Where is your Homeland?

[yungnfresh]

I'm Canadian. I was shocked when I came to the realization of just how true that statement is when I went to Africa last year and to Carabta the year before (both for the first time) and realized just how foreign being immersed in a Somali culture and an Islamic culture were to me, since those have always been the essence of who I am and were always my cloak and robe.

You are completely correct. I have been to Somalia/Africa four times. One would think by each visit, you would feel more connected to them but it was the complete opposite for me. Every visit I had over there made me realize more that other than ethnicity and religion and a general language grasp, I share absolutely nothing else. You cannot basically think that you feel more at home to a place you have never lived in or a place that you left as a 1 year old. Ofcourse for the people born in the early 80s, or 70s or the older generation, but not the young folk.

I am simply a nomad, I consider home where my feet touch.

Puntland home of the brave.

They're just very good at hiding that fact, miyaa?

When you see how even a mixed raced dude will get insulted about race or told to home in a street or bus argument, then you came to conclusion that there is only one homeland for all Somalis, regardless of whether you are cockney speaking Somalis or jerry curlling, skinny pant wearing dutch/scandanavian SOmali.

Gör det då och blondera ditt hår också och gift dig med en liten blondin som ger dig barn med blåa ögon.Och när du blir gammal och de slänger dig på ett ålderdomshem och du ligger hela dagarna i din egen shit kom ihåg då mina ord.

Jag håller fullständigt med dig. Jag må vara född och uppväxt här i Sverige men jag varken känner eller anser mig som "svensk". Jag kan inte reletera till de helt enkelt, vi varken delar historia, kultur eller religion med varandra. Fasen, de ville inte ens ha mig här. Så nej, aldrig i livet att jag klämmer mig som svensk.
Men å andra sidan, självklart är jag oerhört tacksam för vad de har gjort för mig, och kommer aldrig glömma det.

Så sant! vi har inget gemensamt med dom och vi kommer alltid att bli betraktade som invandrare.Svenska folket har alltid varit rädda för det okända och kan inte utvidga sina sinnen.
De är varken öppna att lära känna nya kulturer eller acceptera andra som dom är.Har bott här sen oktober 92 och det enda jag kan säga om sverige are att det är ett vackert land med massor of möjligheter när det gäller utbildning.Och om jag flyttar kväll det enda jag kommer att sakna är osten.

Jag har upplevt mycket här och kommit långt men jag kommer aldrig att bli Svensk.

I feel like I have to call Xamar my homeland...but home is where the heart it and right now, my heart is in gloomy London

you know that saying does not mean where the heart is currently.

It means home is where you love the most.

obviously!....I mean, what made you think I didn't mean where I love most at the moment? Maybe I should have put instead of

Face palm moment. If that's how you feel then it must be something to do with your self esteem.
