Always the fault of Cushitic trolls even though they haven’t considered us blacks as soon as we arrived in the West.

I’m talking about deep-seated hatred. This did not exist until the last few years thanks to cushitic trolls.

There’s no such thing as black, the closest black can get is bantu

My guy if you are of African descent and are dark/brown/ light skin whatever you want to call yourself unless you are a non black North African you are black nobody gives a crap about your soft hair and your sandheer and your different dna. Obviously black is a racial construct, but in society Somali isn’t a race it’s an ethnicity.
 
An African American might have White ancestry but he's still Black at the end of the day

Most Somalis agree we're Black, it's just these cringe ass trolls.
I don't understand your position? We have to accept something without reason? Even though we have cultural and scientific evidence against it?

My guy you don't understand genetics, Madows have archaic hominid species that Somalis don't have. We're not the same race in any way.

So u acknowledge that many of them didn’t consider us black off the bat?

Yes, I do but the black sisters in the video I posted mentioned that West Africans experienced the same thing when they first arrived in the UK. Immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa faced similar issues when they first arrived to the US. It’s not an experience that is unique to Somalis but the Somali response has been incredibly unique in its racism.

Black is a cultural/Social group. Somalis are apart of that social group. If you come from a Dark-skin sub-Saharan ancestry, you are Black.

A Nigerian isn't related to a Zimbabwean, A Zimbabwean isn't related to a Kenyan but they all agree to being Black and we Somalis are also Black, very simple.
