Pirate and forehead jokes doesn’t mean people were bullied. Im not even from the UK (from Scandinavia) and I got the same jokes. Its upto you to retaliate back with stereotypical disses.

This whole narrative was cooked up by somalis themselves doing diaspora FKD. Its false. Ajanabis themselves don’t even say shit like this.

We broke up and she was talking to another guy.

Probably in schools that didn’t have many Somalis.

In truth I knew that was the case before asking. This is typical of how these discord relationships work. It's quite pitiful. Back in the day I used to know this Somali nigga that was talking to this white girl on discord and bro was basically roleplaying as a jar33r while finessing her nudes. It was kind of funny ngl. Although that e-dating stuff has never been for me I'm not the type to waste TIME, that is the rub of it all. The female is sucking away your time and getting attention. It's haram as well although that goes without saying.

That’s how most Somalis gangs started in London because in the 90’s most Somalis in London ended up in the worst council estates with racist cadaans and violent madoows.

Both cadaans and madoows tried to intimidate the Somalis but the Somalis fought back and formed gangs to protect themselves.

London was so violent in the estates in the mid 2000s. You couldn’t go outside at night. The most dangerous places were at the entrance of chicken and chips stores and at parks.

I will never understand why the folks across the pond take race so serious I can understand beefing over drug territory at least they’re killing for money these folks fight and stab each other up based on the shit hole they’re fleeing it’s a joke really.

Somalis actually stopped bullying taking place on many council estates. I met a Pakistsni elderly Pakistani taxi driver who’s thankful for Somalis for taking on madows who were taking liberties in his area. The madows and Irish stopped harassing families and taking liberties when the Somalis came in and went toe to toe time with them. The fact that they picked on miskeen Somali families and or school children means nothing because Somalis never targeted those kind of people as retaliation. Somalis fought ciyaal suuqs and criminals who were often more armed and had access to support from major established crime families.


The Asians and Jamaicans had a similar issue in Birmingham btw.

 

[EainA2]

Somalis were never bullied. Some non UK Somali twisted the story. There’s a difference. We were seen as outliers only by the Jamaican community. These guys always had jealousy, like they wanted to be the only Black community.

And it's only in London

I wouldn't know abt back then but now there isn't disrespect its a respected minority i'd say about 10% of a london school depending on the school, also what probably helped was the somali restaurants opening in the last few years so now people are more interested in somali culture

How does the UK not have guns, but sounds even more violent and dangerous than Canada? Thank God my family never went to that low pay, bad weather shithole.

 

[Taintedlove]

Maybe it's because I'm a girl and girls don't violently beef over nonsense, but I never got harassed by Madows. In fact, in our first flat, we had a really lovely and helpful madow lady. She was very sweet to us.

Tbh the bullying probably happened in places where Somalis are rare.
