"I really hate being Somali, help" ...

[A_I]

From a teenage girl Hodan


Where do I begin... I hate how some stupid freshie Somalis will be like 'We are not black and that we are arabs' that gets on my nerves because we ARE BLACK. I love being black, but unfortunately it makes me sad how some black people and white people think we're not black and that we are arabs. Somalia is a laughing stock, the country is a joke to the whole world. I hate Al Shabaab and how uncivilised Somalis can be like. I don't wear a headscarf just because people will automatically know I'm Somali, which I hate.

Majority of the people in London hates Somalis because of how they are everywhere and how they take benefits, but both of my parents work and we don't take any benefits, just because some lazy Somalis take it doesn't mean we all do.

I'm so embarrassed to be a Somali, I don't have any Somali friends all my friends are English, Jamaican, Mixed race, Nigerian, etc... I hate how all the Somali guys look at me and give me this death stare just because I don't have any Somali friends and how I am hanging around with Non Somali boys.

I find Somali guys really unattractive, they think they are so hot but they're so fugly and I will never ever marry a Somali guy, I'm scared that no other ethnicity would want to marry me because I'm Somali just because they are the most hated in London.

I also hate how Somali girls are such attention seekers, I'm glad I've never made any Somali friends. I don't think we would have anything in common plus I can't even speak Somali, I can say a few words like easy words but I can understand if someone talks to me in Somali but I won't be able to reply back. There's no point in learning the language since it comes in no use since I won't be marrying a Somali or don't have any Somali friends, plus both of my parents understand English.

I also hate how Somalis look down on other blacks and think that they are superior it's like shut up there's nothing to be Superior about.

I wish I was white or from the Caribbeans or from West Africa in that way I would have a lot of things to be proud off. I honestly don't know what to do, I hate being Somali with a passion, I always cry to myself and dream about being a different ethnicity.

I sometimes even lie that I'm Ethiopian just to avoid Somali people from talking to me, I also hate when people ask me what ethnicity I am, I get so embarrassed because I don't want to say I'm Somali. Plus I really hate my name since it's Somali and my last name is Abdi which is even worse. FML.


I don't want any crap from Somalis saying be proud of yourself that you're Somali because there's nothing to be proud of and don't try to change my mind and make me reconsider marrying a Somali because 'Eww' that will never happen.

A reply to Hodan from a 25yr old Somali Female

Salam Sister

I do understand where your coming from about the fact that it seems that everyone is against Somali's/Somalia but I don't understand where the rest of its coming from.

Allahamdullilah, at the age of 25 I'm married and not to a Somali but married to a convert of a before Irish Catholic decent. I was you known blown away that a prince charming (blue eyes and blond hair) would take interest into a Somalian. He was quick to tell me that he was a convert and we hit it off. Two years down the line we are married and live in Central London so we we are closer to both are careers even till this day I ask myself how I managed to catch his eye. When you know someone is 'the one' family, ethnicity...meaning whether your Somalian or not, doesn't matter. The comment about Somalian not being attractive-so not true. I'm not sure where you live but your obviously taking notice of all the...not so blessed ones in the looks department because I've got guy friends who are either half or full Somali who when we get lunch together have the waitresses taking double looks.

Please sister learn to love yourself first before your try and love another or try to look for love;pray to Allah for everything in life to come easy for you and Inshallah one day you will realise that all that you've written above is nonsense.x

Reply to Hodan from a 22yr old white male


I'm a Londoner the reason we 'hate' Somalis is because you are illegal immigrants and you take our money! Life is unfair, you don't live in Britain and you shouldn't be here, it's not fair on us! Yeah it's tough you have to live in Somalia but we can't have everything the way we want it, some people have to live in those countries and other people live in wealthier countries. It's not fair that you come into Britain, steal our homes, our land, our money, our air, our freedom! We pay to live here, you don't. In fact, you GET PAYED to live here?! How is that fair?!!?!? You ILLEGALLY smuggle yourselves into OUR rich and wealthy country, you then take OUR money, and OUR jobs.
Why do you think you’re unpopular?

Also, you're not Arab you are black. Someone needs to stand up for our country and our British government currently is NOT doing that, and it's unfair!!

The blame lies on the older generation, they have destroyed our country and even in the West managed to give us a bad reputation.

Waxaba yaa xasuuqa ayaan marmar is dhahaa.

I think her problem lies with her association with non-somalis or having them as her prime friends. she is surey depressed which clearly exacprated by her lack of self-steem. I would suggest that she should avoid the company or places that trigs her depression. find a couple of like-minded Somali girls.

as for the other one, who is living with the blue-eyed Irish guy I would say ' we supposed to be just DATING non-somali men not marrying them. Even the dating is just few weeks without physical contacts. Imagine blue-eyes in a dark-room. mayaaney mukulaal moodin malaha.

listen Hodan ( if that is true story because I feel some non-somali perosn fabricated this story), nevertheless, ''Hodan'' has to know that every nation have had their past.....the piracy, the immigration etc are not new things. Just shrug off and get on with your life. You cannot change the past but you can change the future.

Good luck.

bal yaa kuqasbay in ay somali noqoto. She can Claim to be Oromo and she would be all set. Yea, It is very heard if you grow up outside your community and made to believe you are inferior. Waxay dhahday am afraid Nigerians ima guursanaayaan because I am a somali. I thought Jamaicans and Nigerians would die to marry a somali girl. England waa meel quruntay. Even Jamaicans and Nigerians look down on Somalis. Cajiib.

[TeAmo]

Why would you be depressed coz your Somali She can easily chill with non Somalis and take no notice to th fact that she has Somali blood and get with a non Somali guy. And Nigerians and Jamaicans do everything to get with a Somsli they worship these girls compare to jarer girls therefore it's clear this story is fabricated.
