Ajuran: Lmao, no, she's somali, you can tell by the hair. She's the new Kenyan Foreign Minister, but she's ethnically Somali.

Never seen a gambian with hair and features like that somali lady.

Lol i was joking but you'd be surprise at how many people have her features in gambia. Obviously, not majority

Ajuran: Where do you think this woman is from?

Gambia

Fulaman198: As aforementioned kind of like how a tattoo does not benefit anyone? It is the same concept.

tattoos are choices adults make. It is regulated to make sure minors do not get them done. It is a choice so no they are not the same concept.

Fulaman198: You are talking about a reproductive organ vs. a body part that doesn't really affect anything. Two very far different things.

If someone cut me near my private part, and then cut me on my arm which would feel worse? Two very different things. You can not compare a reproductive organ to a place that is well protected on the body.

Lol the vagina does not reproduce. They are all tbe same, no argument there. Whether they are on the face or vagina, they are all cultural practices that doesn't benefit anyone.

Ajuran: our features along with our forehead is unique for a people with our skin color, but they are common in the cushitic people who live in Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea. But you don't see people with our features, body type, skin color except us.

attack of the foreheads. aka female somali soldiers.

Oh apart from the forehead it is very common but just like many ethnicities you have a certain look which distinguishes you from everyone.

Ajuran: In india, we got a lot in common with the drividians who are the brown skin ones.

A lot of our culture is also ancient, like or language. But i think we gave indians a lot of things or they got it from us, cause somalis are sea faring people.

This is why you see ethiopian culture is boring compared to Somali culture, cause of our trade with Persians, Arabs, Indians, Asians.

We are not indian, as indian is just a recent country that has many different ethnic group. While Somalis are very old people, you can tell just by look at our faces. We look very noble, and have distinct and unique features and culture.

Your features aren't unique though. It is very common. Well except the forehead.

Fulaman198: I'm sure those people throwing stones are huge sinners themselves. Yet they throw stones. As I stated previously, human beings are huge hypocrites. Even if they have done something before or still do it or something similar to it, they think they can tell someone else who is doing the same thing to stop doing it.

In regards to Instruments being transformed, that is for a different thread. Ethnic markings are far different and far less painful.

What?. You are arguing something very different. And how exactly is scarification far different to mutilation. You can't pick one and leave the other. They are both painful and they both leave scars behind and guess what, they are both tradition.

Ajuran: i don't know if it was brought, but i know we have been using it for a long time.

But also i think the indians got a lot of things from us, as only southern indians who are brown skin share some of customs and culture, and food.

Lol that is because you are indians. No, but as I've said majority of your culture was imported.

Fulaman198: Now I'm going to go into apples and oranges. It is a traditional practise for them. Basically, it is like you telling me hey, you Fulani man you are not allowed to herd cattle anymore, or you are not allowed to be a desert dweller and ride camels. You are to do things our way and become 'modernised'. I don't want you wearing a turban because it looks barbaric, take that thing off you Fulani dog.

Get my drift?

This doesn't even make sense. Oh, we could also say, 'hey, you just fornication, we are now going to stone you until you die.' Why, oh because it is tradition.

I can assure you the percentage of women who have been mutilated for traditional purposes and hate the practice is higher than the old senile and uneducated women who push for it.

Ajuran: because a lot of the things in somalia like the henna, sarong, jewelry, sambuusa, are the same as in india and maldives.

i can get you a map of where i got that map, with a link, check it out yourself

its on wikipedia, here the link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_and_tsunami


lol at the idea of south africans, tanzanians using henna. lmao

Henna was brought to somalia.

It is actually very common where I am from.

Sagamite: You really should be that last person calling someone fuckface.

Your moronic arsse is still brainwashed with tosh?



You are too much of a dumb person to come to any reliable conclusions.

You coming to a conclusion is as cretinous as Scun giving an opinion.

Your type should shut up and let intelligent people make conclusions.

I am actually the first person who has the rights to do so. Senile person, no I see you are still tongue phucking the asses of your white masters in peckham.

KidStranglehold: Why don't YOU actually read what you posted...? You said this isn't America and I countered by saying this isn't some Tribal Village. This has nothing to do with American ignorance wise guy. Read what kandiikane posted because she actually brought up a good point. She said what if those kids ventured out of their village and into the bigger world. Then what Which is why me, Kandiikane and onila brought up those Dinka kids being FORCED to get scarification. Lets just say that one Dinka kid wanted to venture out of his village, yet still have those scars on his face(those scars which he never even wanted) and tries to apply for a professional job. Then what? What if he/she never wanted them or nothing of the tribes traditions. Its not about what you think, but also others. You need to grasp that. You get brining up listening to the elders, but what about that INDIVIDUAL PERSON.

You said certain students in your university had scars, were there a bunch of scars on there face

I am sure his scars are not as horrific as those in the pictures, if they were, we won't be having this argument. His probably look like nail scratches.

PAGAN 9JA:
you think that kid doesnt know what is happening?

That kid will grow up and do it on his son.

A kid may not even like to eat certain kinds of food.

Does that mean we stop feeding him?


Enough of your concern. Our kids are our concern.

You still don't get it do you? You think we live in the age where the evil forest was the end of all. I have asked you to describe these scar of yours. Obviously, if one was brought up, lives and dies in one place that is all they would know.

Fulaman198: You are over exaggerating the effect of how they use knives to give themselves ethnic marks.

As aforementioned, human beings can be very hypocritical at times, I'm not saying you are, but what you are doing isn't much different at all.

How exactly is he being hypocritical, when the decision to get tattoos were his own. No one led him there. I have nothing against you, if you want ethnic marks because it is going to be your decision. Now, tell me that that boy would not feel the full impact of those huge scars on his face if he even ventures out in the world. Remember the world doesn't end in the 4 corners of the your hole.

PAGAN 9JA:
why cant people just mind their business and let us do what we want to do?

you dont see those kids complaining.

and here we have all these grown-up adults crying.

How the hell will kids complain when they have no say? And how will a child complain, when they don't understand or know what is happening. Only adults know the impact things have or society and human because they are adults. Can you now tell the difference?

PAGAN 9JA:
I have tribal marks so speak for yourself.

you have no right to speak about them/against them if you dont have it.

your opinion doesnt count for anything.

Oh believe me, my opinion does count! And why don't you tell what those scars look like.

Fulaman198: It is not anyone's place to deem it as wrong. If people want to get markings or tattoos on their body let them, it is not killing them.

The issue here is choice.

Fulaman198: It is eurocentrism, it is a culture that Africans have practised for thousands of years. There is nothing wrong with ethnic marks. I know you are from the western world so you would wouldn't understand. Pagan does though

I am sorry, how silly is this comment. For your information, i am an african and I am most certainly sure I have more knowledge of this issue more than you. Now, what exactly is eurocentralism. Which western world delves in the mutilation of female Instruments? Please do not come across as daft. If nothing is wrong with ethnic marks then nothing is wrong in vaginal mutilation right? I am certainly sure, if you had such hideous scars on your face and you will have a different opinion. Tradition, do you know how such things affect you socially, physically and mentally. Unless, you have gone through one of these traditional scars you have no grounds to stand on.

mazizi tonene: She no dey

Shush

Subom1: Gbam, thank you! That was such a stupid comment. I weep for some people!

Dont tell me you are against homosexuality.

Sagafuckface, long time, i see you are still spewing nonsense on homosexual threads. Just come out of the bloody closet already.

Abeg, where is my new found love subomi?

Fulaman198: Why are you comparing apples and oranges?

And how exactly is fgm and tribal marks apples and pears. Are they both not tradition?

Fulaman198: ?? This is traditional, just because you have a Eurocentric view does not mean you have a right to label something barbaric... it I obviously doesn't kill them. Do you see them crying?

Tradition to identify your ethnicity. We now have technology and education to identify each other. See, i am sure if today's educated women had the opportunity to choose whether they can be circumcised, they would be very happy

mazizi tonene: Dem say la tradition....yoruba and hausa ppl, very guilty

Well, it was to identify which ethnicity you're from but we can now tell who is easily from where na. I saw a very cute ghanian kid and she had a slight big slash on one of her cheeks, not fully healed. I was like atleast give the child an opportunity to choose whether she would like to scar her pretty face.

mazizi tonene: U la stylist, make-up artiste, abi fashion designer ?

Anything you want. Hairdresser sef if you want.

I don't understand how people can still slash children's faces. I am sure with modern technology and education, we can easily identify our people na.

fidinwala: this is my baby, my miss world. enjoy

I feel like you need to pay me to do her eyebrows?
