Uncommon Ground: Somali Immigrants and African-Americans

but im a somali american, i was born and bred here on US soil, not Somalia

and our country seems to be in the endless loophole for a lot longer, so we may as well make the best of things here in our new homes, the West

But you aren't pure or true American. If you go to Ethiopia and Melez throws you in Guantanamo-like prison, your government will not help you.

I'd just work for the CIA plus...

I'm a natural born citizen.

American is not equal to being cadaan and gaal

Only pure Americans left are the native indian tribes

When an American is missing, its bloated all over the news, so I'm straight.

You guys have to get it through your heads that you won't ever live in Somalia again till your old and gray (if you live that long)

Integrate yourselves or go to a Muslim country, make sure you're descendants are Muslim have a sense of identity and thats it.

As a Somali, no such a thing called (somalian), In any event, I can tell you that somalis are the most ignorant people I have ever met and associated with. I cant stand them!!!!!!!!!! They are racist, triblist, nationalistic, Arrogant, and most of all RUDE. They steal money from the governments, lie about their refugee status, and pretty much lie about everything else. This is their nature. There are however few who fear Allah, and they r the minority.From Canada to Uk and the rest of Europe, these people cause nothing but havoic. I have never met anyone more lazy than somali man. A true somali man will tell u this. In canada the somali man between 30-55 sits in a coffee shop doing nothing. But what is ironic is that Somalis and African Americans are put together in the same place. How horrid! I would never live in such a place. I wish we could take lessons from the Asians, these people are wise and care much about their future. Lost have lost themselves in their home country and they are even further astray in diaspora. But my loyalty remains with them, because they say the Shahada, for that bonds us together more then blood lines. If they were disbelievers i would say they would be more like savages.

another self hating somali trying to appease ajanabis, and yes it is a woman as usualy. wallahi i have never ever seen a somali guy talk shit about his people infront of ajanabis

Even though the writer admitted to some biased I thought she was pretty fair in her article. She showed how the distrust and anger is coming from both sides.

The best way for somalis and other black americans to get along is to simply respect each others space and cultures.
