Funny how world change. Came to west as a boy and faced lots of racism as Somali. I even recalled visiting Ghanaian friend his mother stated I wasn't black. Most somali faced the claim we weren't black and now we say we are Somali it bothers others. Somali have always faced racism from other black people even more than we faced from white people. Videos about Somali being ugly or don't date them can easily be found on KZbin. What other black people have just about realise now is Somali don't care of anyone opinion and hating us made us identify more as Somali. Somali experience in Africa is constant discrimination compare to other black people who migrate to other countries as we are more visible and we take in our stride and never complain. It made us support one another. We are not Arab we are cushites and the oldest race and Islam has nothing to do with identifying as Arab we are proud African and Somali. As a matter of fact we were Muslim before 99 percent of the Arabs. Islam reached us before it did Madina so no we are Muslim and proud but not Arab. We are the original founding member of African Union. We supported Kenya independence, Zimbabwe and even sent troops to Mozambique and Siyad Barre was the only president to attend independence day celebration of Mozambique alongside Samora Michael. Somalia contribution to African development and struggle has not been acknowledged or appreciated and instead we have always been seen as the others. Somalia stood between Tanzanian and Uganda from 1970-1977 deployed her troops and financed the peace talk between the two countries. We have opposed Apartheid even when offered weapons during our war with Ethiopia to counter Cuba involvement so South Africa could win against them in Angola for what? Whilst African countries rooted for ethiopia against us. Somali know their history we know our influence and shame for the lost 30 years but we growing and resilent people. I have faced the most horrible racism from black people and they reminded me I was Somali. They used to laugh when we listen to bashment or go to black clubs. Girls used to Diss us and there was few of us back then we took it in our stride. The younger gen don't care and their fathers legacy is what form their perception that your Muslim first Somali second and African third. Proud to be all those three and I don't have hate for any race I just prefer to marry my people, proud of my culture and to respect everyone. However we don't have inferiority complex to complain about things.

[@strongman8291]

I feel you, I'm sorry you feel that way bro. Ive always wondered why Somalis are treated somewhat different from the other east africans.

Not all Somalis claim to be Arab, but we have Arab ehtnic minorities just like we have bantu ethnic minorities. Somalia is an African state, but an Arab state in sense its a member of the Arab League. The Arabian Gulf is very close and we share a religion and common values and culture hence why the arabs wanted Somalia to be a member state. Somalia is similar to Turkey transcontinental country almost . Turkey is Asian yet close proximity to Europe brings a European connection to Turkey hence the argument is Turkey European or Asian. Beides Somalis traded with Greece to China for centuries , so its a seafaring nation that sees itself not limited in geography, its and outward looking nation. Ethnic Somalis see themselves as Somalis not as Arab or African or any other label because its a ancient civilization. This terms are new that came from the west and it still didn't catch up with all Somalis , which creates confusion for some Africans. Somalis are very homogeneous insular when it comes to their cultural preservation similar to the Japanese. Even when overseas their dont always fully assimilate most . So they are misunderstood, but they dont hate Africa or anybody else . They see all foreigners as foreign regardless if Asian African European, but they will treat with respect those that treat them with respect. I think some Africans who believe in a black white race world are often disappointed with them because Somalis don't have such ideology , they don't supoort someone based on their skin colour even if it looks like their own Even the people that look the closest to us like Ethiopian Eritrean etc we dont support them if they are on the wrong. Those countries hold similar views like Somalis and have no black race ideology because they never question their identity out of confidence because they know who they are. So Somalis are misunderstood by None East Africans unfortunately whom many spread lies against them

It was not until the Quran was revealed to Muhammad that a religion began seriously spreading the belief that everybody is equal, even if they do not adhere to a particular set of religious beliefs. The reasoning for this can be found in the below excerpt from the Quran: "And among His wonders is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colors. For in this, behold, there are messages indeed for all who are possessed of innate knowledge!" -Quran 30, 22 This passage was something of an anomaly for its time. It went in direct contrast to other religious texts, which generally taught a specific group or groups of people were the people of God. Instead, it tells us that all of mankind was created by God, with languages and races coming into existence by design. This is something to keep in mind today as gentrification and Westernization sweeps the world, almost eradicating the other tongues and cultures created by God. The Prophet reaffirmed this teaching - with noticeable aggression - in the following Hadith: "O people, your Lord is one and your father Adam is one. There is no favor of an Arab over a foreigner, nor a foreigner over an Arab, and neither white skin over black skin, nor black skin over white skin, except by righteousness. Have I not delivered the message?" The Prophet Muhammad reaffirmed this in another Hadith, delcaring: "Verily, Allah has removed from you the pride of the time of ignorance with its boasting of ancestors. Verily, one is only a righteous believer or a miserable sinner. All of the people are the children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust." -Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3955 Oh men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware” (Quran 49:13). “And He it is who has brought you all into being out of one living entity, and has appointed for each of you a time-limit on earth, and a resting-place after death. Clearly, indeed, We have spelled out these messages unto people who can grasp the truth!” (Quran 6:98).

We have them in Uganda as refugees on their way to the US and I tell you, I never thought I'd see racism in my own country, fellow blacks being racist in Africa and I know some of them really look like Arabs. They once told me that 1 Somali is equivalent to 10 Ugandans, those are some of the bravest refugees given the reputation of Uganda. This is first hand information as we've had them as tenants for upwards of 15 years.

Most important question, which I haven’t seen raised in the program or in the comments log is, ‘Are all the people in Sub-Saharan Africa ONE RACE’? If your anwser is YES, my reaction is 😳 🤦🏾‍♂️. The program makers have missed the point and haven’t made an in-depth research about the information or knowledge they tried to portray. And so are likewise many videos I have seen on KZbin with more or less the same content. Please stop wasting people’s time, and spreading misinformation and ignorance. Long story short, the largest native group in the Horn of African nation are an offshoot of the Cushitic race. So they have welcomed and mixed with other races over a long period of time, because of that coastline. So what, so have people many parts in the world. Somali is a word, which derives from the somali word ‘soo maal’, which means ‘go and milk’. In the past - and still so to some extent - the way of life was pastoralist, which makes sense how popular and user the word ‘soo maal’ has become. If the question who are the Somalis of the country’s population, the largest native group or the ethnic minorities? Then they are both Somali, since there’s a nation called ‘Somalia’ and the inhabitants are citizens of that nation. If the question is who is ethnically Somali, then it’s anyone who culturally, in feature and genetically share with the tribes who are and were natives of the land, who (again) are in turn an offshoot of the Cushitic family group or race. Can anyone of the Cushitic group be a Somali, no they can’t, the same way a Somali cannot be an Eritrean, Afar or Oromo. I hope my input shed a little bit of light about the matter concerned. ADVISE… If you are going to watch anything of knowledge based on KZbin, please be wary. You have been warned. 🙏🏾

You must distinguish between the Somali people who live in five separate countries-Solania, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somaliland-in order to comprehend Somali people generally. If you ask any Somali speakers in these countries who is the most racist among them, they will undoubtedly point to a particular minority group that lives in Somalia and has a superiority complex. This group has been causing turmoil throughout Somalia since 1991. However, the majority of Somali speakers in the Horn of Africa are without a doubt the most decent and hospitable people. 0:09

By Michael Powell October 14, 2002 They arrived as Greyhound nomads, Somali refugees riding buses in search of a new life in this chilly northern world by the Androscoggin River. Two years ago, not a single Somali lived in this stout little city in central Maine, a place of 35,000 people. Today the Somalis, slim and lithe, and Black and Muslim, number perhaps 1,500 -- 300 arrived between Memorial Day and Labor Day alone. Their halal food store stands cheek to jowl with Frenchy's barbershop, and a mosque has taken its place amid the town's towering Catholic churches.

Every culture has its nuance but in general we Somali's are not racist against other cultures but we do have an often sarcastic nickname for almost every other culture that is not ill intended. We are known as nation of poets and used to settle tribal wars through it. In modern times Tribalism is a bigger issue where some do not marry from one another due to backwards and unislamic customs of old which isn't unique to Somalia. Also, Somalis who think we're Arabs are usually expats who I believe internalised the racism they face out of the country or are experiencing a form of identity crisis. Somali's in the interior would never identify as anything other than Somali.

[@MrMohamud78]

What your failing to understand been Arab is not a race , is rather language and traditional to some extent, Somalis are African brown and black and cushetic people, Arab League is political entity only and is United by Arabic language, Sudan and Camaro Island are also part of Arab League and they are dark skin African brothers so don't mix things, am Somali person and am African black person, they are Arab Somalis who lives the coastal cities and they are the minority.
