In Wakanda too. Did you see any Cushitic Horners represented in that film?! Even the obscure lip-plate "Ethiopian" tribe got a feature
Proud of what? Truth is there's nothing to be proud of. It's an empty label, doesn't carry any meaning. And to both ajnabi and white people in specific I'm ambiguous.
wtf are you talking about ?? white north africans are not arab genetically and black north africans are haratin descendents of west african slaves imported during the trans-saharan slave trade : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haratin
There is a interesting book on how powerful Black Slaves where in the Moroccan Empires IIRC its on my to read list
It's more complex actually because among north africans the children of a berber man are automatically berbers and free even if their mother is a black slave. That's why some half-black individual reached high-position in the moroccan society. For example the great sultan Mulay Ismail was half black. Also this same Sultan built an army of 150 000 black slaves ! They were called the Abid al Bukhari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Guard). They were later defeated by berber and guich tribes because they started to gain too much power.
their descendents are still working for the moroccan monarchy btw :
Yeah very interesting. The Black Guards where similar to the Janissaries (Ottoman), Ghulam corps (Safavid) and Mamluks (Egypt), lack of tribal connections making them more loyal to the Monarch which means their throne is more secure. It was very common all over the Muslim World because while tribal militaries can bring you to power they are not trustworthy and are prone to betray you.
What is black? Race is mainly a social construct. Genetically, culturally and ethnically Africa is the most diverse continent in the world.
Black is a social construct just like brown. An arab from yemen is considered brown just like an indian and we all know that Indians and arabs aren't the same. A somali and yorba are even more different than an Arab and a south Indian.
Having said this we are black, we have dark skin and the fact most of us have different features doesn't change the fact we are black and perceived as such. Many somali looking somalis could easily pass as african Americans because whites don't really see much difference, at most they consider us as "blacks with different features" but still blacks.
Yes we have our own somali identity, but we are Black Africans

Many ethnic somalis don't look like dark caucasians.
This is an average crowd in Hargeysa, they don't all have sharp features and yet you can see they are somalis
Nobody built civilisations without external influence. If northern europe didn't have influence form southern europe who was influenced by the middle east they would have been stuck in stone age.
Blacks in Mali had an impressive civilisation despite being more isolated from the rest of the world. Civilisation happens in places were people can exchange ideas
Anyway let's look at the present. Most if not all Bantu countries are better than somalia economically, politically and in every other aspect.
I love that we somalis are proud and feel inferior to nobody, but let's not be arrogant

You bet it is.Is it accurate according to anthropology?

Of course, I'll take it if the white women calls me their "Cocoa Aryan"
Heheheheh, How's that for Cushite Supremacy. #AbdiBreakIn
Not true, there were 6 instances of civilization independently coming to be.
Yes, Europeans trace back their civilization origins to ancient Greece. However stopping there is disingenuous. Ancient Greek civilization has it's origins from the Minoan civilization, ancient Anatolia, the Levant (particular Phoenicia), ancient Egypt.
Their civilization had influence from Egypt via the Sahara/sahel and the arab maghreb. They didn't build civilization by themselves. Lol their buildings were made from mud, that's not a great civilization. Even more isolated native Americans had buildings made from stone.
Yes, the exchange along with the wide spread adaptation of agrarian of techniques/technology and metallurgy (hence the name of stone age, copper age, iron age, etc.) by a society
When did I say Somalia is in better shape than those nations? I didn't claim Somalis created or had a civilization, because they didn't they were nomadic savages. Doesn't change the fact that Madows never built a civilization by themselves and it doesn't change the fact that we're not the same people at all.
