BLM

[Jujuman]

As black Somali people, what are your views on the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and it's spread outside the United States?

 

[supz]

BLM only has substance in the black American community, where the judicial system is more tougher on black people, in addition to that black Americans are much less privileged. We have uk niggas shouting black lives matter, when we are treated so well. Its disgusting

BLM heavily funded by Jewish interest groups.

Has no bearing on the rest of the world and should remain an American group

 

[Mohamud]

Especially in countries like Canada where all people of afro-carribean descent weren't enslaved in the country they immigrated to

We have none of the pejorative past that AAs have and shouldn't frame our shit around what happens in America.

Not to say institutional racism can't exist but we're not victims of some half century butchering of our ancestor. That paradigm is not ours.

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

Somalis are not black.

 

[Mudug-Madman]

Somalis are not black.

Tell that to these racist American cops. We're all just to them.

 

[Mohamud]

Reiko's American so she has to share that label with people who actually descend from slaves.

Gotta keep in mind different paradigms and connotations of the word.

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

Cops in Mn know the difference between AAs and Somalis. I don't have to tell them they already know.

 

[Hemaal]

i don't give a f*ck! i'm not black, so it's not my concern

 

[ebimomo]

Somalis are not black.

[Hatredfree]

No we are not black.

I always tick the "other" option and write down Somali.

 

[ebimomo]
