They piss on your head, and you think its raining . Well said and I agree. esp bearing in mind the frosy relations between Jams & Soms in London.

Bluelicious Posted May 18, 2012 OdaySomali;831651 wrote: LOL I have yet to see Somalis defending or care for other Somalis as they defend other ethnicities ranging from Ethiopian domestic workers, South African looters and now not-so-funny Jamaicans. p.s. Bluelicious, I have not been 'hurt' by Jamaicans no, but there are countless elderly Somali women in London who are harrassed, abused and have their headscarfes pulled off by Jamaicans because of their disdain for "Somalians". As Chimera said, perhaps Somalis should familiarise themselves with, or ask a Somali living in London, how the Jamaicans feel/behave towards you Somalians before you laugh for insults/jokes that are rediculing you. For those of you who are not from the UK/London, Jamaicans have a severe hate/dislike for Somalis; they also have a tendency to try distance themselves from "dutty" Africans for some reason. The fact that his 'sketch' is even about Somalis, i.e. we are the topic, says a lot. For Jamaicans, "Somalian" is used as a pejorative word, hence why in the sketch his 'friend' asked himself "A Somalian, be cheeky with me?" so for someone from the UK to be laughing for (insults presented as) jokes that are blatantly ridiculing them, is just absurd. I find it unacceptable that you attack us with insults for us having a different opinion then you and just because we laughed at a video how silly is that. We are entitled to have our own opinion and don't need to have the same opinion as you but we do have to respect each other and each others opinions. You can't just insult someone for having a different opinion then you because that says alot about you and your intelligence. Nowhere did we advocate that we like Somalis to be bashed or are against our own community those are just your assumptions about us. You are taking this way too serious and making a mountain out of a molehill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narniah Posted May 18, 2012 Like I said this is just Comedy, if some of you are too sensitive and can't take a joke, well too bad. I found the video funny, If you don't like it that's your choice no one is forcing you, but there's no need for the needless banter. People sometimes are going to say something about you that you might not like, tough luck it's part of life. Somalis can be racist too, and you all know it so chill a lil.

You were not here at the time so I thought it was my responsibility to defend me you and the others. It's the least I could do and he can't talk like that about you since you were the topic maker. No one talks bad about my ride and die chick OdaySomali - I accept your apology but you have lost my respect because of your small mindedness. Ps All of the things said to OdaySomali also apply to Chimera. You guys are overly sensitive men. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdaySomali Posted May 18, 2012 Bluelicious, too bad that what I said is true: But the funny thing is that even though what I said may sound extreme ("Tyrone, the sangadhuudhi gaal, son of Shaniqua, aan xaarka iska maydhin, descendent of slaves and drug-induced thugs is trying to talk about Somalis"), tasteless jokes go both ways, but its illuminating that you find the Somali version entertaining but are offended by my Jamaican adaption Tyrone/Shaniqua = Typical name for them. Gaal = majority of them are, our pal Richard probably is too. Sangadhuudhi = its something that he is, Somalis use words to describe people by appearance (cad-cad, timo-jilic, dhego-cas, jareer, nick-names e.g. cali gaab, buur-madoow etc. ... its not neccesarily pejorative. Gaaladu xaarka iskama maydhaan, no istinja = true Jamaicans are decendents of slaves = fact. Smoking weed is a Jamaican pastime, no joke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is that i'm not going to sit there and denigrade myself by laughing at & pretend to enjoy what is blatant and relentless pejorative caricaturing, entirely negative, targetted at my ethnic group. Not least because it speaks volumes about the underlying views that the person holds of Somalis that he is now disseminating to many others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop right there don't put words in my mouth I never said that. I couldn't care less what you are saying about them, I was talking about myself and the others not about your Jamaican version eventhough your so called joke was true you could have formulated it differently. It's not what you say it's how you say it and it came across to me as you being angry about our replies that's why I said so much hatred in one post besides I was talking about the whole post not one lil part.
