I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
I just found out last night.
A man from certain clan sent delegation on his behalf to be betrothed to my cousin (she grew up in our household and is like a sister to me.) The elders had afur at our place and I was a member of the service crew, running to and fro carrying sambusa filled/empty plates, I could hear the proposals, I could also hear a little lie hear and there in praise of the alleged groom. My cousin and the dude love each other and it was her consent that initiated the elder's summoning our gathering. At first, I was genuinely happy for her, then something somewhere in my brain clicked (by just realizing his clan) and I almost blurted out "I object" but restrained myself.
Now, The reason I am against this engagement has nothing to do with the dude personally, it's his clan that I just can't stand mixing with mine (and that goes for all Somali clans). Don't get me wrong here, I think every Somali clan--or every nationality for that matter --have it's pros and cons just like mine, and I am not in any shape or form suggesting that my clan is better than any other clan, it's just I like every clan to stick on it's own and we all get along very well.
Now, I voiced my concern about this union that may take place (or not if my plan works) and it seems that it brought out a part of me that I had no idea it existed!!!
My conclusion is, every human being is a racist/clanist to and extent, but there are bad racists and good racists, I side with the good ones. You know, not putting down other clans but still no desire of mixing with them and acknowledging their praiseworthy traits and peculiarities.
Just wanted to let that out.................................Ramadan Kareem

Re: I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
The only clan you dont like is MJ i think he hails from that clan
Re: I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
Somalis are funny
We had a Anfur gathering and My uncle who is marrying a MJ says with a smile.
"This is a good Investment, Waxa sanaadkaan loo soocda Ragga Ariga iyo Geelka leeh, Ragga Oilka leeh iyo Isbaarada baada"
WTF I cracked up.

Re: I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
Why don't you tell us your clan so we can judge for ourselves whether you are worthy of mixing or not and since you clearly just admitted you are a tribalist, no more excuses. Last time I knew you were a baajuun and baajuuns should typically humble unless you are trying to seem like you are from a bigger clan...

Re: I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
10000% disagree with your suggestion. Racisim and calmism is a direct reflection of nuture not nature. You grew up in a state of racisim and clanism all your life and now you're actually suprised that you conjured up some feeling towards a clan you dont like?
I think that you were always against inter-mixing and you somehow let it go below the radar. Your clanist and racist to your own people....you should be ashamed and instead of saying that what u think is wrong. You bestwo it to masses and say that EVERYONE is like you. Dude take responsability for your ignorance in this part and dont blame it on humanity. Its just you.

It is indeed nurture and not nature. A human can become gorilla like if raised by gorillas.
He was always like that unless he is trying to seem like a big clan to us.

First Abdiwahab and now Luggoyo?
It was just a while ago when Abdiwahab had a similar topic about his beautiful cousin marrying an MJ man and how he thought it was such a waste.

Re: I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
Nope, he ain't MJ, Daarood but not MJ. You guys are suffering from Sir-Luggoyo/AW cuqdad, war no one cares about what goes here in real life. My best friends are MJs, believe it or not.
Voltage,
I am trying to pass as a major clan huh?!!
Waryaa, for all you know in this cyberworld, I could be your Ilko yar cuz, marka iga xishoo waryaa.
Basra,
I love when you are immersed in the qabiil quagmire and and get stuck with no way out
Sir-Luggoyo could be nin Muuse Caare ah
You all missed my point here, I am not segregating clans, I am an equal opportunity non-mixer........and I don't despise or belittle any clan.........what does that make me?

Re: I think we are all racists/clanist to an extent
The Clan of tigree lovers is forbidden within US.
Thanks noone has married from the Galoo lovers (traitors).
any other clan ie: madhibaan are welcome.
the concensus is absolute!!!
No Tigree lovers untill the end of time!!!
We cannot even pray with them!!!!!!!!!!!

Typical Daaroodism from you. It was instilled into you..
I can safely say that the man's clan was Hawiye.
BTW, I thought your absence from here had to do more with Ramadan.. ileen aroos baad ku jirteen.

A Person who is freinds with Mjs and doesnt want mixing with daroods must be a southerner most likely hawiye, and the tribe in question must be Ogadeen or Marexaan.

Sir Lug@lol
U devil. U like seeing me all unwise and helpless ma ha? I must concede the uncertainty of your qabil does put me in that qabil identity quagmire. Sir Lug-- u r forgiven for your devilness for using this new word in my vocabulary now- i love this word- quagmire. It makes u sexy.
But thats besides the POINT!!!
Sir Lug-- one point though.....
How can u come of 'reasonable' if u contradict yourself?
How can u post..
"it's his clan that I just can't stand mixing with mine. it's just I like every clan to stick on it's own and we all get along very well."
and then u come running posting this....
"You all missed my point here, I am not segregating clans, I am an equal opportunity non-mixer........"
By this above minute example --u r automatically a Segregationist!
Its like a White person saying-- I am not a racist. I have a black Acquaintance ....NOT a friend mind u' --just an Acquaintance ' .
Sir Lug? What gives?
