"I am Muslim and African woman not Somali. I love my religion so will it be ok for a Somali man to marry me?

They also have Muslims who are African Americans too ya know."

Another interesting comment

"yes i love somalian people too. But you are right about what you said. Here is my comment about the somalian men this is why i won't date somalian men anymore. They don't mind dating a black woman and they'll do what boyfriend and girlfriends do but they say we can only be friends and when they're ready to get married they go back to their country to pick a wife. Like the afro american women aren't good enough to be their wife. That's what my hang up is about somalian men. Thank you."

Hence why u wage my liberation struggle

Somali community = keeping up appearances

What do you mean by this?

Beenta waa xaran unless gaal been uu shegeysid
Quranka waa la xifdiyey lakin firi nin madow ey guursatay akhas
Qabyalad waa ceeb wadanka uu burburiye lakin fadhi kudirir doesn't count

Good video, she summed up MOST Somali girls in the West quite well.

She told it like it is.

It's sobering when gabadh madow has more integrity and pride than some of our girls.

"I see you guys a act goodie good around other somalis, you guys act like your perfect you dont do anything. But then when you guys get around black people, you tend to wanna drink and smoke and partying and Not be yourself "

.... She hit the nail.

Yup, because conformity only affects Somali girls.

Still I like the feel good message reminds me of Dr Seuss, "today you are you that is truer than true, there is no one alive that is you'er than you".
