Re: Black Empire by PhysicsQED(m): 3:58am On Aug 18, 2012
All that conscious stuff is nice, but right now, I'm listening to "God Forgives, I Don't" grin

I don't even like Rick Ross or what he represents, but I can't pretend that album isn't fire. I don't skip a single track on it.

Also that new Nas album is really good.

The new Nas album is dope, and I'm the biggest Nas' fan in the world..

I've listened a couple of tracks off the Rick Ross' album, I'll probably buy it this week as well..

Rick Ross and arguably Kendrick Lamar are the hottest rappers out now..

the word black and empire dont deserve to be in the same sentence. unless if you consider somalis, ethiopians as blacks.

black is a color. not a dna...not a race, not an ethinicity.


Somali is an ethnicity. Somalia is a country.


You guys are negroid. We are not. We are somali. not good to claim people.

I am not African and am confused by your statement, this is truly learning for me. Basically, my understanding is that people are of African, European, Asian, Indian, American, or Middle Eastern Descent, regionally. (Maybe I left a few out.) And in Africa, you have of black/indigenous Africans, White/European/Caucasian Africans, Asian/Chinese Africans, and Middle Eastern/Arab Africans. Which of these would categorize samoli people if asked by someone abroad?

Usually the word black is used in other countries to identify someone with African ancestry, White is used to identify someone of European Ancestry, Sand colored/Brown/ Middle Eastern is used to identify anyone from Iraq. Arab, Iran, etc., and Asian is used to identify someone from, Japan, China, Taiwan, etc.

So maybe, to be politically correct, people should refer to indigenous Africans and people of African descent as being of the African Race and not the black race?... Although, in countries other than Africa, African descent = black.

I do not like the term or term[b]s[/b] of race. If, however, you subscribe to race, then it's best to get all the information correct. The term black is foreign to Africa, even though people try to use it as a blanket term for cultures created by people with dark-skin. The term also was slightly, sort of, wonkily adopted by native Africans after the whole pan-Africanist anti-colonial thing. There is, however, no black identity in much of dark-skinned West Africa, apart from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and other places invaded by white skinned Europeans. So with all this 'Black African' has been an accepted for Somalis (maybe not completely by Somalis), and others, but in race terms the Somalis are Ethiopid, while other dark-skinned Africans are West African, Sahelian, Nilotic, Bantuid, and Khoisan under the "Negro race".

agreed. black is more of a culture, history, and a certain look. genetically somali, ethiopians, eritreans, sudan, djibouti are their own race that is not negroid.


if you call somalis, eritrean, ethiopians black...than all you have is just black and white...but 100 million ethiopians, somalis, eritreans, sudanse, cant be combined with negroids...negroids claim us mostly out of insecurity and to strech the meaning of black so that not all blacks look ugly.
Re: Black Empire by ezeagu(m): 8:26pm On Sep 11, 2012
I don't know about beauty. I think you just seem like you're out to troll and be mean by saying immature stuff like that instead of trying to clarify your identity, but I won't comment on that. But to black nationalists the Kush and Nubia empires are a cornerstone of black history according to them.

Anyway, it makes sense for Somalis and other Ethiopids to be called black since that is how they are treated all over the world.
Re: Black Empire by somalia3: 11:29pm On Sep 11, 2012

I don't understand your statement that "ethiopians, somalis, eritreans, sudanse" are good looking. You have ugly and pretty people in in both East and west Africa.

Your statement is really insulting. I have seen beautiful women all over Africa from dark to light, from nappy to straight hair.

I think its silly for me to even comment on this. It's apparent that the person that I'm commenting to has probably never stepped foot out of their own country.

African Somalis and Ethiopians should ask the ones abroad if they are black or not. Outside of Africa, unless you are white African, the rest of the world views you all the same. It seems to me that the Ethiopians and Salamis think that west Africans are beneath them, thus the need to be separate. Where I come from, an African is and African and is of the black race when it comes to identifying them, no matter if its East, West, South, or North.

I'm African American, but felt obligated to defend Ethiopia against negative, derogatory comments made by white co-workers. It was my African Ancestry and slight knowledge of some African countries that prompted me to do this.

My co-workers thought that Ethiopia was the "poorest, diseased" country in the world, but I guess they can attribute their ignorance to those "Feed the Children" Commercials that come on here.
