"Somali's Had To Fight Just To Be Normal" || Halfcast Podcast

I used to go to school with Somali’s and they are the most jokes people out there. I dunno how ppl cannot love them 🤣

[@SuperWadman]

[@azih8626]

Can't lie, they do it to themselves. Any community that barricades themselves, only marries themselves and fucks with their own will fall victim to some sort of hate, and in this case its more of a curiosity/jealousy kinda hate. In my opinion, they have a stronger sense of identity than others, and there is inherently nothing wrong with wanting to not date interracially, but others who are ok to mingle with the whole world will see this as a chance to attack. As beautiful as Somali girls are, who am I to attack them if they only want to date/marry people who they share a culture, language, religion and many other things with? At the same time, there are a few Somalians who got this superiority complex about them that no other group of blacks possess , where they think they are better than other blacks cause of their features e.g. lighter skin, curlier hair etc. Blacks already have enough on their plate than to blindly accept a group who secretly think they are better than us.

[@Raidou10]

@@azih8626 I would say the superiority complex stems from being told that we're not black our whole lives to the point where some would deem it useless to keep arguing and differentiate ourselves from other black people. It's definitely not a good thing but It's a counter for some to the whole 'Somalis aren't black black' talk.

This was so real. Growing up in London the Somalis had it baaadddd. Close to where I lived in woolwich was notorious for somali gangs so that didn't help as well.

this world is crazy , Somalis use to look down on white people, Oddly the slaves of the white man are looking down on Somalis lol . this is what the white man said about the Somalis . Gerald Hanley is an old Colonial hand who lived with Somalis. This is from his book Warriors: Life and Death Among the Somalis "A Somali always felt himself to be twice as good as any white man, or any other kind of man at all, and still does, even when he is wrong. They have no inferiority complexes, no wide-eyed worship of the white man's ways, and no fear of him, of his guns or of his official anger. They are a race to be admired, if hard to love. But of all the races of Africa there cannot be one better to live among than the most difficult, the proudest, the bravest, the vainest, the most merciless, the friendliest; the Somalis."

I really enjoyed this podcast, particularly the conversation about Somali people fighting to just be. It took me back to school days and how they were really isolated. However, I have to declare at university the Somali sisters were some of the most beautiful and humble individuals I had ever met. Even some of the older men I have encountered have great morale and humility. I grew up in Bristol, there is a humongous Somali community there. Though I got to know them more in London, when I studied at university Peace ✌🏽

[@ShahMahiUddin]

I know exactly what they were talking about, I went to school in the early/mid 2000s and Somali brothers were unfairly judged, its crazy as I went to a majority ethnic Jamaican/Arab school so It was all internal racism. I also had similar treatment myself as a Bangladeshi lad in a majority Pakistani after school Mosque, which seems unlikely as we were all muslim, but the ignorance was rife. Hopefully something we as a new generation of elders can start to change through these conversations and teaching the youth.

[@alibumaye5155]

Can you explain more? I always took it as Somalis sticking to themselves and others viewing them as arrogant.

[@ShahMahiUddin]

@@alibumaye5155 Yeah they were never arrogant, thats the same assumption many racist and ignorant people usually have of any minority "oh these lot dont integrate etc etc" When in reality they are just minding their own business. People naturally have pack mentalities and even if they have been oppressed themselves, sometimes they will mirror how they were treated to others which is what used to happen in school as that was the new community. Thankfully that was a long time ago, but internal racism amongst minority communities who think they are better than other minority communities is something that still happens a lot so we should all collectively call people out when they do it.

@@ShahMahiUddin makes sense. Can you describe the racism? I'm from the US not UK. Did they just talk trash?

@@alibumaye5155 I mean one example would be saying the Somali brothers were like "Fake black, or not real black men" Stuff that was not only insulting but very disrespectful to the identity of the community. Then you had the usual trash talk & insulting psychical features of somebody that looks different to you type stuff. In terms of internal racism it would be the communities that had been in the area longer thinking they were all of a sudden better than the new community even after they themselves suffered from racism when they first came, which is a sad reality of human behaviour.

There are so many relevant black women that could have been sitting in Mariah's spot instead of her.

I find this problematic as it feels like she is choosing what she feels is relevant to the image she's trying to garner. Tbh all of the Moroccans I know exclusively want to be identified as Arabs and do not consider themselves black (they look more European) or African in any way but to affirm it's their home continent. If she were to be more open about her background, be proud of her Asian and North African heritage, that everything else will organically fall into place. She honestly screams fake, beg friend, cultural appropriator type and it's a shame because she could do a lot more with her background and influence.

I think they should do a podcast I mixed raced people in the U.K. and how they identify. I am seeing a lot of mixed people hanging around with white men, which is bizarre in this brexit climate. I’ve also noticed black slang crossing over to the white community via mixed people. Also mixed people representing “black” opinion in tv. And mixed people like Chaka dissing black men for dating white women even though he has a white mum. Lots to talk about👍🏾

I don't know about Somalis in other parts of London but in my School in East London it was 40% Asians 30%Black 20%White and 10%Somalis. When the Jamaicans used to take the piss of African names like Nigerians and Somalis we used say you the only people who have whites people's names compare to every other culture and are still worship a white jesus's and obey them.

This was great conversation. Being black, being African has many different looks and none is better than the other. Black people, whether African or from the diaspora, should be enthusiastic to learn about one another always, so we can grow further into unity and as a solid community. Thank you! ❤️

[@azakzaak1691]

The thing about immigration is that the old immigrants will feel threaten by new immigrants. The old immigrants target new immigrants as new immigrants struggle to find their feet. In the UK when Somalis arrived 90’s they have faced a lot of pushback and hostility from Caribbeans who were already in the UK a half century earlier. The additional problems were that Somalis are distinctive in appearance and proud and don’t blend. They keep to themselves due to religious and cultural observation. That made them even target as it was interpreted as arrogance. Somali kids were bullied and harassed constant. On the other hand from the beginning when they arrived, Caribbean people had to fight to mingle and be accepted by the white community. So these two opposite mindset had clashed. This mindset difference still exists though not in a hostile way as it was in the 90’s.

Im sudanese from Darfur, whats worse is that your own fellow Sudanese people look down upon you just because we look more "African" than the sudanese that look more "Arab". Its sad really, im too African to be a Sudani. This is Sudan government mentality and Bashir has got to go. Not coming at you, but letting you know that the same way you are treated by arabs and other Africans is the same way Darfuri people are treated by fellow Sudanese people.

[@saraxo6448]

Nusaiba Abdelgabbar it’s nice to meet you Ukhti ❤️I didn’t specify where I am from in Sudan so you can’t assume that I am an Arab Sudanese. But my mom is a light north sudanese woman whereas my dad is Eritrean/east sudanese. This means I have experienced this colourism within Sudan aswell as between countries (obviously not to your degree). I have been blessed with the melanin and Eritrean features so I’m a weird mix. Sudanese people approve of my “European” 🙄nose and facial structure but hate my skin tone. 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

Nice to meet you too ❤️🇸🇩 I didn't assume that you were an Arab or was trying to take away from any personal struggles that you faced and i hope i didn't come across like that. All i was trying to say was that its sad how Arabs make us feel so inferior to them yet we follow the same religion and speak the same language, but whats worse is that Sudani people will do the same thing to their own people just to feel more superior to the lesser Arab looking Sudani's. By the way that deep melanin skin we have is a blessing ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿. Much love to you 💕.

@John Clarke Yeah there are too kind of Somalis right now in the US. Thats the Somalis who arrived in 90s and early 2000, those are doing extreamly well in the US those kids are now graduating from unies and generally they are doing quite well. Then there is those who arrived in late 2000s and 2010s they were mostly refugees who have it rough in the beginning but do better when they get used to the states. But that avg income is way too low even though they(new refugees) are numerous and bringing down the avg income its no way in hell near 24k. Well anyways in few decades thinks will look better for the new ones too.

The Somali and my Nigerian (Akwa Ibom) story is very similar minus the civil war, my family legit had lands and houses, better life back home. We only moved to the UK because the government were looking for nurses for the NHS and with the British chokehold on the land, they just basically promised a much more promising life, and because culturally people look up to the west so much, my fam switched lives basically. I dont hate it though.They were as much positives as there were negatives.
