[lilmizzyhani]

tell the k`naan <3

[Prelestnost2]

We are stronger than you, we can survive more adversity than you. While you people in the first world are coddled on anti-depressants and junk food, we smile while we are malnourished. We will outlive you and you will eventually learn from us. Hell, you _came_ from_us, we are the cradle of civilization.

I dunno, maybe a little more pride rather than the immediate gratification of finding who to blame would be prudent.

And I'm assuming by feminine you mean he actually sounds educated? And if you don't like him, why are watching this video? Stop trying to start fights.

future Somali politician right there

[TheSistaWarrior]

interesting how the interviewer makes an apologetic disclaimer when making the reference and analogy to israelis in America supporting Israel. This shows who has power in America and who does NOT.

[AimeeViolette]

@jahmbo that was absolutely beautiful...you've rendered me speechless. Thank you for that!

[jahmbo]

now both one of the worlds' largest economies. Africa has yet to see her Renaissance, but placing responsibility and blame on the rest of the world will only stagnate this progress.

The concept of the 'third world' was not originally supposed to denote poverty and hopelessness. The term was originally coined to describe a 'third way'. Not the capitalist third world, not the former communist/ socialist second world, but the third world - we don't need the rest of the world, we'll do it our own

[jahmbo]

My mom went there to work for the UN in 1986. She raved about what a wonderful city Mogadishu was. How amazing it was to get real Italian pizza and bread in Africa. People were so nice. Yadda yaddda yadda. She brought back a cool Somali hat. Now what? What the hell happened to you guys? How does a country get that fucked up so quickly? And don't blame it all on the America, please. Japan/ Germany were utterly destroyed after ww2 (hiroshima, dresden) and they are now both one of the worlds' larg

[poo1ization]

real talk :) i think he has a broken nose :P

i also already thought he's like 2pac in a way. Way different too but similar in a lot of ways.

[sudanesgal]

dem i even learned some new vocab words from watching this videos

[funkymonkey666]

I think Somalia would have done much better for itself had it enjoyed the colonialism of european powers. I suppose things couldn't possibly worse than they are now.

[KmaC2464]

@funkymonkey666 Well not really, they would most likely be a Muslim state right now if America didn't influence the christian nation of Ethiopia into invading Somalia. America whispered in the Ethiopian ears that Muslims will destroy your way of life etc etc and so Somalia is back in chaos instead of being stable and Muslim lead.

[funkymonkey666]

@KmaC2464 Well, that has absolutely nothing to do with the failure of Somalia to become a successful state and any connection with their lack of a colonial history.

If they enjoyed European colonisation, they would have enjoyed the infrastructure and stable traditions that Europeans have tended to bring with them.

At the end of the day - things couldn't be worse than they are today. Maybe fighting off invaders was a poor decision because it kept out foreign innovation and investment.

[KmaC2464]

@funkymonkey666 but along with colonization and European influence is a loss of the culture of your own. It's already been long proven that European culture does not apply and work for other cultures without force and suppression of native cultures.

[KmaC2464]

@funkymonkey666 and that kind of has everything to do with them not becoming a successful state, they were becoming a successful state and were invaded.

[mr41ststreet]

@funkymonkey666 you are one donkey!

[MsHaimen]

@funkymonkey666 How can a country 'enjoy' colonisation. secondly what do you know about somalia to give a vague assumption of how 'things' are going over there. Educate yourself on somali culture and somalia, and you'll find that things just aren't as easy as you put it.

[yasmina570]

[zman55405]

Somalia is a antihegemoy nation and will never be occupied by foreign nations, therefore it will rather selfdestruct than to be ruled by imperialism. Viva Somalia and all of africa which have suffered the same fate, due to inhumane acts of the western world. There is a war on Africa, war on Islam, war on middle east the oppression will continue unless we unify and help our people in Somalia in Palestine in Iraq in Afghanistan etc. Why are these nations allies afraid to take a stand?

[EbClectic]

@zman55405

yeah, but please without religious nuts- of any religion.

Ethiopians are our enemies, they should leave us in anarchy for all I care.

Nobody wants their rescue. Fuck Ethiopian government, fuck that hateful regime.

Goverment or not.....Somalia does what it has to do to survive and fuck everything else

[ahfaz21]

haha

[tigrelyl78]

Seriously, I dont know whats worse... nationalism or religion, excuses to spread hate.

[jayarhess]

agreed.

[ThemAdamBlacks]

C'mon to say religion is an excuse to spread hate is a false sweeping statement. In actual fact almost the opposite can be said as most religions in their true essence teaches morals and commands their adherents; not murder, steal, or commit any other sins but instead to purify their souls and submit to God.

Although I agree with you that there are a number of evil or misguided individuals who utilize certain religious excerpts out of contexts for their own personal agendas.

[straypome]

@tigrelyl78

Nationalism is not Imperialism...It is the repercussion of it.

[Tigrinja]

We Eritreans got your back! Long live the Horn of Afrika, the roots of human beings.

[alelmi100]

somali pirates are origenally fishmans i'm not going to defend them but its true that toxic material and illegal bouts across the sea of somalia so the pirates has right to attack any ship cross the somali sea but not going so far into the international seas or other counteries seas like yemen

[youngguus]

haters shoutta fuck up,

[vutEwa]

oh stop whining about things knaap. want to be respected? take your money your wealth your prestige and your play and go coordinate your people to form a peaceful nation again. the reason for your problems is within not without. the respect of others follows the respect you have for each other. this is a law of the universe. stop fighting amongst each other and reform a republic of a free and sovereign people and then the world will respect you again.

[ebargoma]

It shouldn't matter whether they respect themselves or not. You will never allow someone to walk into your backyard and dump his/her trash regardless of what is going on in your house.

[zondoeguitar]

dale1966gto - u suffer form a disease called ignorance.

[elshowgun15]

big up my somali brothers...this egypto/venezuelan brother has love for yall!!"

[alelmi100]

big up too my bro elshowgun15

[dale1966gto]

oh, yes we, the white people of the world, could have conquered and enslaved every one of you long ago. somolians and their culture have never, ever contributed anything to mankind. only taken. the world would be better off without you or your ignorant people. you have nothing to offer the world. our importing you guys to the u.s. have never used toilet paper or a flush commode. how productive could they ever be to us. they will forever be a u.s. liability.

[callyvinn]

you speak as a full qualify moron who thing just like a ignorant american, but any educated person would understand why someone like you would say what you say, Hi5 moronnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Righteouspowered]

Its after the end of the world...don't you know that yet?

[homeboysandman]

authority of self!

[figebornu]

Blackened? Black is not negative. It is wonderful.

Stop the hate. And as far as the division, and trouble in Somalia, it lays at the foot of the U.S. and Europe.

If people could somehow be left alone, they would be just fine. But no, fukers in the U.S. govt. can't rest unless they cause big stress.

[CynNichol]

figebornu, would you stop bad mouthing the US & EU. Africa leaders have fed their people with propaganda & apparently you have bought it hook, line & sinker. The problem in Somalia is due to its leaders & people. They need to assume some responsibility, & quit blaming others. & if you must blame someone, blame Raila Odinga. Also disgusting are other foreigners like this vid maker who blame the US. Well, it gives him something to talk about, & that's all it is... talk.

[SoFlyCee]

If you feel that the West is absolved from the problems of Africa then you my friend are quite delusional.

No, I am not saying they share all the blame but I feel they do share a decent amount.

Please don't make up your own alternate histories

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, I didn't make up anything. And if you think the US owes Africa anything, you're wrong. And btw, I don't think we've ever gotten a thank you for what we've done there. Your victim mentality doesn't fly anymore, sofly.

[SoFlyCee]

Excuse me? you deserve a thank you? for raping people's lands and destroying their culture? Bringing tribes and groups of ppl together into countries and creating artificial boundaries?

um the US wasn't involved in colonization, what are you talking abt

But they did dump toxic waste on people's shores, if you don't think that is inhumane then that is a personal problem, yes an apology in that case is reasonable smh

let's not begin with your victim mentality please

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, you will find that the Luos & other radical Muslims have thrown the African continent into turmoil. The US won't get a thank you for things like humanitarian aid because that aid went to African leaders like Odinga who bought himself & his guerrilla thugs new Humvees.

You have fallen for one load of Islamic propaganda if you think the US colonized Africa, or dumped toxic waste on African shores.

[SoFlyCee]

Really do tell

the Luos and the "other radical Muslims" have thrown the whole of AFrica, 53 countries of Africa into turmoil.

Please tell me the countries they have done this in and tell me is it comparable to the Europeans dividing up all of Africa with the exception of Ethiopia. Hmmm let's put our thinking caps on for this.

I clearly said US wasn't involved with colonization, oh and no it's not propaganda, it's fact just bc you don't like it doesn't make it any less true.

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, in 1964, the Muslim leaders of 27 African nations got together in Egypt, & they decided to ban together against the US in the UN. That was 40 years ago... Luo Odinga's father was there & likely Obama's father. Is this the US involvement that you have a beef about? If so, me too.

Odinga is leading a pan-African jihad, centered in Kenya & Sudan (Luo's homeland). Pick just about any country in Africa now & look for him & al Qaeda... many Africans think it is old tribal battles as usual.

[SoFlyCee]

You clearly have no ground to stand on to start throwing in irrelevant things like aid and humanitarian reliefs in this convo, please stay on topic.

What "Odinga" does can't be said for the entire continent of Africa, you do realize it's a continent right?

I never said the West shares the whole blame, I said that they share some and most ppl don't find that unreasonable. I am very critical of Africa and I am objective enough to also see that their leaders and governments are messed up

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, the billions the US has sent/is sending to Africa is irrelevant? Then you may agree with me that it should stop. African leaders are corrupt... Arabs have brutalized Africans for centuries... and still you buy into how bad the West is. Who do you think outlawed slavery in Africa? The Brits.

I find your US-blame ridiculous & I don't care what most people think.

[SoFlyCee]

It's irrelevant in this argument, take a logic class.

Are you using money that the us has sent Africa to defend them dumping toxic waste on people's shores?

Really? Is that what you're doing? I don't think that's justifiable by any means. If that isn't what you are doing then why are you bringing it up?

Arabs have brutalized Africa? I'm from Nigeria and Arabs surely do not brutalize my people. Africa is a CONTINENT

Slavery only had to do with the west not the east. Im speaking of colonization!

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, the Arabs have occupied Africa's east coast for centuries. They also built kingdoms along the Nile to Lake Victoria, Kenya. Why? To trade in ivory & slaves (today it's piracy, oil, other). There was also slavery in the western part of Africa, but on the entire continent, whites did not go in & capture the African blacks for slavery. You have a very naive view of slavery.

[SoFlyCee]

and you have created your own alternate history, agree to disagree

peace

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, seriously, you need to visit a library & grab a few books on Kenyan/African politics & history. Skip Multiculturalism books. My comments on African history are fact.

[SoFlyCee]

Practice reading critically!

I said the US is not to blame for colonization, they weren't involved in colonization. But if they are dumping toxic waste on people's shores, it's WRONG.

Outlawing slavery? Are you daft? the US practiced slavery for like 200+ years. What the hell type of logic is that?

Like I said, the west does share blame of what is going on in Africa, whether they would like to admit it or not.

[CynNichol]

SoFlyCee, practice researching before you speak.

The US did not dump on African shores.

You have shown that you don't know the facts about African slave trading.

The West is not the problem in Africa, it is the corrupt African leaders.

[ebargoma]

You really lack the ability to stay on topic so even if you had something relevant to say, people will have a hard time taking you serious or listening to you because you jump from one subject matter to another. Constructive criticizm, not a put down.

[CynNichol]

ebargoma, perhaps you need to focus on the issues, instead of conjuring what the people of the world will think of my comments. (just constructive criticism, not a put down)

[cadaaawe]

K'naan iz True Somali!

[akaider]

great interview!

[ShockBack]

Somalian solidarity! Obama gets none of our votes as long as he continues to authorize murder.

[unifikation]

Viva Somalia... QUE VIVA!!!  REAL TALK!!! THANK YOU!!!

[Natturner187]

In the spirit of Lovelle Mixon and Our Somalian Brother and Sistas. Time for reparations for the blood thirsty krakkkas and pigs of the world.

[RealismOfLife]

agreed brotha!!!

[psea]

In the spirit of Lovelle Mixon? You're hella boosie for writing that. How about in the spirit of Oscar Grant?

[Natturner187]

Evidently you are the only one who is speaking some space talk.

Yes Mixon did 187 on 4 pigs, what part of that do you not overstand ?

Love to Oscar Grant , but now is the time for the warriors to go to work.

[shajane]

Interesting perspective, a pity we don't here this in the mainstream media stories. Nice that we got to hear his music at the end of the interview. With that said, we could have done without the overpowering bass beats while he was speaking, it was loud and distracting.

[Asture09]

Well done Knaan, tell the world about the truth in Somalia, not bloody sickening people in YT who are blackening the reputation of Somali people.

[CynNichol]

Asture09, today there was a media report that in Somalia the pirates are revered & prized as husbands because of their wealth. The Somalians don't have a problem with the piracy.

Gee, yet you say, the reputation of Somalia is being blackened? How?... because there is objection to piracy? How about Somalians stop admiring the pirates, stop their criminal activity, & earn themselves a better reputation? I guess it's easier to bad mouth the people on YT than address the real problems there...

[Asture09]

Cyn, you are either stupid or playing stupid, do you think people reading your cynical notes will actually believe you in thinking that Somalis are bad people, where on earth have Somalis ever accepted or praised those four or five pirates??? i need you to tell me that.

i don't know which world do you live in, don't be stupid, piracy didn't begin in Somalia but existed centries ago, you have blame Somalis easily because they are black and Muslims but hey they are very proud of being so.

[CynNichol]

Asture09, I was relating a media report... I didn't make it up. I am aware of the history of slavery in Africa. Muslims were and still are slave traders & pirates... it doesn't have anything to do with how proud they are of being black and Muslims. You are the one who is using the race card.

[Asture09]

Cynical, you are typical isn't, Muslims are slave traders??? where did you get that from? it surely must be in ur sick head hahaah, it like the way you try playing the card and thinking you are coming as convincing for any one reading your stupid comments, but hey people are not that stupid as you are, you clearly watch too much of Fox new which is full of shit and that is one of the factors you clearly hate blacks and Muslims and that too will surely but slowly kill you.

[CynNichol]

Asture09, slavery is a serious problem in many places in the world. If you aren't aware, you should get informed before posting more comments.

I don't hate blacks & Muslims, & your conjuring about hate is wishful but false thinking on your part.

[dale1966gto]

getting a country or culture free of blacks is the best thing a people could ever do for themselves. they will devouor you and destroy you. they are not only a drain but an extreme liability and will be your demise in the end. their dna is not consistent with success anywhere on the earth.

[ebargoma]

I am enjoying your exchange, however, for the record, Muslim/Islam etc... is a religion, not a race. Just like how Jewish/Jew is a religion, not a race. That's all.

[CynNichol]

ebargoma, I didn't say that Islam is a race. And Muslim is not a religion. Muslims are followers of Islam.

Islam is more than a religion. It is a totalitarian ideology... a culture, government, religion, legal & financial system, etc. Its leaders & its Koran preach global dominance, elimination of Jews, destruction of the West, etc. Also, its leaders have declared war on the US, & it needs to go from the US.

[ebargoma]

I really shouldn't respond to this but darn, I can't help myself. CynNichol, how many countries have military bases in the US or war ships in the waters around the US? Yet every where you look, you have US military bases and war ships all over the world. Who is really out to eliminate who? They spread themselves out so thin that they are incapable of protecting the people of the US.

I wonder if you are serious or you are just trying to rile people up for your personal entertainment.

[CynNichol]

ebargoma, the US has contracts & investments worldwide that it needs to protect. (The contracts have been signed with leaders of other countries if the obvious hasn't occurred to you & we give them billions.) Perhaps you would like us to be more isolationist? I don't agree with a lot of what Obama is doing, but you underestimate the American people if you think we can't protect the US. I'm serious.

[ebargoma]

so, you think that the US is the only one that has contracts around the world? The US is isolated from the rest of the world. We do not adhere to any rules and regulation thus the reason why we are hated. You keep talking about billions that the US gives or contracts. Do you know how much more we take from others? Especially those that barely have enough? How dense are you?

[CynNichol]

ebargoma, don't put words in my mouth... Your anti-US rhetoric is wrong. The US is part of the West that is hated by a large part of the world's Muslims. They are flooded with anti-US propaganda. It is part of the Islamic ideology to "Kill the Jews" & "Destroy the West". If you think they hate us for any other reason, you're wrong. Islamic leaders fight among themselves for power, treat their people like dirt, & blame any ills on the West. How dense are you?

[SoFlyCee]

No one is admiring them Aristotle, you can explain where someone is coming from without actually condoning it.

Obviously piracy isn't right but what provoked piracy ALSO was not right so let it go

shake that ugly angry spirit off.

[mrdaveyd]

Let it go CynNichol, let it go.. the world is changing.. these old ideas you are howling against are passes.. let it go.. LOL

[CynNichol]

mrdaveyd, you let it go. Blacks blaming the US for their problems is old hat... and plain false. The world has changed all right... we all see through your bs.

[thetyreed]

now you're off subject, Cynner. You lost your own debate.

[CynNichol]

thetyreed, I'm not debating... just making a comment that you disagree with.

[SoFlyCee]

because your comment is based on feelings and not logic

[CynNichol]

SlflyCee, and your comment is stupid. I gave some facts that you disagree with. It's not about opinion or logic.

[SoFlyCee]

uh yeah it is every argument is about logic, if you don't believe in logic you probably shouldn't participate in debates or arguments.

[CynNichol]

This is nonsense. We have Arab African blacks, Black Muslims, African blacks, African-Americans, black Muslim pirates, African black pirate freedom fighters, Somali Luos from Kenya, Kenyan Luos from Sudan, ETC.

& they all claim their problems are caused by the US & whites... so we owe them educations, ETC. WHAT A JOKE.

The reality: some of these people were slavers who sold their black brothers into slavery in Arab lands, the Americas, other (& still do.)

We need DNA tests to sort out who's who?

[AbyssinianSemitic]

CynNichol, I see you're still around spouting off your ill-informed, delusional garbage, GOD you're a simple-minded retard! Nobody even mentioned anything about "blacks" or "whites" in this vid, but i guess in your sheltered little world, everything revolves around colors. For fucks sake, turn off the Rush Limbaugh & Micheal Savage, and get out the fuckin' house and TRUELY educate yourself about the world, retard.

[CynNichol]

AbyssinianSemitic, & I see you're still around, with no facts, but lots of name calling. This vid is about piracy by blacks off Africa. I don't think that I was off base to talk about African blacks. & BTW, I have traveled worldwide, so you can let go of that false notion, it doesn't fly here. And say, why don't you offer up some facts, instead of just conjuring a lot of baloney about what I do?

[keeritz]

you seem to be someone who knows close to nothing about the history of the earth for the last five hundred years.. Read Noam Chomsky, William Blum, Michael Parenti, Howard Zin. You will learn that European Empires have plundered, raped, stolen, and murdered the countries of people of color, just like they are doing in Iraq right know. Not all whites are to blame, but their current and past leaders are. All the authors mentioned are all white men, people you will be sure to be comfortable with

[ImJustaLilCrazee]

Keeritz-true words. It went on in Asia, South America, Africa, etc. Anywhere "they" have an advantage, they take it. Nuff said.

[CynNichol]

keeritz, and black & Muslim leaders have done what? It was Arab African blacks who sold blacks into slavery. Blacks & Muslims have nothing on the whites. You are so caught up in your racist rhetoric & mind set that you are clueless about what is really happening in the world. You are just a silly foreigner who is likely doing nothing positive in your country, just criticizing others, demanding handouts & whining about your false perceptions of the past.

[figebornu]

shut u big stupid fuk. if u knew anything u would be singing a different tune. but because u r dumb, u talk the same way.

get a grip b4 u speak fool.

[CynNichol]

figebornu, thank you for the articulate expression of your views.

[keeritz]

Here is a quote by a pro imperialist White Male historian

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do. Samuel Huntington

Please CynNichol turn of the TV and read a book, or enrol in a political science course

[CynNichol]

keeritz, where have you been? Nations throughout history have used violence to conquer & defend against others, & this continues worldwide today. Your anti-West rhetoric is either Islamic propaganda, or just plain naive.

[keeritz]

read the authors I recomended. Read Noam Chomsky (a white man), professor at MIT for the last 50 years, the most cited author in the world. You will learn that the reason the west enjoys so much wealth is because it was stolen through slavery and colonialism.

[CynNichol]

keeritz, I'm sure that your research clued you into the fact that African Arabs & Swahilis (mix Arab & African blacks) were the slave traders. They captured African blacks (1 in 10 died from no food/water on the way to the coast), & sold them to Arab lands, Asia, Americas ETC from off Kenya at Zanzibar.

Re colonialism, the Brits outlawed slavery, & teed off the Arabs/Muslims.

Nothing was stolen. In fact, the Arabs also depleted elephants for ivory, creating famine. Wake up.

[keeritz]

Please I challenge you to tell me one scholor, historian or intellectual that can substantiate what you are saying. Name one. I understand you think the way you do because you listen to racist talk radio run by high school drop outs. Where are you gettin your information from, because what you are saying is utter nonsence

[Sultan1923]

You're a lot of talk and no proof. It's funny to see someone saying "Arabs did this" and "Muslims did that" when they have been brung no factual evidence. Even funnier is that you complained of blacks/Muslims supposedly blaming everything on whites/US, but now you're all on the bigotry bandwagon on Muslims, Arabs, and Blacks. So you're a hypocrite and a ignorant. I'm not surprised
