Having worked with and be around white people and somalis at the same time--- i noticed one GLARING difference between us and them. White people tend to be self accountable, self reponsible,community responsibility accountability, self moralistic. As opposed to somalis who tend to be individualistic, lack of self responsibility, self accountability and general moralistic as opposed to self moralistic. (the art of following religion moral by word and claim rather than action and practice) The real white man is a republican. Republican farvor personal accountability- moralistic- hard worker- capitalistic. Somalis favor --freebies, selfish endeavor--what can i gain from this? Take for example--A White man walking in the street--eating a banana--upon finishing his banana he looks around and sees no trash can--a white man will hold the banana peel until he reaches home or see a dumpster- and discards it.A somali man will look left and right to see if anyone is looking, and throw it on the ground. The white mans mentality is: Its not right to just throw it- someone can slip over it. The Somali man rationality is: its not my problem, i am not a municipal shaqaalo.One takes responsibility and the other wants to be baby-ied or policed. One is an adult the other is a forever juvenile.
And so this individualistic---or mass somali tolerating of lack of individual responsibility has caused somalis to be in this state of hopelessness. IF only every Somali would rise up and start with their community--just like in the Quran emphasizes in regards to charity--Somalis will never go any where. The only way Somalia will change or have peace- Somalis need to go under revolutionary consciousness--Each and every Somali has to personally develop a consciousness, a personal responsibility believe in- ASK not for what SOMALIA will do for you, what will you do for Somalia?
