WHAT ARE YOU FIRST?

[Khayr]

If someone asks you what are you?

What do you say in response?

This is a question of identity and what you identify yourself with the most.

 

Khayr 1. Muslim

2. Then Somali

3. Black

 

Please list your responses in descending order (1 being the Most etc.)like I have shown.

3.Black

[Ladiif]

It depends who asks the question; Somali or non-somali.

[Khayr]

For those fools who identifying themselves with themselves first and foremostly-you are FOOLSSSS!!! :rolleyes:

You are not a seperate entity. Our identities are shaped by external influences. What community do you identify with the most?

No being/person creates their own identity.

You identity is formed by your thoughts and experiences that are nurtured by your environment.

[Kool_Kat]

Runaway^Virgin, must you steal the answer from my head?

 

What fool would ask "What are you?" A more appropriate question would be "Where are you from" OR "What's your background" OR Something like that... I haven't seen anyone ask me What I am...

 

But to answer the question: I AM A HUMAN

Then Somali

If they can't tell the color of my skin when they look at me, then OH WELL...

[Khayr]

For those of you who said that they identify themselves most as HUMAN when responding to the question of What you identify yourself with (e.g. culture,nation,group etc.)?

I will say this, your answers reflect who you are and your level of intelligence!

NUFF SAID

[runawayvirgin]

Thanx khayr........is our intelligence that abvious b/c we're trying to hide it!!!!

[-KIWI]

"For those of you who said that they identify themselves most as HUMAN when responding to the question of What you identify yourself with (e.g. culture,nation,group etc.)?

Wow your identity become away of determining your intelligence,must be a new invention which is introduced by our somali ppl iam guessing!

I some how couldnt rehearse the appropriate smile if there is such thing needed in such acclaims.

Neverless iam going to let others ponder on the credibility of such statements which is made by some of us.

:eek:

Now you wonder why i have always hated the smugness in people. :rolleyes:

 

All i say is keep throwing those invisible bunches at us! :mad:

To all those that have said that white people didnt know where somalia is at, thats kind of funny, i had problems with many black americans who didnt know where it was at.But anyways, when asked that question this is the order i try to put it in
