What does that mean and what language is it?
I thought you said you were east african, you should understand the language or did you grow up in another country

At least this monarch looks less like a disgusting arab!
Your obvious disdain for the arabs is well documented grin, why do you hate them so much, yet you don't show the same to the white man?

Because they deserve that level of hate. Let's get one thing clear in some respects the Europeans were worse than the MENAs (Middle Easterners & North Africans). The difference between them is practically one thing - ISLAM
Since the start of Islam they have done nothing but lie, abuse, rape, abuse and enslave SSA peoples - from the mainly Gulf Arabs and Persians doing this in East Africa (From Ethio/Eritrea to Mozambique), to the Tuaregs (a mixed Maghrebi/Berber and West African people) doing this to West Africans, to the pseudo Arabs of Egypt and Sudan to the Nuba and Nilotic peoples.
To this very day look at how the Gulf and Levantine Arabs abuse their foreign workers and in many cases rape their maids.
Why do you think that South Sudan wanted to secede in the first place?

They (MENAs) can't stand SSA people but absolutely go wild and savage over SSA women. Nothing sums up this paradox more than the Arab scholarly source reference to the Zanj (essentially the Swahili coastal peoples from Southern Somalia to Northern Mozambique and sometimes the interior peoples as well).
The Arabs hated the Zanj and thought they were nothing but animals yet they weren't above using the men for soldiers and eunuchs and the women for concubines and "pleasure".

The Arabs called Zanj women ugly and hideous yet they got most of their slaves from there (Because they aren't ugly, in fact IMO They amongst the most beautiful women on the continent. Check out the Tanzanian and Kenyan beauty threads).

The Lebanese in West Africa are some of the worst. All they do is leech, Bleep the local women, produce mulattoes that are weak and arrogant, they also have this aloof attitude. Why West African women fall for these glass jawed/chinned, arrogant fuckboys I'll never know. They would rather chose a Lebanese or even a white guy rather than the hard hitting, iron chinned/jawed brawler type warrior Jamaicans. WEIRD!!!

In short Bleep MENAs.

Well not all of them are like that, at least the ones i've met or the ones in kenya. You could say they're like somalis, although they intermarry more with black people (the swahili) than the somalis do. Most of them are middle class wealthy and what i've noticed in Kenya is that if you belong to the same class, especially the wealthy class, whether you are white or green, interaction and marriage is inevitable. The ones in the middle east, i have little to say about them, though there're lots of Omani arabs who speak swahili and who come back to east africa to see their relatives, most yemenis have cushitic blood from the horn and a bit of somali culture, the saudis are the worst.
I don't understand why the north africans hate the blacks when in east africa they live relatively well with each other, maybe it's because of their majority, i've noticed that an arab majority always poses problems.

Of course not all but most.

Obviously.

That's only true for Middle Eastern men and Black women relationships. If it was a Black man hooking up with a Middle Eastern woman the Middle Eastern men would go f*cking crazy and want to beat, castrate and sell the black man to slavery.

That right there is a true statement. However Yemenis also Niger Congo/Bantu blood as well.

If they were the majority or in power, the men would be castrated and the women raped.
Re: East African Coast | Culture And People by Nobody: 4:46pm On May 13, 2015
There're a few in power though and most of them represent coastal Kenya.

Najib Balala is one of them, he is the cabinet secretary of mining, though he identifies more with Swahili culture.

I certainly wouldn't trust him. I don't trust politicians as it is, so an Arab one is out of the question. It's like coastal Kenyan wants to be enslaved.

Haha no, he's been in government for the longest time with not a single scandal, he really is a great guy, we know the really corrupt people. And i said a few, there're about 40,000 arabs in kenya, not that many and they speak swahili better than they do arabic. Most of the coastal people are mijikenda bantu though and they lead in representing the coast.

Make sure you don't import more. If you do make sure it's only women.

I see. Mijikenda = The 9 tribes.
Who else lives on the coast?

Mostly it's the Mijikenda, though the taita and pokomo aren't mijikenda they share a lot in common and live a little farther inland, then the somalis and kambas and then the others come from the inland to look for job opportunities.
