So does Somalia belong in "African" crowd or the "Muslim"

[greenday]

Africans dont have much to give, they live on aid and we cant hate them for that.

The Somalis who comment on Arab bigotry towards Africans have no room to talk. Somalis are one of the biggest racists in this part of the world. Our attitude and treatment towards the Somali Bantus is disgraceful. Our attitude and comments towards other Africans is embarrassing. I can guarantee you if Somaliya was nabad, Bantu immigrants will receive more racism than any Somali will ever receive in Carabta. This is an undeniable fact.

The same cats in this thread cheering on Pan africanism, are the most racist and offensive to our African neighbours. You will often see them using Jareer, Bantu and Nappy hair as an insult. Yet they are in here claiming that they are pro-African, and hating on Arabs due their racist attitude towards blacks

Do you guys ever make a distinction between African and North African? FYI, Arabia is on the African plate.

The Semites and Kushites are related. If we learned anything from the genetic studies it is that the herding peoples from the Sahara mixed with folks from the Mediterranean area and Southwest Asia. They derive from a separate mutation from the Bantus.

Some Somalis are among the darkest people on Earth, but in my opinion, they are not black. They are marin. Some with a sunburn.

you can say that again..

i am one of those super dark somalis, when i was in nigeria they still thought i was an arab or Indian not african
because of my east african features, even though i was a shade darker than allot of the nigerians.

crowd now? Ethnic Somalis are a Muslim and Black African society, but now comes the choice to make a concrete decision. Do we belong in the Black African crowd or the Muslim/Arab crowd?

We have seen Kuwait, we have seen Qatar, we have seen UAE, we have seen Saudi Arabia, we have seen Turkey, we have even seen the Palestinians.

The Palestinians donated more money to the Somali famine than half of the African continent and the Saudi public gave private donations more than what all of African donated to Somalia. Even half of what African donated came primarily from two Arab/Muslim states; Egypt and Algeria while two of the richest countries, Black Nigeria and South Africa watched from the sidelines.

In fact one little Ghanian schoolboy gave more than a third of African continent combined and only one president who is not from the drought countries even cared to show up. All this while this is the biggest humanitarian situation in the world and African Somali babies die of starvation?

Black means nothing and African means nothing. Somali identity and culture seems to have rightly aligned with Muslim Easterners.

this is what I told people longtime ago brother and I got nothing but shoes and spits thrown at me while being labeled as Arab wanna be

So what you gonna do about it?

[The_Emperior5]

What i have noticed about Somalis is that they want Arabs to be perfect Arabs are like you and me and the rest of the Human race they have their good and bad. But Somalis do not care if Bantus are perfect or not,, Bantus will always be Bantus. Now from my own personal experience i spend some of my young Years in sudan and and frequanlty visited Saudi arabia Now Saudi Arabia is different then Sudan Cultural Wise. The Sudanes People are very welcoming and very Gob Never will they disrespect you in any way,, Somalis often blame their problems on Arabs in particular the Khaleeji Arabs. But Arabs are not responsible for the problems Somalis are Somalis themselves are responsible The Arabs (Calaam Al carab) and Muslim Countries Will help Somalis. Now what i hate about Somalis i dont know if you have the same feeling but Why do you guys always want that people to help you why dont you help your selves and have some self respect. Last night in taraweex Imam was doing duca in the salaatul Watr and he said Ilahoow Somalida gaajoonaysa na wax ha siiyo now he did not mean anything by that,, but i felt offended Why not just say Ilaahow Somalida dhibaataysan na Ilaahoow u gargaar.

Regarding Meru's story about the way Somalis , Sudanese and other blacks are treated by the rebels , I dont doubt it for a moment . A lot of Lybians are just plain ignorant madafakas just like we have alot of them in Somalia too .

[Estarix]

Why arent Somalis able to identify more with the African Muslim crowd, countries with a predominantly muslim countries such as Niger, Chad, Nigeria, Mali, Gambia etc.

[SahanGalbeed]

Geography , because they are on the other side of the continent me guess .

[Estarix]

Sahan@
True, never thought of it like that, differences in geography leaves little room for interaction.

Besides, as Union said, hundreds of Black Africans have died attempting to bring stability and peace to Somalia fighting against religious radicals inspired by Arab ideology, financed with Arab money and tactically guided by Arab commanders.

Ooow please... They didn't die for no ones staibility nor peace but for paychecks..

Africans dont have much to give, they live on aid and we cant hate them for that.

That's because their leaders have it all in their Swiss bank accounts..


Anyway.. Why should one pick sides?.. I say play the whole game..
