R/africa discussing if Somalis believe their arabs or not

[gasara]

stop the cap. diaspora maybe but majority of people north of gaalkacyo truly believe their forefathers were arabs and consider themselves as arabs.

Why are you telling me to stop the cap on an experience that I’ve been through They would never call themselves descendant from Arabs as these people have too much pride. Idk what North of Gaalkacyo means. What places are there.

I’m Somali. There’s too many cities how should I know. I don’t even know the cities here in Canada I only remember visually. It’s in Galmudug I know that place.

Lowkey I’ve only heard of this conversation online never irl in the diaspora or back home.

You’re right, nobody seems to believe this irl, I’ve only ever heard of this online from people back home.

gaalkacyo is the border city between puntland and galmudug. he's saying everyone from puntland and up are arab wannabes

Look what I just seen on twitter

wasn’t this waaq thing debunked?? I swear pan Africanists would cut their own legs and kidneys off and sell it just to portray Somalis out of the fold of Islam

Wdym debunked? You can still see little bits of the religion in our country today. In our language and even towns.

Wouldn't be shocked if it was from that Island. I'd be more shocked if it was an American Somali or Canadian saying it.

Somalis dont know tht when these people classify u as arab they mean ur not African. They want an excuse to say tht our land is not ours but really belongs to them. It doesnt help tht we have some.self haters who think being arab makes them close to the prophets so they say they are and they look down on these people(bantus and others) but while theyre doing tht they dont know tht some of these people think we are foreign to our own land. Which knowing whts happening with palestine and israel. It should not be a welcomed thought

madows have an unhealthy obsession with somali features and our features ancestry

We have the features they want. Thts why when i see "somalis are ugly" memes coming from them it makes me laugh. I see how they love loose hair(we have it), they love small nose(we have tht), light shades(some of us got it). They hype up ethopians even though we look better

They are utterly insecure you can smell the insecurity on them it reeks. These are the same people who get S curls, Jheri curls, and ethnic rhinoplasties, pretending they have an Indian relative to seem more ambiguous. They like Ethiopians more because of Islamophobia, even though those raw meat eaters don’t like them either. Lol.

Omg telll me about it!! they act as if we arent seeing them change their hair and brag about being mixed lol they also HATE nappy hair more than we do. I first clocked their love for ethopians and hate 4 us was due to islamophobia when my african(kenyan or sudan) co worker said we somalis arent black or african. So just to see if he was being an asshole i asked wht about ethopians and he said they are african thts when i knew wht it really was about.

It’s crazy how they come for Somalis like it’s a joke, but the moment Somalis clap back, they play the biggest victims on the planet—giving major psychological issues. My friend used to be cool with a Jamo girl who would constantly make Somali jokes, especially about foreheads. But the second my friend made a joke about her nose, she lost it and started calling her racist. LOOOL. Another time, my friend went to a Nigerian salon in South London, and the stylist kept asking if she was mixed. When she said no, the woman PERMED her hair without telling her. It fell out in clumps, and she had to shave it all off. Madness.

Soon as u joke with some one and they get mad tht means they werent making jokes. Tht jamo girl was insulting and didnt like the "jokes" coming back to her. Yes ive heard about those jealous stylists. Its best to just get a somali one. I remember getting box braids and the girls asked me if i put something in my hair cuz its so long and soft but it was box braids so they couldnt put any perm or whatever luckly. Lol stories like tht scare me.
