Macalin Posted December 27, 2003 LOL SOCRATES...happynewyr sxb..ama see u @excel right?..lol Umm Yea, i dont know if this guy is any professional or what like a social worker or pyschiatrist, i mean what authority does he to classify and oversimply(as my himble bro above said) issues that are really really a thorn in our community. What i have a problem with is his simple one shot look at the issue(more like a comedian on comicview views),he just mentions stuff that are irrilevant....Also he doesnt have any solutions to the problem facing the community.

Reality Check Posted December 31, 2003 That was the ridiculous article I have ever read. Good example of older Somalis lack of communication with their children and lack of parental skills. They probably got used to the community raising their children back home and now they come here, don't learn the language, talk to thier children and blame the country they chose to live in for problems with their kids. If this was meant to be an informative article on the state of the somali youth in america, it has failed to point out the REAL problems of these children. I guess it's easy to blame the haitians and the jamaicans for their children misbehaviours!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raage Posted December 31, 2003 once again i have no time readin all that i got other things to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bambina Posted December 31, 2003 Salam nomads , I found the article very informative about the somali youth. Sadly, the cultural gap between somalis and the western world can be very harmful and TV doesnt help sometimes,specially when some rap artists advocate the importance of the bling-bling (nice cars and houses)and a total disrespect for women ,treated as prostitutes most of the time. But it is true that the lack of commnunication between parents and children can attract young somalis to the black-American culture.Parents must not only play with children but also learn them their culture but foremost Islam at an early age so they can overcome the West's influence. It is important not to blame the TV and parents all the time but our individual responsabilities as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N.O.R.F Posted December 31, 2003 afkiina hooyo waa malab eh ku hadla Nice post, i was a group 2 member, came to UK very young, before approx 95% of the somalis who live here now and under totally different circumstances than that given in the report with regard to US based Somalis. I think the report generalised the whole Somali community in the US and is very misleading. :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
