for the somalis who don't identify as Black..........

[x z]

do you say Nigga? And why.

Nigga is a word to be only used by Black people, and if you say you're not Black, you can't say it


AKA this word is not for you, you can't have your bariis then want baasto too.

 

[Keo]

No I don't say it however you don't have to be black to say that word. Some whites, latinos and even asians use it too.

N1gga is word invented by white people to call black people. And no you can’t take a word back from it’s original

Why do North American Somalis always think they are black? Bilaa dhaqan, they need dhaqan celis asap

answer my question saaxib, dont fly around assumptions. uk somalis are the main ones who need dhaqan celis, yall the wildest

 

[Shmurda]

I say the N word a lot and as for the question it depends what your definition of black is. What fits in the category "black" varies from person to person some people would consider me black and others wouldn't I don't really know myself if I'd technically be considered black so I can't really just say I'm black with full confidence. It's much easier for me to just tell people I'm Somali because I know for certain I fit in the category of being Somali.

Tl;dr I don't know enough about what exactly accounts for being black so I'm just neutral for now

so how come white people dont say it, but blacks mostly due. it has been successfully reclaimed. look at the shitstorm created when a Neanderthal on bbc news said it by quote. she got booted.

so what if I say nigga? Is that word entitled to a certain demographic?

the whole usage of that word is based on its entitlement on a certain demographic : black people. identify with that you want mashallah, but picking and choosing what part of black culture you adhere to confuses me. non-black people usually stay away from most things black

Black is a social term, not a race. I identify as Black for simplicity when I’m in public but being Black means nothing to me. An Arab is closer to us than a Yoruba from Nigeria or a Bantu from Congo. I say the N word sometime.

White people say it when they are around each other. What’s pathetic is calling yourself the name your slave owners called you. I mean couldn’t they even come up with something on their own. Again you can’t reclaim a word. And if you do, then you wouldn’t be offended when others call you. Cause they know the n word will always be negative

a yoruba or a bantu will say he feels closer to you than an arab.
an arab will say he feels no closeness to any of you.
plus, somali identity isnt based on ajnabis, so who cares what an arab thinks of you anyway

 

[Juke]

Nah, never really used it. No hood/black friends.

I used the er version. I’m traditionalist

 

[MiskeenMikeVick]

I perfer ja reer

 

[Harad]

Surely the Khoisan or the Zulues also do not like to be called black, a race would have to be invented every two or three kilometers

 

[Ceeblaawe]

I do not identify myself as black as i'm more lighter than your average Somali. I'm

 

[HanWER]

It cuz everyone here is considered black. Guys with 2% black blood with blue eyes are black
So ofc the average dhuxul somali is considered black here

 

[The Somali Caesar]

Latinos say nigga on a daily basis and they aren’t black so I can say it even though I don’t class myself as a black.

FYI you can have Bariis and Baasto you’ve clearly never seen a Somali traditional feast
