Somalians on Ummah Forum regarding to Black Lives Matter

[Regg]

So far, what I've read on the recent threads in Ummah forum and the Somalian language thread is that Somalians are deeply divided on whether they should be classified as black or not.

- Some identify themselved as Black and support the BLM cause because they felt the Ummah has abandoned them.

- Some criticize UF Somalians for supporting the BLM cause and view themselves as Somalian only. For instance, the prominent radical feminist Zaitoonah is leading behind the anti-BLM movement while advocating Somalian nationalism.

- Some identify themselves as Arabs and Causasians, and refuse to associate themselves with the African continent.

My question is what do you identify yourself exactly? What do you see in the mirror?

It is pathetic for a lot of Somalis to try to categorize themselves as Arabs/Caucasians because they're the popular race right now. But as soon as the rest of the world starts liking blacks in the future, maybe hundreds of years from now, Somalis would not hesitate to align themselves with blacks.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, Somalis are black, full stop. Regardless if we have Caucasian or Arab DNA

Nigga f*ck off. We are Somali. I dislike people like you that try to force white made terms on us. You wanna identity by a skin color go ahead. Some of us wanna identify based on ancestry, culture, language etc.

Judging from how you keep saying "Somalian" you are clearly an outsider so tell us what your ethnicity is first of all @Regg

White made terms or not, we're still black. Stop trying to be a self-hater.

That's the dumbest statement I've seen today. Black people aren't really black either, they have brown skin too. Did you honestly think black people had just pitch black skin?

Warya I'm Somali.

You're also black. Just like an Irish guy is white.

Not alot of wits to you is there

Maybe try using arguments instead of ad hominem for once.

Just shouting, "I'm Somali, not black!" doesn't make it true. No more than a white guy saying he's not white, he's Irish.
