African unity based on sentiment is a dream. The biggest and most sensible reason to unite is trade - not race. Money speaks all languages and doesn't discriminate. If Africans have no trade systems bringing them together, then they'll be no unity. Money is a tool that can be used to divide and to unite.
fine
Slavery was about money. (it united whites and separated blacks from whites)
and race, one of the mine reason why slavery was justified is because blacks were less then animals to them. and their is no reason for slavery in modern times http://www.pambazuka.net/en/category/features/75421
Apartheid was about money. Ditto above.
it was mostly about race. blacks were cheap labor
Colonisation was about money. Ditto above.
yes but they justified it using race & religion
The European union is about money. It unites Europeans - not because they are white, but because they have strong trade systems bringing them together.
Bantus are afrocentric low self esteem cowards, who try to claim us when we have nothing in common. They use Horn Africans in their efforts to lift up Africa.
the horn of Africa is the poster child for starving
Lamu and Mombasa counties have large Arab populations. And others exist in Malindi and South Coast too The Cabinet Secretary for Mining is An Arab. The Governor for Lamu is an Arab. One of the IEBC commissioners is an Arab. We have 3 sets of Arabs in Kenya. [b]Those who have been around since 325 B.C and bulit the towns of Lamu,Malindi,Mombasa,Mtwapa etc and also founded the Swahili nation.[/b]They speak Swahli rather than Arabic and they are Sunnis.Origins include Yemen,Oman,Khuzestan and Saudi Arabia. They stand out in the sense that they speak Only Swahili and not Arabic 1500-1800 era Arabs from Oman who came with the Sultanate of Zanzibar.Mostly Sunnis and a large number of Ibadis. They speak mostly Swahili though a number speak Arabic from Oman Both Groups live at the coast 1963 TO Present.We have Arabs who come from Yemen mainly and unlike the rest.Speak only English and Arabic and live in Nairobi rather than at the Coast. We have no problems with Arabs.
The reason why that incident made headlines is because its not the Norm. Where I can Find thousands of videos of black women fighting and looting.
indeed but that attack was in Europe & black euros are more chill then AA's, and another reason why they would prefer AA's over Somalis is because of Islam
Walahi where are you? i will find you and slap the living shiitt outa ya!
We are not mixed with !! there is no such thing called black! stop watching american bull crap tv. We are not mixed with arab!! nor are we anything other than somali.
we are a different race and people. we are a race of our own
Terry, i think you are waaaay over your head in this one. This sounds it is more about you than anything else, than cultures, and societies you are not familiar with. i leave this one alone and have you rethink or self- evaluate.
no it's common fact the the more blacker you look the worst off you are. especially in Arab and Latino nations
Yareey: Muafrica's hate for Somalis is deep rooted if he is making ridiculous claims like ''Somalis never fought the British army'' and refuse to admit that most of us are pretty good business man. A South Sudanese friend of mine told me about Somali migrants in Juba who came bare handed and started small businesses in couple months just like Somali migrants in UK, US and around the world. But the best example is Somalia Mogadishu, the government does nothing and needs of households is provided by business man. You need clean water, they got is.You need electricity? they got it. You need security? they are the ones to turn to not the police. The whole country is runned by the private sector.
But I'm pretty sure that all of this doesn't matter to you because you are just looking for reasons to hate on Somalis. We are living in a sad world.
sad day for South Sudan you would think SS would learn not to trust odd looking Africans with white features & straight hair from NS. black nations should not let in Arabs/Asians/whites because they would just leach off of the nations dumb people
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.
most of the worlds standard of beauty is Caucasian thats a fact it's not opinion. why do you think the Horn of africa is held as the pretty in africa? because a lot of them don't look too black.
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.
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?
Most of the Black American communities live in ghettos. Do not try claiming the achievements of white Americans as your own
i never said that but it is fact that black american are better off then all other black groups on the planet.
the only thing I have seen black Americans contribute to on a mass scale is entertainment and sports.
mostly yes but the same goes for all blacks. entertainment is a powerful medium sadly most of it is ruled by whites.
Many Black Americans live in situations as bad as the situations people face in Africa. Poverty, Violence and a whole lot of other problems
did you not read my comment carefully "it's the curse of the black African, most nations & or areas with a lot of blacks are junk" but black american are a lot richer & well off then most other black groups. especially the other new world blacks in Latin nations
Yeah, Shikabala, an Egyptian Nubian footballer got a lot of hate from Egyptian Soccer fans who wouldn't stop calling him monkey. I think he even quit Egyptian football over than.
His features, by the way, are as sub-Saharan as they come.
indeed and look at these Egyptian Nubians. the dark ones could fit in Darfur or chad
