People change so to think dynamically is important when assessing issues. There is power in cohesion and voting as a block to leverage some advantage in democratic governments. Somalis can vote as black and as Somalis depending on the need. It is good to be recognized as an ethnic group separate from others though it carries a risk as you stated. The risks come with who is in power. Powers change hands. If Somalis work for the better as a community, this will eventually benefit them. In America, Somalis have influence for this reason. They vote as a block.

SOMALIS ARE THE MOST ANTI SOCIAL ETHNIC GROUP IN THE WORLD YOU DONT GET ALONG WITH OTHER SOMALIS HENCE 30 YEAR WAR SO WHY WOULD I EXCECT THEM TO BE GROUPED WITH OTHERS AND GET ALONG WITH THEM IM COOL WITH BOTH
Another benefit for Somalis to be recognized officially as a group is the preservation of their lineage through documents. If every Somali born in the west registers as Somali, their lineage will forever be present as long as governments keep archive birth records. Think the opposite and if Somalis registered as Africans only. Tracing Somalis in the West later would be difficult as there would be no records separate specifying what Ethnicity among Africans were Somalis.
In America, Somalis vote as black for the general elections and as Somalis locally.

That is not accurate. You take a family feud too seriously to mean anything among Somalis. We fight each other but unite against others. This is the true spirit of most Somalis with few exceptions. These exceptions are online members with no solid Somali culture, most of them born in the west and ignorant of how Nomads back home roll. We hold our ethnicity sacred.

Just say your Habeshit and move on. with that rasta loooking pfp. your kind worship a monarch who's remains were uncovered under a toilet.
your kind don't care for your own otherwise the Tigrayans wouldn't have all the best weapons nor the Oromos taking over a city you built. can't wait for you guys to become the next red Indians.Attachments
There is an automatic kinship given to you by Somalis when they recognize you as a Somali in the streets here in America. You get help from them for free whether it is a ride you need to get to somewhere or an information you need to get something done. There are Somali oriented businesses, legal offices, pharmacies all built and started by Somalis who wanted to serve their community. There is Somali-something everywhere.
Despite the political corruption back home and men who serve Ethiopia and Kenya ruling each Somali region, average Somalis in Somalia have no issues with other Somalis. There is difference between the corrupt political class and the buffoons who support them online and average Somalis everywhere.
These same kids show up for Somali cultural celebrations and party. You can't blame them for their mixed culture that is both American and Somali. They are born here after all. But Abdis are still Abdis no matter where they were born.
The educated sometimes overthink simple issues which an average Somali Nomad celebrates. Like being a Somali and recognized as One by others. They should worry less and embrace the new addition on the government related forms.
You can buy train tickets in Somali in Minnesota. They programmed the ticket vending machines with the Somali option. For older adults who can't speak proper English but who can speak/read/write Somali, that is a service they can appreciate. Now, imagine about some educated Somali being overly concerned about the Somali language drawing the attention of some white angry person who thinks America lost its way by accommodating Somali speaking customers? Should society give a f*ck about that lousy ignorant opinion? heck no.

Time to upgrade jobs and look into Truck driving.
According to Google search, An experienced Truck driver makes $50, 000 per year on average.
