These pictures were taken from Coli which is an African American hip hop website primarily servicing and giving a platform to Afro American people. Yet i find it strange that the AFRAM idioms were superimposed on a Somali website. This is not an Afram website but a Somali one. Somali cultural symbols/art/idiom if anything should be the device that gives this place it's meaning and purpose.

It's clear you dont have the slightest clue what the term political correctness means, its also clear my message has gone over your empty head. Why don't you stick to watching shows like South Park instead of fronting to people about things you clearly cant comprehend.

I dont think it's not funny, i can see the appeal.
My problem is that the most popular Somali internet forum has adopted AFRAM hip hop idioms (these smileys are really only found in a select number of AFRAM forums - most of them focusing on hip hop), these smileys are now everywhere on this forum. I think that's just low. I can see how we can come off as lacking self pride, imitators or even clowns.
I realize that there is a choice in it's usage and my problem should be with the people using it rather than the person that brought the smileys here.
