Ethiopians, somalis, eritrians, northern Sudan, all those countries people are a mixed breed, blacks and arabs. We just dont know when it really happened. it could be 2000yrs ago or even 3000yrs ago. Or as a results of black africans being rĂ£ped by arabs. Thats the reason Somalis and kenyans are so different from each others but they are neighbours. why are germans not different from Dutch? you dont need a rocket scientist to come to that conclussion that people from the horn of africa are a mixed breed, they cannot be 100% black africans.

we cannot say the same about arabs who are in north africa, because we know they came from middle east via egypt and Libya, they are not the origins of Africa.They know it themselves that their origins is middle east. Actualy they are settlers. No historic connection with the area they are based, except egypt with its pyramid, but there is still that arguement of who really built the pyramids, is it black africans or arabs. Arabs could have come there and found the Pyramids there already.

Even the sudanese consider themselves Arabs, hence the seperation between sudan and south sudan, Sudan consider itself as an arab country and South sudan as a black african country.

Ethiopians are black but not Arabs just BLACK. Never was considered as an Arab and never will. JUST BLACK

I consider myself SOMALI. That is what my ethnicity is.

you should google or talk to somalis. Somalis consider themselves Somalis, and not BLACK or WHITE or ARAB.

This goes for Ethiopians and Eritreans. We don't look like blacks nor do we look like arabs or whites.


I agree to this. I don't understand why African tribals are using racial affiliation of skin colour (black) to prove their identity.


Racism has infiltrated the minds of the youth.

The African identity is tribal. That is what determines our presidents, our votes, our loyalty and our physical characters. Last time I checked, over 2,000 tribes with some major differences, cultures, language, etc. Somalis make one of the smaller tribes.

This Somali is somewhere in minnesota, with a warped view of thevAfrican Continent. If he was based in Africa, he'd know that he did not need to tell any African people that they are not brothers.

So relax SomaliGuy7. Most Africans can't even pick out a Somali from a crowd.

exactly, all the Somali Nairalanders i've encountered have this "we are better than you cause we ain't black" attitude wich is annoying AF, is like we something to gain if they consider themselves black, I myself couldnt care less if they consider themselves maroon or somethin' , Africans are diverse, I'm South African but i can easily spot someone from West Africa or East, it doesnt make less black

SomaliGuy7, Somalia007 & somalia9 are frustrated trolls... they might even be the same person. They always open threads telling us that black people and bantus are ugly while somalians are the most beautiful people on earth.

Somalia that is a failed state and one of the most corrupt nations yet the troll keeps boasting about his sorry excuse for a country.

No, you are and cannot be only Somalis. You are humans before all, then you're black Africans, then you're Somalis, then you belong to your clan, your subclan etc. You were on the receiving end of European colonialism, like us, and that fact unifies us with you.
