Your days on SOL are limited, ma istidhi?

I agree with Chimera that "white superstructure" is redundant, a lot of critical race theorists have used Marxian concepts of superstructure to point out that economic privilege and power is intertwined with racial hierarchies/whiteness. Anyway, back to cringeworthy Somali rap music:

lmao I've seen that, might be the worst Somali rapper I've ever heard. At least he's cute

I will be in Ethiopia June through August, but hoping to fit in a short trip to Hargeisa. I would love to go to Mogadishu though, perhaps next year.

This is from a play, and like many plays its songs discuss and contest ideas of morality and womanhood in Somali society, and the meanings of tradition and modernity.

I love her lol

Y would both of u guess otherwise? I would have guessed something in the humanities based on the way you write and think about things.

I'm guessing to take an evolutionary psych course means he probably majored in psych, or perhaps biology or something related and took evolutionary psych as an elective, no?

She's very pretty, but everyone in that vid could use an extra 20 lbs lol

lmao I've listened to it a few times now and it's actually growing on me.

I'm crying lmao

SomaliPhilosopher;940193 wrote: affleck wrote good will hunting. how can i hold sadness for him. the suspect. That's a difficult question. I think I felt sad for him as well, in some ways... I kept trying to imagine the state of mind of the "hunted" today as I was watching the events unfold, wondering what he must thinking and feeling, probably hiding somewhere injured and terrified and knowing that it is only a matter of time before his life comes to an end in one way or another. I am sad that at 19, he made the choices that he did and I hope we can find out why. But that's where my sadness ends, because at the end of the day he is responsible for so much physical and emotional pain and heartache in this city and he doesn't deserve our sympathy. This photo in particular is still haunting me, where he's caught in the same frame as the 8 year old he murdered: Blackflash;940194 wrote: It's not the issue of unfair generalizations I'm failing to understand, my problem lies with the reaction to any criticism I or anyone else gives. Even when discussing the potential case of a Canadian-Somali student playing a role in a Mogadishu attack the other day, a friend of mine immediately deflected the blame on to the Canadian government, and their supposed inability to 'understand' the Somali community. Why can't one discuss endemic problems, of course taking in to account any perceived obstacles (discrimination, prejudice etc.), rather than wait until said obstacles dissipate? Fair point.

SomaliPhilosopher;940187 wrote: I am sorry safferz I am not familiar with such saying. Is that some sort of sexual innuendo. If so, such advances are not appropriate on this site. Lets keep it professional. lool no, in this case it means you're making a failing argument and reaching for any idea/interpretation/argument you can think of to make it work There is nothing sexual about straw.
