Lads on sSpot hostile, rude to the ladies?

[jemappelle]

It is indeed a travesty. You raise some valid points, and I agree with some. In general, societies look up to elevate their cultures, and not downgrade to adopt a weaker culture than their own, and it is alarming at the rate at which Somalis in the West have normalised norms from weaker cultures including those of the working class Europeans, and those of people of African decent, most notably that of the African Americans. I must say this is not just the Somalis, but is an observable trend among other cultures. For example, in France, one could observe North African Amazighs shedding their rich culture for the sake of modernity, and assimilation.

If our forefathers would have seen what we had become, they would have died multiple, if brutal deaths at own hands.

Postscript:
I disagree with the notion that Africans have been in the West for centuries, and have little to show for. East Africans have greatly benefited from the struggle of peoples of African extraction, more so of the African Americans, and are standing on the shoulders of those who came before them. We must acknowledge their struggle whilst recognising our swift advancement at their expense. Imagine had Somalis been the first poor people of dark hue to have arrived in North America.

I still struggle to fathom as to reasons lads from decent homes would misbehave badly towards the best, most resilient women on the planet. What would they want in their stead? What would they have done had they been charlatans of the weaker stock. I remain in a state of befuddlement.

Didn't you say you were from London? Why are you talking about african americans for?

I don’t know why this made me laugh. That has also been my experience as well. I’m still at a loss as to why they like these effeminate looking singers.

Because girls like young pretty boys who almost look like women.

I work for a large US based corp, and lived on the East Coast.

Still profiling?

 

[Laagite]

I am curious. I am noticing lads on the forum are so hostile, if rude to the ladies, and treat them as if lads. what is this new cultural phenomenon? what are the contributing factors?

Not me


I RESPECT wimen

You guys are allergic to madows here

I'm not. Just reporting what I see. To be honest they do deserve some credit in some areas, especially in sports achievements and entrepreneurship. Madow men seem to become successful athletes (NBA, NFL) and Madow women seem to be putting their education first, graduating at a high rate and and starting pro black business. The issue is that they are too individualistic, and won't build anything together. They just don't have a sense of community. Especially the madow men. their women constantly protest for them, but the madow men constantly turn their back on them. Then there is also their rap that promotes guns, gangs, violence, drugs, and degradation of women. Wallahi, it is the guns, gangs, violence, drugs, and degradation of women that I'm allergic to . If the younger gen of somalis copied their excellence in sports or making pro somali businesses ( the bussiness aspect we already do well in) it would have been mashallah. But no, they copy the drugs, violence, guns, gangs, and the degradation of women. And that's what's worrisome.

 

[El Nino]

The ampunt of times somalis have talked about madows will never cease to amaze, never in real life have somalis gossiped about other people. Thread had nothing to do with them.

I wouldn't know. never been there.. I can only report what I see here in the west. Tho I would like to visit and see somalia.

There is qat (khat), which is far worse, if harmful than soft drugs like cannabis, and violence is on a different scale, BUT it is not by young people with means and resources at their fingertips.

The average teenager in Somalia is polite, well-spoken, and has manners . Could the same be said about the diaspora progeny? [I should qualify to add: here on sSpot].

Absolutely nailed the slimy Linkedin recruiter corporate-babble


Old birds? Did you relocate to the East-End of London in my absence mon petit fleur?lol

I'm familiar with the vernacular given the strong Reer UK presence here.

I even heard Fish and Chip Abdis have a certain fondness for herbal elixirs and middle-aged qumayos?

I think not. I am against debasing one's culture to the lowest form of degeneracy, and decadence. should you must, and I see no reason one should, then try punching upwards. Have some 'qab', 'han', 'fukhur', and 'gurur' ya 3iyal al gurbah.

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

You aren't somali

Mea appellation should be a dead giveaway.

Are you sophisticate?

Are you sophisticate?

What is that?

 

[NordicSomali]

Random ladies on the internet don't deserve special treatment other than what's normal, its better to say things the way you think it should be said.

Fish and Chips Abdis have a certain fondness for any member of the opposite sex who likes to stay home and doesn't make them drop £100+ on meals
