idk if i understood that correctly but did you equate being dark or black with being dumb?

Yes darling, folks back in the old age used to say that. Habeen iyo doqon baa madow.

oh okay some of those words i hadn't heard before but you shouldn't talk badly about the darker somalis, it isn't nice, but also the darker you are the better you look usually, unless your american...cuz there super duper racist. but if you were just reiterating a quote then just ignore everything i just said lol

I prefer girls with a darker complexion....light skin girls sometimes have a false sense of pride.

I was just talking to my brother about that. ^ He said the same thing. The 'Diana Somalis' of Hargeisa are insanely cocky.

What, are you expecting women to have low self-esteem? I have met very prideful darker sisters. Nothing wrong with pride but you're right, in excess it is very off-putting.

But either way, it means ill-meaning men can't take advantage. ^__^

False sense of pride? - Ok then.

What a way to typecast.

Face palm

Sophi: Apparently having standards is false sense of pride. Count on faraxs to find every excuse in the book to demean women.

P.s

I am not saying dark skinned chicks don't have standards. Do not release the hounds on me..

LOL this thread was to empower women and y'all done turned on each either.....

smh

Nah, he just means he agrees with the nonsense that most people believe...that our lightskinned sisters assume to be smarter/prettier/an overall better catch. I use to think it was nonsense, but I've seen many people who do behave like that.


"Aww you're so beautiful and caad." "Wow uff look how dark" she is. etc etc. I feel like charging a spirit bomb when I hear that stuff.

yea i hear that a lot too. and its usually the ones that bleach that throw shade at the dark sisters like....and everytime i see a somali lady at a wedding her face is as white as a ghost with powder but the rest of the body is dark as fuck.....like who u trying to fool woman?

but i also noticed that the younger kids embrace themselves more..and actually refer to themselves as black rather than..im arab or half yemani lol

anyways lets throw some shade at the faraxs for a change...i personally don't care about their light or darkness...but if there forehead is too big, or their teeth too fucked up...or lips too dark (meaning they smoke), or are too skinny, its a no thank you for me.

Although I have heard about a preference for lighter skin (in recent decades), never have I heard it had any relation to intelligence by Somalis. In fact, I have heard of the reverse stereotype.

Knowthyself: Nobody was throwing shade at Dark skinned sistas, all I did was quote an old Somali saying.

LOOOL i never singled you out tho. i was talking in general...

Let us all agree that:

ALL women light and dark (and every shade in between) have their intelligent sisters and their...less capable sisters (and every IQ in between.)

I can't handle seeing men with a jigglier butt than mine.

No sirrey Bob.

I feel uncomfortable when men know too much about menstrual cycles and our going-ons down there.... One guy started explaining things that I thought was only within the Sisterhood....
