well i don't agree with that, arabs don't say i'm white or brown they just say i'm arab. we shouldn't label ourselves black based on our skin colour, which we have many like i said, but on our culture which is very different than "black" culture.Mckuus wrote:Black is not literal just like white isn't, most white people are actually pink or beige and most black people are brown. Anyone who's skin is darker than peanut butter is considered black.Colonel wrote: that's a ridiculous statement, like I said earlier Somalis come in many colours such as black, brown, light brown and so on therefore how can you put the black label on the whole population when our skin complexion is so diverse?
in my opinion for a country to be called black a large majority of the population must actually have black skin colour i.e. Ghana. that clearly isn't the case for Somalia.
this phenomenon of labeling ourselves black has started with the generation which grew up in the west, i dare anyone to ask their parents if they are black and the answer will most likely be a slap across your face.
