They've got a 'complex' issue in more ways than one.

What is our concern if Somalis think they are green?
By the way, learn how to to use "They" and "Their". Your poor English makes your post difficult to comprehend.

zetdee: Why do you even give a shiite about the non entity called Somali.

Grow up dude. Why insult Somalia? A forum user mentioned them. They did not ask to be made a topic for discussion and insults here.

@Topic. In my dealings with them, I have not discerned that Somalians reject being black. Perhaps some you have met do but you can't claim this to be a general thing.

Anyway sha, there are some people from some african countries that don't like to be called african because it's not a good continent. Africa has many bad leaders.

nigeria fail in promoting africa because we (nigeria) are still crawling. nigeria fail totally.

For goodness sake! Who gives a fk about who they are.. why don't we mind our own business!! What is wrong if they say they ain't this.. I'm tired of reading who is black or not online. An american white sees himself different from a french white or italian.. so why dont I answer nigerian or somalian or south african? instead of this black name or whatever..

I agree with everything you said..i dont get all this crap about Somalisnbeing black or not being black..Africans dont have the "Black/White" racial classifications like in the West..most people identify with their nationality and most importantly their ethnic group...Africa isnt a color.

Actually their from a tribe called hawiye that have a history of mixing with Bantus. They are discriminated by northern tribes and are called futo madobe meaning black ass. They are not pure Cushitic but are obviously bantu hybrids as u can see from the pics.
