Yes, i have seen that so called scientific evidence pasted 'bout a million times round here and it does not make sense to even my basic understanding of genetics... What is cushitic?...From my understanding, nothing but a black African, so i dont know why white scientists are trying to make out like a word being place upon a people means they suddenly no longer have a connection with the rest of the African population in Africa. According to these white scientists Sub-sahara Africa is black Africa but NE Africans only have 5% but 15% Eurasian - thats like saying Polish people have more in common genetically with Kamil Indian people than Lithuanian people.
This intermediate foolishness arguement is bull -GO AND READ HISTORY so at least you can see another perspective on the facts and stop being pig ignorant.

These white scientist? so is Dr Shomarka Keita from Howard University a "White scientist"?

The level of excuses and denial on some people is laughable but why don't you direct me which history you've read so i can look it up for myself instead of just telling me to go look for it? and again can you explain what is Black and White? are they...

A) a Color

B) a Race

Or

C) a Movement?

I say Black and White are movements since it's a social construct but what about you? do you think they're different races? if so WHY?

I have not said that Africa is not diverse but all i am saying is that one should not deny that some of the diversity which has emerged in North East Africa is the result of the introduction foriegn blood populations at certain time periods.

With regards to Shormarka Keita, it seems he is saying in the flim that AE's cannot be defined as black or white because it consists of a hybrid population, i dont hear him saying anything supporting...that Tishkoff?...scientific findings you like to mention at any opportunity.

I wish you would tell that to your new guy-friend over here, Abdi.
Issa actualy IS respectful in certain ways and is not the one here who is in need of this.. Abdi is. But I understand that you two (you and Abdi) kind of got something going on here. so i wont hate.

Ummmm, I know that abdi has his views on the white and black race, to me saying AA is a bit different then just saying black because this is also an ethnicity and can actually include people of several colors like caramel and brown...etc. Him and I have spoke on this before and SG1 has the same views on some points., should I jump on him for that too?

Issa and I have our disagreements from time to time but we're always respectful towards one another. I know you and abdi have your beef but thats between...you and abdi. BTW, that comment that you made about me not knowing any better and all was really uncalled for, I've had your back before and that didn't need to be said. Anywho, I am off to church now have a nice day.

Umm, I think you misunderstood me. I respect what others call themselves, I have no problem. I was just point out that from my prospective and experience, AA is a term not usually used to identify African Immigrants.

Ok, I suppose normally a lot of African immigrants refer more to their ethnicity but AA could really be given to anyone from Africa in America...you used the term reserved before and that kind of threw me off, thanks for clearing that up.

Exactly Kaley the issue was never about how people identify themselves because in my view people can call themselves whatever they want and i'll respect them for that but it becomes a problem when some people try to use it inorder to justify the MYTH of the "White race" or "Black race"

People can call themselves purple for all I care...hope you have a nice day.

Those Ugandans in your school didn't say "Black" before their names because they ASSUMED you were mentally competent enough to look at them and tell that yourself!
If you had asked them if they were Black they would have 1) asked if you were retarded, and 2) without a doubt said YES.

LOl exactly.

LOL, so this is your reason for not stepping up for blacks ? So I guess when some of your friends insult black people, many black posters here can use that same justification as to why they don't step up for Somalis..

Well, that`s what actually happened! The AAs/Blacks we have here teamed up against us, except you and I think the reason is because you`re not an AA. Rip313 is into a Somali girl, so he won`t dare to be in the AA side.

Say what? There yall go...tooting your own horn again. I am..and have always been on the AA side. No matter who I talk too I will always have loyalty to my people So don't question that again.

Like I keep saying. The only people I have a problem with the racist idiots that have bs to say about my people. I don't need to impress anybody...so u can kick rocks with that.

I don't care what any Somali identifies with and im not going to argue with somebody rather they should think of themselves as black or not. As far im concerned even tho we have your ethnic and "racial" differences. We all belong to the same race....that would be the Human race.

So im going to ask u. Please refrain from making false, and off-hand comments about me when u don't know what your even talking about. Peace

Hey ragga, I'm still waiting for your comments on the Sanchez 2005 study. I know you read it, so just say what you think and we can have a discussion. Why do you always avoid it?? Is it because it completely destroys your claims against Somalis?

I thought I ANSWERED it already?

From the time I saw SANCHEZ said that EAST AFRICANS is CLOSER to EURASIANS than OTHER AFRICANS, I know SANCHEZ should not be taken SERIOUSLY.

Moreover, he basically said a GROUP of PEOPLE INTRODUCED E3B1 into the SOMALI POPUATION, who do you THINK that MIGHT be?

The ONLY THING you have DESTROYED are the CELLS in your BRAIN.

What a weak argument. So because I moved to America, I should forget about my culture and how I see myself? Are you retarded lady??
Ok, you want me to call myself Black? Alright, I am Black..... Happy??? Do you feel good about yourself now? Geeeeeezzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!11
Actually, our Somaliness is getting threatened! This is why Somali mothers and fathers send their kids back home to learn about their culture (the ones born here). If we don't hold on to this culture, think about how we will be in a few generations. The first thing I am going to do with my kids is send them back from age 5-12 (of course that is if I am not living back home by then, which I hope to).
WE CARE ABOUT OUR IDENTITY AND CULTURE SO WE WILL NOT CHANGE IT FOR YOUR APPEASEMENT OR ANYONE ELSE. DO YOU GET IT????

Why don't you TELL ME what BILAD AL-SUDAN means in ARABIC and what BILAD AL-ZANJ means in ARABIC??

I'm not sure about the first one.

Idiot...acknowledging that you're Black isn't a threat to your African identity. Every OTHER sub-saharan African immigrant group is able to do it, and retain their respective African cultures.
I, as well, plan to relocate to Uganda to raise my BLACK children.

ISSA is just PARANOID.

I am sure this NIGERIAN has no PROBLEM with the word BLACK.
