No, this isnt superiority complex. This is extreme inferiority. The need to put people down in order to feel good about yourself. This is a desperate need to be recognised out of a bunch you assume to be hopeless. People like this are the reasons africa is the way it is.
This is spot on! I agree with this

Ah this cushies sef. Not only are u somalis not Black sef, you are not Africans, you are not even humans!. You are aliens from a distant dwarf planet in a distant solar system in a very different universe. Yes you all are so different from us and we know it! The stupidity of ur species led to the destruction of ur home planet and your descendants hitched a ride on the reptilians space ships to come over to earth. But ur species thrives on self destrution and instead of settling down peacefully on earth, War!. Now u all are leaving ur little "horn" to migrate to the west and the west dont want you.those reptiles are smart. And if trump shld become pressy over there you are gonna have it waaay worse than other immigrants. So can pls muzzle ur bleeping mouths on how ya'll are better than everyone else? Cos HUMANS ALWAYS DEFEAT ALIENS! Xpecially if they are so full of themselves. Just ask any HUMAN kid that watches Ben 10.!

Thinking of it now, You guyz actually do look like rats.
There was this Ugly somali girl in my school with a rate face and a huge underbite, with waggled teeth......rofl.
Funnily enough, she was about three shades darker that I was.....

You're describing the abominable Somalian, she's saber-toothed and often used her teeth for various household chores.

She help her community press their clothes with her forehead too. Sometimes, Somali head serves as hammer.

In many parts of the world having a high forehead is seen as noble... At least we don't have Gorilla features like the Negroids ( black ).

And we are not related to apes as scientists proofs Negroids have the same DNA as the monkeys.

Scientists believe everyone is related to apes dumbo. A high forehead is a high forehead and Its extremely unattractive. Black people come in all shapes and beautiful colours, but a huge forehead is a deformity, like a mutation and you all have it. Stop lying to yourselves, it's not nobility it's hideous. Just like you think so called Negro features are ugly, we think your forehead is repulsive.

It's so good that you don't know that you are sick.

The only noble thing about your people is their forehead, But the question is, is noble brain enclosed within the massive metalware of a head?

I think it does not matter, look is all that count as humanity to you folks, your youth can't accomplish anything, so women idle talks has became their national orientation.

Then let this look of a thing take you away from being the scum of the earth.

People that do not have your look are moving the world forward, but this 'look talk' is all you have to offer the world.

Your arguments all over here shows that you have lost your dept and now struck to a lifetime obsession to looks and mirror.

You can keep carrying the burden of not being either black or white about: you are not who you love to be, you are (not) who you are said to be. Negroid.

Even nigerian fulanis are not dark skinned. Nobody is actually black. Its like you are setting urself aside from being african simply because of ur skin tone. Nobody ever judged africa based on skin color until now. Tye truth is we africans never notice that we even have skin color until we travel out and feel the impact. You are her calling urself african and talking about skin color. Africa is d most variegayed place in the world. And egen in nigeria there are tribes lightwr than your somalia so be honest and tell us if u just want to dissociate urself from africa with this horn story.
What wrong with being black?Black is color like any other color and it is the most beautiful color of skin.The funny thing is that,it is always Africans who are into this obsession with light skin.When you date a white girl she never care whether you are dark-skinned or light-skinned.Actually they prefer very dark-skinned Africans!But black boys and girls are the most light-skin obsessed people in the world.It boils down to insecurities:They don't feel comfortable with their own skin!
The fulanis who are light-skinned are the ones who are descendants of arabs.The same goes for Somalis coz the original Somalis are among the darkest people you can get in Africa.

I kind of agree with you but I dont think his comment was about to put dark skin people down and he precises "Nobody ever judged africa based on skin color until now", etc...
You know original arabs are dark skin people, just look at yemenites. Fulanis are old people.

For one, negroids are not related to apes but. EVERY race is dummy. Neanderthals aka white ppl are even more related to Apes. For two, Bantu ppl are mostly from the East, not so much in the West. Thirdly, those ppl are not Nigerians. Fourthly, Somalis are highly related to Aliens with your bulging eyes and gigantic foreheads. So I'd rather be related to apes and most pll would too than scary looking big headed aliens

It may be reasonable that Somalis are not black, but they are still perceived as such in the West because of their curly hair and dark skin.

Somalia007:
I don't mean to be racist. But the Horners such as Amahara's, Tigre, Somali, Afar, Oromo, Beja, Nubians are not Negro at all. We don't even speak Niger-congo langauge, our langauge family is in the same classification as Arabic, Hebrew, and Berber.

Many Afrocentrics will talk about Egypt or the Horn before they even talk about their West African ancestry. The only history that Horners had with Bantus, is enslaving them. It was not untill the Italians outlawed Slavery in Ethiopia and Somalia in the 1930's that Bantus were freed.

If Afrocentrics want to claim anyone in Africa why don't they claim North Africas (they already claim ancient Egypt as Black). If they want to claim anyone with Brown skin, why don't they claim Indians?


How do you feel about this?

All these people above are black/afrociod.
Oh and nubians are not horners.

The kingdom of kush
Dental trait analysis of fossils dating from the Meroitic period in Semna, in northern Nubia near Egypt, found that they displayed traits similar to those of populations inhabiting the Nile, Horn of Africa, and Maghreb. Traits from mesolithic and southern Nubia around Meroe however indicated a closer affinity with other sub-Saharan dental records. It is indicative of a north–south gradient along the Nile river.[28]
Source wikipedia,

By the way other believe or say that kushites and nubians noba look more nilotics then horn of african types.keep in mind nubians art varied.
Some of art look more horn of africans and some look more nilotic etc.. So saying most of it look like horn of africa types is not correct.


Here is another view on what they look like.
Kandakes of Kush
Nilotic quote-
The Kasu and the Nubae (Nubians) were very much likely similar to populations in Darfur today, minus the recent Arab admixture that reach Darfur as well in the last 400 years.Kush was an empire and Nilotics played some role -- unless the depictions are somehow wrong and should (strangely) only be dismissed in relation to this specific population.

Here's what we know:
The Nubians have their origins in Darfur and like Darfurian populations, they are a composite of Nilotic and indigenous North African ancestry -- marked by E-M35 lineages; Nubians experienced recent Eurasian introgression -- especially during the Arab expansion into Sudan; the specific Kulubnarti population are not ancestral to modern Nubians and have entirely different admixture composites, from a different admixture event.
I don't know why you want to dismiss the genetic studies showing that the Nubians were the products of recent admixture, and why you want to present them as having always been Beja-like, when these studies say otherwise.
E1b1b is African. What great authority says otherwise?
Do you honestly believe that the Kasu (Kush), the Nubians and other groups (minus the Beja) were more similar to Cushitic populations in the Horn rather than other Saharan populations in Darfur prior to the Arab expansion?
Nilotics and Saharans are separate but related groups, and they dominated Sudan; it wasn't the Beja type people.
source somalispot.com/threads/kandakes-of-kush.120012/page-2

Mace quote-
Keep in mind that some nubians do not have euro-asian dna or mixed with other races etc.. THere are nubians chad and in darfur and hill nubians by the way in the noba hills and they do not have outside admixture from other races. Even some in nile valley as well do not have any other race admixture.

Oh and their are dark skin arabs too.

Then there is this.

African peoples are the most diverse in the world whether analyzed by
DNA or skeletal or cranial methods. The peoples of the Nile Valley
quote-
Simplistic "race percentage" models are dubious in Africa which has
the highest genetic diversity in the world. That diversity proceeded
from deeper sub-Saharan Africa, to East and N.E. Africa, then to the
rest of the globe. All other populations, including Europeans and
"Middle easterners" carry this diversity which was built into Africa
to begin with. Africans thus don't need any "race mix" to look
different. Their diversity is built-in and supplied the whole globe.
Any returnees or "backflow" to Africa looked like Africans, including
Europeans. (Brace 2005, Hanihara 1996, Holliday 2003).
and quote-
African people have a range of physical variation and don't need
inspiration or mixes from cold-climate/light skinned Europeans or
Asiatics to explain why. Features like narrow noses, thin lips, height
etc are all indigenous to Africa. Africa has both the highest
phenotypic diversity and the highest genetic diversity in the world
and don’t need cold-climate/light skin inspiration for that
established fact. All cold-climate/light skinned Europeans and
Asiatics are SUBSETS of original African diversity. Modern DNA studies
find even though some African peoples look different, they are
genetically related through the PN2 transition clade of the
Y-chromosome. Thus light-skinned African Libyans and dark-skinned
Zulus are all genetically related Africans, even though they don't
look exactly the same. (Keita 2004; Tishkoff 2002, Ely et al, 2006,

Topic: New facial reconstruction of the egyptian mummy "shep-en-Isis"
I'm so sick of kemet!
byTRUTHTEACHER2007

Why is it that so many so-called conscious and Afrocentric people pay
so much attention to Kemet, yet ignore the rest of Africa, especially
the regions where their ancestors came from, which is Central and
Western Africa?

Why is it they can talk to you for days on end about
the blackness of Kemet, yet not be able to name you even one
civilization in West Africa? Or if they can, they have the need to
invent history and claim these people are Egyptian immigrants when
there is absolutely no hard evidence to support such a notion?

Why is it so outrageous to accept the fact that Egypt was only one of
many civilizations and cultures on the African Continent and that
peoples in the other regions had their own unique cultures and
achievements?

Why can't we as people of African descent have just as
much reverence for the ancestors of our own bloodline as we do for
people who are most likely not related to us at all?

Yes, they were fellow Africans, but they were not of our direct bloodline.

[/QUOTE]by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova
[QUOTE]
Sure. I've said the same thing for years, and disputed those
who see Kemet as some sort of "central headquarters"
of civilization or advanced culture in Africa. To the contrary,
the opposite seems more appropriate- Africa itself is the "headquarters"
and Egypt is a "branch office" thereof. To rework the title
of Van Sertima's book- "Egypt- Child of Africa," Kemet is is a very
important child to be sure, but ultimately just one of the many
offspring Africa gave birth to.

I agree with many parts of the critique in the video but
would point out that African people do not seem to
be any more obsessed with Egypt compared to white people,
who are the biggest appropriators and users of Kemet's cultural
iconography, art and much else. Many white people are the biggest
hypocrites in this area- they themselves being massively obsessed
with Kemet while presumptuously lecturing black folk bout how they
should "focus" on Nubia and elsewhere, as if only white people
are "qualified" to study and comment on things in the field.
White people even appropriated and consumed the dead flesh
of Egyptian mummies at one time for their medicinal systems.

And black popular culture in the US on a whole is
not that heavy into Kemet. Most cultural linkups focus
on West Africa or East Africa (the Swahili cultural orbit)
not Kemet. Kwanza is an example, as are black baby names.
When the last time you run into some black kid named "Tutankhamen"
compared to the much larger number of "sub-Saharan"
or Islamic origin names? It was not Kareem Amenhotep, but
Kareem Abdul Jabbar, or Malcolm El Shabazz.

In the 1960s the inspiration was mostly West African-
with dashikis and NATURAL "Afro" hair styles not wigs
as in popular Kemet. So-called "black militants" were
not running much to Egypt compared to West Africa-
as Stokely Carmichael, aka Kwame Ture can attest.

Do SOME black people go overboard with Kemet? YEs. Is there
an almost cultish obsession with SOME "Afrocentric" types?
Certainly. But viewed in larger context, let's not overplay
things. White obsession is miles ahead of what black folk are doing.
And Kemet does not really resonate in black popular culture,
compared to West/East African/Islamic influences. Among a small
minority? Sure but overall there does not appear to be an "Kemetic"
movement. Hell its sometimes hard to get some among that small minority
to update their knowledge with modern data. Some are still
preaching Chancellor Williams 1970, or Diop 1964-
good foundational background to be sure with the data
available at the time, but the field has since moved on.
And that plays into the hands of assorted dishonest enemies
who go around acting as of every black student in the country
is a "disciple" of George James circa 1959. My critique of the
bogus strawman book "White Athena" on Amazon makes this very point.
The same critique can be applied to the Arabist hypocrites
desperately trying to "distance" themselves from "anything too African"
when hard data shows that the foundation of Kemet is precisely that
which is "African".
The above being said there is a need to of course learn more
about ALL parts of the continent.
[/QUOTE]by Nodnarb
[QUOTE]

Along with the obvious fact that ancient Egypt receives more
mainstream media exposure than other African cultures, I believe it
has a special attraction to "Afrocentric" types because it's perceived
as a major influence on the development of so-called Western
civilization (through the proxies of Greece and then Rome of course).
Not to mention the irony of an advanced civilization thriving in
Africa when most of northern Europe was still at a "tribal" level of
organization. It would be the ultimate rebuttal to the white
supremacist narrative that Africans are naturally less capable of
civilization than Europeans. So that's probably why Egypt is more
contentious territory than, say, Mali or Zimbabwe.
[/QUOTE]by Oshun
[QUOTE]
Egypt given lots of attention cause the discoveries and science and
math were the foundation for a lot of progress in those field for
ancient Europe. Much of their ideas are still directly relevant today
in technology, science and mathematics. While we know now by a few
resources that West African civilizations contemporary to Egypt
existed, it's not really known like it is with Egypt what they were
like, let alone what they could've been accomplishin still relevant
today (see Tichitt)
[/QUOTE]by Nodnarb
[QUOTE]
I agree with this as well. The African quality of Kush, Mali, or
Zimbabwe doesn't get ignored or denied as much as Egypt's. Instead
it's pretty much taken for granted. So yeah, even people who don't
necessarily gravitate towards Egypt more than other African
civilizations might still find themselves arguing about it more since
it's more contested territory.
