This somali dude on nairaland has been using too many derogatory words for africans(blacks). Words like black, ugly etc are his favourites. He tries very much to distance himself and his people from the word "black". So i want to know, what do they consider themselves as over there?

you really have enough time to think over this and
finally post it here..

let the stupid man realize his stupidity by himself..

i dont consider myself white. lmao

i dont consider myself black either. both are colors.


i consider myself SOMALI. That is what my ethnicity is.

you should google or talk to somalis. Somalis consider themselves Somalis, and not black or white or arab.


This goes for ethiopians, eritreans, sudan. We dont look like blacks nor do we look like arabs or whites.

are you guys lighter than most AAs? Likes of beyonce,rihanna,usher etc still consider themselves black and hungry,black people like You people are there making mouth. Let's forget being brainwashed,apart from "white,black" being a racist language, i don't see anything wrong with it because not every whiteman you see thay you know his ethnicity. Whites like slavs,croats,english, bavarians etc are for convinience sake called "whites" just like blacks of somalis,ethiopa etc.

wow. you have a problem that you cant even see. your arguing with 100 million people in the horn of africa who look difffrent than black people. and your made cause they chose to call themselves their ethnicity.

i am much closer to an arab muslim than a somali christian. the majority of blacks are not muslim and dont have my culture nor my look or history.


you are the ones who have been brain washed. somalis never were owned as slaves and only met whites since world war 1. we have had slaves who we called black for hundreds of years. and black is a social term. in america black means diffrent than what it means in brazil or east africa. black is a color, with no history, language.


go learn what you are and stop hiding under a color, better yet stop going around judging horners who are older than you and your black race.

it's now that i know ur problem. You're indeed brain-washed. You're a muslim and very close to north africa? You have their mentality that the term "black and white" are western invention and like the middle-easteners, they hate the western world. Btw, the pictures you posted,the people on it aren't lighter than most igbo people.

Dude, your pretty brain washed. Somalis have lineage, and wouldnt trade that for a color. We have clans that makeup the somali family. it has nothing to do with arabs and north africans. We dont like foreigners, including blacks, ethiopians, arabs, north africans.


no army came to somalia to brain wash us, rather it was us who sent armies to kenya, ethiopia to fight our wars for the past 3,000 years.

All ancient cultures value their uniqueness and their lineage and wouldnt give that up for a color that was given to them by europeans. Somalis havent had that much contact by whites to alter our thinking or for us to go by their labels.


As for the women i posted, who cares how light they are, only a brain washed person who think of that.

One day when your culture is dead, and no one speaks your language, because all your people decided to call themselves black and intermixed with others than you will understand what you have lost. This is the reason why are women and men rarely marry outsiders, its the perservation of our culture that makes us believe that we are diffrent and we have something worth protecting.

lol

I am new to this board. I am an eritrean male but born and raised I the states. I just want to come out and let you guys know that not all East Africans feel this way. Most habeshas ( Eritreans and Ethiopians) recognize their black heritage although we also recognize we might have some mixture down the line. I don't get why Somalis deny themselves being black.

We are somalis. Obviously we are a diffrent people than nigerians,ghanians,south africans, congolese, kenyans, south sudanesne, if we were the same people we would look the same.


their is a reason why we look diffrent cause we are diffrent. To say we are black like the nigerians and other negroids is offense to my ancestors. I would be denying their uniqueness and who they were.

Its like a nigerian sayings he is somali. He would be denying his people if he were to say he was a horner or a somali because he is not. For this same reason we somalis say we are somali. I dont even say am cushitic or horner like these people sometimes say.



Why is it a shame to say my own ethnicity. Their is no scientific thing called race. Black is a color. Its also has a culture. Some ask if obama is black enough. Clearly meaning black is more of a way of life.






I cant believe you called yourself habeesh. This is very sad for those eritreans who died to give you independence from ethiopia.

can u really explain how you are different from kenyans,nigerians,ghananians etc? You have dark skin colour just like them only that due to religion and sharing boarders,ur fathers inter-married heavily with arabs and some of you have yellow and brown skin. Is that the difference?

1. Our religion is different

2. Our features are different

3. our hair is different, and even our skin color is diffrent

4. If you put a somali in a line with 100 negroids; you will find him immediately

5. Somalis look more Arab/Indian than they do Nigerian/Ghanian

6. Our view of the world is much diffrent. Our view of the world is similiar to Arabs.

7. Our history is completely diffrent We have a history that is more international and involves trade with arabs, persians, inidans than we do with negroids.

8. Somalis face more discrimination in negroid countries like Kenya, South africa than they do in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen. No somali stores have been burned in ethiopia or yemen or United arab emirates.



DO THESE SOMALIS LOOK MORE NIGERIAN OR INDIAN? CLEARLY WE ARE NOT INDIAN OR ARAB BUT WE LOOK SO MUCH MORE DIFFRENT THAN NEGROIDS.


BUT MORE SOMALIS ARE CONFUSED FOR BEING ARAB OR INDIAN. NEVER HEARD OF A PURE ETHNIC SOMALI BEING CONFUSED FOR A NIGERIAN/GHANIAN/KENYAN

You have won! You're now arabs. Somalia is a BLACK NATION with some asian blood.

Antivirus92: You have won! You're now arabs. Somalia is a BLACK NATION with some asian blood.

We are not arabs. And we are not a black nation. What a mooron.


Who do you the somali people with side on a black people or non blacks. Look at somalia now. They are getting arabs and pakistanis and other muslims to come to somalia to fight the african union. lmao


You must be in an afrocentric dream. Where you think somalis are black. We dont even take the side of ethiopia against Egypt. What makes you think we would take the side of Nigeria or any other african country over a muslim country.


You should probably go learn somali history before calling somalia a black nation. cause we somalis owned negroids longer than whites owned blacks.

THIS IS IS ONE OF MANY THREADS ON SOMALINET. ITS CALLED I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. LOL. THE FACT THEY ARE USING THIS WORD TELLS YOU THEY DONT CONSIDER THEMSELVES BLACK. BUT THEN AGAIN YOUR PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS CONDEMEND TO BEING SLAVES.



1.Blacks are incapable of speaking the English language – only a bastardized version of it known as ‘ebonics’. Ebonics is a bankrupt series of barks and grunts, and it takes little brainpower to determine the hundreds of slang expressions used in ebonics, as any 40-year-old white man can easily spout out a long conversation in street-slang with ease. Furthermore, blacks are incapable of success in America, despite having every opportunity and advantage that every other race has. When you see a black person who has not succeeded in America, scoff at him and remember comfortably that if your race were brutally oppressed and enslaved for centuries and your very culture destroyed in the process, it would only take your race about 15 minutes to recover because of the permeating presence of the American Dream.


2.I don't know why anybody would refer to themselves as a freakin' colour. I'm not black, I'm African and Somali, but I'm not black. African-Americans are "black" because they have no idea where the hell in Africa they are from and to be honest I've never actually seen anybody who was BLACK (save for the southern sudanese but they're blue not black). The only people Ive seen refer to themselves as "white" are Europe-Americans and thats only because they are as F'ed up as the African-American(ie. nothing and no one in America is pure). Okay so I'll end my little rant here

This Somali fool has very low self esteem and has come here to heighten it a bit, please ignore him, just ignore him. If you notice, right from the first day he appeared here from the blues, it has been "somalis are not blacks" "Black are ugly" "blacks look demonic" this and that. Just monolocution, nothing more. If I see a post by the fool, I know exactly what to expect and I'm never wrong. Just ignore him and his low self esteem!

so ur saying blacks are not ugly? come on son.

Somali consider themselves "arab wannabes"... thats worse than saying they are white

I call myself habesha because Eritreans and Ethiopians share heritage. We have similarities and differences.

somalia8: i dont consider myself white. lmao

i dont consider myself black either. both are colors.


i consider myself SOMALI. That is what my ethnicity is.

Every Ethiopian I've ever known personally would tell you in a heartbeat that they they're black/negro, one of whom was my brother-in-law. I've only known 2 Eritrean in my life personally, and they both identified as black Africans as well.

You got a link to the thread in which this posted in on Somalinet?

google somalinet bantu or black am using my cell right now



somalis dont call themselves arab


ethiopian dont call themselves black they call themselves habeesha.

somalia9: google somalinet bantu or black am using my cell right now



somalis dont call themselves arab


ethiopian dont call themselves black they call themselves habeesha.

but an eritrean is here already and he said that they(eritreans) identify with blacks and that they share history with ethiopians. So what are you saying again?

he said he calls himself habashee


and he also says their mixed back long ago

somalia9: he said he calls himself habashee


and he also says their mixed back long ago

stop including them in ur arguements. They are not 'whites' or 'arab/indian' like urself.

You should to o ethiopia and see if you will fit right in with ur black brethren. Lmao



Somalis are not treated well in Kenya and South africa cause they stick out and look diffrent.

somalia9: You should to o ethiopia and see if you will fit right in with ur black brethren. Lmao



Somalis are not treated well in Kenya and South africa cause they stick out and look diffrent.

we are not arguing whether they look different or not. They are negroes with traces of arabic blood. Their root is negro.

go tell a somali their root is negro


we are 5 percent subsaharan. we have adapted to our climate no negro lives in desert and speaks cushitic language

somalia9: go tell a somali their root is negro


we are 5 percent subsaharan. we have adapted to our climate no negro lives in desert and speaks cushitic language

Your MALE ancestors are 5% subsaharan African E3a derived, majority of the other part about 77% are also fully African as well,just a different mutation E3b1 of the same original male ancestor that spawn West, central and South Africans


Cushitic languages are African with borrowed words from semitic speakers. You are direct descendants of the same branch that spawn Oromo Ethiopians, true Archetypes of the elongated arid dwelling east African.

However there are some somali like Anyanle456 who are "arab wannabes"

cushitic language is afro asiatic and its root is he res and arab which are the oldest afro asiatic languaes.


I never once said i was arab and never will. Arab is a culture and i never claim it



I always say am somali. Somali dna says somalis 54 percent of our dna is the same as those of arabs.


No one is pure. so everyone has negro. even some west africans have 1 percent asian on them.



Somalis and Ethiopians are a diffrent people than negroids
