I have no desire to be part of a qabiil region, therefore according to legends here and the the qabiil dhaqan, oo wejiga adag usu haaysto isaga iyo geeliisa dhuusada badan inuu yahay heeybadda iyo qurruxda ugu sareeyso ee uu Eebbe uumeey, thereby declares, I've been struck off to claim a Somali. I'm a Muslim, African & Black. Let us meet halfway and redefine Somalinimo.

Stop trying to redefine Somalinimo. The Somalis are an ETHNIC and a CULTURAL group and we've been this way for generations.
Don't try to flip upside down our entire identity, based on nothing more than your wishful thinking.

ok please tell me what does black mean? and do asians call themselves yellow? or east Asians anti Yellow?
calling asians yellow is racist but calling people black is not why?
Yellowface is another example of the racism prevalent in American culture. Yellowface means more than a white person wearing make-up to look Asian. It also describes the systematic bias against hiring real Asians to play Asian roles shown by white producers, directors, and others who control the depiction of Asians in popular culture through casting decisions and the propagation of racist Asian stereotypes and caricatures.
it should be racist to call people black just like calling people yellow!
i say it again and i say it ones more
i dont consider anyone black!
The term black is conceptual tool developed by europeans to lump up and ultimately stigmatize a group of people more diverse than any race on earth!

Lol sheeko yaroo iska maangaab ah ayaad wadan kamana daashaan. Seriously, the repetitiveness , regurgitation, rinsing and out right predictability of these topics is an insult to our intelligence and that of the Somali folks in general. Bilaa caleg have some originality for once and stop this nonsense.
Stating the obvious is the lowest form of expression. Ofcoz we are Muslims, African and Somali. Wax black la yidhaa ma jiraan it's just a midab, tilmaan. It's by no means an indication of your sinjjiyad or qaarad aad ka timid. In skin colourkenu yahay black waa wax iska cad. Ninka cad ee Siberia joga dee Cadaan baan ahay ma yidhaa oo western Cadaan ayaan wax isku nahay. His nationality then ethnicity and then religious affiliation is all that matters to him.
In a more simplistic way that you guys might understand this is how you lot undermine each others clans and sub clans when u are engaged in qabiil bashing . Notice how some state sub clans after sub clans of their own kin and in turn generalise his apponent's qabiil lol....This is the same. When western societies are undermining us they tend to use black or African when they know for a fact that's a demeaning and belittling.
You would never in your wildest dreams come across someone deliberately and consciously referring to one's self as White/Yellow or European/Asian for that matter. Pple tend to go beyond that it's healthy, natural and expected.
And as someone said it's a label every society has but the western folks have made sure to standardise it and African Americans have used it as their own to have some sort of belonging.

While blacks are running away from being labeled the lost Somali tribe is accepting labels.
