No somali should ever call themselves “black”

[samaalewarrior]

The black label makes absolutely no sense, even for “black” people, I once asked my friend who is “black” why “black” people are called black if they’re either light medium or dark brown, he told me when europeans came in contact with africans they noticed how dark the africans were and called them black due to their darkness, I asked why indians aren’t referred to as “black” since they’re also dark, he didn’t have an answer, to all my somalis please stop referring to yourself as a color that literally has nothing to do with your complexion, you’re somali and you should call yourself nothing but somali

I haven’t came across any other threads critiquing the “black” label in all honesty

Nigga is using a black person with an afro for his image and saying don't call me black.
Nigga you are black. No paragraph will change that.

What does any of that have to do with the color black?

If your people are from Subsaharan Africa, you're black.

Why are subsaharan africans called black?

 

[Disappointed]

Because black is the most beautiful color.

But Somalis are in the Caucasian race :siilaanyolaugh:

The more this is discussed, the more I'm actually against labelling myself Black... selectively of course.

Nobody cares what you label yourself. Society labels Somalis as black and therefore you can be a cat or a dog but people will still see you as a black man.

So far I’m not getting any real answers as to how the black label makes sense

And not too long ago society treated Blacks like dogs
