I think you're overstating the 'hatred' towards AAs. People constantly make condescending comments towards AAs online but so do they to many other people. You're not going find a single positive comment about Indians and Pakis on here, despite the fact they're doing much better than Somalis and probably AAs.
AAs are brought up disproportionately because they're the poster child for a 'failed' community. Just like when people say X is going to be the next Somalia. Not to mention the fact that people are arrogant and conceited elitist cunts online. I'd bet my left nut the average Somali American youth is far more friendly with Black Americans than White Americans. Sure there are a lot of negative connotations towards AAs, especially when Somali culture comes at play with 'Madow' etc. but like all other immigrants (incl. Africans) people just adopt the existing culture. AAs are at the bottom and immigrants have no problem stepping on them to create the illusion of climbing ranks. We rarely trash other Africans more than Arabs, Whites, Asians etc. so I don't think it's a race issue per se .
before all of the above paragraphs, that's what i said. Somali just like other migrants don't mind stepping on them to pick themselves up. however, the thing that separates us from say other Africans in their eyes, is the fact that we are much poorer than them. therefore its understandable that they are baffled by our false sense of superiority. they already know that literally, every other group in the world looks down on them, but with us, we have no right to look down on anybody when we are a cautionary tale ourselves.
