^^^ Somalis don't discriminate against blacks to fit in with whites. Somalis discriminate against everyone.

Saaxib, there was a somali girl in the US city I live in, who said she wanted to marry a black convert who had graduated from university in Saudi Arabia. Her parents refused catagorically. A year later she was married to a recently converted white highschool dropout, her parents smiling and welcoming the attendants.

I was at the wedding by the way :lol:

There is a system, a hierarchy, in place in the U.S. Naturally some people must be at the bottom for a hierarchy to exist, those people are called Black Americans. Everyone of an ethnicity that is not Black, is encouraged to feel superior. All other ethnicities discriminate against Blacks in the hopes that they will eventually be permitted to enter this power paradigm. Similar to the Italians, the Irish (actually used to intermarry with blacks), the Jews who started to emulate whites and discriminate against blacks and were subsequently admitted into white society. It has become a gatepass in the U.S to discriminate against blacks, "you too look down upon blacks? reply: Yes!! Welcome to white society!!" New immigrants see everyone discriminating against blacks, so they start doing so too. Blacks can never escape this vicious cycle.
Walahi even Somalis discriminate against blacks, if only you heard what my hoyo calls them. It is very sad :cry:
I don't think you have it quite right. Irish/Italians/East Europeans/Jews were only accepted into white society in the 20th century, not by discriminating against blacks, but to pit them against blacks and keep the status quo for the majority protestant ango-saxon/german white.

LiquidHyrogen,

You are lusting after me again huh? Wipe my jizz stain from your mouth walaal.

Perfect Order,

You are a coward. Now you pipe up when you feel that you're got backup from your faggot lover LiquidHydrogen? When it was just me and you, you were cowering behind your keyboard trembling with fear. I had more respect for you when you were afraid of me. Now you're just going along with with what others say.
well that escalated quickly. LOOOL
