Since you’re a Somali and English is not your mother tongue then why don’t you call yourself madow instead of an English word black?I will marry when I retire. (Soon)
My criteria:
1. She is Muslim
2. She is African
3. She must be younger than 30 ( I need someone who will take care of me in my senile years)
If you're wondering why I have never married, it was because I was obsessed with the bachelor's lifestyle. I am now too old for that, so I am prepared to settle down and have children.
Thank you for asking!
All the people from below North Africa are considered black Africans (except white South Africans).
Why does the term "black" have a negative connotation in the English language?
Black has a negative connotation in most languages (especially European languages). I showed you above, Somalis and Arabs also use the term "black" in a negative way in their languages.
In Arabic, white also has a good meaning while black has a negative meaning.
Hudhyafah bin al-Yamān said that the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) said,
Trials and tribulation will be presented to the heart [one after another] in the same way that the mat is knitted together, reed by reed. Any heart that accepts them will have a black spot form on it.
Any heart that rejects them will have a white spot put on it until the hearts end up being one of two types: a black heart, murky and like an overturned vessel, it does not know the good and does not reject the evil, [all it is seeks] is that which its base desires seek; and a white heart which will not be harmed by trials for as long as the heavens and the earth remain.
One of the languages it does have a good connotation is in ancient Egyptian. Black in ancient Egyptian symbolizes life and fertility.
You still haven’t answered my question why has the word black got so many negative connotations while the word white has so many positive connotations in the English language I didn’t ask you about any other language since you call yourself black which is an English word
