street. So trully if change is gonna happen the change should be from ourselves we need to stop posting rude remarks about our fellow brothers and sisters in Islam. And we need to unite as brothers and sisters in ISLAM to make a Difference. But, without this unity of ourselves i dont think their will be a change (now i can imagine ppl wanting to prove me wrong....if u can prove me wrong go ahead:) i got no problem with that as long as it will help us as a whole). Yankee if i have misunderstood what u where trying to say please except my sincer apology in advanced. And this was not a personal attack and if u think it was please except my apoligy in advanced my intentions were not to hurt any1 but to try to express my thoughts.

If i have offended any1 please forgive me....and anything Good I have said is from Allah(swt) and anything bad is from Me and/or shaytan.

PPl like you shouldn't be alowed to open their filthy mouth.

salaamu calkuum walayaal,
u know i find this topic to be extremly interesting and facinating in terms of its content.
____________________why?_______________________

because i can very easilly identify with it.
let me tell about a personal experience...... plzz hear me out.......

well, view years back i was just like any average young somali refugee tryin to survive in this cold whethear of BRITAIN london to be exact.
obviously i was another skinny somalian young fellow, i was subjected to constent racial abuse on dailly basis from all other the racis!!!!!!!!!!
i use to have fights regularly at school, at work and on the street.
i also had another a problem: i never really use to get along with many somalis, because i was brought up in the middle east, so i had a little culture difference with ur average somali.

anyway, to make a long story short, i start lifting weights and eating good food..and step by step i developed my self into some what of a giant.... AND THAT WAS THE TURNING POINT OF LIFE.

NOW, i'm bigger then most of the negroes (slave babes) that are on the streets. and as a result i'm being given the out most respect with out even saying nothing at all.

i also learnt 1 very important thing over the last view years, that this is: WHEN U LOVE UR SELF AND FEEL PROUD AND DIGNIFIED ABOUT WHO U R AND WHERE U FROM,, THEN THAT IS WHEN OTHERS WILL BE ATTRACTED TO Y.O.U AND WILL SHOW YOU RESPECT AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

THIS IDEOLOGY WORKS BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND NATIONS.

COMING BACK TO THE CORE ISSUE OF THIS DEBATE.
its a fact that somalians never been racist in the past, but now they are back @ home in the forums of tribelism and barbaric ideolgies and the reason for is ignorence and stupidity.

and somalis in the exile are now racist, and the couse of this is HARSH experience.....!!!!!!!!!!!
somalis have learnt and are learning the hard way, THE tough way and the rather unplesant way, which is WHEN U LOOSE U LEVE UR MOTHER SOIL, U LIVE UR DEGNITY AND NATIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL PRIDE WITH IT..........AND THUS FEEL WANTED IN SOME FORIGN LAND.........ESPECIALLY BY LOWER CLASS PEOPLES eg. blacks, hispanics & asians.... BECAUSE THEY THEM SELVES HAVE SUFFERT GREATLY AND BADLY FOR 100's OF YEARS IN SOME CASES.

AND THEREFORE TODAY THEY FEEL THAT ITS THEIR RIGHT TO ENJOY BEING RACIST AND ENJOY DOING TO OTHERS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO.
IN SOME CASES ITS OUT OF JEOLUSY, IN OTHER CASES ITS OUT OG HATRED ...P E R I O .................

AND THUS ::::::: I AS YOUNG SOMALI MAN AM RACIST AGAINST ANY BODY AND EVERY BODY WHO IS AND WILL BE RACIST AGAINST ME AS A PERSON OR TO ANYBODY AS A SOMALI ETHNIC ORIGIN. __________AS SIMPLE AS THAT, NO MORE NO LESS__________


I LOVE SOMALIA MY MOTHER SOIL, AND I LOVE MY PEOPLE (SOMALIS) BECUASE THEY ARE PART OF GREATER FAMILLY.
_____________AND I HATE TRIBELISM, AND ALL ITS STUPID AND POINTLESS MOTIVIES___________

I TREAT PEOPLE, THE SAME WAY THAT THEY TREAT ME.

::::::::::::::::::::THERE IS NOTHING I LOVE MORE THAN MY FELLOW SOMALI SISTERS AND QUEENS. NOW AND 4 EVA::::: NO MATTER WHAT THE HATTERS SAY::::::::

U CAN AGREE WITH MY OPINION AND U CAN DISAGREE WITH ITS UR GOD GIVEN RIGHT.

Bro I difenently agree with you but in the part you are saying :" THE tough way and the rather unplesant way, which is WHEN U LOOSE U LEVE UR MOTHER SOIL, U LIVE UR DEGNITY AND NATIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL PRIDE WITH IT........"

Bro with all do respect you're wrong. Only the stupid one leaves his Dignity and induvidual pride. I've seen how some somalies can be they carry them selves with such pride and dignity and they never let any foreigns put them down. But sometime if they get the chance to choose between pride and knowledge I'm 100 % sure that most of the somalies choose pride. Pride is good, belive me I know that but sometimes you can put it a side.

And the people you've mentioned they have not only been oppressed in 100 years they've been oppresed in over 400 years. And they have survived beacuse they put their pride a side. And don't take me wrong I'm not saying that we somalis should do that NO I'm not saying that. What I'm sayin is that we should instead think of surviving and how can we survive in a hostile envirmente? By learning as much as we can the kee is knowledge and taking it with us back home.

And bro you are talking about ppl putting down somalies, what do you say about somalies putting down each other?? The brothers put down the sisters?? One tribe put down the other.
WHY I CAN'T GET IT.

WE WERE ONE PPL WITH ONE CULTURE AND ONE RELIGION
WHAT HAPPEND TO THAT???????? WHY DID WE LET THE IGNORANCE ONES TAKE OVER????? ANSWER ME PLS
AND HOW CAN WE OVERCOME THIS DESISE CALLED IGNORANCE????


JAMAC ARE YOU STILL INSISTING ON INSULTING ME??
I LET YOU OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME BUT NEXT TIME I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LISTEN THRU INSULTS...... FOOL IS WHAT YOU ARE AND A LOW LIFE JERK.......:) did that hurt or you whant more

Hi Jamila....well i guess they don't have jam in scandanavia....lol anyway i personally don't encourage racism on any level but i do hate to see people drag my good name through the mud....what i even hate more is seeing my fellow somalis trying to defend those who defame us.....my main point was foriegners do trash us too....but than again not all foriegners despise us....they are da good and bad.
Muslimsista....we all dream of the ideal Muslim world....unfornutely the reality is far more different n cruel.....Muslims are indeed racists
iam not saying we have to be racists too but we should be able to fight off those who intend to degrade us in anyway....i do agree with you on one thing....change has to come from within...we can change for better.....n abaa about da bros bad-mouthing sista....they are certainly fools.....the only things i have for a somali gal is my love n praise
Peace

Somaliyankee,

I can't speak for the scanadinavia but I can speak for sweden and I swear I have never meet a jamaican..that is what bugs me I don't even know why somalians have hatred for them (I'm not saying every somalian)....Well lets skip this people.....I see their names all over the forumss.....

"anyway i personally don't encourage racism on any level but i do hate to see people drag my good name through the mud"

if you mean forigners then I have only one thing to say to you..other people trash us when they see how we trash our selves and that is a fact.... why would they drag our good name thru the mud if they haven't already seen a somali do that???

What I'm traying to say is bro....the somalian people are the ones with hatred ( not all, not the god fearing induviduals) we whant others to give us a fair try but we are the ones putting each other down....... !!!!!!!!

here in sweden we have a big problem I don't know how it is in USA, CANDA, ENGLAND etc
here in sweden the biggest problem is the somalie youth..... I my self are a youth and I feel for my fellow brothers and sisters...the biggest problem we face here as youth is the lack of strength..... that is true brothers and sisters...
When somalies leave their country....it seems to me that some of them leave their strength and the parents pass that on the children.... and without strength and belive we can't survive and I've seen how one after the other of my brothers and sisters fail I've seen them in despair and that hurts me like hell...Their parent's failed with them and they don't have a helping hand.... what I'm traying to say is that.....what can we do as a people to help our youth?? What can we do, because it seems to me that we are loosing a generation......

Can you guys tell me about the biggest problems in your side of the globe?? I know it may sound odd but, I think by charing with each other the problem we face I think we can help each other make a diffrens!! we can all start with a corner and meet each other half way..... What do you guys say????????

Somali PPL, like any other race have a mixture of good and bad. Our pride is an essential part of our charicter and will be hard to put aside.
Today we face our greatest problem, which is for the Somali's back home to get a lasting peace.
For the ones in the diaspora, or outside Somalia, the issue is to adapt to alian cultures which are totaly different from our own. Somali's living in the urban cities of the west, such as the Americas and Europe have been introduced to people they are not traditionaly familliar with, and this has created tension and hostility. Take for instance London England in the early 90s it was very difficult being a Somali as the level of racist abuse was very high. Who was being racist and made the Somali people feel most unwelcome, it was the Afro-Caribean communities who where the most bent on harasing the new commers. It was this community who used the name Somali as a word of insult. We have over time grew to live with them, and they have realised that we are not going anywhere and are more than their equals.
So to my sister Jamilia, we have all as Somali's faced our struggles, but trust me for 13 years I as a child had to endure racsist abuse and have fought
countless fights just because I was Somali, and in London that was a weakness, I would like to add not all Afro-Cribeans are bad, i have couple of friends from that community.
Peace in the name of Allah

AND YES I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT SOME SOMALIE PPL DON'T WHANT TO ADAPT ALIAN CULTURE AND THEY SHOULDN'T DO THAT EITHER.... BUT BROTHER THE ONES WHO ADAPT ALIAN CULTURES WHY DO THEY ADAPT THE WORST CUSTOMS IN THAT CULTURE WHY DO THE DO THAT?????????

TO MARCUUTIO A VALUABLE LESSON?? :) NOTHING HAS BACK FIRED AT ME....AND IF WE AREN'T SAYING ANYTHING OF INTREST FOR YOU THEN TO BAD :(..... NEVER BULSHIT A SOMALIE???? WHAT AM I THEN I DON'T HAVE ANY INTENTIONALS TO BULSHIT A SOMALIE.....SO BRO TALK ABOUT SOME THING THAT MAKES SENSE....

hey jail,
first of all..I am really proud of you for bringing up the truth and something somebody among us had to mouth. It is my first night I have ever read this Somali forums and you cannot imagine what I have encounter in here..I have never thought or even dreamed about Somali ppl talking or acting like this(barbarians)..I have never thought they could insult each other from tip to bottom and feel proud of it..and hey Somali ppl R not alien to me..I grew up among them ..but tonight it seemed like if I have seen some alien ppl in here...I grew up in a society where we were trained not to even use the word stupid let alone all the nasty stuff they were saying to each other..and this experience shocked me and I am not recovered yet!!I have come to this western world lately and have been here a less time but nevertheless I saw how our ppl have taken a big time change especially teens and youth...and I guess the explanation depends on many situations...
for example teens some of them try to fit in a community and to do that and to feel accepted they act like westerns and eventually they lose themselves in the process....but I keep on wondering what happened to the 28 or 29 year old person who is like that??..at that age it is time for ppl to settle down and think about their future life...
this isn't the first time Somalis become racist..they have been 50 years ago and will always be..but talking from my own point of view..it shouldn't matter where a person is from as long as he/she is Muslim and they can understand U for who U R.....all things about Jamaicans and all the things about Negro..it doesn't really matter if a guy or a gal is Muslim Jamaican ...she/he is lawful to marry..but all the messing around...guys plz don't make me puke now..so Somali ppl try to maintain what U R and plz do something for ourselves instead of being rivals..we don't have time for rivals now..we left our home for it...I guess that is all I gottta say now ..I will get back though..
take care everyone bye

this was a plesent surprise.....finaly somone.....with commen sense.......I agree with everything you said but eccept one thing.....you said that : it shouldn't matter where a person is from as long as he/she is Muslim and they can understand U for who U R"........I do agree but at the same time I don't..and the reason to that is.....we should.respect individuals for what they are...not for what they aren't and in this case....they aren't somalie/non-muslims......the respect should be there no matter what religion you have and where your're from.............

I value a person on his/her character...not on what heritance they have.....no it's wrong to do that......and bro/sis.....I had exactly the same reaction as you had when I first came to this forums.....the first weeks everything this people wrote amazed me.....but now I'm use to it.....

" I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" Dr. Martin Luther King

isn't that something we as a people should think of.....we shouldn't judge whatesoever but if we do.....then we should judge by the content of the character....nothing more than that...............
