[Third Kind]

If you think somalis aint black u a goofy fukk

 

[Ikwa]

you expect a poster that brags about enslaving bantu to be logical

he's telling half-truths in here.

he doesn't like other africans either...

Wtf how did her dad turn Christian?



The religious stats just blew me away. He must of transferred on his own

May have grew up in kenya or something since there are a lot of somali's there but even then he couldn't of associated with much of his own ethnic group

You sure he wasn't Eritrean or something? Christian Somalis are never born they're converts and exceedingly rare.

No she specifically told me this. I know for a fact because before her I have never met a Somolian or even seen one in my life. Or maybe I can re ask her again.

somali elders dont consider themselves black. how is this a AMA if you cant be honest.

most AFRICANS in general dont even use the term black thats only here in north america..they identify by nationality. go ask an egyptian if theyre black? most the ones i know will say they're egyptian man.

Most modern day Egyptians black though. Ask a NUBIAN Egyptian if they’re black, they will most likely say yes. I’m friends with a Nubian Egyptian, she doesn’t look like Mo Salah. She looks medium / dark skin black, more Central African features than East African but with wavey hair. She’s Egyptian and black.

Borderline insanity to think the one on the left and in the middle ain't black but a lot of people feel that ain't

its not even about how they look man the term black really isnt used in africa or outside of north america.

How does that make sense

who knows. maybe somebody else can explain it but i know somali elders dont like jamaicans.

Yes it is it’s just not the primary social marker.
As in people think Fante > Akan > Ghanaian > African > Black

But they know they black lol. It’s just last on the list because everyone is black.
