the concept of blackness and being a coon

[Loriox]

Saudi is an ethnicity. Arab would take the place of "race". Somali is both an ethnicity and nationality

Arab isn't a race though

There you failed again Arabs are one race and am talking about the true desert arabs they have one father.... how can arabs be black I guess you never heard " ya aswad"

lie down intaana is xanujinin...

 

[TheMadMullah]

LMAO what?

Arab isn't a race, true Arabs are Bedouins of Southern Arabia. Levant people (Lebanon, Syria, etc) are non-Arab with some Bedouin (true Arab) ancestry, just like how a BLACK person can have Bedouin ancestry.

Well I do agree the levant is full of none arabs just like we have some none ethnic Somalis in Somalia ie Bantus and Shaanshis or even the half Madow Somalis in the west

 

[DuctTape]

Arab isn't a race though

It's more of a pan-ethnic label.
The Levantine Arabs and some North Africans, as well as some Sudanese are pretty much close to 100% non-Arab. Yet they're still considered Arab. It's like Latinos. The classification is cultural, not ethnic.

 

[Netero]

Saudis are the the custodians of harameyn so yes they decide who is arab and not and to some degree who is Muslim or not

 

[OmarLittle]

Arab isn't a race though

Correct, it's not an official race. But, if Arab was an ethnicity, then all Arabs would have everything in common or -- Somalis, Oromos etc would be an ethnicity since they're genetically close.

Can we stop comparing ourselves to them? Our history, miscegenation patterns, racial groups, etc are not similar to the Arabian peninsula at all. You're making this more complicated than it was before.

From my understanding, Somalis ever since they accepted Islam, they have been close with the Arabs and had major influences, so were kinda close. I don't think Somali history was written before Islam came that I know of. However, other than ultra-religious groups, I don't see any Somalis kissing Arabs asses. My family hate Arabs and consider them inferior

 

[Netero]

It's becoming more and more clear to me that the black label is owned by African Americans. They are the most obsessed with it and have the most stake in it. Why? It's because for them it is not a race. For them it is an ethnicity. I already have my own so they can have black.

This isn't about how close we are to them, but rather how he needs to stop using our history as a metaphor, it's not making it easier to understand.

they still have a weird attitude about arabs whether they kiss their ass or not lmao. look at the madmullah's comment above and you'll see what I mean. they see them as having more god-given power than them or something whether they hate them or love them

[Knowthyself]

when it comes to people who have a cultural identity that transcends race and nationality, like latinos and arabs, they come in many different racial mixes but why is it that it's always the black ones that get bullied into accepting a racial identity. sudanese arabs and dominicans get called coons while their white skinned counterparts don't identify with europeans and aren't expected to even though they have substantial ancestry from them.


this is not a topic about who's black and what it means so please don't go there this is about why black is ostracized from every community

is this about "coonery" or who and what is considered black?

I can't watch this. This some next level coonery. Real Life Uncle Ruckus

The Martin Luther Kang reference was nice touch. :siilaanyolaugh:

What the hell is this shit
There are respectable black people and then there are like this man right here

Somali twitter has the biggest inferiority complex when it comes to Arabs. They bring Arabs up everyday & drag them for no reason. The other day when that Somali model landed a vogue cover, all I saw were tweets saying that "Arabs could never." Instead of celebrating Somali success, you're out here bringing up Arabs into this?
When Somalis/Black Muslims get hurt/injured, they cry on twitter about how their Arab masters aren't giving attention to it, about how it's so hard to be "black and muslim" and ignored from both sides. When will yall realise that nobody (besides us) gives a f*ck about people who don't belong to their ethnic group? Instead of crying about how yall campaign for Palestine and they don't do the same for you, STOP CAMPAIGNING FOR PALESTINE LMAO.
The harsh reality is that suffering occurs in every corner of the world, you can't be a saviour for everyone so instead focus on your own ethnic group and allow others to focus on theirs.

 

[NAF]

This also applies to black people. We need to stop this "Pan-Africanist support all blacks" bs. A Nigerian doesn't give a f*ck about what happens in Somalia, and I don't give a f*ck about what happens in Nigeria.
To suggest that anybody with some degree of African ancestry should identify as black and fight for a unified cause is ridiculous and reeks of an inferiority complex.

 

[Assata]

I keep forgetting most of y'all are not from America. The reason black is so inclusive is when slavery still existed in America the one drop rule was law.

If even one drop of negro blood could be traced back in your lineage than technically you were black. The one drop law is still prevalent all around the world today.
