Somali woman says Half-Somalis are Somali regardless of qabiil and she mentions SomaliSpot

[Jaha22]

Somehow that idiot made this forum look worse than her. All that talk is pure cringe.

She's cherry picking. She fooled you into thinking this whole "chat" was about having a "dialogue with the Somali people". Really she just wanted ammo from us mean "Somalis" to reassure her confused heart about the choices she's made in life. Look how she runs to her ajnabi followers like she's doing reconnaissance. She's lost in life. I was born in Britain and I wouldn't call myself British. The goal is to rebuild our country and give my children the gift I was robbed of. The experience of living in their homeland. This cow was blessed to be born there and claims America as her home. She doesn't have Somalia in her future and she knows it. Why else did she attempt a relationship with an ajnabi. If it worked out could she convince him to live in Somalia once it gets better? Lol obviously not. She's invested herself in a life in America and honestly that's fine. But why does she have to pretend she's down for the cause?

Somali people listen up. I don't blame you if you were born here and don't have much of a connection to our home. Maybe you don't speak the language well enough, Maybe you don't know about the culture. Maybe, even, you don't really care to learn. That's fine. But you can't live like an ajnabi but also try to be patriotic to Somali culture. It doesn't make sense. That's like an Englishman growing up in Germany with no intention of learning English getting butt hurt that English people don't identify with him.

I would say to Somalis make up your mind which camp you're in. But in the case of @ifkanolosha you've already made you choice. So stop ing and whining and raise your child to be proud of and identify with both halves of him. Don't put your confused agenda on that poor little boy.

I agree with what you said but even if she's cherrypicking those kind of words shouldn't come out of any Somali's mouth. It's embarrassing to say the least.

Half Somalis will NEVER be full Somali, the day we accept that nonsense is the day we lose our identity. Most times mixed race people in various societies are placed on a pedestal, in Somalia we do the opposite.

She married a non somali now her kids are only african american cause that's what her husband is, she needs to get over it, you left the community when you wed him The kids ALWAYS take after the father, I have a male cousin who married AA, the kids look somali, they are somali. I have an aunt who married caadan, the kids look white not somali, my aunt pushes the label of somali onto them but when I asked them what they check at school they told me white.

**in america they usually do tests to test the education levels at schools**

Lol, somalis think we follow the one drop rule like madow people. Nahhhh

 

[Jaha22]

Everything I've said aside if you're half and half anything I feel for you. Identity and fitting in will always be hard for you. I certainly don't wish for any half Somali to feel rejected or despondent about fitting in. As long as you know your dhaqan you'll be fine. And keep your family (both halves) close. Just because I don't believe you can represent Somalia in no way means I believe you should feel like an outcast. Everyone deserves to feel loved and accepted in this world.

Even if you agree to disagree that we are all human beings first and that half Somalis are just as Somali as full ones. Please use respectful words and don't make ur point look silly.

With that said, I believe the mother is also wrong. She cherry picked the worst comments and broadcasted to the world when so many of us disagreed with them. She could have also showed our comments too but obviously it didn't play into her motives.

I say, Say no to any form of negativity but also try to focus on the positive.

I've been a long time lurker on here but this whole half-somalis thing really got me motivated to actually participate. Soooo, here we go.

Wanna know if you're Somali? Luckily, theres a simple test will let you know!

Complete the following sentence: I am Somali ___

1. If all you had to do was add a PERIOD to complete the sentence..CONGRATULATIONS!! you are Somali.
Ex: I am Somali.
2. However, if you had to add any additional nationalities or races or whatever (basically anything besides a period), you are NOT somali.
Ex: I am Somali and Dutch.

Our biracial brothers and sisters should know the importance of claiming there FULL heritage. It is disingenuous and unfair to your "other side" to completely disown them by claiming you are Somali. BE PROUD!! You have your own identity, no need to force square pegs into round holes. We love you the same regardless!

I agree. Are you from Somali Twiiter too?

 

[KULTA]

My god her somali is disgusting!

 

[AsSomaliAsNec]

No, I don't have an account or anything but I have checked out some of the bigger stories on there (like that charity scam thing this past Ramadan loool) but it just seems too toxic on there.

I would've liked your comment if u didn't have the first bolded part, which contradicts the second bolded part. Anyone with an ethnically Somali dad is Somali, period.

This is nonsense. Somalis fully accept somalis with ajanabi moms and Somali dads. What's up with this site and pushing the whole 'all half somalis aren't Somali' thing. I've been noticing it more and more. Any Somali with a qabiil is a Somali, regardless of what his mother is.

Utter hogwash. Cajiib, ileen the youngins on the right are also redefining Soomaalinimo just like those SJW/BLM's on the far left. To you guys all half-Somalis are not Somali, even if their aabo is Somali. And to these SJW/BLM types all half-Somalis are Somali, even if they have no qabiil. You are both wrong according to Somali culture.

No one is redefining anything walaal. If your father is Somali, yes you take up his lineage, name, tribe association and all that. However, that doesn't make you Somali. Why are you deny these individuals their identities. Its not a matter of opinion, its fact. They are of mixed background. They represent however many races or groups they are mixed with. They can't say I'm Somali, they must add to that whatever group they actual are.

Its a black and white situation, no gray areas here. I don't understand what would lead to to think otherwise.

 

[jugjugwacwac]

why is she invested in somali culture if she's married to madoow?
naa naga aamus inkaar kuugu dhacdaye.

Now that the madow has left her and she's realized she has no community to turn to, she's suffering from buyers remorse. She's older now and can see clearly that she's messed up really bad, so now she wants to see if there's a chance Somalis will accept her and her child back into the fold despite her mistakes. If we accept her without her showing any remorse, then she gets to have her cake and eat it too. If we reject her, she'll just rationalize it as proof that we're bad people and also use it to justify to herself why she went for an ajanabi in the first place. If she can truly convince herself that we're a bad and heartless people based on our reactions, then she can cope better with her and her son being outcasted from Somali society.

My problem is with her approach. It takes an unbelievable amount of arrogance to violate the most sacred aspects of ones culture and then turn around and ask people to change the rules just for you, because you don't like being shamed and judged. If she had just been honest and said 'hey, I was young and I made a huge mistake. I feel remorse for what I did, and now I want to be a part of my community again', Somalis, being the kind-hearted and forgiving people they are, would have welcomed her back and even treated her kid well. We wouldn't view him to be a Somali, but we'd treat him well because he has no blame in any of this and at the end of the day abti baa loo yahay wiilka. As for her marriage prospects to a Somali man, then that will understandably be low given her past, and sometimes u just gotta pay a current price for a past vice.

 

[Coulombs law]

What is wrong with you western raised hemorrhage suffering retards?

You are somali if you have a qabiil, period. We have a culture that is based on patriarchy. If you don't like it that's fine but don't deny people with a lineage their right to claim Somali.
