it's actually kinda sad when you think of how even people who are half black (i.e. Obama or Halle berry) have no problem calling themselves Black

In America there was the one drop rule. There were actual laws forcing people with as little as 10% African ancestry to be categorized as black by the GOVERNMENT.

Legacy of this system is why Mulattoes in America claim to be black rather than mixed. It has become a cultural thing of sorts.
 
@Kaafiye Klay most likely refers to himself as black. Most people won't see him that way because most judge by phenotype.
The term black is indeed a social construct, so even though technically Africans or Aboriginals are not related they still fit under the same category as "Black".

Somalis are mostly a dark-skinned people so they are not exempt.

@Khathead

They feel indifferent to other blacks. The proof is how they refer to African American as Madow or other Black African as Bantu.
Somalis think of themselves as dark colored Caucasians :chrisfreshhah:

Yea I understand if 1st gen Somalis have this mentality, but 2nd, 3rd etc generations... That's just fucking sad. We are not the same as AA, Caribbeans, West Africans etc, but we are still black. Just different looking than the rest

Only Madows happen to be the only ones insecure about Somalis and how we view ourselves. Why the hell do they care how Somalis themselves? What is it to you?

That being said, Somalis don't view themselves as "Arabs"....but that doesn't mean we should identify ourselves as "Black", which is an abstract colour term invented in the United States to refer to the descendants of the African-American slaves. We are not the same race.

Self-hating Somalis want to link themselves to people who literally have nothing to do with them.
It's nothing about linking ourselves you idiot... People like to put labels on others. When have you seen a German ing about being called white? Never, they know they are white but it means shit to them since they have more in common with fellow German and German speaking people. Most other black Africans are like that too, yet retarded diasporas from Somalis, Ethiopians and Eritreans seems to be special. I'm not even American dude, all that African American stuff you have going over there is non-existent. Even here Danes, Turks etc thinks we are black so gtfo with that shitty America-centric answer

Yes... how many times have we seem Somalis on this site alone reject being called Black?
Thats because its not the same thing. Somalis prefer to identify themselves and will not settle for european racial and social term. You can go be black. But even other black will see you differently.
 
And who the hell gave these African-Americans the right to monopolize the continent of Africa? Who the f*ck do they think they are, where they can speak in behalf of and identify the people who reside on the African continent?

Any Somali who falls for their B.S. is wilfully allowing himself to be culturally colonized under the guise of "Pan Africanism".

Fam, Africa is a vast fucking continent that's 30 million square kilometers. You have no right to categorize us as one group or even insinuate that we are the same race just because we share this continent.

To this day, I haven't seen one shred of evidence that points to Somalis being in anyway related to West Africans or Southern Africans. All the DNA and scientific evidence points to Somalis/Ethiopians falling under their own umbrella and being their own race.

But these stupid Black-wannabe Somalis want to ignore their rich history and heritage and adopt the "Black struggle". It's despicable.

I hear Madows blatantly say upfront that they don't view Somalis and Ethiopians to be of the same race as them. Yet these idiotic Somalis want to keep begging to be included with them.

Somalis/Ethiopians/Eritreans comprise 140 million people and occupy a substantial portion of Africa. For them to categorize us as the same race as West Africans shows to me how little they know about anthropology.
 
I have never been called black in my life. I am serious. Maybe you guys all look like Fufus. siilaanyolaugh

It's so weird wallahi.

I've been mistaken for Sudanese or Ethiopian on some rare occasions, but I've almost always been identified as Somali....regardless of who I encountered. But these stupid Black-wannabe Somalis want to erase our differences and turn us into something we aren't.

Mulattoes in Brazil never had such a rule but even there they are viewed as Black by the whiter people.

They are race-beggers and they don't hold the somali identity very high and trying to find a new home. Honestly they are all the same, "We are arabs", "we are black" crowds all steem from deep insecurity in oneself.

Brazil has like 5 different color categories and many that are what you and I would call black dont even self-identify as black. You have no idea what you are talking about.

@Kaafiye LOL

When most people think of Africa they imagine mudhuts and black tribal people. Nevermind the people up North or in the East or South.

Our very identity is under attack by these degenerate self-hating Somalis. They claim that they have love for our culture and people yet they're allowing our people to be categorized and defined by African-American language terms. I refuse to stand for this.

:comeon:

So if the White man views you as living in mudhuts and using spears, you're just gonna agree with him?

:mindblown:

You're a slave through-and-through. Thank you for proving my point.

That wasn't my point.
I was saying that even in Brazil people are judged the same way based on phenotype.

The only "Somalis" claiming to be part or Arab are cadcad chicks. I personally know these chicks I think their 8th great grandfather was a Yemeni, they have more Somali blood than Yemenis but these chicks still tell people they're not Somali.
