SOMALI MIDDLE CLASS

[Nuriya]

I was scratching my head, trying to figure who you remind me of, Layzie...I finally figured it out!...you're the somali Ann Coulter, the female Bill O'Reilly. Spewing nonsense for the sake of spewing nonsense. Sorry, I can't help it if my "Nur" can see through bs... Nothing personal, it just annoys me when people talk about stuff they have no idea about.

But as mentioned by our sister Faheema, we digress, let's return to the topic of class. I think both you and Marc need to re-reference a dictionary to find out what 'middle-class' means. Based on your definition of 'middle-class', the chick with 10 kids by 11 baby daddies is middle class, so is the one who uses her welfare check to buy herself a Lexus. Hmmmm, let's think on that...

Completely Nephy. This social ill is also on the increase, especially in recent years. It seems those who drink have no inhibitions, which is completely alien to Somali culture. The increase in the number of Alcoholics also coincides with the rapid influx of secondary European Somali migrants. [/QB]

Did you mean second generation? You definitely have a point on the growing alcoholism of somalis. Btw lower class and damn proud of it .

This whole discussion made me think of a scenario where 100 people screamed their lungs out calling each other's name - imagine the confussion! - only to find out they all had the same name "SOMALI" the difference was not about the name but who can scream louder or can hold the highest note!

The middle class has disappeared long time ago - Now you're either dirt poor or well off.

I too have problems understanding how old retards under threat from senile dementia epidemic, sweeping out of touch SOLers still manage to write at all, albeit it complete and utter bile. Why not age gracefully and stop picking fights with people in their prime NG.

I find the mentality and manners of some forum posters to be lower then the gutter.

[NGONGE]

^^ You know nothing, woman. Nothing at all.

 

First there is the centre of the earth, then you have the gutter and then you have the sky. Those in the gutter are most definitely Middle Class.

[Nephissa]

are you admitting that you're in the gutter? or that you're an exception to the rule?

[NGONGE]

^^ I'm Somali, my dear. These rules don't apply to use. We're the ones in the refugee camps at the back.
