Black Youtubers discuss Somali racial identity issues

[Mehdi Hassan]

Why does his hair look like that? Looks straight but strange looking.

He permed it I guess. He was tryna look like a Super Saiyin but failed miserably.

 

[embarassing]

It isn't, completely understood and logical. What didn't make sense was how you claimed to be on both sides when we have opposing arguments.

You need to read it again. Its very simple, or do you believe identifying as Somali only means you should insult people and be racist?

Not at all. You can't be on opposing sides. Simple as that.

 

[embarassing]

Also, can the admins ban the words caucasian and caucasoid? It really triggers me when ppl use it on here looool.

The clearly wider nose, bigger lips and negroid headshape. Not to mention the body type.

not really, nilotics are build exactly like cushites, and many khoisan have a short scrawny build, even bantu can have exceptions in body type and facial appearance.

Nilotics have more of an extreme build than Cushitics do, Bantu are generally more short and stocky and while you may be correct about the lesser known Khoisan, you've acknowledged that there is no one African phenotype as you previously so ignorantly and offensively claimed.

There is no point in arguing these kinds of things. Whats the problem with Somalis choosing to just identify as Somali? I think the real issue is the racist comments towards other *unprovoked* especially.

He/she claims there is a single unifying phenotype for all Africans. So there is a point.

yeah my mistake on the description, they all have the dark skin and nappy hair typical of groups below the sahara is what i meant

 

[Caaro]

My skin is brown with kinky hair, I definitely am black. (No lies told)

so kinky hair and brown skin is a race?

 

[Caaro]

Black- people of dark skin tone from Africa. Therefore, Somalis are black. Being black is not something to be ashamed of, or proud of, it’s just a d aescriptive.

I'm annoyed that white people made the label and i'm forced to accept it.

 

[Apollo]

This discussion is so boring. How many times do you guys have to have it. It is like a weekly occurrence now.

 

[Caaro]

You’re a moron. Negro is our race, just we Hamitic!
WTF kind of mindfuckery have you induced?!

That’s right! Cushitic is a stock of Negroid.
At the end of the day all this race crap is just words, cos I’ll always be a nigga anywhere in the world I go!
Seriously you think any non-black gives a care about one race of blacks over another? No.

Only bored Somali housewives broke on they ass and old coffee drinking boomers give a care how “superior” they are as a Somali, bunch of Nacala nonsense.
Every other black kid out here just trying to touch funds upping the levels but only you bored internet trolls keep this “Somalis be white” crap up which I am going to say good job for hating on our race but watch out just cos we both black don’t mean I won’t slap the coon out yourself!

I agree, I just won't call myself a color. I'll call myself african and somali.

No they don't. Somalis typically have brown skin, 3B hair, slim ses, thinner lips, larger foreheads, Caucasian skulls and lanky bodies. What about this fits within your ridiculous idea all Africans have dark skin and 'nappy hair' which is quite offensive too fyi. The truth is the vast majority of Somalis don't have coarse hair, and while ot may be possible we typically have curly hair but hair can range from straight to coarse. Skin tone also widely varies. So no, not all Sub-Sabaran Africans have dark skin and coarse hair. I myself have curls and light skin, no family member I know has dark skin or coarse hair either.
