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.
