    First of all, Africa is a continent not a region like the M/E.

     

    Secondly, and this is gonna sound racist, but you can't trust Africans. If with Africans you mean Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda etc.

     

    Somali societies in the ME are overlooked, nobody notices them. We do get noticed in African countries. All it takes is one attack by Shabab and the local communities will be after us with machetes. We know what they are capable of.

     

    As for the point of them having a slave mentality and having low self esteem, I don't agree with that. I think it's the complete opposite, they adapt and become arrogant themselves. I think that might be the case in KSA only. Not Egypt or UAE.

     

    And saying it doesn't matter where you take them is BS. This isn't opinions, this is statistics, in the M/E and Africa or even Malaysia they don't have glorifying of thuggery, no 50 cent, no Qaal Shaykh Tupac Qaal...Here in the west they glorify gangs, act like Madows.

     

    In the ME and Africa they know that if you don't have to steal you shouldn't, it's not classy. They don't get that you would settle in a society, looks at the top and the bottom, then copy the bottom in how they behave.

     

    It's like going to Dubai and start acting like Pakistani worker.

     

    + This is pure statistics, looks at the number of Somalis in jail. Thousands in the west, a handful in other countries, and this handful got there due to corruption of the police, or them being illegal immigrants.

    I agree with you regarding "the West" - although there are many Somalis who turn out exceptional, the vast majority don't.

     

    re-Africa - yes I mean East Africa and specifically bringing up your kids where there are large Somali populations like Kenya and Ethiopia. Machete-wielding is not an every day affair, yes it does happen, but if someone took up a machete in South C, I would pick one up myself and it would be a machete-fest, we see who wins because South C and Jijgjiga and Eastleigh etc are as Somali as Mogadishu and Galkacyo.

     

    I don't see why Somalis should behave like minorities in their own lands, they need to stand up, which they increasingly are. If you see the "machete" incident in Eastleigh, young Somalis picked up machetes and other crude weapons as well.

     

    Not that I am advocating violence, just that it shows "we are here, this is our land as well and guess what, we ain't going nowhere so get used to it" message is sent loud and clear.

     

    re-Arabs: perhaps my personal prejudice, but don't want to be called "ya donkey, blackey, whatever" by some pot-belied guy who thinks he is better than me.... Praise our co-religionists all you want, I ain't buying it, no siree!

    To Paraphrase Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones:

     

    Original:

     

    The arrival Uptown, Harlem, can only be summed up by the feelings jumping out of Cesaire’s Return to My Native Land and Fanon’s Wrenched of the Earth , or Cabral’s Return to the Source. The middle class native intellectual, having out-integrated the most of integrated, now plunges headlong back into what he perceives as blackest, native-est. Having dug, finally, how white he has become, now, classically, comes back to his countrymen charged up with the desire to be black, uphold black, etc a fanatical patriot!

     

    Somali version:

     

    The arrival in Mogadishu/Kismaayo/Galkacyo/Hargeisa, Somalia/Puntland/Jubbaland/Somaliland, can only be summed up by the feelings jumping out of Cesaire’s Return to My Native Land and Fanon’s Wrenched of the Earth , or Cabral’s Return to the Source. The middle class Somali intellectual, having out-integrated the most of integrated [into their Qurbaha societies], now plunges headlong back into what (s)he perceives as Somali-est, miyiga-est/my clan-est. Having dug, finally, how non-Somali/de-clanized (s)he has become, now, classically, comes back to his country(wo)men/clans(wo)men charged up with the desire to be Somali, uphold the interests of clan X, etc a fanatical patriot [and a qabyaalist]!

    Cheer up - we all have bad days; what happened to the amxaar maids who used to entertain you? Put some belly-dancing music for them, tie some trinkets on their feet and let them dance away as you puff shisha inaar :cool:

    you've got to be kidding me, inaar?

     

    i'm DONE with these vile people. i'm going take Papua New Guinean citizenship, immediately.

    PNG-ers will rape you. Apparently in Port Moresby folks are raped in broad daylight and it is normal kkk (and don't start with Moga IDP camps); you will run back to us...

    ^ you really think Somalis have the mental capacity to organise a party on behalf of others? your people's innate selfishness and complete lack of self-awareness isn't, i'm afraid, capable of doing something beyond their own individual greed and self-interest. that's exactly why i organise the administrative and logistical aspects of my own birthday party. of course, one must pretend to be ''surprised'' by the genuine affection and heart-felt gestures of his people, despite organising his own birthday party.

    Alfie why are you in such a foul mood today?

    Somalis are without doubt the most vile and disgusting creatures alive. they have terrible manners, lack respect and suffer from an inferiority complex. none of the traits mentioned on this thread are unique to Somalis. these are universal values and if truth be told, the reality remains, that Somalis, are far from hospitable, kind or trustworthy.

    Let me guess; you had a bad night, another maid ran away from you loooooooooooooooooooooooool

    These unfortunate things will keep happening to us till we get our affairs right. As our brothers are stoned to death in public and our sisters raped, we are busy filling the airwaves with the names of men of very inferior intellect and track records we call leaders and fighting over some shitty pieces of land called this Land or that Land. How sad; how really really sad.

    ^^ That i hate about Somalis.

    I love that sense of familiarity...of course it can get spooky and get out of hand...i think you can manage it by letting the other person know you are not comfortable with some things.

    Qansax, good to see you around sxb. You've been MIA for too long. That said, you are an enigma you know. (I'm gonna need those poems and songs from you if you please. And do you work at Kew Gardens?
    :D
    )

     

    PS: How can your sis-in-law be a sijui and your wife not? I didn't know I had a choice as well
    :D

    KKk. Abti I gave you and Alfie more hints than Imelda Marcos's shoes!

    Been really drowning in work abti.

    We are a cosmopolitan family; we marry good, well-mannered/well-bred Somalis regardless of where they come from and clan!

    Looks like education was not wasted on me mum. Let's educate our women and we will leap-frog 3 generations!

    QansaxQarasoow, am I included in that group. I hope I gave my ancient name the pride it deserves
    :D
    :D

     

    btw, I'm narrowing you down and with the info you volunteered here, I know for a fact you're a sijui but I stuck from there on
    :P

     

    Safferz, you know I grew up near suuqa xoolaha back home and I go back every now and then when o holiday and spend time in the Wednesday market and I have NEVER noticed these sumads. Inattentive or what, right? lol LD

    My Mark-a-Bull abti of the pink nigis fame; now you are calling me Qarasoow kkkk. Still, long may your longfeet live (can't say bad things about me own mum now can I?)

     

    I am not sujuu; I am a very widely read and traveled man. I even crammed the liberation poems and songs folks used to sing for NFD from old journal articles and history books.

     

    Besides I told you before that my Mark-a-Bull mum is a specialist in early childhood education and she is originally from Wajeer, perhaps that's what's confusing you!

     

    Also my sis-in-law is sujuu and loves sawaaxili songs

     

    That I read a lot and my mum's a teacher should tell you that I spend 90%of my time reading.

     

    Also told you am a trained Botanist,hence my fascination with tree names like Qansax kkk.

    Always ready to help - a sister ones sat with me outside the ICU of a hospital to console and keep me company. We had never met before. Generosity at its best.

     

    Many Somali guys on SOL are very witty and sharp as a knife e.g. Apophis and Chimera ;) Big up! That's one positive stereotype I'd welcome any day!

    Are we of the same clan?
    :P
    My sumad is for my immediate reer, which is within 7 generations of me. I will have to ask about the others nearby, but from what I understand it's not uncommon to have a general clan sign with more specific additions to indicate sub clan/families. A neighbouring clan has a different sign, which is a cross.

    Kkk. I don't know peoples' clans here except the ones who proudly volunteered!

    I've had enough about people dissing Somalis - including our own self-dissing.

     

    So what do SOLers love about our people?

     

    My heart melts when a sister - here any Somal girl - calls me "abboowe"; something magical about the word.
