I gathered that when Somali says Black he means Bantu people we are the blackest of black at times even the kind of black complexion found in Somali are none existent in all the other races bar the Southsudanese its so dark it glows
Lol the darkest somalis are usually southern somalis most northeners are brown and what does skintone got to do with not labelling yourself black so do you consider Sri Lankans who are very dark to be black since you just said anyone who is very dark is "black"

Guys relax with the racist comments, and write in somali if you have something negative to say about other black people. the OP is probably bait, don't fall so easily for this shit.

Personally worked with blacks, they do harbour hatred, it is predicated on jealousy and sour experiences with Somalis, so don't forget what that new found hatred is coming from, just be intelligent guys. We can't stop the ignorant from being ignorant, this goes for all blacks including Somalis.

Peace.
No one is being racist against black people can you read?

We are not black WTF isn't that a rejections, why are you even highlighting this issue. To most black people this topic of "race" is a sensitive topic, and they literally take it to heart. To us Somalis we value relgion more, race isn't "the biggest issue in our lives" we freaking come from homogeneous society.

Until you make things and issue it isn't. Trust me Somalis will treat this topic like is some fun nonsense, but to some people it is deadly serious, just like how we take serious our religion.

Ofcourse we are black. There are different types of African races and just because we fall under the category of Cushitic or whatever doesn't mean we are not black.

Being black doesn't mean you have to have the west African features. If you are black then you are black.

Big nose, Small nose, course hair, soft hair. Dark skin, light skin.. You get my point.

You are black my friend, wake up and smell the BLACK COFFEE.

Even though all Somalis of the major clans are of the same ethnicity and race, I think among Somalis there are many people that genuinely do not look black at all, and this is a fact. Within my own family there are people that do not look black at all and others that look straight black. This is what causes the confusion.

I get your point. My mum is the minority called colloquially "cad cad, benadiri, .5 you name it. Her mum is the major clans your talking about but my grandfather looks like a real real Arab. I understand where that confusion comes from. But apart from the cad cad people who obviously have Arab origin I consider all other Somalis black.

Why don't you go and ask White or Asian people that question and see the response?

Spoiler - They will laugh at you.

You may think that yoursef but you are black in the eyes of everybody in the West.

having said what I said earlier I firmly believe we should retain and jealously guard our unique ethnicity its what we inherited, entrusted in us. we shall preserve it and hand it over to the next generation intact as we found it and dare I say Daarood Power. always the custodians of the Somali ethnicity

Do you want me to lie an claim that I look south sudanese? Maybe my type of look is uncommon amongst the caghdeer but it is pretty common in my family and my kinsmen
