What a nacas he thinks it’s a joke when his people are being dehumanized in front of the world

 

[Geeljire lotus]

The disrespect is real.

we gotta start making our own narrative, because this is what ajnabis will reduce us too. They are going to make my noble ethnicity into a meme and insinuate that we’re ugly.

KSI can't be talking with that humongous cranium of his. He’s out here looking like a walking lightbulb

Honestly I don’t want little kids in the community exposed to this shit on the daily online we gotta stick together in times like this and come with a solution

This would require Somalis to start entering the entertainment and modeling industry at a high rate. This would piss off a lot of somalis because too many of us don't want to assimilate amongst westerns. I feel like most these people are perfectly fine with what we have right now.
We basically need a bunch of gaal or gaal adjacent Somali niggas to start thriving in the entertainment sector. The chunks method isn't enough.

Also the only Somali people that prioritize taking care of their looks are women and young men. Older Somali guys give no fucks and are stepping outside looking dusty.

The old guys, ugly niggas and the fobs pretty much.

We only have one good looking guy representing us and it's sharky.

It's forced though. People want a reason to dislike us and that's what they picked. The average uncle in every community is a calooley with bidaar mess. It just speaks to the desperation to establish a stereotype. Not sure if pumping out 10 Sharkys will fix that.

Do you think we can still turn this around ?

So true, it’s kinda weird how we get no benefit of doubt and reduced to our worst looking
