[quote="Basra-"]We were sitting at home one day when suddenly my aunt, who came straight from hargeisa, arrived home with two police escort. We all ran outside, huged our aunt, some of us about to burst into tears, and frantically asking the police-- 'What is the matter'?? The police calmed us and explained the situation, we all gasped when we heard what had exactly happen. I started cracking up---in the midst of tears after listening to what she said.
Apparently my aunt walked into a bus with her usual 'xaraago' walk and sparkling hargeisa dhiracs, and sparkling jewelry. In the bus she encountered afro americans women started hating on her and making fun of her Catar smell. (To be fair to these ignorant jareers--the somali catar smells, but since she is my aunt, i am willing to pretend it does not smell.)So anyway, after making alot of noise and making fun of Aunt Anisa- she simply looked at them--English is a problem for her--so what she did is-- mix hand gestures with her broken English. Her hand gesture was tied together as if --saying slaves in chain...and then spoke
"Me come from Somalia with my suit cases-- u all came to america in chains., Me listening to my Ipod, u all were stinking shiir, in your slave ship- we not the same"
The entire adoon in the bus descended on her,old afro woman, young afro woman, afro men, invalid afro men, they all wanted to beat her up, the bus driver had to intervene. Thankfully, the bus driver was an arab man from egypt...he called police and she got a ride to protect her life.Since then she is absolutely not permitted to take public transport nor speak to any Afro american people.
Alaaa Somali kibiir badaana hede-- i think i have enuf kibiir but i can never articulate it or think it the way my aunt did. Bisinka!
