You're basically saying that Somalis have no relation to the Bantus at all, but when comparing to different races in Europe and East Asia....the Somalis are technically closer to the Bantus than we are to the Mongolians or the Scandinavians or the Mayans.
But that's just the same as saying, "The Scandinavian White Man is far closer to the Arabs/Persians than he I'd to the East-Asians and the Bantu Africans." Which is technically true, he is far closer to them than he is to other races....but that doesn't make them relatives. It doesn't mean anything.
BTW....a Somali is far closer to a North African Berber than he is to the Bantus of Congo or Mozambique. At least the Somalis share a genetic haplogroup (E1B1B1) with the Berbers as well as similar features and similar facial structure. We fall under the same umbrella as the North African Berbers. The only exception you could think of was the Masaai of Kenya....which I'll grant you. But it just further proves my point about the Bantus. That we are very different people and our commonalities are miniscule. Since the Maasais have Somali admixture, it brings them closer to us genetically. But the Masaai are the exception not the rule.
And BTW I'm in my early 20's just as well. And my critique of Madow culture is justified because they refuse to see there's a problem and refuse to correct the problem. And any Black man who tries to change it (be it Charles Barkley or Morgan Freeman or Bill Cosby or anyone else) is automatically labeled a "coon" but yet they stay silent to the degenerate Madows who post videos on Worldstarhiphop and make rap songs about killing people. This has to stop.
No we dont. The modern day Berbers are largely of European ancestry. Especially when it comes to their MATERNAL ancestry. You can't just look at y-DNA haplogroup and assume that is all there is. I think because of your racist world view, you lack much understand of what genetics really tells us. You probably just read some wikipedia pages saw that the Berbers also had Eb1b1 in high percentages and just ran with it. Forgetting that 50% of your ancestry also comes from the mother. And that is where we and the Berbers greatly differ. Just remember, many modern day African Americans have a y-DNA haplogroup of R1b (which is primarily found in northern europe). Does that mean African American males "fall in the same umbrella" as Northern Europeans? Of course not. Because the maternal ancestry of African American is largely African. The same is true for the Berbers. While their male ancestry is the same as ours, their materal ancestry is NOT. Hence why they do not "fall under the same umbrella" as us.
Also I think you are confused about the Maasai. Probably because of your racist worldview once again. The Maasai are not an "exception." They are not Bantu either. They are a group of mixed Cushitic and Nilotic ancestry. And Nilotic tribes like the Dinka are not the same as the Bantu. They are of different ancestry, just as the Bantu are of different ancestry from us.
In conclusion, the Berbers are NOT the same as us. They are a group of mixed African and European ancestry. You just like to focus on the Berbers since it feeds into your desire to be of non-black ancestry. The reality is, you are as related to the Berbers as you are the Maasai. With neither group really being 100% the same as us. The only groups you can say that "fall in the same umbrella" as us are the Oromo, Afar, Rendille, and other cushitic speaking groups in the Horn. Which should not be a surprise since they look almost exactly like us. While most Berbers DONT.
. I'm not the one begging to be a negro, a relative of Berber of anyone else.
. Isn't it those same whites that have u saying your connected with Berbers 
I'm identity less because I know history
