Somali Says She Will NEVER Identify As Black While Not Living In Her Homeland

[World]

Why are we so dark then? That includes Northern Habeshas as well.

Because of where we live. If we lived for 2000 years in South Africa, we would be light skin. The Khoisan were dark skin until Cushitic nomads mixed with them, and gave them the light skin gene (slc24a5).

I made a thread on this 4 years ago:

[Man with a garuun]

either way IMO it’s only U.K. Somalis that are fighting the black identity tag for obvious reasons the rest of the diaspora are not .

This is something I've noticed as well.

 

[AbdiFreedom]

She's black af though.

 

[Qeelbax]

Ogaden= Ethiopian

Waan ku waasa wallahi. We are the reason xabashi didn’t colonize the rest of y’all.
Be grateful

 

[Prime Minister]

Somalis have main character syndrome, if that shit even exist. We got xoolo people always yelling online we no black, we no black. If you fit the category of black then its stupid to say your not, especially in the west.

Arrogance and ignorance is a deadly combo.

 

[pirater]

its always the blackest ones that say they are not black

 

[Sheikh Kulkuli]

its always the blackest ones that say they are not black

Like Tamil you mean?

Also why is there only color separation white ( slave master) & Black(Slaves)

What color coding do chinese,Japanese,Koreans Vietnamese have?

What color coding do Brazilians have?
What color coding do mexicans have?
What color coding do Indians have?
What color coding doLatinos have?

So why are youbgoing to squeeze yourself like dhuuso into a social construct created by the west to stereotype you?

Is black a culture? Do we share it
Is Black a phenotype pigmentation of skin? Do all people of same pigmentation clustered together?
Is black referencing people from Sub sahara? Subsahara is not a continent but part of Africa.
If a tamil who is different from midnight at 23:59 is not black then who is black someone that looks like under the bed?

 

[xLibaxsenderx]

Black is the more suitable identity abroad. Somalis abroad need to make more of an effort to relate with host country's population and dial down theyre nationalism.

Not 60+ its 55

Northern Habeshas are 40-45% SSA

Definitely this, the HG blood in somalis/horners is likely undercounted. Also wasn’t natufians even carrying 25% Mota like ancestry, there is no way horners are less then 50% SSA.

Lol that doesn't matter, in a formal analysis it would simply be picked up by the other SSA components. Look here.

Also wasn’t natufians even carrying 25% Mota like ancestry,

Natufians are 8-12% Mota-like, not 25.

there is no way horners are less then 50% SSA.

It doesn't matter what you think, Habesha people are never estimated above 50% SSA, there are estimates as low as 30% for North Ethio Semites, estimates of 35-45% are pretty numerous, Habeshas are no more than 50% SSA, its simply not possible.
Theres also some MENA/Eurasian-like ancestry/signals in Mota and Dinka, the 2 best current sources of our SSA ancestry.

 

[tariq moses]

English and Yoruba are terrible sources, yet this lines up pretty well to more formal estimates using more proximate samples.

That woman, is my skin colour talking trash. I know my skin is maadow. You too!

I thought the Dinka were 100% SSA.

 

[Darood]

That video was shameful and she’s young too! Somalis in the West still haven’t got the memo.
Truth is we haven’t come to terms with our own slave holding history and the racial hierarchies that came from it.

Mota is around 6-10% Eurasian, don't know about Dinka but apparently they do show some Eurasian affinities.I have a Jamaican friend who is only 10% Euro/Jewish and he plots near South Sudanese on Global PCA plots which is pretty interesting

 

[Nilotic]

Dinka with Eurasian affinities sounds absurd, but I'll have to see the data before I completely dismiss it.

 

[Shereya]

Dinka with Eurasian affinities sounds absurd, but I'll have to see the data before I completely dismiss it.

Basically, they gonna call everyone who is not a pygmies as having "Euraisan" dna (which they are starting to) which is absurd. dismiss it, you can say the same thing about Eurasians, anyone is not east EUrasian have African affinities.
