war these kids either be wanna be gangster or wanna be jihadist, they all have some sort of mental illness and identity crises. Somalis and freedom is not go well together. they have to choose worse from any society or group. it's our nature of valiant . from that risky life and entertain it. wa noo3 minal mental illness.

[SahanGalbeed]

Hold on a minute Dr Do7a . The vast majority of somalis youngsters are normal people .
Aren't you the noo3 minal 9atar

loooool I could be khatar to the society too in the right circumstance . Allah kareem.

[Bibaaye6828]

I seen them videos this kid was postin
complainin bout how he wrote some verses for drake and how he aint been payin him. Drizzy even gave that nigga a shout out lol.

[Hyperactive]

he should registered copy rights, then that ilmo daga7 would be in trouble.

It is not a life style for somalis and assimilation doesn't have to equate with the worst society has to offer , total fakeness . Let him take it a wake up call . Wanna be a a "nigga" , this is where it leads to

It's a phase. I transitioned from a angry black man to the Garaad Soomaliyeed.

Many of my friends did as well; I am 29 years old the hip hop culture does not intrigue me anymore.

I am a first generation Somali Canadian; the next generation will be the new negro in NA wait for the Somali Lives Matter Movement

Gegiroor,

These kids also need a good shower

I also was once a skinny wannabe gangsta, the allure of this lifestyle somehow resonates with young refugees living in gov't housing. After being both shot (shoulder) and stabbed I felt like I was invisible and become even more reckless.

As you probably know, my family emigrated from Mogadishu in 89', when I was a year old.

My older brothers that were 12+ and schooled in Mogadishu knew they were from a respected family with a good image within their community and knew who they were and their self worth. However as the youngest in the family I didn't get the privilege of being cultured and raised in Somalia and did not fully know my worth (I viewed myself a black minority kid ), so I gravitated towards and immersed myself in Hip Hop culture that I identified with as a young teen. I was lucky to have a good familial support system that were patient but disappointed nonetheless.

Can you imagine that throughout primary and middle school I was a honor roll student with straight A's and a xafid quran; however after immersing myself in this evil culture I moved from the front of the class to the back and sabotaged my grades to gain acceptance from the gangster kids. I was an self conscious good kid trying his best to be an evil delinquent lol. I finished high school with horrible grades and no ambition whatsoever. This culture destroys an individual moral compass then addiction and persecution breaks you till you don't recognize yourself in the mirror.

Today i'm almost 30 with a masters degree and a well paying career in Somalia Alx. So I can put this in perspective, I did not change until I had an epiphany while on my first vacation to the motherland in '05. Dhaqan Celis literally saved my life With my western education and my contextual knowledge and experience I am unstoppable back home ilaahi mahadi

Anyways I have a soft spot and increased sympathy for these kids; because I see the old me in them, may allah guide them to the right path and protect them from harm. Be kind to these kid and understanding instead of being judgmental and 'holier than thou' I know you are annoyed by AA culture lol. They are merely a product of their environment.

Rant Over

garaad, inader well said. I always tell myself when ever I feel , I am lucky, I didn't walk on their shoes and they didn't walk on my shoes. they could be the luckiest ones all I know with all their phase they are going through. they may have cleanest hearts.

I always knew good kids with nice personality that could effect most of times.

as my eedo says; wala dogiye la ya da'aroon. wa laka bihi, nothing is forever bad or good.

[hangool79]

who beat him up and why

[SahanGalbeed]

Well spoken my nephew garaad 13 , you're still a little off even with your masters degree , but in french they say you do not choose your family

Hyper our people are something else. Many of our people do not feel empathy for their people and play judge and jury.

Similar to white people in the US who enjoy watching programs like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich in an attempt to boost their own self esteem through the miseries, misfortunes and shamelessness of characters featured on that show. American love watching a train wreck

I often ask myself why do post information on every Somali that is murdered and go further to state they deserved it? Why don't we not let people change and remind of the mishaps of the past?

Furthermore, if you enjoy hip hop music, why can't you support Somalis that make this genre of music? If you read the comments on Somali artists on Youtube; you will notice non Somalis post encouraging comments while Somalis are cursing them lol. Like Somali talent bothers them or something. This is not a consistent position.

An individual I am fleeing a crime in Canada, that I have a country wide warrant issues and 40,000 reward for my arrest on crime stoppers looool the audacity of some people lol

[Hyperactive]

some of our people are cruel. there was this young lady, who was drunk driver and killer some one. they asked the community to chip and pay for good lawyer. bal if you do not want pay iska amus " why drunk an la'ag oka bihinaya for lawyer...bla bla"

the poor thing had mental illness and didn't get help. miskeenta, she killed her self in the detention center. little humanity is a must. you never know this person what they were going through before their crime.

[SuldaanMaplesyrup]

Ovo gang which consists of Drake (yahuud), Oliver al-Khatib (Arab), and Future the Prince (Ciidagale )

It was over some beef on instagram apparently

Even worse an individual posted on this site that I am fleeing a crime in Canada, that I have a country wide warrant issues and 40,000 reward for my arrest on crime stoppers looool the audacity of some people lol How can someone that doesn't know write something like that.

Subxanallah that is a tragedy! Hyper I am a legal practitioner like yourself but I haven't stepped in an courtroom for two years now, and I don't plan to step foot in a SL courtroom ever again. I now work for a policy institute as researcher and a legal consultant, but after specializing in human rights law, my first job fresh out of school was with the child rights unit @ Unicef.

I quickly found out that international human rights standards, the bill of right in constitution and other domestic laws (adopted from treaties but not implemented) do not apply in SL; which is prolly not a surprise to anyone. Anyways the stories I have to tell and things I witnessed in that short period of time left me jaded; For example I defended a nine year old girl who was raped repeatedly by a 63 year old man who was a friend and mirqaan partner of her father. The first day of court over 200 spectators showed up just to see the girl, so I requested for the spectators to be dispersed and the court closed bc the case involves a child and to safeguard her identity. A curtain to be placed in between the accused and the defendant inside the courtroom; bc a child victim should not have to face her abuser in court bc he most likely still had power and control over her.

To make a long story short my submissions at the arraignment were laughed at and dismissed by the bench; and the judge had the nerve to say that if the family cared for her dignity they would settle it out of court, and that the court is open to spectators and media, this is Africa requests cost money:shock: Even more disgusting the girl is now married to the old man vis a vis Customary Xeer informal settlement

These judges pray every prayer but have no Iimaan. The public do not trust the courts nor the Indian penal code from the colonial day that is still used. That is why the customary Xeer and the Sharia courts are cheaper, quicker and widely accepted by the public.
