....biko u crack me up.....side burns n whiskas kulaah....

>>>i just had a flash back of some gurls who live in my area that suffer from jus dat.....they call it xaad......i call it excess hair Laughing

>>>Achilles.......i see wat ur sayin....but think dat it's more of a cultrual paradox that we're stuck in, it's not so much self hate as it is the "trend" to be light-skinned.....i think it's got a lot to do with somalis thinkin they're r not like other African n so those (specially gurls) who r born with dark skin are made to feel inferior.....later resortin to skin discolouration to "corrrect" their defect

>>>am not sayin ti's right.....jus offerin a less judgmental opion of why this is the norm for somali women nowadays

there use to be this girl i use to fancy and this other xalimo some how found out. one day she just approached me and calmly asked me to take a good look at at the girl in question's hand.

to cut a short story short, the last thing i remember about that girl is her black knuckles.

The ironic thing is.. Many Somalis will speak all kinds of bad things about white women.. 'they're fat'- 'they're cheap' - 'they can't cook' (these are things I heard at weddings) ... And yet the same people that are saying it are the ones who use their welfare cash to buy skin whitening products eg Diana ... Ironic iyo nus
