jarabuon,
Unfortunately Americanized is classifying people according to their hair (kama makamasi) and ignoring the massive history that the Abyssinians (and Eritreans) and Somalis (read The Land of Punt - a place where Egyptians visited from around 3500 BC and probably beyond) have that is rather well documented. His "facts" are very "afrocentric" in a exclusively 'negroid' oriented manner that is bordering on bigotry.

Ethiopia and the Sudan have a long heritage that dates back to the old Kingdom of Cush and far beyond that. But Americanized wants to tell us that Cush-ites are Arab mulattos (ignoring or missing the fact that Cush-ites are actually Hamitic while Arabs are like the Jews, Semitic).


Americanized,

Somalis have a variety of looks, from those with long straight hair and very fair skin to those who have dark complexion and kinky hair. You can learn the heritage of a people by focusing on various things and if you choose to study the Somali Etymology, you will find out that it has a common link to the Oromo and the Old Egyptian laguages. There are some words that have their origin in Arabic but they came to exist when Islam came to the continent of Africa. The spreading of knowledge also meant that Arabic language and knowledge spread around the world. Words like alcohol, algebra etc are from Arabic and even the numbers taht you use are called Arabic numerals.
