I believe one aspect of it, is they don't live in the best of neighborhoods. Most Somalis live in housing projects in Toronto and whatnot. Living in those types of areas I believe predisposes one to a lot more trouble. I've been there a few times myself, and I saw a store selling really old looking T.V.'s and some run-down looking houses, Maybe where I live is more up to par with our times, but I was like hmm . It's a variable of things I suppose.
yep. these euro dudes above think ppl are just copycating a culture of their own free will. growing up in these neighbourhoods that's literally all u know, and it's hard af to get out of
if anyone's to blame it's some of the parents who choose to live there despite having the means to live somewhere else as well as the system. AUN to the victim

Its not the neighborhood. I grew up in a neighborhood where there is higher crime but I didn't end up in that lifestyle. Somali parents can't raise their kids.
These neighborhoods have hundreds of ethnicities living there but its just the Somalis and carribean people doing crimes.
Its called bad parenting.
RIP to the man.
can u guys not speak on shit u dont know? that shit is patronizing af, ur literally just postulating and hypothesizing from ur lil quiet ass cadaan neighbourhoods in some swedish backwater
Nah the young Somalis themselves created this shit. They look up to drug dealers and rappers and tries to be like them. They influence the younger Somalis who becomes the next losers. It's like those shitty diasporas who goes to Somaliland and smokes weed and drinks. They are rotten to the core, and only they can change it. I don't buy into that class thing, not in this case. Unlike AA Somalis have their own culture, yet the Somalis there blatantly copies the black Americans.
How hard is it find a regular job in Canada?

Somali parents think they are free of responsibility, they want the system and streets to raise their kids or local mosque.
sxb u cant really compare somalis from different countries at face value like that. the circumstances are all different. yeah you might like rap music but there's no reason to emulate what u do in it it and if you do you're an idiotI live in a Danish neighborhood filled with Turks and Kurds bro.
I have seen how Somali-Canadians behave. If it wasn't for their Somali features you would think they were African Americans. Me, my brothers and cousins love rap, but we are smart enough to not have anything to do with that lifestyle. Drug dealing and killing people ain't funny. Somali-Canadians and the ones in MN seems to be the most retarded of our diaspora community. The ones in the Arab countries are the best ones
read kulaha. do u not see how that's patronizing? u think u can read some shit on the internet and khalaas you can speak on and judge the lives (and deaths) of people thousands of miles from you. i'll give you an example of why this approach is flawed, you say that asians live in these same neighbourhoods and they don't end up in the same lifestyle. do you know that as an absolute fact? you don't, and it's tantamount to hearsay. and surprise, you're completely wrong...but you wouldn't know that in your arrogance would you?How is that patronizing? I read alot about it ,read statistics ,sociology reports, studies. Tried to form a deeper complex understanding of it. I'm sorry it isn't a feel good point the blame the other way narrative that you are used to.
Parents are trying to shield their kids from harmful influences the best they can. They are not familiar with western culture hip hop this and all other influences this is not Somalia where they know how things work.
All they know how to respond to it is send their kids to the mosque cuz that's the only familiar thing they know and they cannot trust a unfamiliar surrounding.
@Geeljire, that's why I said it's a variable of things you ape.

but just because this is true for u doesnt mean it is for others. you think rap was created in a vacuum? that shit is real life for somalis in NA bro, it's not the same

sigh, it has nothing to do with the lovely collection of buzzwords above. it's nothing more than peer pressure and conforming to the current status quo in those neighbourhoods. if u have any sort of social life, you will be caught up to some extent, that's just the reality and no bullshit cadaan expert can say otherwise. i know it's hard to fathom leaving ur house and interacting with people but c'est la vieThere is no reason to emulate because there is no expectations to conform into black identity of becoming this marginalized other.
There is not a Huge populous of Somalis in scandinavia fighting to be called black and there is no pressure to be this "black" person either.
u judge their deaths by proxy of judging their life choices which led to some of their deaths, by making them seem like they're just some dumb kids who copy what they see on tv. u say u dont look down on them, but it sure seems like it. you give off an air that ur above people simply because ur a sheltered kid who fills his head with a bunch of confirmation bias he reads on the internet. oh you dont? just look at the bolded. ur posts wouldn't look out of place on r/iamverysmartI do not look down Somalis in Canada.
And btw I didn't judge the deaths of anyone wtf are you talking about?
Yes I can actually form an opinion and understanding from reading expert analyzes of issues that pertain somali youth in Canada. Unlike some people i actually read and debate and i love doings so.
Hersay my rubber butt keep pushing some MTV narrative.
You are a 16 year old kid who acts like he's completing a phd thesis in sociology at princeton. You have been sheltered your entire life which is not a bad thing but these issues are a complete black box to you that will never understand. Your entire worldview is myopic and you think you can understand this problem by reading the obscure charts produced by academics in their ivory towers. What a joke.
