It means nappy hair but could be used in a derogatory way.

Some of them look down on our type of hair and call us jareer aka hard hair.

Thats why I said its the n word of somalis

I think we're black. But a lot of people on coli don't consider us black. Somalis go by tribes first before skin colour

 

[ChiefQueen]

Are Somalis black?

It varies for every Somali. Some identify as such others dont. Somalis have a lot of admixture and many have Arab grandparents etc.

Idk, I dont claim mixed but ppl have been saying it to me since elementary school. I'm just of a lighter complexion and my facial features and hair are different like many ppl in my family.
