fuck that I want Somali Historians writing our books, singing songs, making movies and poems etc. Somalis have the best history in Africa walahi, I'm tired of stupid Xabashi getting all the attention and dumb people on the net who know nothing about our History talking about Ethiopia as if it's so special and ahead while ignoring how freaking backwards it was compared to our great Sultanates. Where are the f-king Somalis at? they are very loud on the net but I don't see them when Xabashi are taking all of our credit.

It makes my blood boil

I think our history is too epic/great/amazing to be African history! just like how Egyptian history isn't African history to some African historians relate more with Xabashi than they do with Somali. Unlike Xabashis We were too much like Europeans and Arabs for them because we enslaved and colonized them so they are scared of us thanks to their deeply ingrained inferiority complex.
