Somalis are predominantly negroid, its shameful when you are 60-70% Negroid and you have invented some Arab guy as descendant.

That term is offensive and out-dated. I'm sure a white person wouldn't like to be referred to as an Albinoid.

Its somewhat outdated but still used by some modern anthropologists. Also, the word Albinoid wouldnt be the equivalent, but the racial classifications Caucasian and Mongoloid - whom have been identified along with negroids as the three great races.
But in this case Nilo Saharan would be a much better word to use.

i've always wondered about that...somali people generally don't look arab (atleast the guys don't) yet everyone seems to think they are arab. how do you come from an arab man and look nothing like him? i don't get it. and why in the fuck would you even want to claim them.

KTS, what is your beef with Arabs? .. I'm just wondering

i dislike anyone who isn't black....but i grew up with certain arabs that, among other things, were very racist. Ever since then i was not a fan. and they didn't exactly hate on somalis...but they would say the most disrespectful shit about other blacks (they'd say that they are ugly or very dark or unattractive, etc.), and when i would take offence, they would say "your not black" or "your not like them"
......that pissed me the fuck off. arabs and whites been f-king with and enslaving blacks forever, and just because those blacks are from a different part of the continent..doesn't mean I'm indifferent to their suffering...end of the day I'm african...and only care about other africans (not those white and arab imposters/invaders living in north and south africa).

Thanks for the response

Lol, you must be really young. Bless you, I'm certain you will mature out of this sentiment. ..

some people's ignorance and stupidity can be an amazing thing. Africa does not necessarily mean blackness, nearly a third of Africa's population dont consider them selves black.

South Africa is a multi racial country and whites and one of the groups living there.

Actually it would, seeing as negroid refers to colour whereas caucasoid and mongoloid refer to geographic location or ethnicity. A better term would be Africanoid or Saharanoid. But even that would be innacurate because it is assuming Africans have a similar origin and genetic make-up when that's simply not true. Somalis, for instance have roughly 50%-60% of the their DNA from ancient nilotic people and the remaining DNA is north African. That is completely different from a Kenyan who is himself completely different from a Namibian.

I come from a clan that apparently has an Arab Sufi sheikh ancestor and I never beg like you self haters do. I haven't done DNA tests like everyone here and see whether I am J1. People only did that thing to confirm their Arab origins that they prize so much. No self respecting Somali would do that. And you people call me the self hater? Look in the mirror. I am the only one with any dignity here.

Just because I like democracy and that I am anti FGM and that I am anti slavery and approve of gay marriage and all these things doesn't mean I hate myself.


I am,

You always seem like you've got something to prove, calm down its just the internet.

i didn't paint all africans under same brush and called them black tho....you and every idiot knows every white person in africa is the result of colonization and came around the time of slavery..there were people living there..they had their own history and culture..and then whites came and "columbus'd" it and took over. so many people went through hell in their own country and experienced every type racism there is...idk man..if that happened in somalia, you wouldn't be talking about it the same way.

not really...i know that most arabs who grew up in western countries don't really think that way....but I'm pretty sure most arabs who come from the middle east do...and you can't deny that fact.

I wasnt actually addressing you but everyone who saw this as negative, that young lady who won the beauty contest forgetting the whole miss thing is useless.

So you are telling us North African in are in Africa because of colonization? Africa is a landmass like America and Asia and everyone came there, the blacks in South Africa might came before the Dutch and English but they also came there.

oh i thought you were..lol sorry

both north and south africa had natives and they weren't white or arab....there might have been certain arabish looking people ...like the berbers..or some other black arabs...but all these blue eyed blond haired folk came later. but whatever i hope to god somalia doesn't turn into that...im okay with the bantu or arab somalis living there...infact i consider them as no different then me...but if white people show up and try to take over......its over.
