Yoo Somali parents even ask their kids why are they so dark? And tell them to wash the darkness.

the people who practiced the religion the longest (because they sort of were there for its installation and its founder was one of them) brought the religion to us so obviously we were more keen to accept it. warya we got it from the source
and we had a connection with them via trade way before Muhammad

i'm talking strictly about why people would accept a theological proposition that can change their entire culture based on who the source is, doe. it's not an inherent sign of colourism in this respect.

Yes, Somalis families vary in color and face features. Most look like the hospital fucked up at a 95% rate 
. My mom sisters look like they came from Yemen to from the Congo's.

Okay, sounds good. I don't see the point of the hand, but okay.

Somalis make fun of 'ugly features' not colour. I was watching sheeko sheeko the other day and they had the nerve to talk about 'light skin privileges' I immediately stopped listening to that nonsense. Light skin privilege kulaha.
They might call a dark skinned person dhuxul, they might give him/her ironically cadde/cadeey.
That chick is emulating black culture. Somalis don't have Lightskin privilege culture. Actually light skinned people are the most made fun of in the Somali culture.
I know an old guy named Nur Caade, he's almost purple, and his real name is not Nur Caade, Somalis gave him a first and a last name nickname
Global problem.
With Chinese families, they tell off their children if they play in the Sun (saw this when I was little numerous times.)
They explained that it's so they don't become dark. Nobody wants to be the white man more, than Chinese people due to the brutality of the whites during olden times.
For us, I think it's a problem that occurred in two-steps. First, due to white colonisation, whiteness = physical military power.
Secondly, Caucasian arabs (the kind that don't even tan in the deserts) = associated with money AND modern political power/high social status.
When we were the top nation in Africa and mid-east during Siad's time, NO ONE wanted their daughters to marry Caucasian arabs, as they had nothing. This is the time, when we used to send food aid to Qatar and Oman (Oman only recently discovered hydrocarbons.)
Nowadays, with the glitzy skyscrapers and glittering mall's etc, + popular concepts like "arab money," creates false, but strong associations. Unfortunately.
All built on debt.

This will change though, as military power is no longer in the hands of the west, but Russia+China etc.
As for the mid-east, that'll change too, as they are all broke and their oil fields running on fumes. GCC is now actively borrowing from as many banks as they can find + selling chunks of previously solid state-owned companies.

They are so desperate to borrow gaal money, that Saudi and UAE are being forced to change Islamic principles (social engineering via financial engineering,) such as introducing VAT and taxes across the broad, especially income tax.

"Sept. 15 — The United Arab Emirates and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are finalizing plans for a value-added tax (VAT) across the region to counter falling oil tax revenues and the UAE also is weighing an additional step of introducing a corporate tax."

Too illustrate how desperate Saudi Arabia is and how INSANE this next action is, when you look at the whole history of the mid-east, is perfectly illustrated. Get this. Saudi Arabia has changed to the Gregorian Calendar as a pre-condition to receive loans from the IMF!
This was their attitude in 2012:

"The use of the English language to answer calls or communicate, mainly in companies and hotels, has also been banned"

So, to answer your question of "where does colourism come from with the Somali community."
1. The Berlin Conference of 1885 that instituted white supremacy in Africa.
2. Same place as colourism for every other society: POWER (lack of for us, temporarily.)
Money provides power and status. Once we get our nations house in order, colourism will disappear as quickly as it arrived.
You nailed it. Both times. We can already see the attention Somalis are getting across the world (both genders as well.)Lol strangely in pre-Islamic Arabia people with a white/reddish skin tone were deemed to be inferior as it was the skin tone associated with slaves (the vast majority of them being of Persian descent).
Times change bruh… Before we know it, the Somali look can be the next big thing. Don’t be surprised if self-induced receding hairline becomes a mainstream trend one day.
Somalis are the originals, no one fathered us but we in fact fathered many people, such as the Tuaregs.
Somali's, are of Cananite descent (where you find the name, k'naan/keynaan/kinaan etc.)
Somalis and the Nejaz + Hejaz tribes are genetically 95% similar. Saudi's intermarried with women from ALL qabil in order to claim the Kingdom.
I'm not doubting, and in fact believe that many people came to us, but based on all the evidence available, our heritage is largely pure. We are genetically older than most in the Horn and Mid-east apart from those mentioned above.
Zaylac was the 3rd place to receive Islam after Mecca and Medina, in the entire world.

Let us not make things up now... look on the map at where saylac is and where makkah/madinah is. The muslims fled to eritrean ports as it was part of the abysynnian kingdom.

So now Habashi were muslims before the very people (Somalis in case you can't figure it out) who came from the region of Hejaz and Nejaz?
If you say so guy.
No he's right the xabashis became muslim before us. That's undisputed.
