I'm in a sub saharan African history class right now

But no Somalia....so its all about mado....

I wonna go to Nubian villages.

"From our Nile Cruise, we visited a Nubian Village and had tea in one of the houses. This girl was leaning against the wall."

wareer

what are you on about? somali's are cushite people closely related to oromo and other cushtic speaking people. The girl looks somalia. "The Somali people are one of several Hamitic ethnic groups in East Africa known as Cushites, descendants of the Kingdom of Cush. Their language is also one of several related languages referred to as Cushitic languages. As Hamites, they probably migrated from the Arabian Peninsula sometime earlier. One can speculate that the Kingdom of Cush was originally founded by Cush, the first son of Ham, who was the second son of Noah.104 According to the elders of the Beja ethnic group in Ethiopia, another Cushitic ethnic group, they do explicitly claim to be descendents of Cush, the son of Ham, the son of Noah.105"

I can only post a few paragraphs, so I'll post the rest of the history some other time. Or maybe day by day.

Hell no we aiint Cushites.

What's wrong with being cushites? lol

That girl looks somali.

Wareer,

Cushite, Semitic are just language families. Somalis ARE Cushitic-speakers, but Nubians are Nilo-Saharan speakers. Arabs speak Semitic.

Learn your languages.

Nubian girls are sexy.



Anyway enough about the Northeastern traitors. Lets talk about the Southwestern patriotic groups.
