i hate nothing more than somalis---

[barakaboy10]

who 'wanna-be" or "wanna-act-like westerners and in doing so belittle or see their culture and the culture of their parents as primitive culture.

no matter who you try to be, at the end of the day you will be a Somali. believe me, if you don't know that yet, you will be someday in your life.

whites or westerners would never, ever take your culture, so why take and glorify their culture???!!!

i will always be a Somali, like it or not. i care less. and my Islamic and somali culture is superior to all cultures.

somalis back in somalia have lost the somali culture. we are a nomadic nation and being a nomad was our culture once u settle in a urban area you have left ur grandfathers path.

Somali complexity at its best, Same question can be asked in regards to why majority of Somalis back in the 60s to 80s rocked afros and dresses with no khamaar, as a result of influential figures such as james brown and Aretha Franklin, Jackson 5s etc.., It's a phase people go through, from one era to another, its hardly ever a permanent thing, people eventually grow out of it.

makes sense but thats why pure somali culture was before the British and Italians came into the scene. It's been going downhill ever since.

Somali culture needs to be studied and protected, like it was during the 70s and 80s, although we were influenced by Western and Eastern cultures we had a strong sense of self because Media outlets would give programs regarding Somali customs and traditions. Men like Axmed Faarax Idaaja are doing a great job keeping records of our culture

I wonder what the next phase will be?
