@@almara90 Not all Somali men marry all Somali women. Not all tribes in Somalia inter marry each other. There are lots of Somali women who are left over women by exclusion of the marriage of certain Somali men. It’s absolutely fine those ladies have to find love somehow someway somewhere. It’s what isn’t is. Some families will disown their daughter if she married another Somali man of certain tribes let alone outside of their race. There was a relative of ours who I never met and I will never meet because she married outside race man in the 1980’s in Somalia. She’s excommunicated and disowned. She can’t visit, no one will visit, there’s no news in or out to her or from us. It’s as if she doesn’t exist or we don’t exist depending on what angle you look at it from.

*_We reject the label "black."_* My father once said if his identity is changed to a physical characteristic than he should be able to refer to a Chinese person based on a physical characteristic like their small/slanted eyes. I have noticed the communities of the Horn of Africa believe AA's want to erase our rich identities by calling us "Black". In the Horn of Africa, we don't call ourselves "Black", this is a very American thing to do. I noticed my AA friend's who haven't travelled outside of the States don't understand the difference between anIrishman vs Russian. They will refer to both as simply "White". Ethnicity is extremely important outside of America. Calling my Japanese friend "Chinese" is offensive. You can call us African but a physical characteristic is vulgar especially one that our ancestors never passed down to us. In the Horn of Africa, referring to an ethnic group by the way they look is an ACT OF WAR ! I hope AA's understand that other communities want to be referred to by their ancestral identity (ethnic or cultural origins). We don't want to lose our identity, it's our unique, inherited sense of identity; like our values, traditions, culture etc handed down by previous generations that we want to pass along to succeeding generations. Why do AA's want to break that? *_To my beloved AA's, please try to understand outside of the States, ppl identify based on ethnic, cultural, or national identity and NOT RACE._* This is the identity that shapes our sense of who we are. Please don't take that as a rejection of "Black", it's just that nations of origin or ethnic backgrounds is more IMPORTANT.

Somalis are Africans and Africans are black. Even the fair coloured Africans are still of the black race. Nothing wrong with being black. The only difference between Africans and African Americans is that due to the social upheavals of slavery they lost their languages/ethnicities and culture. They were forced by circumstances to adopt to a new culture and language. The same for other African slaves taken elsewhere. Somalis are predominantly Muslim. They need to educate African-Americans on Islam in order to understand each other better. Otherwise, there is no barrier as blacks and humans to interact.

@@adambrownhussein6525 I can tell you are American raised because you use the terms "Black" and "White". The term "Black" is very crude and vulgar. It's disgusting to refer to people by the way they look. We do not refer to Asians (Far East Asians) by their small eyes. The apparent slant of the eyes is common to Asians. Asians will tell you not to refer to them by the shape of their eyes. I think their eyes are beautiful just like I think black skin is beautiful. However it's inappropriate to call one group by a physical characteristic and not another group. Another interesting thing i noticed is that AA's have a simplistic understanding of the of Africa (they have an innocent ignorance). When they say "Black" they are referring to African Bantu. Bantu is not the only type of physical characteristics in Africa. For example, South Sudanese are extremely beautiful and they are NOT Bantu, they are Nilotic. When we describe a so called South Sudanese person (not all are from S. Sudan, Ethiopia has large population too), we don't call them "Black" or "Super Black" (that is vulgar). We described them as Nilotic. The overwhelming majority of ppl in the Horn of Africa are NOT Bantu either, they are Cushitic people and or they are ethnic groups who have substantial Cushitic ancestry but have had a language shift (who don't speak a Cushitic language but are still Cushitic people). The Cushitic cultural groups are very diverse and exhibit unique features they are NOT Bantu. There many many diverse groups and using the term "Black" is so fucking offensive. I have noticed Americans are exceptionally ignorant of Africa and it borderline disrespect. "More than 100 years ago, American sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois was concerned that race was being used as a biological explanation for what he understood to be social and cultural differences between different populations of people. He spoke out against the idea of "white" and "black" as discrete groups, claiming that these distinctions ignored the scope of human diversity. Today, the mainstream belief among scientists is that race is a social construct without biological meaning. And yet, you might still open a study on genetics in a major scientific journal and find categories like "white" and "black" being used as biological variables." The Slave Masters/ Slave Owners had this world view of "Black" and "White" which they used to justify slavery. This might come across as harsh but please understand that we don't want the language or world view that you have inherited from Slave Masters. This is the language and worldview of the slave mentality. We don't even feel comfortable using the N word (also inherited from Slave Masters). The "one drop rule" another Slave Master belief etc etc. The Slave Masters language, culture and worldview is not respected. We even refuse to refer to AA's as "Black". They are a unique and distinct ethnic group that deserves to be recognized as distinct. Even their DNA is different (genetic contributions from peoples of Europe, Africa, and the Americas). So unique that you have Henrietta Lacks' cells that have enabled huge advances in medical science, and the cell line is still being used in research institutes worldwide. It's so sad that AA ppl don't regard themselves as unique and distinct. We will NEVER embrace the term "Black" not in Africa and not in America. And we want AA's (ADIOS/FBA) to embrace their uniqueness too and to NOT refer themselves as "Black". Yes AA's due to slavery have lost their languages/ethnicities and culture. And Yes they were FORCED by circumstances to adopt to a new culture and language. But they are FREE MEN now, no one can force them and they have created a new culture, ethnicity and language. All their missing now is a new name. Personally I love ADIOS and FBA over "Black". The Slave Masters/Slave Owners did not want the Slaves to have an identity, they were just "Black". Likewise, don't *FORCE* us to use your Slave Masters/Slave Owners words and worldview. NO!!!

Another Somali apologist. We Somalis are not black. The color label “black” is extremely shallow and limited. None of the people who call themselves black gave themselves that title black. Black is coined by the Western European colonialists around the late 1600’s and 1700’s. Our Somali ancestors never ever called themselves black. We Somali people have tribes, clans, subclans, language, country, states, regions, poetry, traditional dances and rituals that we identify with. Being black is not one of them. When everybody look like Somali what’s the point of calling ourselves black? None. Amongst the darkest of people on earth live in Aboriginal Australia and Southern India. Those people never ever call themselves black and no one else is out painting them with a paint brush of shallow blackness. If the extremely limited term “black” unites the descendants of slavery I’ve nothing against them. However, don’t try to drag us Somali into it. We have our own intact means of identity. DONT be offended when we reject the shallow and inaccurate label because it’s unbefitting us. In our Somali culture there is no word for race but there’s a word for ethnicity. Race is socially engineered word. None of your people or my people had a say in it when the continent is wrongly labeled. Our ethnicity is Somali. Our nationality is Somali. Our language is Somali. Our tribes and peoples are all Somali. The word Somali has a deep meaning to us that most of us know.

We Somalis are not black. The color label “black” is extremely shallow and limited. It’s not befitting for everybody. Stop pretending to be offended when we reject. You didn’t name/label yourselves as “blacks” either. You were given and now you want to paint everyone black. Allow me to help you see how and why we Somali people refuse to be painted black. None of the people who call themselves black gave themselves that title black. Black is coined by the Western European colonialists around the late 1600’s and 1700’s. Our Somali ancestors never ever called themselves black. My grandpa died without ever calling himself black same as our other ancestors before him. I’m not saying this to be rude or mean. We simply have a better and more accurate ways of identifying ourselves than the given black. We Somali people have tribes, clans, subclans, language, country, states, regions, poetry, traditional dances and rituals that we identify with. Being black is not one of them. When everybody look like Somali what’s the point of calling ourselves black? None. Amongst the darkest of people on earth live in Aboriginal Australia and Southern India. Those people never ever call themselves black and no one else is out painting them with a paint brush of shallow blackness. If the extremely limited term “black” unites the descendants of slavery I’ve nothing against them. However, don’t try to drag us Somali into it. We have our own intact means of identity. DONT be offended when we reject the shallow and inaccurate label because it’s unbefitting us. In our Somali culture there is no word for race but there’s a word for ethnicity. Race is socially engineered word. None of your people or my people had a say in it when the continent is wrongly labeled. Our ethnicity is Somali. Our nationality is Somali. Our language is Somali. Our tribes and peoples are all Somali. The word Somali has a deep meaning to us that most of us know.

@@COOPSCORNER Someone with an intact identity and someone who has a manufactured identity will not and can not see on to eye and eye level. Yes, it’s too limited and shallow of a description for me and my people. Before the 1600’s colonial Europeans came to the continent of the motherland and painted everyone “black” in an attempt to take away our intact identity that we came up with ourselves. Our Somali ancestors and your ancestors never called themselves “black”. For some, that’s all they know nothing but being back and for us, black will not replace everything we are tribe, clan, subclan, language, rituals, ways of live, traditions, regions and much more. Can you address my point on the darkest people on earth native Australians and South Indians from India not calling themselves black and no one in the world will once call them black and categorizing them as “blacks” too? You will never because you were not thought to even look or think this way. Yes, the American education system don’t teach this. They rather hide it.

​@@AncientPharaohWell no, you people told us you were not Black and we agreed. We only knew color in America so if you looked Black that is what we would call you. However we realized that for us Black is our race, culture and ethnicity and this isn't the same for foreigners.

@@QLivin Being black is subjective in the US as your people try to dictate who is and who is not. Literally, in NYC, Detroit, Atlanta, Oakland and Dallas they said “you’re not black” to us or our relatives who lived in those cities. As long as you’re not acting up when we reject the black label given to you and me by European colonials and American slave owners dialogue is fine by me. However, there will always be a problem when some of your people try to paint everyone that shallow label of “blackness” for me and my people. My race and ethnicity are both Somali. Our ancestors came up with that name and it carried a beautifully befitting us.

@@COOPSCORNER thank you bro

Very good interview and subject. I live in the UK and can relate with what Naims said. We don't seem to click with the other fellow black communities in the UK. The confusion stems from both communities' ignorances. Some Somali are confused with ethnicity and colour where they say they are not black but Arabs. On the otherhand the Black British do not see us fit in on their definition of Black and therefore othering us are very common at workplaces or at public places. I give you an example, oneday I was at the airport and got into argument with this black guy over car scratches he was blaming at me and then came this other black guy and straight away took side of the other guy. I was confused as I was thinking we are black with African origin why would he do that? Also, I received many discrimanory acts from other fellow black people at workplace simply I look different or practise different religion that they would normally do not associate with black person.

The Somali are predominantly found in the East Africa region . The East Africa region has one of the most diverse Black genetic pool in the continent ranging from Niger-Congo Bantu , Nilotic, Nilo-Saharan, Nilo-Cushitic and Cushitic .

Some Banyarwanda completed their DNA analysis and determined predominant Niger-Congo Bantu DNA previously associated with Banyarwanda hutu and variations of Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan/Nilo-Cushitic DNA previously associated with the Banyarwanda tutsi and similar to Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan variations found among the Oromo of Ethiopia and the Maasai of Kenya, Tanzania . Present day Banyarwanda are admixture of Niger-Congo Bantu and Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan DNA . The height variation among some Banyarwanda derived from Nilotic extraction . Sudanic Nilotics like the Sudanic Nuer, Luo and Dinka the tallest groups in the planet while Congo Bantu Pygmie the shortest .

Niger Congo and Bantu are not the same. Bantus originated in west central Africa and evolved FROM Niger Congos. Niger Congos are not in East Africa, they're exclusively in West Africa. The phenotype of most Niger Congo speakers is not the same as Bantu speakers, especially concerning height.

As a Somali, I believe that we were never truly colonized by the Italians and British. We resisted and fought against their rule until they eventually agreed to our terms. We also refused to work on the plantations they established because, as pastoralists, it was difficult for us to stay in one place and work on farms.
