Somalia is home to all sorts of people like you guys, me, reer xmars, canfars, etc.. Long live all the people of somalia !!!!!! (except the moryans that corrupted our homeland).

[RedSeaCoral]

im a somali individual and my parents and grandparents have always taught me and m siblings never to discriminate between bantus or other clans. not all somalis are like that guy, full of hate and no uderstanding. thank u for posting this video, im glad to see our bantu brothers living safe in america :)

[AfroSomalia]

Why that white lady is reffering to them as "these Bantus" these people are Somalis. They should not be called Banuts

[MIZZBORAMA]

thanka yuuu thankayuuu somali bantu thanka yuu. thanka yuu thanka yuuu dowla maraykan thanka uuuu

[jiimbaaroow]

thet are the best , somalida kale ee isku sheega haiye iyo daarood waa xoolo ilahay abuurtay, dadkani waa dad ilahay yaqaano iyo bini adannimada, viivoo baantuu, we love you, they are the real somalians

[joyf70]

They are somali we are all somali we are all brothers! soomaali baan nahay kulligeen!!

[Yonisaj12]

they are somali people no matter what they do look like.

[Ismai207]

bantus are NOT somali the ones that resided in somalia are muslims.... a nigarian muslim is my brother but because we share the same creed does not make him a somali same goes for the bantus they are NOT somali they are a large African tribe that live all over the continent and my friends this is not hatred talk or racism but the facts.... but still i got love for my ppls somali and bantus and anyone who loves somalia.... Viva Somalia

[maaruz1979]

stop calling yourselves 'bantu'...it was made up by a whte guy in the 1800's...you are africans; you are indegenous to africa so don't let anyone tell you you came to east africa in some 'explosion'; it was they who came later

[denverbabushka]

The vast majority of Africans are from Bantu-speaking cultures. There is no contradiction. And you are right--most other cultures came later, but there were a few groups already established as the Bantu migration moved across Africa from the east. Thanks for posting

[ebeledi]

@maaruz1979 i agree Europeans feel they have some kind of super knowledge to who is who and what everyone is. It is a shame that even some Africans today are refering to themselves as "bantu."

[Gaashiredlegirl1010]

@maaruz1979 ther is nothin wrong for somali to bantu to claim who they realy are and that dosn't make them les somalian Im mareexaan from darood clan my people claim we are arabs isaaq claim they are bani hashim somother somali claim they are shriifs nearly every somalian belive they are somewhere else ee daaya dadka

[fardos20]

[denverbabushka]

Thanks for your kind comments!

[suspendedb4]

u made my day wallahi heheheheh tankyoo hahahaha cant stop laughing at these funney people hahahahahaha no hard feelings bro but its awsome funney

[RedSeaCoral]

please dont take notice of what angrywinds has to say im a somali individual and my parents and grandparents have always taught me and m siblings never to discriminate between bantus or other clans. not all somalis are like that guy, full of hate and no uderstanding. thank u for posting this video, im glad to see our bantu brothers living safe in america :)

[Yaaw11]

MashaALLAH They look so happy. I'm definately sure they are somalis but I really don't understand what bantus are. I thought I know all somalis Jilaac and jareer, Banaadir and so on.anyway it doesn't matter da name as long they are somalis Love bantu

[cabdow123]

Bantus are Somalis, and Somalis are Africans. I don't have any problem if some Somalis believes that they are originally from Arab or any other races other than Somali African, but I won't buy that there is any difference between all Somalis including our Brothers and Sisters that we lately started calling them Bantu. We are all BLACK AFRICANS and we should be proud of it, and by the way, to a foreigner we are all blacks or Africans to them, not anything else.

[aanune]

Thank u AMERICA...this people really needed a better life... please take more and educate them.

[denverbabushka]

I'm posting this for you to show how destructive and ridiculous you are. May you find a better way to look at things, Insha'allah.

[RedSeaCoral]

please dont take any notice of angrywinds comments he's just an ignorant minority within the somali comunity who have no respect for his own people let alone the bantu people of somalia, im a somali individual and my parents and grandparents have always taught me and m siblings never to discriminate between bantus or other clans. not all somalis are like that guy, full of hate and no uderstanding. thank u for posting this video, im glad to see our bantu brothers living safe in america :)

[Lonebullet1]

@angrywinds embarrasing? please, ur the one who is an embarrassment you moriyan. Discrimminating fellow somalis, reer shabelles have done well for themselves, they work, they mind their own business, and lastly they are a credit to the Somali community the more than I can say for you so please keep ur filthy, jealous and stupid minded comments to ur self, you embarrassment.

[reppinofficial]

where is this

[denverbabushka]

Denver. There are also Somali Bantu farming projects in Maine and Idaho. Probably others as well.

[abdi6734]

Somali Bantus were the slaves that somalis owned

[itsapuma]

Your Oromo, descendants of the Bari tribes in Sudan, Northern Congo, Uganda, and Ethiopia. Who were pushed away from thier location by Zande people to their present locations. Zandes are Adamawa people who trace their origin to Jos and Adamawa area of Cameroon-Nigeria. Where I'm from we call then Northern Bantu, as they come from the same place Bantu descend from. Worry about your capital Addis which has been taken away from you by the amhara. Let this people live in peace.

[Alsomalii]

Abdi

its so shame you'r claming to be somalian.

You'r very dis respectfully person my allah inshallah give some hiday and take you out from dark to light inshallah

[denverbabushka]

Thanks! If you can post this in English I'd like to hear what you have to say.-LS

[melbournian84]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooool thank you dawlo amrecian

[kadar206]

kkkkkkkkkkkk dowlo marican thank you kkkkkkk

[4theblock]

god give them life they are poor have nothing in somali moryaanta sixuun aye ula dhaqmaan

[itsapuma]

remember Bantu means people. here is a deep thought on lingustic. arabic- mayia swahili-maji- lingala-mayi zulu-manzi amharic-wuha but i'm sure you can get by by just saying mayim. mbuti the pgymy deep in the primeval forest quench their thirst on a substance called Mayi. amazing through vast distances and clime the word that chooses to not escape our afro-asiatic link even though in weird varriations is something as critcal as water. a mother tongue always sneaks in somewhere. dig deeper.

[itsapuma]

dig deeper and keep on digging!!!!

[Zuugaan]

Soomaali= (waa faracii 14 oday)

In Somali males, 14 haplogroups were identified. The frequency of the clade E3b was 81.1%, including 77.6% of the haplogroup E3b1 defined by the M78 mutation. The Eurasian haplogroup K2 was found in 10.4%, and 3.0% of the Somali Y chromosomes belonged to the major clade J. Only 3.0% of the Somalis had the sub-Saharan African haplogroups A3, B and E3a*(xE3a4). Less than 2.0% of the Somalis belonged to the Northwest African E3b2 lineage

[itsapuma]

Your foolish to go against historical blood relations pouring in your viens. Brainwashed by demonic prayers to go against your own dna. but not to worry Bantu means "people" and we are always accepting and reconizing all people no matter of creed origin which includes you our african brothers and sisters, way more than your arab friends across in yemen. Work towards harmony in africa and see eden reviled again. PEACE TO ALL AFRICA.

[itsapuma]

somali wake the hell up? Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and asked why your killing yourself yet this bantus are harmonized. Does it hurt knowning that your a product of that rape and pillaging that you claim was laid only on bantus who remain pure. Look in the mirror and look at the modern day mulatto and their lies your history. Who is a Cushite but the product of both afro and asiatic relations. how do you claim a race as a mulatto people.

[AskariWaryaa]

You are extremely ignorent of anthropology if you believe that.

Somalis and people like us, cushetic speakers are indigenous to the horn of Africa. It is Bantus who are new arrivals who came to the horn 3000 yrs ago in the Bantu expansion. Oh and Somalis only have 15% foriegn Eurasian admixture, meaning we have very little, and are 80% E3b.

[MOE13377331]

i'm somali but, i never heard so call Bantu,is this new trent what a carzy people.

[toxobow4xamarcade]

[geel24]

Did your parents teach you to become a lesbian in europ???? and everybody knows the bantus are former slaves even they know it and I think slavery sucks if you ask me I feel sorry 4 every man that has been inslaved

[denverbabushka]

There were some Bantu people in the land now called Somalia before the Somalis came. Later, Arab slave traders brought more Bantu people from Mozambique, Tanzania, and Malawi. Both groups are Bantu. Both have the right to full Somali citizenship just as everyone born in Somalia does.

[underwriterguy]

Not true. The majority of Bantus in Somalia (all 2% of them) are the descendants of the people Arab slave traders first brought approximately 300 years ago from Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi. The remainder are the descendants of the people that first migrated to East Africa in the Bantu Expansion of 3500 years ago. Prior to that, the Horn was exclusively inhabited by Cushitic Somalis, Ethiopians and Eritreans. So while Bantus can claim Somali citizenship, they can never claim Somali ethnicity.

[denverbabushka]

Of course. But the Bantu are much more than 2%. While most are probably descendants of slaves who arrived as late as the mid-19th century,substantial numbers did arrive in the migration you mentioned,before the other groups you mentioned. Do you like the term "Somalian" to describe people born in Somalia, as opposed to "Somali" which easily gets confused with the ethnic group? I think it might be a useful way to may the distinction.

[AskariWaryaa]

The entire East Africa and the Horn of Africa was once occupied by Cushetic and Afro-Asiatic people only.

The Bantus only came around 3000 years ago during the Bantu expansion to the East from West Africa. The expansion reached kenya and some parts of southern Somalia. But they never really assimilated with the Somali people.

[kingmusti1]

they call themselves bantu cause they know the r not somali.and i read that they were the original inhabitans of somalia.wrong they were sold by arabs to us.those are not a clan or tribe they are a another entnic people and race.but peace to them.

[kingmusti1]

not entnic somalis exslaves they act like somalis maybe.but i hope they will get a better life their.

[PartyGirlnya87]

hi I'm 21 woman hot hit my url to see

[BuuhoodleSoljah]

OUR BEST HARDWORKER PEOPLE ARE OUTT..

[madina55]

Ok, so why are they calling themselves Bantu???

Somalian=Somalian

What is it with people putting differences in there community? OMG

This is one reason African will still take lonnngggg to prosper.

[jiimbaaroow]

the real somalis are the bantus, i love my brothers god pless them

[AfricaNooS]

Abdul you are an idiot. They are not all descendants of slaves. Only few from the Jubba river are. Most of them are mixed with ethnic somalis to the point that they became members of other Somali clanes. They are our people just mixed with othe tribes and as someone else stated the midgaans and yibirs were the most discriminated clanes in Somalia. What about them?

[YaaWalad]

most discrminated against are somali bantu...and wallahi i am not even lying my family back home owned 3 bantu's working in their farms and camels, cows and goats and so on...this is in the region of bay, bakool..they dont even speak somali...they speak af maay..

we saw the potential in these people and invited them into our culture and land...

w w w . allsomaliforum . co m

[AfricaNooS]

When I was younger I thought midge was caay and a term of insult. I find out later that it was a clane. Midgaans are discriminated very much too and they are ethnic Somalis. As a Somali I know that our people are very tribal and as I stated before even ethnic Somali clanes are discriminated like yibirs and ofcourse the midgaans.

[YaaWalad]

i dont know who they are...im sorry

but these people are bantu and they speakin af maay..which belongs to eelaay people.

w w w . Allsomaliforum . co m

[AfricaNooS]

I agree with 1000%.. they speak a Somali language with much bantu influence called Af MayMay. But i am talking about the Midgaans who face much, much discrmination and also the Yibirs..

[YaaWalad]

Af maay is not a bantu influenced, what is your problem?, Af maay is a Cushetic language, much different froim the somali language (af maxaatiri)

i have to say i love these people though...

w w w . allsomaliforum . c o m

[AfricaNooS]

really?? War wallaahi I thought it sounded different from Somali because of Bantu influence but thanks. i just search it on google and saw it was a Cushitic language and not Bantu... I love these people too. I love all Somalis. Peace be upon all of you..

[YaaWalad]

yes its a cushetic language and it actually has a lot more arabic influence than bantu..

[denverbabushka]

Please feel free to write more about the Midgaans. I may want to include their story in the film, too.--Lauren Swain

[Imaan97]

bantu ppl are better then other somalis who r racist and mean 2 each other in fact all the minorities are good ppl

[mabdi7]

keep it up good my bantu friends.

[andewanderer]

Hey Babu!

Nice footage. I like the way this is edited and I dig the song as well! Tankayu!

[Adenmussa]

This will be my ring tone kind of loving it. hahahaha.

[Abdul78699]

they r not somali. they were slave.

[denverbabushka]

Anyone living in America can be American. Anyone born in Somalia can be Somali.

Anyone surviving slavery deserves the respect of others-just like everyone else.

[BBabyGurLLL]

denverbabushka... why did you remove my comments...

[denverbabushka]

Sorry. I left your best one up. The ones between you and Abdul can go--forget about him. I'd be thrilled to have more comments from you. Please feel free to post again.

[mabdi7]

yo shut the fuck up we're somalis. bantu people are well respected people in somalia.

[ThePestControl]

God bless to this original people of our nation Somalia. They are in Denver and making the garden of love. And there are other settlers in Ohio chewing chat from they they arrived USA, on benefits for life.

[jbearden]

"You will find there is room for us all.", M. Ghandi.

[denverbabushka]

Somali Bantu are mostly descendent of slaves brought by Arabs from Tanzania, Mozambique, and Malawi. There are also native Somali Bantu who were there before the Arabs arrived. The Bantu continue to be oppressed in Somalia to this day. In the US there has been some friendship and cooperation between the Bantu and the Somali ethnic majority. I hope this understanding will grow, eventually reaching the shores of Somalia to put an end to the tribalism there.

[BBabyGurLLL]

Not only Bantus were treated bad but also Midgaan and Yibirs. We Somalis need to unite and need to get over all this tribialism who've destroyed our country.

[keerow]

If this people are not somali then how can daarood who claims jabarti be somali?

Stop the la jiifiyaa banaan la joojiyaa banaan. i say they are as soomaali as caano geel.

[Stahiel]

this people life Somalia long time. And Abgaal people knows them very good. Becouse wen that Great Abgaal born dai his mom who was a Princes. Her child was growed bay a Lady who belong to this people. you colling that they are not origenly a Somalia. They life Somalia Longar then you can imagine.

[nasty106]

They are not somalian 100% they faked where they come from you tell they do not speak somali n they do not look somali ........sry but they are only PUNTLAND not bantu

[YaaWalad]

WTF is wrong with you focking hoe...not every somali speaks somali..

[Xorinimo]

we are all the same peopele and we are from the same country.. sow why be racists on your own people??

[StraightouttaSomalia]

somali bantu guys who lived in my community in kenyan used 2 say dat dey r not somali and are africans. we call dem names and showed dem hatred dats y dey ran away from us..dey get more respect from ethiopian chrisitans den us muslims..we r racists simply.

[proudSomalisis]

Nice. But are they gardening in Denver? Anyway...congrats to u all for ur hard work.

[morevoltn]

GOD BLESS ALL THE SOMALIS.

[knulladig]

We are all somalis and brother and sisters. Even in our religion.

[qalaliyow]

well, she will join the millions of the down trodden negroes before her. little does she know her "tanki yous" will soon turn into a nightmare. I like though those Bantus shipped to Chicago were met with a demonstration and some even got arrested for disorderly behaviour.

[denverbabushka]

Things are working out well with the Bantu here in Denver. Most all of the time Americans here have been receptive and helpful to the Bantu. I would like to know more about what happened in Chicago, if you'd like to tell us. And just because a few idiots protest that does not constitute a nightmare.

[wyldfiyah]

Forgive me, i'm a bit lost, just who or what is a bantu? From what I know Bantu is a group(family) of languages in Afrika, is bantu the name of these ppl's tribe? Is that what they call themselves?

[AskariWaryaa]

They are called Somali bantu, because they are not ethnically Somali. They originally came from Tanzania and other parts of southern Africa, many of them still speak their old languages.

[YaaWalad]

are slaves taken to somalia by somalis and sold to arabs...this is whats left out and they claim refuge in the US.

w w w . Allsomaliforum . c o m

[AfricaNooS]

incorrect and 100% false. Search on google and see what you will find there. Arab omanis and yemenis brought Bantus to Somalia. Somalis were nomads at that time and not a people who could be found in larger numbers like the bantu populations of south eatsern africa. And also we were Muslims and the Arabs didnt enslave Muslims. The Swahili people who are Muslims sold many of non muslim bantus to Arabia. The habeshas used to sell Oromos and other Cushitic people to Arabs.

[gaajo99]

There is a lot good in America, even though their foreign policy is satanic. Somali minorities should be # priorities for immigration. Hawiye, daarood, isaaq and dir can all eat each other in Somali if they wish. Sure they want to make them Christians so what! An slave wants to be saved from slavery and that is what the Bantu were in Somali simi-slaves. VIVA BEESHA SHANAAD{SOMALI MINORITIES}

[gaajo99]

As a Somali minority{beesha shanaad} I am glad to see my fellow minorities the Bantus in America. They were oppressed by their own muslim black .finally American Christians give them hope. Its sad that a Christian rescued them from total-Enslaver. Shame on you laan dheerooyin!!!!!{big clans} my allah damn u all to hell. Somali girls sleep with blacks in north America and marry them, but they would never dare to marry their own Somali Bantu muslim brother. THANK U AMERICA

[Dalmarow]

Ohhh My Daays LOOOOOOOOL................... TANKAYOO DOWLAD MAREYKAN HAHAHHA... SHE MADE ME CRACK UP, HOPE THE BEST FOR THEM PEOPLE, THEY ARE STILL SOMALIS AFTER ALL.....

[kenya1998]

It doesn't matter if u are Bantu, Hawiye or Darot, Diir, Issack. We are all one. One day somalia will inshallah go back its hey days.

[lamrof]

I am Ethiopian. I am pleased to see this. Excellent to see my Africans feeling good.

[kurasinho]

[abdiqanilog]

THANK TO BIG -UP THANKS YOU USA

[talktalk2006]

Big Holla to Brothers of Somali Bantu, you are an integral part of Somali and Somali will always need you , without you Somalia is not Somalia, i am just sad to see all Somalis scattered in the world, make the best out of your new home.

[Said001]

[lolkom]

<b>go back where????<b>

[Said001]

[Eliza500]

So many Somali BAntu people have joined our community..it is nice to get to "meet" them here. Thank you!
