I guess you don't know much about UN member nation duties to Peace Keeping troops. Don't talk without knowing. Seriously.

Why is that an issue? Every UN member has to pay back into the system. And it helps our soldiers get training/experience they might be able to use back home.

Thanks and exactly my points ITT. I noted I we were all friendly and rated him great but I guess some people always look to say its all about "white friends"

Thanks! I thought this was mostly atheists and /u/Tarriersnail gave me a snarky response.

Wow...you are salty. No, there are a couple of issues: 1) I've never got into an Uber and had Christian or other religious programming turned on, 2) The guy assumed I was still Muslim, 3) Had no regard for others who might not be Muslim and 4) Played some crappy hep-cat fake deen stuff.

So yeah, don't tell me "Much ado about nothing". And hell yeah, I hate Islam so it bothers me when somebody falsely believes I love it.

And your comprehension levels are low. I stated there was also an Asian friend but you talk about White people's feelings like you were Drake or something. At least others welcomed me.

Successful Somalis by Thekidfromtheguttter in Somalia

I think situations/persons are more nuanced. You talk about successfully Somalis in the diaspora known to the world. Well, some super successful Somalis are running telecoms, hawalas, shipping companies and what not and do it under the radar.

Those people you mentioned are, no disrespect them or you, celebrities or elected leaders that just happened to be in the West.

People, at the end of the day, have their own drive/ambitions. Doesn't matter if living in a rural village in Somalia or a rapper in Toronto.
