There u have it pplthe difference between Somalis and other ethnic minorities is that other ethnic minorities came as economic immigrants where only the well educated were granted citizenship; whereas Somalis came as refugees so Somalis from all walks of society, including the unproductive wastes were shipped to Western countries. Add the fact that there isn't a father figure in the majority of Somali households and PTSD is rampant within the community. The war pretty much fucked us over.
I tend to agree that a major contributing factor is the complete breakdown of the 'family unit', but you also have to look at the environment too. Places like Scarborough (high density Somali areas) usually represent the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum and are therefore engineered to produce poorer life outcomes (on the whole). So it's as much a systemic problem as it is unique to the experience of the Somali diaspora.There u have it pplthe difference between Somalis and other ethnic minorities is that other ethnic minorities came as economic immigrants where only the well educated were granted citizenship; whereas Somalis came as refugees so Somalis from all walks of society, including the unproductive wastes were shipped to Western countries.

The other problem is that most parents don't speak English and are not active in children's schools and other activities. Have you ever been asked by parent/custodial to translate a letter from your school and sugarcoated the content to suit you?
Seriously bruh not all fuck up's actions are attributable to their parents. In this particular case, you have grow niggas committing crimes not kids. Your childhood Xperiences got nothing to do with the decisions you make as an adult. If you reach 17 or 18 then you are grown unless of course you suffer from some sort of mental illness. I will cut you sum slacks otherwise, u have no Xcuse to be shooting other people. Grown niggas stabbing or shooting other grown niggas isn't a mistake of an absentee father during childhood years or anything like that. This argument, unless the murderer is a child, is entirely flawed.There u have it pplthe difference between Somalis and other ethnic minorities is that other ethnic minorities came as economic immigrants where only the well educated were granted citizenship; whereas Somalis came as refugees so Somalis from all walks of society, including the unproductive wastes were shipped to Western countries.

well said, even if the parents failed them they are grown up people and obviously they know right from wrongSeriously bruh not all fuck up's actions are attributable to their parents.

First of all, AUN if he was Muslim, and Ilaahay reerkiisa samir iyo imaan Ha Ka Siiyo.AUN.
Some have taken"Get Rich or Die Trying " to heart! Most if not all young Somali menn killed have a police record, are known to police and are involved in drugs, but guess what being a small time dealer does not pay. It has now become normal and no longer shocking to hear a 20 something Somali dude who has been shot/killed.

Secondly, nobody here knows why the guy died (heck, even the police don't appear to know since it wasn't disclosed through the media)...so for all we know, he could have lived with a family member that was a troublemaker and he just happened to be in the apartment at the wrong time. Maybe, maybe not....but maybe. The article mentions he was known to police, but it could be something major or something as small as petty shoplifting when he was 14. Since we don't know, we should refrain from assuming he was into this or that. Sure, these days, it seems like 9/10 shootings/stabbings involving Somali males are gang/drug related, but 9/10 being the case still leaves that 1/10 who isn't. If u flip a coin 99 times and it lands on heads, the 100th time still has an equal probability of landing on tails so we shouldn't assume this case is the same and jump to conclusions until we get the facts, out of respect for the dead and their fam.
You are correct somehow but don't blame this issue because Somalis came here as refugees. Sri Lankans came as refugees, just like Somalis. Sri Lankans also experienced PSTDs too. How come there is low crime rate among them even though there are 300,000 Sri Lankans in Toronto but only 65,000 Somalis in Toronto? Difference between Sri Lankans and Somalis is that they don't have broken families - very low divorce rates among Sri Lankans, the father and mother take care of their kids. Somalis have too many single mothers, why? The wife chased the husband away (well, she called the cops and he got kicked out).the difference between Somalis and other ethnic minorities is that other ethnic minorities came as economic immigrants where only the well educated were granted citizenship; whereas Somalis came as refugees so Somalis from all walks of society, including the unproductive wastes were shipped to Western countries.

He was killed by a pack of 5 somali youths, shot in the chest. Toronto is becoming like a mini Xamar.
