FAH, this has nothing to do with my location or any particular location, and by the way, I am where I am because its the only school that accepted my application early.
This is not White-phobia in any way, I've been around Whiteys my entire life and I'd probably feel the same way if I was in rural Japan or Russia, its human condition. And the answer isn't simply going back to Somali though that is my goal at the end of my struggle here.
Gurey25 hit the nail on the head - its about alienation. Some of you disagree with my sentiments because you've been close to home (Somali community) all your lives and never truly experienced life outside of Somalia - just shut the f-ck up unless you've lived the true American life in the shoes of an extreme minority, away from the comforts of your bullet-ridden Somali ghettos like Dixon and Cedar-Riverside.
Man, I'd give up money, education, and Facebook to be comfortable. You guys simply don't know what its like to be here. I can only tolerate so much redneck garbage. I've tried to embrace it and I've tried to live it, but these sister-fockers are living in a time machine and they certainly don't live in the period that I'm living in. My biggest mistake was telling them I was easy-going, so they all like ranting to me about race and politics, as if I'd respect or agree with right-wing fanatics...imagine living around 100,000 Bill O'Reillys and hearing their shit every day!
One day, you'll all work or study far away from the comforts of your little ghettos and away from your weekly community gatherings and you will all fully accept that you are NOT home. I feel bad now because a Black friend I had last semester constantly ranted about race but I ignored him. I feel awful ignoring his warnings.
LASTLY! Somalia wasn't a f-cking shit hole. We had schools and we had a country with PAVED ROADS! We had it all. Don't sell Somalia short because you are too dumb to understand what it was.
