Why do Somali's tend to cry so much when Arabs call them abd

[Raganimo]

itrah....let me explain something to you....the somalis you see now...are obviously mixed.. and they came from somewhere other than east africa, as somalia was inhabited by berbers before these somalis came along...chances are we come from a mixture of ethiopians and black arabs....nonetheless please don't associate us with kenyan bantus and f-king west africans....i mean i love them as my fellow africans but we don't share genetics...no fuck that... my hair is too soft dammit...and look at my nose....that aint bantu...or west african!!

There were no "Berbers" in Somalia. I think you are confused by the fact that Arabs used to refer to our ancestors as "Berber", but they got that from the Greeks/Romans who also used to refer to us by the same name. Berber basically means "Barbarian". Greeks and Romans viewed anyone who was not part of their civilisation as barbarians, hence the name.

Somalis have like 30-40% West Eurasian admixture but it's not from Arabs. It predates Arabs and is from an extinct group of people who lived thousands of years ago. The African component is also from an extinct population which is most closely related to Nilotics.

The elephant in the room is that Somalis are descended from an ancient population that is much older than the Semites (let alone the Arabs). Nobody wants to talk about this fact since we've been brainwashed to believe that we have Arab blood. Most Somalis have negligible Arab blood. Most of our admixture is also on the maternal side. This completely debunks these BS qabiil myths (Sheikh Darood, Sheikh Isxaaq). A Hawiye an Isaaq and Darood are genetically indistinguishable from on another.

Take it a step further: We share a common ancestry with the Oromo, Afar and other "Cushites".. Go back even further and we share a common ancestry with the Habash.. Go back some more and we share a common ancestors with all Afro-Asiatic speakers (Ancient Egyptians, Semites, Berbers, Chadic speakers etc..).. Our history is definitely more than 700-1000 years old like most of these oral traditions will have you believe.

Ps. funny how nobody asked themselves why our language is not Arabic if we descended from Arabs. We should be like the Sudanese or even Swahilis, whose language is at least 50% Arabic.. Instead we have a very distinct language and some distinct traditions... hmmm..

Growing up in the uae I've been called cabd a few times in my 18 years of living there and it was always Palestinians and Lebanese that have never come across a Somali before.
I did what I had to do kick there as to educate them.
Everyone else who was familiar with Somalis knew that we are extremely proud to the point of arrogance and violent as he'll.

I've been arrested for assault twice as a teenager and only connections saved me from jail time.

And ironically I am one of the most chilled peaceful guys you will meet.
But racism flips a switch in my head and I get very violent.
It's not just me, Somalis in the gulf used to be feared and respected.
We would only face issues from clueless Arabs who have never met a Somali only spineless Sudanese.

And I still like goading them telling them they are cabd Al yahuud. Always referring to them as you Arabs while talking to them in Arabic.
Confuses the he'll out if them.
And when they ask you are you not Arab. I say I'm Somali not Arab.
On other occasions I would say us Arabs and identify as an Arab.

The look on their faces is just perfect.

@Gurey. Yeah I have noticed that. They will call a Somali cabd and then in the same sentence will tell him he is an arab. Bizarre people. I remeber when one Bahraini kept referring to me as Antarrah. I had to research that shit. It turns out that this Antarrah dude was a famous pre-islamic warrior-poet - he was also a black slave. Needless to say, that kuwaiti dude wasn't calling me Antarrah any more.

Tbh, outside of their natural habitat, most arabs are chill. The only arseholes are Lebanese, palestinians and Egyptians.

The only time I have ever experienced racism, prejudice, bigotry etc have been from white people, it happened just two days ago .

I can't stand Lebanese white worshipping wannabes.
The Palestinians developed deep psychological and behaviour problems due to the trauma of occupation.
They are famous for being 2 faced and downright evil bastards. Never trust a Palestinian, even the most angelic seeming one.

Egyptians are kool they have big mouths and love to push the envelope. They are not too bad from my experience.
There are some subjects you shouldn't mess with around Egyptians and that's their army.
When I explained to a couple of Egyptians that they clearly lost the October war the people next to us in the Cafe and others across the room got into a heated debate and I nearly was lynched.

Damn I should have kept my mouth shut in a Cafe that was 90% Egyptian.

Lebanese are annoying as hell. They even name their kids "Susan" and "Louis" lol.

They can't say shit to me because I know these people quite well. If they open their mouths, tell them that they come from the brothel of the middle East.

[gurey25]

To be fair Susan is a Lebanese name not Western
It's a north Semitic name along with many others like Linda etc.
It entered Western countries through Judaism and Christianity.

Look at those tribal UAE bedouins from the army. Half of them look like us anwyay. Most pure tribal bedouin Arabs have a large portion that look very horner in many respects.

The confusion about Arabs come from Arabised levantines who were basically children of concubines and Caucasus peoples. Northern Africans are a mixture of Berbers and ancient European tribes as well as European slaves brought to the area during the Moorish rule over Europe. So the irony is when one of these Arabised people calls you an Abd he does not realise that a Somali is 100 times closer to a real Arab then he can ever dream to be. It is usually because we do not speak Arabic, are dark skinned and live in Africa.

But even our language is related to Arabic. There was a time when large portions of Arabia was inhabited by Cushites. This is why many ancient southern Semitic languages today have a Cushitic substratum.

These Lebanese coons don't know that sxb.

Wait do Somalians really believe that african americans are bantu?? LOL

Some do. But the West African ancestors of the AAs are linguistically and genetically related to Bantus. Bantus split off from them and migrated eastwards. They are not indigenous to East Africa.

[Adal99]

American Somalis are so retarded.

It's always them that advocate for black unity and other ridiculous notions. You never find such attitudes among European Somalis for whatever reason. Even though Europe is much whiter than America.

Somalis are bullied by cadans because they are black but when somalis say they are black the african americans tell them they are not black but somalian pirates so somalis are confused and suffer from identity crises. That is why most adopt the black culture to fit in it.

Im a half somali half Ethiopian girl, and i lived with ,my ethiopian side for most of my life so I dont know if this is a common experience amongst Somalis, but one thing I notice is that African americans will only call you black if his interested in your women. Ive seen African americans call somalis and Ethiopians, especially those with silky hair, pirates and they wont treat you as black but when they see a beautiful cushitic woman, suddenly they are pan Africa pro black maclom X wannabees. Its always been about the women, trust me, I get hit on by African American men and they constantly tell me they dont see us as related to blacks, especially habesha women.

African americans are not the descendants of bantus, bantus split from west africans 3000-4000 years ago. And yes, they are related but being related is not the same as being the same group.

[X.Playa]

I was never called cabd by any Arab, zool or sudani yes.

The Arab shaam in Saudi are always harassed like girl, gulf Arabs squeezed their butts, we use to laugh at their femininity.

True. I only stated that they were all related. Are you African American?
