i have a couple more questions..
1) as a non somali...what are you views on africans being labeled as black....and do you call yourself black?
As many have stated here.I feel the term is to inclusive.I'm not distancing myself from blacks because I hate them or feel they're beneath me.I do so because I have a Diin/culture/nation/language intact that I wouldn't trade for anything.
Labeling myself a color spits in the face of my ancestors.Diasporan Blacks embrace it because they have nothing else,being BLACK is the ONLY thing they've ever known.Cool story for them,but no thank you I'll pass.
Labels I dislike them.If asked to identify I am Muslim,Sudani,Darfuri
That is all.
2) what led you to this site?
I grew up in Portland, Maine.Moved to Florida in my late teens.
You wouldn't think,but theirs alot of Africans in Maine.My childhood bros were mostly all Somali,I miss those dudes

.Self explanatory.
3) where you from?
Refer to 2.
4) is salih your actual name?
Yea,Salih is my real name.Well...surname.
Signed Salih....
