WESTERNISED MIDGAAN
To be a Midgan-Madibhan, or an outcaste person, in Somali society is to suffer life-long indignities, to be deemed impure, unlucky, sinful, polluting, and thus meriting the disdain, avoidance, and abuse of others. Even small children shout insults at both child and adult Midgans. Many Midgans have been denied food, medical treatment, and protection just because of their outcaste status by many other Somalis. The only other groups in Somali treated similarly are the Jareer and Bantu descendants of slaves brought from East Africa over a century ago.
Midgans have been beaten brutally, wounded, kidnapped, and forced into slave and unpaid labor just because of their outcaste status. They have no weapons, allies or lands that they control and can escape to. Most Midgan are attached to “noble†dominant clans as their clients, serfs, or virtual slaves. Should they complain or seek to organize, they face severe reprisals from those “noble†clans dominating them. This is another ongoing case of global caste in the 21st century.
Background
Caste has been an integral part of Somali society for centuries. It persisted throughout the twentieth century and continues today in the 21st century.
This society is divided into patrilineal segmented and ranked clan groups. Those groups are based upon relation to a male progenitor and traditional occupations. As in all caste societies, the elite clans are classified as noble and “pure,†while those at the other end of the ranking are considered outcaste and impure, or “polluted.†Generally speaking, most of the noble clans’ occupations have been herding and trade, while the outcaste clans have engaged in small farming, usually on the land of the other clans, as well as in service or scavenger occupations.
The outcaste clans do not descend from the Arabic-origin ancestors of the noble clans. Some scholars report that the outcaste groups may have descended from the conquered indigenous groups occupying the region prior to its conquest by the Somali tribes. Most Somali elders indicate that the polluted status of these despised groups is due to their ancestors breaking of food taboos without cause or an immediate ritual cleansing. If the latter is the case, this would be another instance of blaming the outcaste victims and their ancestors for their debased, pariah status.

Westernised midgaan there's nothing metaphysically deep, about getting juked, Pissing in your pants and vomiting blood on the block, Witness Protection, trying to stay alive on a humble, Bidas will hunt you down like Dinosaurs Alive in the Jungle.
And don't mumble when you trying to disrespect my bars,I throw a Chinese Nigga at you affected with SARS, Get back on the banana boat cos bidas murder you for free, Give the Midgaan a green card and get you chopped up for free. But you Ain’t even worth getting your body buried. If you were locked up, you'll be lap dancing for Commissary {seeing as ur a dumb midgaan this means "The jail store for inmates, which provides food and hygiene items, correspondence material, tennis shoes, reading glasses, phone cards and over-the-counter medication."}
Cut the Commentary, mother **** nobodies cares, You try to go to thugs mansion, but nobodies there, Cos the Judgment day for you is a empty place And Ima send you first class with a hole in your face
