Please Can I have my yacht back

[amasuEnd]

@Bulllseye2012 Well thats what the reactions usually are, when Some rich western couple invades the soverign and territorial waters of a nation. Maybe next time they should know international laws?

[qayre254]

[yourstereotype]

[808thampire]

Somali sounds like Arabic! WTF!

[xxsasunaruyaoi13xx]

@808thampire That's because somali is 75% arabic

[partygurl499]

@xxsasunaruyaoi13xx

how the fuck is somali 75% arabic...yall people are white and we are AFRICANS, if somali and arabic sound the same because i dont speak arabic and never will be you guys as arab people or white whatever you wanna call it stole it from as ...

[xxsasunaruyaoi13xx]

@partygurl499 I am talking about the language you dickhead. How am I white you cunt. I am AFRICAN. Its not just BLACK people who live in Africa there is Whites, Arabs, Indians you name it! You are just ignorant and you need to know that AFRICA is a continent not a country and it has the most countries in the world so obviously different races of people who live here.

[partygurl499]

[IceBoxInYaHeart]

@partygurl499 Woah! Iss deji. He/she is right, Somali is about 75-80% Arabic. FACT. That doesn't mean we're Arabs or that we speak Arabic. We're still Somali's. It nothing to get angry over...

[partygurl499]

@IceBoxInYaHeart

[xxsasunaruyaoi13xx]

@partygurl499 You stfu I proved you wrong. Go die in a hole :|

[partygurl499]

@xxsasunaruyaoi13xx

first i dont live in south africa and hold up why did you go to africa if you dont like africans...and somali is african not arabic bcuz somalia is in africa and some somali pple are dark and some are light skin juz like everyone else..ethoipians and somalis are kinda different than the other africans so you dont know nothing about africans so jus shut up

[xxsasunaruyaoi13xx]

@partygurl499 the Somali race has Arab in it. and WTF are you talking about why would I not like Africans I'm African you tramp! Who told you to reply? Huh so just gtfo of here

[partygurl499]

[AskariWaryaa]

Its Allah

Allah means God in Arabic and most semitic languages.

The original Bible was sent down to Jesus in a Semitic Arhamaic language.

Guess what in Arhamaic the word for God is..

Its ALLAH!

Read some books, don't be ignorant all your life.

[AskariWaryaa]

Well God created you, and provides you with everything you have.

So if you want to insult him be my guess.

Thats between you and Allah!!!

Good luck sista and well done.

[bubfruhbi]

wow why do you people alway's have to say something nagative about somali people, we are the proudest people on the planet. Besides i wonder why people chat shit about somali image in the world and stuff. lool it's not about what others say or think about us it's what we think of ourselfs that's what matters. Representing Somalis and Somalia Breap Breap!!!

[abukar29386]

'bubfruhbi' Your being very arrogant here if somalis really did care about themselves why do they still fight over tribal differences? We can not learn to progress and unite amongst others until we are fully comfortable with our own people and that means putting tribal, clans, subgroups or whatever its called aside and move forward as one. But ignorance within the somali community helps keep tribal conflict alive.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@bubfruhbi rageedi baad tahay walaalo, keep the spirit up brah, wadani sideedokale baa tahay.. nabad galyo

[717PA]

the non entity above this writing, who cares whether you hate us or not, we sure will not be loosing sleep over you. Foolish idiotic person. Funny, how you wasting your time envolving yourself with the same people you profess to hate. It's kind of Frauding, you hate black but, you busy exploring their pages funny that. More like you are obsessed with black people. Get alve and disappear to your own race.

[YEELKEED]

Waaw, she is really good her pronouciation is perfect. Her accent is mainstream too. I am so proad to see others embracing our language, shame our own people have chose to forget our own language. Afsomaaliga si fiican baad ugu hadashaa, aad baad u da'daashay walaal. Guul baad ka gaadhay afkii.
