My wife is darker than me and my Son is lighter than both of us

I am so sick of colorism in the somali community, skin color does not matter, why is looking arab important when they are bombed left and right? Somalis should be proud of their history and get away from color.

Do you niggas ever get tired of having this same conversation every single day?

 

[gasara]

I don't know how the Arab part correlates to light skin but you just need to cut them off or cuss them. They should be scared of you that they would never say this to your face.

I agree with you 100%.

The most anti-Arab niggas are the ones who suffer the most from an inferiority complex. Cause what does Arabs have to do with colorism

This is so clearly a poor trolling attempt. Bizarrely adding the bombing part to a thread that is ostensibly about colorism gave it away. Do better

Colourism is part of what it means to be Somali.

I swear to god, if they see a dog shitting on their backyard the first the thing coming out of their mouth is "the Ayrabs!!"

no such thing as colorism, All Somalis families are a mix bag of dark siblings to light and Madow hair to Indian hair.

sometimes dark parents have very light children it’s genetics possibly a light skin grandparent.

That path usually ends with being a murtad

I remember my mom used to tell me "you are very light, like arab". It might just be a her thing then

Lol don't know about the North but in the south if you're light skin when you're out and about people who don't know your name will call you "carabo" to get your attention

Similar to Afar indhood, Garweyne etc

 

[Rayaale]

What should we do with this information

 

[cunug3aad]

Colourism is bad but how your child lighter than both of you? Was someone in the family a passport bro

Depending on how old the child is, it might be taking a while for the melanin to set in

 

[Farah717]

It takes time for the genes to get stronger. He will most likely be ur skin colour when he grows more.

Tell use about your knuckles

 

[Garaad Awal]

Tell use about your knuckles

I didn’t know about the knuckles thing until an old Caribbean coworker asked me to show him my knuckles cause he suspected I bleached

It’s a real easy way to find out tho, if someone is naturally light or bleached (other than the fact bleached folks look like ghosts)

You have to understand that horn African carrier the light skin gene. And once you have two brown skin people or two dark skin people that carrie that gene you can have light skin children or an sortment of colors. Now if you bother are light skin already and Carrie the gen you can have all light skin kids and one random brown skin children.
