Somalis always insult other Blacks. Why do Somalis get emotional when they hear other people insult Somalis?
AAs have caused their own downfall from the 60s. They are the ones that sold drugs to each other, killed each other's and abandoned each other's as soon as they got any money.But we are black though, No?
And ain't nobody trying to use 400yrs of slavery as some sort of soup du jour bargaining chip, rather, the social injustices that AAs face today is prevalent in almost all the ethnic coloured minority groups. We just get less lead and incarceration.
We shouldn't fight their battles. They lowkey hate us for how we look. Most of the girls who tried to bully me in school for my hair and skin colour were black. They would laugh at me when I said I'm African and pull my hair checking if it comes off.
They can't take a continent (that they longer have ties to) away from you tbh.
Like African as itself is literally just geography based with a few connections in terms of immediate proximity.
See perhaps this is why I was never so hung up on race or ethnicity matters. America sounds like a hell hole for any ethnic group really...
Race is an abstract concept, its only used to divide and conquer. Humans are naturally tribal, they think that if we have the same skin colour it means that we're the same people. East Asians are more whiter than Europeans but you don't see them claim the "white" race.
True say but you grew up here too. The concept of race seemed so outdated that it mostly just grouped folks geographically. Like I always saw it as clustering ethnic groups based on where they were overseas and not much more. Black = African, white = euros, and then you had trickier parts like the carribean and so on.
You don't see them claiming white, but I'll be damned if I've seen even one say they weren't Asian. They just emphasize their ethnicity before where their country is situated.
To me it was never pejorative because I was only ever grouped with people who had their ethnicity completely in tact.
And anyone that genuinely still believes in race as a binding concept with any relevance outside the fictitious value we assigned to it is pretty fucking retarded. We already know that.
I guess the reason I can say I'm African Canadian is because I only share that tag with other folk from that Continent no matter how distantly related we may be (and for some we are talking thousand year dispersals). And my country is like 300 years old. But African groups in America gotta share that with an ethnic group literally brought there.
So yeah in a country like that you kind of only gotta bring yourself as just your ethnic group. America took race and put it on steroids ahlie.
it's actually a little over 1000, so 10 times your estimateAAs have caused their own downfall from the 60s. They are the ones that sold drugs to each other, killed each other's and abandoned each other's as soon as they got any money.
Police Brutality is a scapegoat for them to blame their problems on. Police killed a little over 100 unarmed blacks last year. In a country of 300+ million, and most of them in unstable and unsafe neighbourhoods aka poor black neighborhoods. I'm not trying to justify the Police killings but they're nothing compared to Black on Black violence and the police killings are mostly against ex-felons and such.
Be in real... Pretty sure we're the most despised African group here
Like Nigerians and Ghanaian people finna run from the tag cause of us if we don't shape the f*ck up soon.
And we do come as Somali Canadians first. It comes with being a unique looking ethnic group. So when they finally search up Somalia they see the Continent and they see that we look a lot like Ethiopians and Eritreans. East Africa always had a distinct look and vibe.

ur not trying to justify police killings but ur parroting all of the right wing talking points that are used to do just that . it's the same logic racist cadaans use when talking about muslims. idk why european niggas even to speak on north american issues anyway, they always end up sounding like rush limbaugh and shit
They hate us cuz they ain't us. Black women's biggest insecurity is their features and hair. Especially hair. Know from firsthand experience.Be in real... Pretty sure we're the most despised African group here
