Just because you or I find him funny doesn't mean others do, especially rational Somalis. Who he has given a bad name to before I even joined. Not banning Axum actually gives the mods and this site in general a bad rep. It tells us that anyone can troll and get away with it.

Again not trying to disrespect you as a mod, but he has been trolling since I think 2011.

In a sense he has embarrassed rational Somalis more than the Bantus. I read some of their posts/comments where they try to point out that the troll is just one crazy person, and I feel sorry for them.

For their sake alone, it is irresponsible to leave Axum running wild on this forum.

He's not giving Somalis a bad rep, he's only giving himself a bad rep. Educated people won't associate 1 Somali with an entire group of people. In a way, that's racism to use 1 person to judge an entire group of people.

No he's giving Somalis in general a bad name. Which is why @Maakhir has continually argued with people on here. I've seen many times on here when people attack Somalia/Somalis in general due to axum.

Giving Somalis a bad rep or not, not banning him gives this site a bad rep. It shows anyone can come here and troll and get away with it. He has broken most of the rules listed REPEATEDLY. Saying that he's here because he's "funny" is not a good excuse, its actually a pretty awful one. But hey I'm not mod of this site and its not up to me. He was funny to me when I first joined, when we would go at it and I would get kicks at destroying most of his views with ease But now his standup is just stale, repetitive and irritating.

Anyways I sent you a PM earlier. Can you check it out? Thanks.

Radoillo, trust me, the sample is very closely related to the main product. Few of those people are kind. Take it from a Kenyan who has interacted and organised charitable events to impoverished areas only for rowdy, veiled women to line up for offered services armed with kitchen knives. They do not know peace.

Many of us are kind, which Somali's have you met?

Somali's in Kneya are often refugees and under bad conditions. Frankly, I don't blame them.

Well, I don't know many Somalis. They keep to themselves pretty Much like many other immigrant communities. The handful I know don't come across as snobs or racists though.

The racism only comes out on international forums like this one. Distant places like this is where we discover they are not African(hehe). They wouldn't dare be disrespective on a Kenyan forum.

As for being snubs, just wait till all their clansmen join them and they create their exlusive communities within YOUR community.

I do not have the slightly idea what you mean by this Terry. Firstly, Sudan never hardly participate in global beauty contest due to the lack of clothing in the contest. Secondly, we do participate in the miss Arab contest, and frankly most of them look way to local in order to win, and the contestant is usually Nile valley Sudanese.

EXamples.

and compare to Miss Arab Sudan.

[img]http://www.mohammadi.ca/photos/albums/userpics/10001/Miss%2BArab%2B3.JPG[/img]

This miss Arab Sudan among many looks very local, and we were discussing this some time ago on facebook. Although she is represents about 50% of the current population, they should had got somebody the complied to Arab beauty standards, because everyone has their own standard, there is a European Standard, East Asian Standard, Arab standard, West and Central African standard, and Horn of African standard. Her beauty standard is a Horn of African beauty and not a Arabian one nor possibly other African group Standard. She among others i have witness in Horner specific, but that will not win in any contest in the Arab world.

They should have chosen someone close to these types.

Although they represent 10 percent of the population, but individual such as this comply to the supposedly beauty standards of the arab world. Is it biase? Yup. But measuring beauty is biase, hence the expression beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Now if we are talking about within the Continent of Africa or International beauty contest (if Sudan ever enter such a thing) or the Miss Muslim World contest, and since they are somewhat unbiase in comparison to the contest i mentioned, sure why not have a person from South Kordofan or Darfur represent the entire country. Which is not a problem for most people here.

if a person of prominently "black" features becomes miss sudan they would trip balls

So, this quote you stated really does not make sense nor hold any validity. Since most the the supposedly beauty contestants are extremely local.

I don't agree with how you put West and Central Africa together as one, because it's wrong.

West Africa is a very diverse region (so is Central Africa in a way).

Are you saying that the Standard of beauty in neighbouring Chad (which borders both Sudan and Nigeria) would be the same as the standard of beauty in a country like Congo?

Or the standard of beauty in a country like Nigeria which has thousands of standards of beauty be the same as say even our neighbours Benin?

Everyone has certain standards Fulaman within any group of people and society. Even within the same society you have individual who may not comply with the local beauty standards. As far as West and Central Africa, i am not throwing them together, but stating they have their own beauty standards like everyone else. Honestly, at the end of the day, majority people are drawn to people that look like them. Call it human tribalism as you like, but that's the way it is.

@Gallivant

Let me turn this question to you as well. Why are Africans competing for Miss England and France? Since the majority of the population is native Europeans.


The contestants is not only within the Levant or Arabian Peninsula, Most North African countries participate including Somalia. Also both countries are part of the Arab league, so yes they participate. As i mentioned you have some individual in Sudan that fit what is considered beautiful in the arab world

For example Nancy Ajaj




She fits within their standards. Is it biase? yup. But these silly beauty contest is indeed biase. Because each of us individually have our own idea what is beautiful. Honestly we should look at people inward appearance instead of the outward appearance which matters the most.

Those Africans are European nationals so they are representing their adopted countries.I don't know any African country that participates in European contests.It's only horners that feel the need to be part of Arabian events and daily lifes.It's pathetic that you also in Arab league, when did you become Arabs?
