I'm not up on african history like that. What do you mean when you say "did us wrong". Also Im guessing Caribbeans fall in the same boat as AA's for you?

Also do you consider east africans as "black" similar to how a japanese, chinese, viet, etc are considered asian yet still their own distinct ethnicity?

We can't even hate on the imperialism stuff? Like not owning your own land? The exploitation of men, women and children for forced/indentured labor? Nah we can't hate on that because when Somalians had nothing they sold each other. But when the Europeans had everything, they sold us to make more. There's a difference between Africans selling Africans and Europeans selling Africans.

Also that black s***, did work in Black Countries like the Organisation of African Unity survives through the African Union which has departments like the Pan-African Parliament..

Thank you

It's f***ing rétarded dawg

Imagine a costa rican coming up to some canadian nigga talking bout we're american brothers nigga wtf 🤣

Like it's evident how stupid this is when it comes to every other continent but somehow this is supposed to apply to africa? Pan africanism is the most rétarded ideology ever dawg

you're completely right and ANYONE downplaying this is a f***in bum

something as devastating as Colonialism can create a new identity for a group of people who suffered under similar oppression together that didn’t have much in common before

I guess India would be a good example to relate it to before the british an indian national identity wasn’t a thing til recently and this new national identity didn’t erase each particular cultural group identity that makes up India. ( well most if we ignore what’s happening to Adavasi people)

Why even engage with this type of rhetoric if its going to be disrespectful to the Africans who gave their life fighting against colonialism and imperialism?

I doubt this guy has ever been to a white dominated society, saw a black person and understood what it meant to be in the position they are now. You have no appreciation or gratitude. So if you want to be a Somalian and not an African, go ahead but when those Crackers follow you around the store, stop you from doing any sort of business, and refuse you housing, then tell them how not Black you are.

Again bro somalis never sold each other nor were we ever sold as slaves by europeans or any other group of people, our entire history with slavery is when we sold ethiopians to arabs and enslaved kenyans, tanzanians and yemenis to work in our farms

You're trying to put YOUR history and shared experiences on me, it's f***ing weird. We all have different histories dawg, just bc we share a continent does not mean we're all the same

This ismali_mire is misconstruing pan-africanism, it's about solidarity and shared struggle not erasing ethnic identity in favor of one global 'african' people.

There are some Pan-Africanists who denounce ethnic chauvinism to the extent of not believing in Ethnicity but those are extremists lol

You say Somalis never sold or was sold but then in the exact same sentence you contradicted your previous statements and said that Somali's sold other Africans

The end of slavery and the 'problem' of farm labour in colonial Somalia.:

We have land disputes with every all africans around us bro, that's what I mean

And idk much about carribeans

This black stuff is stupid dawg, I'm somali. The only reason why I consider myself black is bc the west works on some racial caste bs

Oh so if you go to Asia they wont see you as Black or African?

This is an interesting topic just cause as a Black American raised by a family from the south there was no point I questioned being Black or what that means to me lol

Literally read the link u just posted

You said that somalis sold each other, that's false. You tried to bring up some trauma about europeans doing slavery in somalia but the only slaves italians and brits ever dealt with when they came to our lands were the tanzanians the arabs sold us to work in our farms

Stop trying to erase our history dawg, this african identity is bullshit we all had vastly different experiences

I dont care ab what they see me as dawg, their opinions has no importance

Bro ur not the same as these african niggas believe me, just go hang out in west africa u will understand what I mean.

Yeah its interesting seeing how different places outside of North America see race

Nobody is trying to erase your history.

And if you read any books like at ALL you would know that slavery including in your Country, was perpetrated originally by those who live there. The Indian Ocean Slave Trade was an economic opportunity for natives to rid themselves of debt and capitalize on their follow peoples.

I AM NOT ONLY BRINGING UP SLAVERY. I brought up IMPERIALISM which had FORCED LABOR and the citizens had NO POWER.

yep, posts like this is exactly why im wary of other black niggas

somalis, africans, jamaicans, haitians etc. will make sure that it is known that they're anything but african american like it gives them points or some s*** from yts or in America period

coon ass niggas, poc solidarity is a farce

You are aware they will stare at you, spit on you, deny you entrance into establishments, and possibly kill you just for being black. It's common, ask Black Folks in Japan what they go through.

Half agree.

but the ideate of asianness encapsulates both as much as anybody would like to deny it

it's for this reason that the term "asian-american" exists and was created in the 70s by asian marxists with diasporas from everwhere within the continent.

there is undeniably multiple experiential, historical and conceptually distinct features to determine that "asian"-ness exists and as such it encapsulates both pakistanis and koreans

"I'm not African! I'm Somali!"

before i make a reply just edit the “pakis” to pakistani or something i know u didn’t mean it but it can be seen as a slur lol

Dawg a kenyan once came to Somalia to film a vlog and had to leave 3 days early bc she felt so much racism. Niggas were touching her hair and s*** wondering what tf she was

A taiwanese girl tried vlogging in northern somalia and she too had to go back early bc she felt there was too much racism against asians there. Somalia is literally an ethnostate dawg, I cant be mad at them for that when the same s*** happens in my home country
