I really hate being Somali, help?
Where do I begin... I hate how some stupid freshie Somalis will be like 'We are not black and that we are arabs' that gets on my nerves because we ARE BLACK. I love being black, but unfortunately it makes me sad how some black people and white people think we're not black and that we are arabs. Somalia is a laughing stock, the country is a joke to the whole world. I hate Al Shabaab and how uncivilised Somalis can be like. I don't wear a headscarf just because people will automatically know I'm Somali, which I hate.
Majority of the people in London hates Somalis because of how they are everywhere and how they take benefits, but both of my parents work and we don't take any benefits, just because some lazy Somalis take it doesn't mean we all do.
I'm so embarrassed to be a Somali, I don't have any Somali friends all my friends are English, Jamaican, Mixed race, Nigerian, etc... I hate how all the Somali guys look at me and give me this death stare just because I don't have any Somali friends and how I am hanging around with Non Somali boys.
I find Somali guys really unattractive, they think they are so hot but they're so fugly and I will never ever marry a Somali guy, I'm scared that no other ethnicity would want to marry me because I'm Somali just because they are the most hated in London.
I also hate how Somali girls are such attention seekers, I'm glad I've never made any Somali friends. I don't think we would have anything in common plus I can't even speak Somali, I can say a few words like easy words but I can understand if someone talks to me in Somali but I won't be able to reply back. There's no point in learning the language since it comes in no use since I won't be marrying a Somali or don't have any Somali friends, plus both of my parents understand English.
I also hate how Somalis look down on other blacks and think that they are superior it's like shut up there's nothing to be Superior about.
I wish I was white or from the Caribbeans or from West Africa in that way I would have a lot of things to be proud off. I honestly don't know what to do, I hate being Somali with a passion, I always cry to myself and dream about being a different ethnicity.
I sometimes even lie that I'm Ethiopian just to avoid Somali people from talking to me, I also hate when people ask me what ethnicity I am, I get so embarrassed because I don't want to say I'm Somali. Plus I really hate my name since it's Somali and my last name is Abdi which is even worse. FML.
__________________________________
I don't want any crap from Somalis saying be proud of yourself that you're Somali because there's nothing to be proud of and don't try to change my mind and make me reconsider marrying a Somali because 'Eww' that will never happen.
Henry Watson that was really hurtful, both of my parents work and I was born here, I have every right to stay in this country, do you hate other black people too?
and all the Somalis that think I'm a troll LOL, I am fully Somali and not proud! and whatever you say won't make me less of a self hater than I am already.
And LOOOL Sherrell I know you're a Somali in disguise, I doubt a Carribean person would know what caanjero is or who barawanee people are. lol what an epic fail.

LOL Well hello there im another somali sister. First of all let me just say i am also somali and a FEMALE. I kind of understand what you mean. First i dont live in london but in the USA and where i live there's alot of somalis, yes u've guessed it i live in minnesota. Second, the last few years i started learning about the somali culture and i have started to teach myself how to read the somali language and how to speak it properly. When i started learning our culture and history i felt proud to be somali because our history is filled with people with a strong sense of self, who are religious but not to the point of alshabab, people who wont allow others to tell them what to do. Our history is also filled with stubborn war loving people and thousands of years later we still havent changed, just look at the state of somalia today. Although this is a negative, it also have some positive to it. Back during colonial times we saw african country after african country being colonized, somalia is one of few countries that have actually fought back. We saw westerns a threat to our religion because they would try to convert our young, a threat to our language because they made us speak their own language, a threat to our culture and our way of life. Look at us after colonization, we were LITERALLY one of the few countries that held on to our language, our religion, our "cultural" clothing, our norms, etc. Im not trying to lecture you but i think you should give us a chance. I was like you but only worst, i went to a all somali school, had all somali friends, bought our family's food from somali shops, went to a all somali mosque and YET i still didnt feel like i fit in. My parents want me to be a doctor lol i am studying environmental law and i want to work with animals. I want to go back to africa and petition a land that is a safe haven for animals, like elephants, lions, zebras where they can roam freely, kind of like the african safarie that exists in kenya.
I guess what i am trying to say is you need space to develope a chance to grow and to find our what YOU want to be and do with your life. Right know you are being pressured into conforming but you really dont need to.
"I also hate how Somali girls are such attention seekers, I'm glad I've never made any Somali friends" - well i went to a school with somali girls and i know what u mean. I have a few somali friends now, and the ones i do have is the people I CHOSE to be around. The majority of my somali female friends were either alshabab lovers, niqab wearing, dugsi going, wife-aspiring chicks, or they were back biting bi.t.c.h.e.s. who loved to gossip. But you find these kind of people in all ethnic groups and races, i finally found somali girls who were like me, who cared about the enviroment, who love to hike and go on hot air balloon rides during the weekends, and rock climbing and who have intellectual debates and who dont gossip behind your back and who arent superficial.
"I find Somali guys really unattractive" u could date and marry whoever you like as long as they are muslim, its what our religion teaches us.
"I also hate how Somalis look down on other blacks and think that they are superior it's like shut up there's nothing to be Superior about. " Not only that but we call them racist names like garaar and stuff, its disgusting. Its time for us to be educated and that starts with school where they teach you what is politically correct and why islam doesn't allow it. Somalis wont take anything useless you address it from a religious point of view.
"I hate how all the Somali guys look at me and give me this death stare just because I don't have any Somali friends and how I am hanging around with Non Somali boys." we somalis are judgmental people, i say eff those boys because at the end of the day all they can do is stare, they cant do anything to you.

I'm Somali too, 18 years old. I totally get what you're going through. I'm also not attracted to Somali boys. But it's just all personal preference. Not all Somalis are shady or attention seekers. You can't generalize an entire community based on some people. It might not make much of a difference to you, but you have to embrace what you are. Don't hate it, just be you, if not wearing a hijab is what you want go ahead. But you shouldn't take it to the point of hating what you are. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you are, Somali, mixed race or whatever.

Firstly im Somali and similar to you. My GF is some hot white chick and my parents think. I Can't date and I have to marry a Somali **** no. Im marrying my gf for sure. The difference between me and u is that im not insulting my people to get where I am if u want a white boy dont go bashing Somali guys. Nobody gives a **** what one Somali girl is doing lol.
Btw your main problem is that Somali girls are deemed unattractive by most non somalis and what makes u even more unattractive is that u hate yourself.

God made you a Somali, He loves them so much He gave His sons for them like the rest of us.
I am a Mexican American and I love Somalis. I keep in touch with Somali Christian Ministry, and have spent time with other Somalis as well. I honestly have wanted to travel to Somalia for years, but am afraid of the safety concerns. I know that not all Somalis are terrorists, but it only takes a few to make things chaotic. But truth be told, there is so much beauty in that country. I also consider most Somalis to be black, though they may have mixed Arab ancestry due to Islamic conquests.
Pastor Andrew is a great guy and knows how it feels to be an outcast Somali, mainly due to his Christian faith. Still, he reaches out to the Somali community with love. You can reach him here:

Here you will find a step by step guide which will hopefully give you a better and deeper insight into how it is possible for you to make money from Binary Options trading https://tr.im/zkjiY
You will first need to know what exactly Binary Options trading is, whilst this may seem like common sense many people just have a vague idea of what is involved and the exact risks attached to any trade, so make sure you fully understand the difference for example between actually buying a fixed asset and trading in Binary Options as the two could not be more different.
Next you will need to become something of an investigative journalist when you start trading in Binary Options and by this we mean you need to have a nose for a news story that is going to have a dramatic effect on whatever it is you intend to trade, and one way for you to do this is to keep fully abreast of all the daily financial news stories as this is the only way you are going to be able to make an informed decision on the movement of any Binary Options you are trading.

I just want to say am a white guy who converted to Muslim. I have found in myself that I really am attracted to somali woman over any other Muslim woman. I actually haven't been with any other woman but somali since my conversion. Am just saying that there is sometime out there that will like you for being somali. Just be religious and be good and someone will come. I am in fact a born American and I love Somalia. I always read articles and try to learn as much as i can about the country. All my friends are somali

You see penny stocks are high velocity, fast move, fast paced investments that you don’t typically hang onto for a long period of time. Understand how simple it is to make money with penny stocks https://tr.im/0SHkZ
There are exceptions of course. Sometimes you will find some long-term trades that pay off big! Other times you will get into what are known as swing trades and those can really pay off as well. Most of the time though, profitable penny stock trading is all about the short game.
In most cases you will buy and sell the same stock within a week. I’m not talking about day-trading which you may have heard about before. That’s a completely different game with a different set of rules. (It’s also a bit more risky.)

If you have been struggling to fall pregnant, there are some useful tips that may help to increase your chances of conceiving and prevent miscarriages. Read here https://tr.im/8znQp
Follow a healthy, balanced diet by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as foods that are rich in iron, calcium and folate, essential for reproductive health
Maintain a healthy weight as being overweight or underweight can affect the body’s hormone levels which in turn makes conception difficult
Healthy weight loss can increase chances of getting pregnant; however, too much weight loss can affect a healthy pregnancy
Regular exercise such as walking, swimming or cycling will help keep you fit and active before and during your pregnancy. It will also help get you back into shape after the pregnancy
Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine as this can make you less fertile

Be proud you are a Somali girl.
Focus on the positive instead of the negative.
Learn your culture and your ethnicity that will probably help.
Somali women are very educated, well spoken en pretty. Tall dark and beautiful features. Man are mostly tall dark and handsome and also very educated. Most Somalis are nice people. Some rotten and lost but that is with every culture.
Somalis encourage individual choices but can be very greedy when their daughter comes home with a cute non muslim guy which is understandable. Somalis are just very passionate about their daughters and sons when it comes to marriage but hey are at the same time the race that marries a lot outside their ethnicity. This is the aftermath of tribalism and it is completely normal to be an individual and step outside your community if you want to.
Nothing wrong with being a somali. If you hate tribalism then do not mix with it.
Hate is bad emotion and perhaps you can talk to a psychologist.

Somalis think they are black Arabs and follow Arab teaching from Arab countries.
Their women are prostitutes in Middle East and and all over Europe including East & West London is full of Somali ***** traders.
