Think about it. Somalis and all Black Muslim countries joined the Arab League or are requesting to join the Arab League. You don't see Turks, Pakistanis, Bosnians, Indonesians or other Muslims who are not SubSaharan African trying to identify as Arab.
I once saw an argument online between some Lebanese dude and a Somali dude. The Somali was arguing that the Lebanese dude was not white. The Lebanese dude was claiming that Arabs are white and that's what it says on the census. The Somali dude was making it out to look like the Arab dude was a sellout for claiming to be white. Which is a pretty common trend among Black people, they somehow get butthurt when a lightskinned Hispanic, Indian or Arab person claims to be white . The Arab dude was saying Somalis and Sudanese people are not real Arabs and the true Arabs are semitic and white or light brown. Then after long bickering back and forth the Arab dude said "What does it matter to you 3abds? We don't care about you."
Then the Somali guy tried to convince the Arab dude that HE was actually not Black and that Black only meant Bantu and that Somalis, Eritreans, Sudanese and Yemenis are the true Arabs. I was just laughing at the sheer stupidity.
Arabs in general are considered white. They all live in Middle Class and suburbs. They are not as stigmatized as people of Black African descent. An Arab man can get a good position or promotion in a company before any Black or Somali person ever can and have that white privilege. We are not close to them genetically either. Another thing is every non-Black race is racist against Black people. So Idk why Somalis feel betrayed by Arabs when they see them as "Zanj" or "3abd" or dislike them because of their skin tone. White people, Jewish people, Asian people, Indian people, Arab people etc all see us as the bottom of the barrel. Idc, they don't matter Somalis and all other people of dark complexion should all focus on bettering our country so we don't have to deal with our enemies. But that's not likely to happen because African leaders are selling out to non-Africans. Money's just paper we have all the resources. If we shut non-Black countries out and did all the trade between ourselves we would be on top. The fact that African countries all speak European or Arabic languages says that we are animals that can't do anything for ourselves but to kiss up to non-Blacks. Sometimes white people make sense when they call us monkeys. We need to wake up and fight corrupt politicians in our countries.

Are you new brother/sister? your wisdom is greatly welcomed to the forums

1-somalidu carab ma aha sababtoo ah carab uma eekin
2-Somalidu madaw adoon san weyn, madaw badan oo timo adag na ma nihin sababtoo ah uma eekin.
Somali ayaynu nahay , maxaynu isugu dhejin carab oo uga roori madaw.
Somali ayay nahay intaa ku faraxsanaada, waan diidey inaan qolona raaco Somali keliya ayaa igu filan.
Sideenaabaynu caan u nahay.

he was right on one thing, the true arabs are darker than what you see in syria or tunisia or anywhere else in arab speaking nations.

true arabs like the thamud and the aad were the original arabs i forgot their names but the other arabs like prophet muhammad (pbuh) were arabized arabs and did not have direct lineage but learnt arabic by their forefathers

same with egypt, before the islamic invasion they spoke their coptic language and it eventually died and was replaced by arabic, but you don't see anyone doubting the fact that egyptians are arabs

i personally don't like it when somalis are called arabs, it's pathetic, we were not invaded like other north africans, we do not speak their language, all we have in common is our deen.

arabs do nothing for somalis, why should we follow their every move?

as for sudan, they are arab, when people say they are not arab because they are black, that's racism

Couldn't agree more.

I had to embarrassingly explain to Arabs on a few occasions that we are NOT Arab. They think they're doing you a favour by patronising you and patting you on the head ''don't worry you're Arab too. But how come you guys don't really speak Arabic.''
Me: We're not Arab dude. We speak Somali.

A dark Lander guy was trying to convince two girls at Uni he was an Arab.

You Landers need to chill forreal. Waa ceeb wallahi.

People can't tell who's who and I have to explain away your bullshit. Makes all of us look bad...like we're all dying to be Arab.

The worst thing about the Arab lovers....how come waa ku faantaa inoo wax yar kuu gala....however little (e.g my ayeyo was Yemeni ...... Lakin carabta wey idin inkiran. Dhiig Somali wey iska fogeeyaan. Yemen oo anaga naga fakhiirsan...oo dadka ugu liita aduunka ka mid ah lagu faanaa

Somali was isla Afrikaan to them. Xitaa Somalida dhalasho la siyaay khaliijga..carabta ma guursadan. Tell me I'm lying. Midgaan aa meesha ka tihiin.

Have some pride and stop acting like slaves...alxhamdullilah ma na la cabiidsan....so why aa ugu faney qof ku yaso.

Actually I have met a few yemenis who claimed somali blood but they were usually adeni/southerners. But you are very right and spot on. 100 years ago, to call a Somali an arab was an insult to him. Nowadays, we have self-hating losers claiming everything under the sun just to avoid being called Somali. I'm looking at you "east african/quarter czech" instagram xaliimos.

Well done. We never had such thread in this forum.

I was going to make a thread on that. The whole ''East African'' in people's profiles online.
