razzberry what an interesting insight, i must admit that u do have a point there, then lets agree that its society that shapes our thinking, and in somali society we are taught that we are better than others especially negroes, thats our culture.[/quote]


You make Somalis make it clear exactly what you think of other blacks and that’s no fib Given the state of Somalia and Somalis in general I truly feel Somalis need to do a bit of rethinking about themselves and there standards cause whether you guys like it or not you are all in just as bad of state if not worse off than many of the negroes you oh so despise.

Beauty standards change and differ from society to society. The experiment was focused on natural, fresh, and raw beauty though.

And Thanx galia for the mature discussion. I am much more likely to understand another’s point of view when things don't get nasty [/quote]

razzberry there's an old saying, "we somalis might be the poorest in the world yet we are the proudest"

In our history no man has ever tammed or enslaved the somali people's, the arabs enslaved the other's like the ethiopians and the adoons in the south but they never touch us somalis, that explains alot abt the somali people.

Galia. There is an old joke around here about Mexicans. It goes:

One day a boy came upon a shore and noticed a man with two buckets of lobsters.
One bucket was labeled “White” lobsters and had a lid sealed firmly upon it. The other was labeled “Mexican” with no lid.

The boy asked the man.
“Why do you have a lid on the white lobster bucket but not the Mexican one?”

The man replied
“Well son. If I take the lid of the white lobsters they will all crawl away.”
I don’t have to worry about these here Mexican lobsters though. The will all hold each other back so that none of them can escape”

Now please take out Mexican and replace it with Somali and you will see why I think the way I do about certain Somali ways. I have nothing against you and you can believe what you want however I feel you guys really need to take a long look at yourselves before you begin to look down on others.

Its mind boggling how ignorant some ppl here are. Walaahi it makes one wonder how any of u got to this point where u look down on others just like u and refer to them as adoons to degrade them. I really hate to break it to u guys but in the eyes of the white man, ur all adoons. Take a look at what that irate cop said to the Somali taxi driver on AW’s thread if u don’t believe me.

The only thing u should be proud of and thank Allah for is the fact that ur mulsim. Even tho u don’t behave as muslims by looking down on others, completely opposite to what Islam teaches.

razz are you Africn American decent if you don't mind me asking?

razzberry hve u met any somalis in ur day to day life?

What do u think abt somalis if u hve met them?

razz,

I believe it is the same link page where Gabrielle Union's photo is from.

Algebra.

If I want to get technical I am of African American, Seminole Indian, and Scotch-Irish decent. I prefer to be called just black.

Galia.

To be honest the only Somalis I know are my roomie and a few of her Somali friends she has introduced me too. What they told me combined with what I read here and on news sites is how I came to my conclusion about Somali people. I have no animosity against any of you and I try to be as open minded as possible whenever I read anything concerning Somali people.

Jr*

I will give you the links in a minute here.

I believe this is what you are asking about.

Razz thank you for the repy. That's cool.

razzberry note that we somalis hold no real hate towards anyone especially bantu africans.

We somalis do not consider bantus as our brothers or as true friends beacuse they do not hold the same values as us nor do they resemble us.

These "bantu" africans can be very evil indeed, look what they did to the Tutsi's who we somali's regard as in some ways kinda similar to us.

They killed one million Tutsi's all beacuse they were jealous of the tutsi's beacuse the tutsi's look better than the Hutu's.

Your an AA, u cannot understand how africa works, just cos we all hve the same skin colour does not make us the same.

Algebra

Its all good

jr

Forget abt me being racist, my family are extreme clanist, i lost my father and couple of my uncle's in the clan battles in somalia.

Am the type that lost members of he's family in dis shiit, my father only killed to defend as well as my uncle's so they hve nothing to fear.

Galia you are hardcore easy with the hate cause it will consume you to !

Interesting. Going by what I’ve read resent studies show that their really is no genetic difference between Tutsi and Hutu. In fact after research was done historians found that when this area of Africa was colonized, the Europeans based who was Tutsi and who was not based on height and nose length. When a so called Tutsi gave birth to a child and it came out with a blunt nose it was labeled Hutu even though it had two Tutsi parents.

It’s called divide and conquer my friend. Rile up the Africans about trivial things and pit them against each other. These Europeans knew it would be only a matter of time before “All those darkies will start killing each other off”

Look at many of the atrocities committed by Europeans, Asians, as well as Africans in resent history. “African Bantus” do not carry inhumane torch alone. Just look at what Somalis did and still do to their own people.

You are right. I am a black American so I can’t say I know everything about Africans and their experiences I am however BLACK and I do understand you a lot more than you think I do.
