My blackness was always doubted by my African American friends, I felt like I always had to prove myself.

Yes I'm black when I meet a white person.
But I'm Somali when I meet a black person.

I'll never compromise my identity for a cause that may not even include me.

Having dark skin doesn't equate to being black. How do you account for Somalis who have straight hair? Are you going to say that they are mixed with Arabs? This is not a primary afro feature.

Somalis don’t have straight hair, stop lying. The average somali person has type 3 hair which is curly, curly hair is common across all africans. Some somalis have straight hair but they are a minority of minorities, most have type 2 hair and consider that “straight” when it’s really wavy.

I’m being straight up I refuse to accept a label identity, the white man pseudo-scientifically invented. I only accept the identity label that my ancestors identified with.

Why can't people say I'm Somali and end it. Like, I really don't get it. You don't flex your heritage, just claim you're Somali and call it a day.
