LMAO YOU GO SIS
think about it, what's their favorite word and go to insult? cuck
its projection of the highest order
Somalis can't seem to keep them out of our mouths so why are you guys surprised that they are starting to catch on. in fact, the only way we make ourselves feel better about our shitty situation is by always comparing ourselves to them as if they haven't surpassed us in so many ways.
don't chat shit about their community and then act all surprised when they do the same.
I will admit that we are an easy pick for other Africans to shit on but there's a difference between them and AAs. We, god knows for whatever reason, decided they were an easy pick to laugh at and mock. Just think back to less than a decade ago, where they ever making videos about us? Did they even know who Somalis were? NO. We mocked them and their community and tried to use their plight as a cautionary tale. Yes their community is broken and there are aspects of their culture that we should completely avoid but belittling them as a way of making ourselves feel better about our selves I just low.That's half the story though and it's not exclusive to African Americans. They're just running with the Somalis are self haters gimmick because they have a blame culture just like we do. The only time they seem to get along is when they're calling out 'coons'. There are 85,000 Somalis in the United States. Close to 40 million African Americans. Barring the older generation who likely doesn't interact with non-Somalis and the number of youth that have completely assimilated into their community, what's left? Truthfully speaking, Somalis are overly arrogant and prideful towards anyone. Even in some other thread right now people were talking about making blanket statements for cadaans. I'm not going to defend Somali xenophobia but it is not exclusive to AAs. You could argue that AAs specifically are looked down upon more than others and perhaps you're right. That's just another shit aspect of Somali culture. You have a small minority which imo is now outnumbered by the Somali pan-Africanists that gravitate to the Arab sphere. It's safe to say American Somalis are better equipped to judge AAs than vice versa.
Now have you noticed how British Blacks/Africans perceive Somalis? You know they look at Somalis different than any other sub-Saharan ethnic group with the exception maybe being other Horners. I don't know what Ethios and Eritreans have done but they managed to get away with saying the slickest shit and most other Africans still love them. Seriously man you cannot convince they don't have an obsession with Somalis. Perhaps it's because we're identifiable phenotypically on top of the fact that most Somalis are Muslim unlike most other Africans which . There are numerous African groups that count 200k+ and are equivalent if not bigger in population to Somalis. Yet when's the last time you heard people chat shit about Kenyans or even describe someone as Kenyan, Congolese etc. For f*ck sakes there are nearly 2 million Black people in the UK yet 'Somali' is thrown around left and right IRL.
I'm not saying racism from Somalis is ok but the hate is definitely reciprocated. Hang around at your pro-Blacks ACS long enough and you'll see attitudes shift from pan-Africanism to WA supremacy as the circle gets smaller. A lot of my friends are WA and most of them acknowledge Somalis as Black just not in the same way.
I wasn't necessarily on about the median income but that's ambiguity on my end I guess. Sure their five figurinos are slightly higher on averageBlack American median income: $35,481
Somali American median income: $22,368

Why is that we keep making threads about them? Where are the threads for every other community? How about we start talking about the African communities that are constantly degrading us just like we degrade AAs.
All I'm saying is we need to leave these people alone. Lets stop trying to make them our enemies and lets stop talking about how broken they are when its absolutely none of our business.
I totally understand what you are saying about other Africans throwing our name around so i would much rather we shift the conversation to West African's and leave AAs alone.
Anyways it's not even a superiority thing, this victimisation thing has them bottom of the barrel-jiu jitsuing for validation from recent arrivals?
I've reported/flagged the video for Anti-Cushitic rhetoric.
10 yrs ago youtube was still in that cat stage so of course no one was making videos. I don't know if you live in america, but growing up in a predominately black community there has always been a sub culture of black people that looks down upon africans, ergo the term african booty scratcher. I'm not saying all black people do this there were a lot of good ones too, but it's not like this isn't a shared sentiment or that a lot of somali american youth didn't get increased negative sentiment after hearing black people use the same things whites used against them for centuries as insults against africans. including ignorant things like can you speak africans *clicks*
it's not about the term and I'm not justifying mockery, you were saying they don't look down on africans and I was telling you they do. and not because of what somalis say about them.I have seen Africans justifying their hatred towards AAs with that term. do you think a childish word like that warrants mocking their community and using them as a cautionary tale, especially when you are doing much worse?
the reason they are fixated on us and not the other Africans is because despite our chaotic country and despite having the lowest median income out all of the ethnicities in America we still have the cheek to look down on them. I know some of you are going to use the refugee card so why cant we extend the same level of understanding towards them when they say they are where they are because of their history and the fact that they are still being discriminated against till this day.
I don't live in America so I'm not going to speak for the Americans here, but my stance is based on the fact that even somalis in the UK who probably have never even met an African American, still chatting shit about them.
speaking of insults that white people use, are Somalis in any position to talk. we call them worse things cadaans do but god forbid that they say we can't speak the language.
there's a difference between mockery and the pure hatred that Somalis display towards them. I'm not excusing their views towards us but I'm asking how the hell did we even get on their radar in the first place.it's not about the term and I'm not justifying mockery, you were saying they don't look down on africans and I was telling you they do. and not because of what somalis say about them.
second, so what if they are used as a cautionary tale? I don't see anything wrong with that you see what's happening to somalis in canada and other ghettos it's what happens when you're absorbed into black culture no point in sugar coating it.
And you don't live in america so how can you see we are doing much worse? We're not doing much better but like hell we're doing "much worse" this is why I think the propaganda on somalispot can be too much for some to handle
What have you American Somalis done to these African Americans for them to hate us so much?
I guess all those Xalimos on twitter who were actively fighting for the cause of BLM movement has gone unnoticed.

of course Somalis are doing much worse, did you not see the median incomes posted for both groups above?
as i said, using our refugee status as an excuse isn't really plausible anymore. most Somalis have been in that country for 25 years, that means 25 year olds should all be in the work force earning much higher that that number, but is that the case?
as for the AAs, yes they have been in America from day 1 but were they ever afforded a platform to succeed? NO. but even during segregation, they were still thriving as best as they could. how about the fact that despite all the obstacles in their way, they still managed to produce millionaires, billionaires, scientists etc..
About 'black culture' nobody forced Somalis to become thugs and told them to mimic the worst part of American culture. Tbh, I would even argue that its not so much 'black culture' as it is Somali culture as well. after all, its not like we were mimicking another culture when we decided to destroy our country.
Afkaaga caano lagu qabay, I was thinking this earlier.They mad that the muslim ban gathered more protestors which is more diverse than their silly blm gatherings.
