Wallahi they really don't get it. I'm pro-diversity. I'm pro-social cohesion. I actually wish nothing but the best for the Bantus, but that doesn't mean that I want my own people to be wiped out. It's very hard for some people to understand this.Sophisticate wrote:
Kaafiye, I believe you see all people as equal, much like myself. This thread is ridiculous. I assumed it was perfectly caadi to have affinity for one's people and to differentiate one's self from others. The reason Africa has lost some of its diversity in looks is due to co-mingling, whereas Somalis have largely not. Pygmies in Congo and Khosian in South Africa are on the brink of extinction. Even the Maasai have historically absorbed Cushitic males. Just because Somalia isn't doing well at present doesn't mean they want to look worse than the Diktore's mugshots in 50 years. These folks don't get it.
Most people hear my words and then scream "RACIST!" without even looking at the substance of my arguments. I've repeatedly argued against anyone who belittles Jareers, I've argued against people who falsely believed that they are of limited intelligence/ability (viewtopic.php?f=18&t=367230&start=30). And I've even advocated that Somalia creates and maintains good relations with our African neighbors.
But to these close-minded people on this forum, I'm apparently some "racist" because I favor a Somali homeland and preserving our ethnicity/culture. The Jews, Arabs, Bantus, Chinese, Armenians, Koreans and everyone else has their own homelands where they comprise over 90% of the population. But suddenly I'm some sort of "racist" because I want to look out for Somali interests and that I put Somalis first.
Not Arabs. Not Jareers. Not Whites. But I put Somalis first.
Apparently that's a bit too "radical" for some of these self-hating Somalis.





Why has it become ok to degrade other Somalis that have more in common with you but to find it sacrilegious to discuss a subject like the reconstitution of Somali borders and potential demographic shifts in the next 50 years. We're seen as paranoid, when we're really Nostradamus-like. I read a poignant article that discussed this very subject about mass migration from Ethiopia-to-Somalia and Kenya-to-Somalia in the foreseeable future (given the fact that Somalia is sparsely populated), and how borders of nation states are becoming even more porous. I remember the author suggesting some propaganda about how this would contribute to an intellectual renaissances and economic revival, what hogwash. Ethiopia is poor and doesn't care for its people. Kenya is corrupt and dictated by foreigners. And Somalia at present is both, I don't see an expanding of intellectual horizons at all coming from this, more like a stunting. We have puppet politicians with no vision, ducking for cover from some ragtag band of self-detonators, while AMISOM have a nice meal, good salary and a place to sleep on the public purse (meanwhile remaining rather safe as poorly compensated Somalis die on the front lines in the fight against Alshabab). All I see is trouble if beesha Meles and beesha Kenyatti overtake the habars, d-block, h-block and dir. They have greater military power and cohesion, hence we could witness a hotel Rwanda of immense proportions, if they have their way. Kenya is less than smart, I assume Ethiopia would probably be a mastermind of such an operation, pulling strings in the background.


Okay, Nostradamus.
