View Full Version : Horn Africans are not Black

I don't mean to be racist. But the Horners such as Amahara's, Tigre, Somali, Afar, Oromo, Beja, Nubians are not Negro at all. We don't even speak Niger-congo langauge, our langauge family is in the same classification as Arabic, Hebrew, and Berber.

Many Afrocentrics will talk about Egypt or the Horn before they even talk about their West African ancestry. The only history that Horners had with Bantus, is enslaving them. It was not untill the Italians outlawed Slavery in Ethiopia and Somalia in the 1930's that Bantus were freed.

If Afrocentrics want to claim anyone in Africa why dont they claim North Africas (they already claim ancient Egypt as Black). If they want to claim anyone with Brown skin, why don't they claim Indians?


How do you feel about this.

Horn Africans have a lot of Arabian blood most of it interestingly on their maternal line. Though it depends on what you mean by Black,White, or Brown those terms are superfacial and have no genetic basis in reality. Horners are Africans though.

By "black" do you mean "negro"?

No one thinks you're negrid eg John Baker;

I feel as if Blacks(especially in the new world) try to use Cushitic people as a stepping stone to uplift themselves for things they have never achieved or looks they do not posses. I have literally witnessed a Black coworker get offended because others told her she looks west african (and she does), but she said she looks Ethiopian. Mind you I get second hand embaressment very easily.

Anyway, Blacks and Horners never get along, it is only Afrocentrics online who try to use our name, to some how prove something to Europeans. I am a firm believer that everyone should be proud of what they have, even if it is not much. I am from Somalia, despite some obstacles :rolleyes: I still am Proud to be Somali, and would never claim anything other than that.

Blacks should be proud of who they are and of their west african heritage, instead of running after women of different races and claiming to be Hebrews, Ancient Egyptians and other crazy things.

Smeagol

Yeah I agree, everyone should be proud of their own history. I think afrocentrists should stop claiming the Egyptian, Nubian, Horner kingdoms, etc, and leave those to their true descendants who live in those areas today.

West africans are a mix of pygmy and semitic tribes who moved west into africa then south about 3k years ago. You have some relation, but they have ancient horner mix not the other way around.

Nothing wrong with being African, even though it does not hold water where I am from. It's like telling an America that they are a 'North American'. Even genetics, history, linguistics, culture, geography all point us being different than Negroids. And I believe the vast majority of people know this, except for Afrocentrics who like to claim anyone who looks 'exotic'.


I believe this stems from the history of Blacks as slaves and colonization. Since they have nothing to point to in terms of history, as it largely revolved around slavery, they want to reinvent a history that they never had, largely by making up stuff like


1. They are ancient Egyptians
2. Horners are related to them
3. They are Hebrews/Jews

You can easily tell they are Somali, and look much different than the 4th and 5th guy from the left on the row standing up.

You can even tell by the hair. As Somalis have looser hair than Negroids, and we have high foreheads.

We are not Negro, but ofcourse are darker skinned.

Also, where does the Nilotid race come from?

Basically lots of back and forth between eurasia and SSA, with an original north african component that was literally nordic 6+k years ago. Which is why sami have the 'nilotic' component.

Somalis are homogenous and we are the same ethnic group. Despite having darker skin, we have different features.

You proved my point by taking a Black American who has heavy admixture and comparing them to a Somali.

2. Yes, they look VERY different than West Africans, their features are obviously very different

3. They still fall within the range that is considered "Black" in the Western world.

The term Black covers a wide range of African, or part African features in the Western world. Even Mulattoes who are clearly heavily mixed are considered Black. So Horners are still within the phenotypical range of what is considered "Black" in the Western world, it's all arbitrary anyways.

The Somalis he posted look like typical Somalis in terms of features. Somalis are ethnically homogenous and speak the same langauge and have same religion and culture.

Im well aware of Horner phenotypes. They have features that typically are considered more "Caucasian" though they are indigenous to the region. However, these people still fall within the range that is considered "Black" in the Western sense. It's an artificial term anyways.

Yeah, maybe, but I think this has more to do with their skin color, because they're obviously more Caucasoid when it comes to race. A lot of their genes also come from the Middle East.

By the way. All Afroasiatic languages came from the Horn, thus the reason why Some ethiopians speak Semetic and others along with Somalis speak Cushitic. There was even a time when Ethiopian Kingdoms controlled parts of Yemen and took over Kush which controlled Egypt for a time.

I am half Circassian half Bedouin(Shammari). My father is Circassian and my mother is a Shammari Bedouin. The Shammar Bedouin are of Yemenite origins. That said I do agree with you that the Afro-Asiatic languages probably appeared in the Horn. Actually Axum controlled Yemen, but they extend their empire further into the Kindah central Arabia since they wanted to spread Christianity but they were defeated and made to retreat. Then as you know the Ethiopian governor created cathedral in Yemen in trying to attract the pagan Arabians to Christianity, but none of the Arabians cared which angered him. Despite these historical enmity things got better and even alliances were formed, and today many of us regard Horners as our brothers.

Before Islam (1,500 years ago) Somalis and other Cushitic people were in the same empire (Axum) and viewed themselves as the same. It was After the Arabs sought refuge because of the persecution they were getting by spreading Islam, that they asked the Axum kindom for Asylum. The Arabs were allowed to practice their religion and settle in what is now Zeila (northern Somalia).

Ethiopians still have some regret because of this. Because after several hundred years, all of Western Axum became Muslims, and the Somalis had a ethnic awareness and saw Axum as the enemy.

Sadly the Somalis invaded. The Ethiopians were getting destroyed and asked for help from the Portugese. Something unheard of in the 1500's, due to Europeans enslaving Blacks everywhere they went.

In the End the Somalis got help from the Arabs, and Turks (OTTOMAN Emprie) and became the First Africans to use Cannons, and destroyed Half of Abyssina and won the war.

This is the reason why half of Ethiopia is inhabited by Somalis, and half the population is Muslim. Ironic since Ethiopia is the second oldest Christian country after Armenia.

This is in fact true, when Islam appeared in Arabia, it was prosecuted by the pagan Arabians. So the newly converts went to Ethiopia because they were told by the Prophet(PUBH) that the king of Ethiopia is good and a righteous king. This event is quite important because it enabled Islam to grow and eventually Islam was adopted by most of the Arabian tribes afterwards, when they migrated back.

It's quite ironic because Ethiopia or Axum always wanted to bring Christianity to the pagan Arabian tribes or those who adopted Judaism. The problem was the pagan Arabians did not want to convert to Christianity, but what is ironic that Christian Ethiopia/Axum played very important role in the spread of Islam.

However it was king Kaleb who eyed Arabia for Christian conversions, though later kings ignored this because the Arabians never converted to Christianity, but when Islam appeared the king Negus helped the Muslims take refuge. Thus the history took a more positive role.

Though I do agree with you with, Somalia entered the Arab league without a fuss since most Arabs and especially Arabians see them as kin who had close relationship, the same would be true of Ethiopia if it was mostly Muslim.

Funny how the politics of what happened 1,500 years ago still continues. Egypt sponspored Somalia and Djibouti (ethnically Somali) to enter the Arab league. As Somalis were surrounded by Christians. Egypt wanted to have a strong Somalia incase Ethiopia and Egypt went to war over the Nile.

I read an article that Egypt failed was outsmarted by Israel because it has strong relations with all the countries the Nile comes from, and this could mean Israel could use that as leverage. One of the first things Morsi did when he got elected in Egypt was try to Help Somalia with Weapons and military training so that she could get back on her feet, as their are thousands of Ethiopian troops inside Somalia.

This whole thread is rather pointless.

I think most educated people know that Horners and West Africans are two different people with very different phenotypes.

However, "Black" is an artifical racial category that is relevant to the Western experience. Both groups still fit within that general category in the Western sense.

Just like how "White" is an artificial racial category. I mean, Portuguese, Sicilians, Bulgarians and Norwegians are all very different from one another, but they all still fit within the "White" category in the Western world.

Just like how Indonesians, Koreans, Vietnamese are all different but still fit within the "Asian" category in the US.

It really is this simple. I don't think anyone here is arguing that Horners and West Africans are equivalent.

Somalis are not mixed with Arabs, as we came way before Arabs, our language is much older than Arabic. Keep in mind Arabs never controlled the Horn, it was Horners who controlled Egypt (destroyed Kush), and controlled Yemen.

the Somali look is shared by Ethiopians, who are the second oldest christian country and many other Cushitic people who are far inland inside Ethiopia who never came in touch with Arabs. Also Arabs have our DNA, not the other way around.

Somali people are generally a mix of mostly Eurasian males (85-90%) and mostly sub-Saharan females (70%) with a moderate minority of Eurasian females (30%). These proportions of ancestry are mirrored in their phenotypes IMO. Ethiopian males are a bit less Eurasian than Somalis (65-70%), but their females have a greater proportion of Eurasian lineages (ca 50%). And this is seen in their phenotypes also.

Black is a social construct in English-speaking countries with a past of slave trade (Atlantic slave trade), which de facto doesn't apply to any African.

However based on skin tone and other obviously tropical traits, Horners are kinda black, blackish...? There is of course wide range of phenotypes in Subsaharan Africa and despite major Eurasian influx there in some regions, there is like a continuum (almost uninterrupted) between the most divergent Africans and the Caucasoid-shifted Horners.

There are obvious genetic and cultural links from the horn to semi-arid West Africa; it is Saharan Pump and the Great Sahel that link the two regions.

Somalia is a part of Africa but when I look my family, specially Mum, sisters, bros, father and Grandfather's face they don't look typical African, they look totally different, the color of skin, the figure, etc. am not saying we are not African but we are our own race, we Not Egyptian either Arabs or Chinese. we just Somali. Example check my young Sister's look, and tell how does she look. http://i58.tinypic.com/qq5u1z.jpg

lol posting on this forum to gain validation from who exactly? These neckbeards who circle jerk on 19th century "anthropology" could care less. Objectively speaking though, if you share dNa with middle eastern, and SSA (which in itself is a broad term) , perhaps you can stake a claim as being part of both of the group.

There are numerous things which can influence the slightest change in human phenotype. Its just that we learn to notice how we differ from everybody else before identifying the phenotypical uniqueness of other groups.
