Brother, the term "black" was coined by non-Africans and doesn't capture our true identity. Its definition varies widely depending on societal context, especially in the Americas, where race lacks universal standardization and is subject to cultural interpretation. In Brazil, for instance, even siblings may be classified differently based on appearance. The controversy over a South African artist identifying as "colored" highlights how fluid racial categorization can be, with the same person potentially labeled differently in America. This stems from American societal indoctrination, which influences global perspectives on race. Our heritage and ancestry trace back generations, predating modern labels. Many of us first encountered the term "black" in North America; some don’t mind it, while others prefer not to use it. Personally, I don't mind using the term to describe myself, but it doesn't fully capture my identity. People should be free to identify as they choose without controversy. Look at the NBA: many mixed-race players are procreating with white women, will soon be raising questions about the definition of "black." Foundational Black Americans and caribbeam blacks will soon need to reconsider their own definitions of blackness. When I identify with my origin, I feel a deeper connection than just skin color. Btw, growing up in the West, whenever I identified as black, it was often other "blacks" who questioned that. Only recently have people stopped questioning East Africans' blackness and instead wondered why we don't all accept the term.

[@Baddyusi]

oh Allah somalis identity is a topic again. any Somali you ever meet who is aware of colonialism white supremacy will tell you that they are black because they are aware we all share the common struggles in Africa and diaspora blacks. with that being said it is really unfair to single out Somalis when the same thing exists among other Africans including Western Africans. they often rep their tribe more than their shared struggles. They cannot distinguish blackness from their tribe/nationality/ethnicity. lastly, Somalis and other horn Africans are not mixed with Indians at all we don't share the same genes. that is just rubbish. There are other Africans that look like us in west Africa google Fulanis, and they look similar to us, are they mixed with Indians? africa is a massive continent we are diverse.

A darkskin Indian would not be considered Black because “Black” is term used to describe darkskined or melanated people from Sub-Saharan Africa. So that Indian person would just be considered Indian. Somalis are Black. It’s undeniable that Black immigrants (whether it being Jamaicans or Somalis) have put on for the culture here in Toronto, and it’s considered Black Canadian Toronto culture. Somalis, Ethiopians and Eritreans are literally all under the “Black” category in the Canadian census. This is all internet talks.

[@maxcali863]

We Somalis first encountered the term "Black" when we moved to the West in 1990. We observed that descendants of slaves identified with this term. In Africa, where everyone has melanin, we identify with our ancestry, ethnicity, and tribe, specifically as Somali. We noticed that those identifying as "Black" were primarily of West African and Central African descent. If "Black" were based solely on melanin, then Indians, specifically Dravidians, would also be considered "Black," but this is not the case. Therefore, what does "Black" mean? Africa is the most genetically diverse continent, and North Africans are genetically more related to Somalis than to West or Central Africans. So, what is "Black"? It appears to be a term tied to urban culture and heritage, used by people who were stripped of their ancestry and do not know where they were taken from. These individuals adopted the term "Black" because they lost their specific identities and had to conform to a term created by their slavers, forming a new tribe in the Western Hemisphere. The question then arises: should those of us who know our ancestry and identity abandon it? Should we trade our ancestral identity for this new term, or should we honor and preserve the dignity of our ancestors by keeping their name? We have been Somali for 10 Thousand years before the English Language was created, before These social constructs were created, we have been Somali before the concept of Race become Black,White,Yellow, Red, and Brown. When they say "how dare you not claim Black, the same question can be asked of those claiming the title. How dare you adhere to a European concept as an Melinan person, When the Native has rejected the European for calling him Red, when the Chinese has rejected the European man for call him Yellow. Some of our young people like the Urban Culture and may jump on the "Black" thing but no cultured Somali actually believes he/she is Black.

[@TheRealTruth533]

Somali people are more attracted to Islam religion and Arab identity. They were enslaved and conquered by Arabs ( Arab slave trade). There culture and identity differ from Blacks in the diaspora ( Canada, US, Carribean, etc). People need to educate themselves instead of following ignorant rap beefs, behavior, etc. Read and educate yourselves.

Lucy, a 3.2 million-year old fossil skeleton of a human ancestor, was discovered in 1974 in Hadar, Ethiopia. Why reduce your history to being black ?

[@GRIMZSTREAMINGNETWORK]

Idk who gon tell u but Lucy was black 😂 so wtf u tryna say

[@FreeMindedMe]

@GRIMZTVNETWORK sir anachronism, the word you should look up . Black is a 19th century term how can lucy be black ? She's isn't even human to begin with.

Black is beautiful and comes from both east, west of Africa and other continents. Somalis are black ppl with rich heritage and culture. The definition of black and black features are not only limited to west African images.

Talk Da Tingz since I know you like to talk about things relating to Canada and so on and so forth I would like to ask are you interested in talking about the dituation at Wasaga beach as there have been reports of Indian immigrants defecating(shitting) on the beaches there so I would like to know what your thoughts on that are and that is all I have to say.

[@alpresto897]

It's not just east Africans that don't identify as black but also alot of African countries in general. The reason why Africans don't identify as black is because they see black as a title given after colonization.. most people that identify as black have been thru slavery and had alot of their history and traditions stolen.. believe it or not there's alot of Africans that haven't been thru slavery and still have connections to their family lineage and history. It's fried but it makes sense (as an idea)

[@gucci123643]

We are not Arab We are not black We are not White ….. Our language ethnicity whole identity is Somali …. Term negro/black is for Bantus who don’t know their ancestry…. All ethnic Somalis can trace their lineage thousands of years …. Our language is just as old as ancient Egyptian language…. In grade school in the west we were rejected by other Africans when already African Americans were being prejudice towards African meaning is Somalis get double the scrutiny n hate
