Being WHITE is not the litimus test for being American. The White people immigrated here and stole the land from the Native American tribes.

haye haaye baal u are american

haku macaanatoo

FAH she won't understand since she lives in Europe and there are actually ethnic Swedes who consider others to be outsiders, unlike America no one is ethnically American except the natives.

White American + African Americans .. people who lived there at least 200 years iyo Native American (Indianoo) are the only true american in my eyes

Exactly. Everyone came here from Europe, Africa and in recent decades from Asia and South America.

Qoraxey, 200 years is nothing in history. The Native Americans were here for thousands of years! Now they are only a couple million left. African and European origin Americans aren't true to this land at all!

BTW... Somalis need to quit faking! I know at least half ya'll are gonna be eating Turkey with some hilib ari and pumpkin pie tonight (those in the states)!

So what do you lot do to celebrate Thanksgiving? Do you do the whole turkey and presents thing? I find it distasteful to celebrate the evil acts of your nation's forefathers.

It's better to just celebrate Christmas instead. I love Christmas lights and the carol singers....walking down the high street in this time of year is just awesome.

So true ,

eyes only--too bad u r in the UK. We would have been best gal friend if u lived in the states. I also adore Xmas--not for religious reasons, but its a traditional good feel times. The Xmas decorative tree, the lively malls, the department store sales? Lovely! lovely!

^ Just reminded me of the sales...wow...horta why does everything scream 'buy me buy me' during this time of year.

All people do is have Turkey and most people have today and tomorrow off... along with the weekend... so its a 4 day weekend. I never heard of people exchanging gifts on Thanksgiving, its just an excuse to pack on two days worth of calories into one meal

I guess for Somalis it's any excuse to eat more meat right? In that case I'll join the festivities since we have an American calendar

happy thanksgiving.........to my fellow AMERICANS.........

Integration of Somalis in some parts of the west is working i see.

All I know is I get holiday pay

I don't like turkey, its nasty and mostly dry. Chicken

I had turkey with gravy last christmas. It was good.

On a different note.

Did you guys go trick or treating when you were younger?

For Us Islamocentricafricanistnamimibians- brotherhood- this day is a day of mourning and rememberance of the struggle of our lost SOmali cousins the red indians, mosty notably the mahiqan and the tekumsah. Shame on fah
