<cite> @Gheelle.T said:</cite> ^Whites kill more whites than any other race, what's your point? There is institutional racism deeply ingrained in this country that effects lives of millions daily. And don't even start with the "broken" criminal justice system that disproportionately incarcerates more minorities than whites. Ayaan became the mouthpiece for the conservative Christian right wings groups and would say things the white men wouldn't say in Public. Well my point is Mr. Geeljire, if we are going to pick on white officer shooting blacks, how about the thousands of whites who die on the hands of the blacks? There is enough blame to go around. And as far as institutionalized racism goes, u dont have to look further than Somalia. How are minorities treated there? Isn't that ingrained in our minds to not marry Somali Bantus, Barawanis, Midgaans, and those other undesirables? Its just the way the world is sxb, it sucks, but thats how it works. Majority always makes the rules (right or wrong) and minorities always get picked on.

There is a lot of Anti.Police sentiments, but without cops, criminals would be running wild and doing whateva the hell they want. So this is my appreciation to the men in blue. You guys are true hereos.

<cite> @Gheelle.T said:</cite> ^Dude you're justifying police brutality and their racism toward minorities. What have the young black kids in Walt-Mart and in the Park in Cleveland done wrong to be killed? When Police don't even give you the chance for you cooperate or worse treat you like a guilty person from the get go, there is nothing you could do to safe your life. Sxb I am not justifying police brutality, all I am saying is sometimes people put themselves in a situation where the outcome is predictable. Believe me, I've had really bad experience with cops just like everyone else. Everytime I've had an encounter with the cops, it wasn't because they decided 'Oh look, a Somali, let's go harass him'. Its not like the cops just show up out of the blue and just hassle people for no reason. What happened to the Walter Scott in S.C and Michael Brown in Ferguson is sad and reprehensible. But where is the personal responsibility? What were those two doing before they got killed? Where they involved in anything they shouldn't have? Again, I am not justifying the shooting death of those two. But just saying the outcome was to be expected.

<cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> Apparently Ayaan is not following the mass murder of black men and boys with impunity by racist white cops. What mass murder? If the US was truly a racist country, we wouldn't have heard about this to begin with. The fact that it's the leading story in all the major news outlets should tell you otherwise. African Americans kill each other far more than whites kill blacks. Infact, there is a reverse racism where blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks. Look it up if u don't believe me.

Well, this is how I look at it. If you aren't doing anything wrong or illegal, then u won't have to be afraid of a rogue cop shooting you at the back. Most of these recent shootings involved someone who was doing something they shouldn't have and quickly escalated into that. Not saying it's right, but don't put urself in a position where cops are called on you. And if that happens, be very cooperative and respectful. It just might save ur life.

Mogadishu is coming back.

Inaa lilaahi wa'inaa ilaahi rajicuun. Waa musiibo wallahi. Ilahay ha u Naxariisto, janadii fardoosana allaha kawaraabiyo. Waa naxdin.

I am glad someone has recorded this, because it could've turned out differently and it would have been his words against those of a dead man.

Che no one is arguing that America doesn't have its problems with race and other issues, but it's still way better than most other countries when it comes to how it treats it's minorities and women. It's not just her or us Somalis who are reaping the benefits of what African Americans had to go through, but every other race. If it wasn't for African Americans paving the way (sometimes with their own lifes), most of us wouldn't be here.

And he did get charged with capital murder and can face the death penalty if found guilty. No need to shoot someone on the back when they are running away from you.

Ask yourself, would most blacks want to live in Africa or stay here in the US? I don't believe many would choose to leave en masse to go back to the Motherland. That was what she was getting at.

I owe him an apology, confused you with that CidanSuldan guy.

Congrats to him.

<cite> @bilan said:</cite> I believe she was tired about people talking and writing about Somali and their culture like we don't exist, this guy launched a journal without bothering consulting with the Somalis who are in the field, and when he was questioned about his omissions, he said that basically you don't have anyone who is good enough. Gotcha, thanks. Well at least we got our Safferz on the case.

Shaqo fiican Saff.

She is correct about the U.S being the best place for women and other minorities, but I do disagree with her views on Islam.

I've read this thing on FB and on other Somali sites and still don't get it. Maybe I am lil slow on the uptake, but why are people getting upset over this thing though?

MMA what is't like living in Nairobi nin yahow? I heard it's very expensive and the locals aren't too fond of Somalis with all that's going in their country. Stay safe sxb.

Tallaabo, that's all good, but he shouldn't be coming here to air his laundry and trying to get a sympathy from us. It's a female like trait in my opinion.

Not trying to get involved in this, but I remember this Saalax person being staunch separatist 2yrs back. And he has now done a complete 180 degree turn. Don't be the type of person who changes their view every time they don't get their way. Principals matter in life sxb. And tomorrow if u get what u want, you'd get right back to ur Aflagaado. Somalis are Pirates, iyo Amisom, iyo waxaan loojoogin.

Doesn't look too bad. Link up with my man Alpha and post some pictures.

Good luck with what you are looking for.

Looks nice.
