Fabregas Posted May 4, 2008 OK check this: u start a chattin 2 a Mali( some u don't know, but is boppin with some freindz u know)...... they ask what endz ur 4rm in Somalia ? eg.North/ Dirty South/Westside/ East-side.?.... So u Say X-side.......... then they say oo this "hood" " ........So you say.... naah not really bruv, just sum were ner dem endz......just a couple of bus stopz away next 2 da Qhudac tree....... Next thing manz like....what endz r u from?(tuulo/city)........so finally u give a town..........And then there comes the bombshell: " Are u Bloodz fam(clan)? So u nod your head reluctantly......... I think it is rather rude and arrogant for someone to try to guess what clan you are after meeting them, especially youngsters( what are the parents teaching them these days?),who grew up in the West, and thus have no man's businesses in this nonsense! Then again, is it something natural, ie something embedded( to wonder?) in the Somali Genetics? p.s I don't want to know what Tuulo ur from.........

Ibtisam Posted May 4, 2008 Loool Abu, I have not heard of such madness. I don't think anyone every asked me or tried to guess where I was from till the exposure of SOL. It is sad really, soon they will start a little clan war in the west or something. :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walle its a bad bad habit we[somalis]have..hortaa is it possible to be friends with somalis that arent from your neck of the woods[clan]..from observation,you would see friends tend to be from the same clan or lineage...or its just me and my croocked vision...Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted May 4, 2008 Okay, perhaps the approach is a bit dodgy but in all honesty why is being asked qolodaad tahay such a big deal? It's like being asked which country you come from? Trust me, I get asked both all the time and they seem to be conversation starters in my neck of the woods. Though, I sometimes wonder what islaamuhu think about in the silence that follows my response to their 'eedo qolomaad tahay’. To me, there's nothing at all special about being from a certain city, or qabiil or nationality, so the details of these categories are just superficial data that you (unfortunately) share with many dhoores and dhoongos, and a few cool folks, off course, who all happen to be your immediate relatives. Why turn it into some special classified information that only immediate family members are meant to know? Silly mukur, if you ask me. On the other hand, you get those who wear their qabiils on their sleeves and seem to be waiting for an opportunity to tell the world which silly Somali clan they belong to. You even have ‘I’m reer hebel’ groups on PT and Face Book where they’ll be like ‘I’m reer hebel too, woohoo’ … and your point is… ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
