Where’s the smoke for Karen?

They claim to be black when them folks get on their asses and when it benefits them.

We don't want you to recognize as us either. We are our own people. Yet you will still copoff our everything as these rest of the world does . They world as a whole is always trying to combine all dark complexity people with Black Americans. We good on everyone!!

You played in boyz n the hood....shut up nigga you black

I feel what he saying. But I promise you when he out and about he dresses like a Black American, enjoys hip hop/rap, loves some black woman. * but don’t categorize me as “black” Yea fk u

Yeah,yeah,yeah still nigga

you don’t have to identify as black, but the world will seen you as black whether you like it or not. i think it’s unhealthy to deny reality

All these niggas be dumb for saying that shit the Somalis, Africans, Caribbean, Jamaicans, Dominican. Like nigga you are Black you just not American black

Everyone is the world is black, white, Asian, or some varying mix of the three. There’s no way around it. Your nationality is seperate from your race, but racially most Africans are black. Not to be confused with the American Black ethnic group but they are racially black. 🤷🏾‍♂️

So using your own logic, they don’t teach the difference between race and ethnicity in Somalia? “Black” is not a place they’re saying you come from, it’s a visual identity marker. If you had black and white stripes and a tail, they’d call you a zebra.

Most Americans in the comments seem to have some sort of mental illness

Thank god nigga cuz we anit claiming you either

All somolians are gay as fuck and weird?

Bro look like a indonesian rat

Identifying as black isn’t a choice.

But they do it when them folks on their asses like this fraud right here all of a sudden she’s black. 😂🤣😅😂

The concept here is that if someone faces racism based on how they're perceived (e.g., labeled as "Black" by racists), they might respond or defend themselves using that same framework, as it's the lens through which the prejudice is applied. It doesn't erase personal identity but addresses the immediate bias.

Yes, based on her CNN interview, Ilhan Omar seems to be conveying that idea—addressing prejudice through the identities (like being Black and Muslim) that fuel the targeting, without negating her Somali roots. It's a response to perceived bias. On the IQ claims, they're often rooted in outdated stereotypes; data shows intelligence varies individually, not by group.

I wanna punch his face!

#Domalis brag about their culture from every other location place theyre in UK they in #USA bragging about #Somalia culture but they are NOT in Somalia

I never understood that word. Indian are dark skinned but never called black.

I am 1000% ok with Somalis or ANY other group not claiming to be Black. Just keep it that way, & dont try to be “black” when convenient.

How do you know I’m Somali ?

being black is like sooo bad to them. but a lot of people who do have black ancestry don’t even wanna claim it yet. they want to wear our street style. listen to our music and enjoy the rights that they have in america that was built off the backs of our black ancestors

Exactly immigrants enjoy the fruits of our ancestors labor.

I say bitch stop using black folks lingo and use some mf Somalian slang…str8 like that

He’s saying the truth.. Somalis aren’t black . They’re not of the west African stock. they are Hamitic/Nilotic stock same with Eritreans , Sudanese, Chadians etc.. genetically we are very different

Somali’s have a hard time calling themselves or identifying as African. So of course they have issues with being called Black.

Bro, black white or brown are the only ones you can be I don't know why people think race isn't based off of skin color. You could be thousand percent Mexican and be white and still be Mexican but you are still white race based off skin color ethnicity is based off DNA

My reaction after watching this knowing that hes still going to be considered black & seen as black in the USA regardless. 😭 :

Ight. Deport this nigga

I fuqs with that. Americans are so sensitive about race and have made it their personality. Just by the way, the term “black” is used in a few countries especially in Southern Africa and despite the painful and violent history it comes attached to, it is embraced and celebrated.

You sure about that?

Kenya is not considered "Southern Africa" . Read for comprehension not to react. If you want to "nit pick" then "nit pick" ALL THE WAY.

Why is he talking so slow. He’s kinda mixed about where things come from but I feel him on the whole control thing.

When it comes to benefiting them they turn black. 😂🤣😅

let them blue lights catch u in a sundown town after dark I don’t think they care that u a pirate

People got more anger for him than the post of the white woman calling black people all types of slurs

Wrong. You’re just making up stuff. The term “Black” was not used to separate slaves from Europeans. We decided we wanted to be Black and proud in the 1960s. It was a movement. Which is why I reject the term African American.

@TruthSeeker4u2 That’s why I feel like “Black American” makes more sense. Just because our ancestors came from Africa doesn’t mean that we’re African American. I was born in America not Africa. I just happen to be black.

We had identity before a race two idiot, but it was taken just like our land just like everything else. Watch your mouth before you have to watch your house.
