"Resettlement counselors who work with Bantus say many had never flushed a toilet, flicked a light switch, watched a TV, talked on a telephone, cooked on a stove, ridden in a car, held a pen, used a fork, seen a two-story building or written or read their own language. In Kenya, some Bantus had gotten stuck in a room at an orientation session because they didn't know how to turn the doorknob. Others asked whether they had to go with their luggage as it passed through the airport X-ray machine."



Damn, they asked to go with their luggage

this is sad.

I watched this documentary once about a group of Somali Bantu's who had arrived in America. That shit was very sad walaahi. You would see grown ups jumping up and down on beds because it was fun LOL. There were ALOT of things that they had not seen or heard of before.

The fun part is after they had stayed there for 6 months the kids started to copy the African American, and they did a poor job doing so.

^ and you think somali's don't do the same.

UHUHHHM qaxooti in toronto for six months after watching bet " YO yo segsi latty I wanna magke a some segs wit uuuuu"

Plus when somali's came to canada circa 1993-94 they (canadians) used to think we were the most backward of people because we couldn't read, write etc in a good chunk of our population. These bantu's have jsut been deprived of a lot in somalia and you can't blame them.

People or the media who write about the Somali Bantus exaggerate the reality. I read one time an article about them. One of the things that I found far from the truth was;

1. The Somali Bantus were not allowed to go to school. Wrong
No Somali person was denied to education.

2. The Somali Bantus never used stoves, refrigerators, washing machines etc.
The question is how many Somalis used these stuff? Less than 1% I am sure.

Yes there was a lot of mistreatment towards them by the rest of the Somalis. We all know that they were looked down by Jileec people. So were other minority groups. I hope one day we will grow out of this racism.

if they settle in ur neighborhoods, i advise u to move away before aad is aragtid adoo daba-marsan. they have a history of usin magic on us back in the day in gedo and jubbas. so much that an unwritten unofficial law among the mareexaan is if ever a jareer (bantu) or a juraar (name for rest of minorities) was/is even ACCUSED of usin magic, the whol neighborhood used beat them to a pulp by clubbin them to death. that stopped them from even commiting it.

once again, MOVE AWAY PPL, idinkoo is dabomarsan baad is arki doontaan.

Do you really believe in a magician's power to inflict pain and death, or, is it sarcasm?

This happens to most refugees in a new environment, and definately happened to many of us.

Very Sad! These people have been marganilized and excluded of all the human needs in the world. We should all be blamed for the isolations and discriminations that Somali Nomads subjected on them.

Nobody blamed them.. I just commented on what I saw.

Bantu's have been focked up by Somalis for too long.

oh shut up ppl. they r not as marginalized as u read from the newspapers. thats just wat they said to bring themselves here


wit the number of magic shitt they practice, god knows these bastards dont deserve to be pitied

Oh You remember when they were recruited as Kamasle Hawiye.

I remember several kids, each one whose one of their brothers or sisters was strapped into their back and then go for the day to knock every house for food. I used to help them alot. They have suffered more than other Somalis.

Mad cow

these people have been victims of society and have been more outcased then midgaans. if you even had one bantu worker on the mareexan plantations then you should feel sorry for them. When people refer to you as jareer and habash and adoon do you think they are just using this as an excuse to get to the western world?

God forbid a somali hasn't used the excuse that the hawiye's were coming to kill them, to come to the west.

Well said, I agree with DamalXagare, Well said :

I agree that we should all be responsible! directly or indirectly. But I have to say again No body has excluded them from education. Yes the circumstance excluded them.

I hate to see a Laandheere idiot oo fuqa cirka u taagaya! Who believes that he is better than those poor people

One thing to remember is that Bantus, the OOJI , not the Mushungule, are tenacious with their culture. They will rather be killed than converted into a Christian. Their women are mostly veiled.

They, however, beat the children severely without realizing the effect of losing them to the agencies that enforce laws against child abuse, which are funded by the government. Some of them had this happen to them

why should we matter of fact its the opposite, all the hawiye i know came to america under being "marehan".
