We see ourselves as Somali, rightfully so. Black is for people with no homeland, no culture, no reference of self.
But hey if you and Bantus feel the need to dehumanize yourself into ''Blank empty abstract color'' be my guest.
Black women and Somali men have one thing incommon.

This political concern which is happening in my country we have large illegal immgrants from them meaning my concern are valid from national security point view but yours unreasonable just emotion like little teen.
No there is a difference. Being intelligent and being aware of broader interests isn't the same as crying over being victims and people not accepting you.

What's the situation with the Somalis out in Ethiopia & Northern Kenya then? ?? coolio
I have absolutely no interest in what an Nigerian would Identify as. Heck may they call themselves yellow, green, pink for all i care. I do not grade what we do by what they do. We Somalis are self determined people, we are not confined by a name that only reflects our skin color.

Which was sorta my point. There's unity with Sudan, Nigeria, AAs, etc but Somalis rather distance themsleves (which is fine by me)
But the problem I had was when @Canuck tried projecting her own anti-black beliefs onto Obama's father. Leave them out of it.
Well for starters we own the most businesses in Kenya and Ethiopia. Control a significant part of their economies. Same thing in how we dominate business in South Africa , we dont sit around blame people for our problems. If we cut ,bleed we retaliate just like humans , we takes things up as self determined people.
The issue in Kenya and Ethiopia proves how we are not subjugated people no matter how much you try to victimize us. We are resilient and Self determined.

Nigga show the proof your people dominate business in any of those areas
You expect me to believe that when your own country hasn't been functional for decades now. Meanwhile other African countries are far ahead.

Both the terms Black & African-American are what AAs named themsleves. Before that they were known as Negro which actually was the term given by whites. And as for that video, sorry but I'm gonna need something that proves Somalis are actually dominating. Where's the Somali millionares or billionares in those areas??
Why not just call yourself African American? why ''Black'' it serves no meaning other than to make you into a homeless slave.
You guys went from Negro=Spanish to = Latin and now to Black=English. What has changed? only the language , the words essentially mean the Same and is designed to reduce you to just a mere color.
Most cultures throughout the world commute color labels except for AAs and Bantus. I
There is something called Google maybe you should try it.
What can Somalis teach South Africans about business?

Somalis in Ethiopia live in their own land which called Ogaden region, same in Kenya they lived in NEF region, I would not go to history class but the whole horn was habited by Somalis. About Obama' dad I stated fact he was not Bantu but luo man, stop being emotional person, it is fact he was luo not Bantu expect it, and do not know about anti blackness or whiteness
Why do you concern yourself with Arab or Somalis ? Like they do not send AIDS, Ebola, and zaki to your countries, or sterization of your women like in Kenya, Israel or sending French soldiers to change regimes in Mali or their polices are killing like in states! ..,,,,,because they white(European ) you accept all these genocide from them but good lord I read about Somali teen in some forum and I declared war on them.

Yea? And what are whites reduced to by calling themsleves white?
I see your links but it doesn't prove they dominate those countries' economies as you implied

The trouble is, you think you have time
Because violence is fun.
Its like a well known Pan Africanist said:
"White" depends for its stability on its negation, "black." Neither exists without the other, and both come into being at the moment of imperial conquest-- Franz Fanon
Notice today only two races go by color labels; The race with the most oppression (bantus & AAs) and the ones inflicting that oppression (Europeans).
Culturally intact nations have their own agency and Self definitions, Japanese & Chinese do not identify as "Yellow", Ethiopians & Somalis do not identify as "Black". Arabs and Isreali Jews do not identify as "White"
I never said we dominate economies. I said we dominate in business areas and are successful in them. We also control a significant portion of Kenyan and Ethiopian economy as a result of owning numerous businesses, which the articles prove as well as the video analysis from experts who study us prove like the one I posted... My point was that despite the aggression & hostility inacted on us we dont dvelve in self pity and victimhood. We act as resilient and self determined people
