Gheelle.T Posted April 6, 2015 I just can't fathom why you guys are defending this white dude. His comments were clearly condescending and borderline insult to Somalis as a whole. It's also mind boggling to see the length some would go and attack the girl who started this discussion. War ninkaa haddaad u boroor diiqaysaan, orda oo private message u dira!

Nin-Yaaban Posted April 7, 2015 I've read this thing on FB and on other Somali sites and still don't get it. Maybe I am lil slow on the uptake, but why are people getting upset over this thing though? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bilan Posted April 7, 2015 I believe she was tired about people talking and writing about Somali and their culture like we don't exist, this guy launched a journal without bothering consulting with the Somalis who are in the field, and when he was questioned about his omissions, he said that basically you don't have anyone who is good enough.

Libaax-Sankataabte Posted April 10, 2015 That picture is amusing. To me, that imagery conveys a message of dominance, detachedness and self-importance. It is a great picture to highlight the current institutional arrangement when it comes to knowledge production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
