[QUOTE]Originally posted by multisphinx: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IamNomad: [qb] multisphinx [QUOTE]Somalia(Ashraf,Reer Xamar,Shin shiyo, Barawaa [/QUOTE]You wrong in Somalia it is other way around if you belong to lighter skinned ethnic group, you are more likely to experience discrimination against you by the dominant darker skinned Somali tribes. Jareer (strong hair, bantu) and Jileec (soft hair, Somali) is nothing to do with colour at all it is simply ethnic division. 1- Reer Xamar simply means City people of Hamar some are dark and some are lighter skinned some have mixed with Arabs and Persians. the customary rulers and the Kings of the reer Xamar and surrounding area interesting enough are called and chosen from Gibil Madow (dark Skinned ones) of Somali Galadi tribe where Gibil Cad(white skinned ones) are the ruled ones up to today. 2- Shanshi is light skinned Somali ethnic like any other Somali tribe they have both nomads, farmers and city people unfortunately their very light skin makes them target of discrimination. the darker skinned Somalis sometimes call them foreigner. 2- Reer Barawa same like Reer Hamar it means People of Barawe city, some reer Barawe are lighter then most Somalis including reer Xamar and speak mix of Bajuni(coastal people) and Somali language because of their light skin and language Reer Barawe suffer most discrimination more then any other minority ethnic in Somalia. 2- Asharaf look like any other Somalis and are treated like any other Somali tribe except they claim to be a direct descents of prophet Mohamed and Quraysh tribe like many other Somali tribes which everyone knows now is bogus. In Somali culture white skin is associated with femininity where dark skin is associated with masculinity. many old saying go like these - "fear for you life for dark Skinned man and fear for your wife from white skinned man" ..lol -old days when woman cannot bear a child she will say. "If God doesn't want me to have a dark skinned son sure he can give me a white skinned son". which means the old Somali warrior culture to survive and defend the family you wish a strong and warrior son. ausar As Somali my experience up to now of Egyptian people of all colours and ages outside Egypt is always unique and very positive and treat me like a family and all the Somalis I know act towards Egyptians the same way I don't know if the people inside Egypt will act same as I am planning to visit soon with my Egyptian friend. [/qb][/QUOTE]Your right i did not mean it that way. These groups are discriminated against. But from what I have been told, Ashraf from example would feel superior to the populace because they claim decent to the prophet Muhammad(pbuh). Am i wrong on that one. I was also told that the Big tribes of Somalia don't like these minority tribes, but at the same time these minorities tribes are said to be stuck up and snobbish because they are light skinned. I have a question for you. Why do you think about the discrimination between the somali and somali-bantu? Can you tell me if they have any sort of similarities. I work with a lot of somali youth, and the somali bantu are soft spoken and feel alienated or outcasted around Somali's(a lot of time the somali kids would taunt them). You can unite a people by having them look at their commonalities rather then always looking at their differences. I know they are both from somalia, but what else?... Is their anything in their history that they share. From my current understanding of the the tribe system, once you have a new generation, you have created a new tribe. It was not until the notorious European-bred president Mohamed Siad Barre, who stirred up all the tension amongst the tribes and brought division and hate. Is my understanding right? [/QB][/QUOTE]
