LOL @ Druzila. What a choice, but to each his (or in this case HER) own. BTW the woman in 101 Dalmations was called Cruella not Druzila but there is not much of a difference anyways

First of all there is no question that we are african. Our country is found in AFRICA, therby making us African. Secondly, we are black. Thanks to Western ideas of "blackies" and "the dark continent" people have these ridiculous notions of what Africa and Africans are supposed to look like and act like. Like somealien said, Africa is not homogeneous, we come in many shades and our cultures are different. Just because somebody from our country may not necessarily look like somebody from Burkina Faso doesn't make us any less African. As Patrice Lumumba said "Until we Africans write our own history we will never be free." As long as people keep clinging to the colonialists history books, then the truth of our history will never be told, because they will never allow it to be told.

That's really good to hear

Lots of true nomads up in here, well let me add to the list. Born in Ivory Coast, lived there for 8 yrs, moved to Kenya, lived there for 5 and then moved to Canada and have been here ever since and can't wait to get up out of this cold and go back to the warmth of Africa.

yeah that's right

I went to I.S.K.( International School of Kenya) from 1990 to 1995. I didn't graduate from there though because my family left Kenya way before my graduation.

It wouldn't surprise me if the jews did control the simpsons since they control everything else media related. By the way Haniif your "pinky and the brain" sig is dope, I love that cartoon

Wow. This administration is really a team of geniuses. :rolleyes: They are extremely brilliant. Bush and his words of wisdom and now Rumsfeld. Good luck to the U.S.

We need world aid organizations to get their shit together and help our people. An educaton and aid program needs to be put together on a massive scale. Walaahi if we knew all the answers we wouldn't be in the situation we are, but we have to make do I suppose.

I'm going to break it down for you guys, it's like this: In America, WHITE=BEAUTY, BLACK=UGLY Black men have been beaten over the head with that ntion since the days of slavery. They have been taught and trained like a puppy dog to hate themselves and others like them. It is due to this self hatred that they want white women. They are looking for the furthest thing from them. It is sad, but true. As for the music videos, you won't even find black girls in them and if you do, they are light as hell or Latina. North America is a white man's world and he will do anything to keep it that way. He will do anything to spread his ideology and maintain a position of dominance. By cutting off the black slaves from their African culture, they have managed to alienate them completely. Therefore, the blacks of today have no frame of reference, they are desperately trying to relate to the white man's culture because it is the only one he has ever known. When in reality, the white man hates him and always will.

As long as people deny the fact that khat is harmful and AIDS is deadly and spreading faster every day then the situation in our country and Africa in general will never get any better. It is up to those of us who have been fortunate enough to receive an education and a chance to help our people. Education and awareness about AIDS is crucial. It is a race against time. I read somewhere that if things progress the way they are now, within the next 10 years, Africa will be completely ravaged by the epidemic. We really need to act now. If we hope to ever see our country again and see Africa as it once was, then we must fight for it. Peace.

I have the biggest oxymoron of them all right here: Government Intelligence

LOL good old Africa. I miss it.

That is fantastic news. I'm really happy to hear something like this, maybe we have one foot in the door now.

I can't believe this. It is completely ridiculous, instead of concentrating on serious matters they are focusing on something as damaging as Khat.

Idil you are exactly right. The problem of AIDS in Africa is increasing everyday and it is due to lack of education on the disease as well as lack of resources. Our country and others in Africa are in need of desperate help because AIDS is not going away anytime soon and we as Somalis need to help our people.

I'll be there for sure, hope to see all my fellow Somali people looking good and having fun in the sun. Peace.

Well Naasir, since your IN DEPTH research shows that we(females) lose our education after marriage, maybe it's time we took a long hard look at the men we are marrying. Just a thought.

Confidence is the only accessory you ever need.

Oh my sister you are so lost. First of all Somalis are NOT Arabs, we are African and we should be proud to be. I know several Somalis who think that they are better than other Africans simply because we do not look like all Africans, but the truth is we are AFRICAN and we should love our African brothers and sisters as we love our Somali brothers and sisters. Abaayo, I wasn't born in Somalia either and my accent is horrible when I speak, but that does not make me any less Somali. Is it my fault that I have never been to my homeland? No! But it is still my homeland. When asked where I am from I proudly say Somalia, I do not say Canada because when someone asks you where you are from they do not mean your country of citizenship, they mean your country of origin. You should realize now(and I'm sad to see that you haven't realized it already) that you will ALWAYS be seen as an immigrant and never a true citizen, a piece of paper does not change your identity. I do not mean to be too harsh, but I think you need to be told bluntly. I hope you got the picture.
