Yeah so...i did not say all identify as Black but most do and I don't know if an Habesha wrote this article or not so I can't really infer that much from the paragraph.
Obviously I touched a nerve because the lot of you are deflecting like MF.
marry xabashi?@Yonis @Apollo @Ferrari @Crow
There was an attempt by Haile Selassie during his reign to culturally assimilate and integrate the Somali. He had a plan to financially compensate Somali men for marrying them. This plan largely failed. If the Somalis could not be Habeshized, why on earth would they accept an even more foreign label?
:siilaanyolaugh:
With or without the main author being Ethiopian or Eriterian there were still Ethiosemetic speaking contributors. If you actually read it, these people much like the Somalis you are chastising are resisting the notion of racialization, which you endorse. Bear in mind, the study was ethnographic but conducted in a metropolitan area with large Ethiopian and Eriterian American populations. Somalis are by far the most resistant to the black label not because they are dark skinned which is as plain as day but because they feel it obscures their ethnocultural identity in favour of the most populace groups where they live AAs in America and Caribbeans in Canada (essentially those of West-Central African decent). They feel instead of being apart of a label where their identity is constantly questioned its better to focus on what they are ethnically (which is a more static identity). Also, ethnicity is a better baramoter for race in general as its more specific. As opposed to what ajnabis think (non-Somalis) we're not as concerned about that. Thanks.
How am I projecting when most of us would get 95% percent african on a dna test. So we would actually have more of a right to claim black than you if anything.
We refuse the black label not because we don't consider ourselves as people with dark skin, but we prefer NOT to accept the white man's classification of race and reduce ourselves to a color. By your logic, as muslims, we should accept being called terrorists because it's how the world see us?Nah, y'all pretend like it's because you are trying to fight white supremacy you say this stuff, when it is the opposite. You feel superior to other Africans for silly things like hair and nose, Which are standard set by whites. Every time you guys say this you sound like white begs.
But yeah continue to delusionally believe your are Sooo different from an AA but end up in the same statistic for police killing because they found you more threatening and it won't because you're Somali....but because your black
My skin is light brown with two light brown parents. Pretty much the same as indians and arabs and whites when they tan....so what?? Use your brain cells sjw xalimos i know your allergic to intellect but why class only us and not the other fore mentioned groups??
You're not understanding my point.
Pakistanis share the same continent with Japanese people, they are considered asians in UK, and thats fine, my point is, nobody is forcing Pakistanis and Chinese/Japanese people to come together under the label as "The Yellow Race", the same way Somalis shouldn't be grouped in with west africans/bantus as "The black race".
Also Your west european vs east european analogy doesn't apply since they both have the same bone structure, skull structure and phenotype that allows them to be unified under the 'white' or 'europeans' race even if their haplogroups might differ slightly. All europeans whether they are italians or irish or russian will have this caucasian anatomy.
This is Very different from somalis and blacks since somalis and blacks have different skull structure, bone structure and so on, i'm not talking about a slight haplogroup difference, i'm talking about everything skin deep that is used to differentiate for example a nigerian from a swedish person, is more or less the same difference between a nigerian and a somali person. Skin colour is irrelevant. thats the problem with the "black" label
Again I am not arguing against identify with your culture nor am I against people saying I am Somali instead of I am black. The problem is when people ( non African descent) say your are black, they are identifying you as someone of AFRICAN descent and not necessary of WEST AFRICAN descent, So the answer would then be yes I am black but I am also Somali, Ethiopian etc
These two identities are not mutually exclusive. You can be both black and Somali.
It is your prerogative not to use this label because you want to be seen as a special kind ofSnowflakeAfrican but at the end of the day most people can not tell the difference.
Its quite variable. People do and can tell the difference. There wouldn't be hundreds of thousands of search queries on us if we all looked the same. As for the unique little snow flake. We're Somalis we can handle anything.:siilaanyosmile:And being online for so long you should know Somalis use either or thinking. So, you're reasoning will fall on deaf ears. And why should it matter to you. Nothing you do or say will change them.
We refuse the black label not because we don't consider ourselves as people with dark skin, but we prefer NOT to accept the white man's classification of race and reduce ourselves to a color. By your logic, as muslims, we should accept being called terrorists because it's how the world see us?
We are superior to other Africans not because of our features, but because of history, pride, bravery, our uncompromising spirit which bows to no one but Allah. You as a xabashi should know that, despite being 10% your numbers, we've made you resort to eating raw meat just to avoid being spotted by us, and don't forget the L you took in 77. Even to this day, without anyone backing you, I am confident we can still defeat you, even with your numerical and military advantage.
third, just because the world sees you as in a way, or calls you something because of their own ignorance or for their own convenience doesn't mean you have to accept that.
shame you bought into the belief that all black people have to look negroid. We are black, east african cushtics.
In an ideal world, even west Africans should be identifying themselves by their ethnic group, not a word given to them by the white man for convenience. That's the problem, not somalis calling themselves somali.
@Lilafrombole what kind of black do people in the west imagine when they think of a black person?
marry xabashi?
We're proud people and it seems other black people hate that. Let's say, we agree to identify ourselves as madoow 100%, what benefits does that bring? For us, for Madows?
Nothing.
adoons are the dumbest creatures Allah created wallahi. They have real issues to fix in their communities, and they focus on this as if somalis identifying as black will bring anything good to them.
war naga aamusa nacala abuuk!

I know girl. I don't even know why I try.
Outside of Africa, most people in the world imagine negroids when they think of black people because the world is exposed to them more than east and north east africans. that's a problem.
People do not like that.From what I've noticed with Somalis they are more insular than other African groups. And from my colleagues who have worked with them demanding as a community. Lol, they (coworkers) have told me they are very proud, overconfident types that are hard to persuade.
If your black then you better get used to Somali superiority. Were not trying to be mean or what you would classify as racist...it it just the way god made us.Honestly I am uncomfortable with your reasoning because you are using the same language and reasons white people use to use to enslave and subjugate black people the world over. That is why I disagree with you guys vehemently on this issue. Had this just been purely on loving yourself and wanting to uplift your culture, I would not be against it, but there is a superiority/ inferiority complex in every reasons I have heard so far, and I don't have the knowledge or degree to better understand that psychology.
