Let's just start going down this pre white colonial list,
one by fucking one.
Adal Sultanate.
Who were these Semitic Muslim Swahili mulatto fucks?
Take a look:
The Walashma dynasty of the Ifat and Adal sultanates possessed Somali genealogical traditions.[44]
During Adal's early period, when it was centred on the city of Zeila in the present-day northwestern Awdal region, the kingdom was primarily composed of Somalis, Afars, Hararis, and Arabs.[45][5][46][47][48][49] Ethiopian historian Bahru Zewde and others however state the Walasma led sultanate primarily included the Ethiopian Semitic speaking Argobba and Harari people, it later expanded to comprise Afar and Somali peoples.[50][51] Between the late 1400s to mid 1500s there was a large scale migration of Hadhrami people into Adal.[52]
Among the earliest mentions of the Somali by name has come through a victory poem written by Emperor Yeshaq I of Abyssinia against the king of Adal, as the Simur are said to have submitted and paid tribute. As Taddesse Tamrat writes: "Dr Enrico Cerulli has shown that Simur was an old Harari name for the Somali, who are still known by them as Tumur. Hence, it is most probable that the mention of the Somali and the Simur in relation to Yishaq refers to the king's military campaigns against Adal, where the Somali seem to have constituted a major section of the population."[53]
On his background:
According to Leo Africanus (1526) and George Sale (1760), the Adelites were of a tawny brown or olive complexion on the northern littoral, and grew swarthier towards the southern interior. They generally had long, lank hair. Most wore a cotton sarong but no headpiece or sandals, with many glass and amber trinkets around their necks, wrists, arms and ankles. The king and other aristocrats often donned instead a body-length garment topped with a headdress. All were Muslims.[29][55] In the southern hinterland, the Adelites lived beside pagan "Negroes", with whom they bartered various commodities.[56][57]
Ajuran Sultanate
Their most complex structure was the portable nomadic tent.
The Ajurans developed a very rich culture with various forms of Somali culture such as architecture, astronomy, festivals, music and art evolving and flourishing during this period. The majority of the inhabitants were ethnic Somali, but there were also Yemeni, Persian, and Turkish minorities. The vast majority of the population adhered to Sunni Islam with a Shia minority (mostly those of Persian descent)[citation needed]. Somali was the most commonly used language of government and social life while Arabic was most prominently used for religious studies.
The Somali martial art Istunka, also known as Dabshid, was born during their reign. An annual tournament is held every year for it in Afgooye.[35] Carving, known in Somali as qoris, was practiced in the coastal cities of the state. Many wealthy urbanites in the medieval period regularly employed the finest wood and marble carvers in Somalia to work on their interiors and houses. The carvings on the mihrabs and pillars of ancient Somali mosques are some of the oldest on the continent, with Masjid Fakhr al-Din being the 7th oldest mosque in Africa.[36] Artistic carving was considered the craft of men similar to how the Somali textile industry was mainly a women's business. Amongst the nomads, carving, especially woodwork, was widespread and could be found on the most basic objects such as spoons, combs and bowls, but it also included more complex structures such as the portable nomadic tent, the aqal.[37]
During its tenure, the Empire left an extensive architectural legacy, being one of the major medieval Somali powers engaged in castle and fortress building. Many of the ruined fortifications dotting the landscapes of southern Somalia today are attributed to the Ajuran Empire's engineers.[7] These structures include a number of pillar tomb fields, necropolises, castles, fortresses and ruined cities built in that era.[1] In the Marca area, various pillar tombs exist, which local tradition holds were built in the 16th century, when the Ajuran Empire's naa'ibs governed the district.[38]
Sultanate of Bale
The Sultanate of Bale was a Sidama Muslim sultanate founded in the Bale Mountains of the southern Ethiopian Highlands and Horn of Africa. It corresponds roughly to the modern Bale Zone of the Oromia Region in Ethiopia.
The Bale Sultanate was founded in the 13th century by Sheikh Hussein who came from Merca one of the commercial and Islamic centers in the Indian Ocean[2] He is credited for introducing Islam to the Sidamo people living in the area at the time.[3] Despite the Sultanate being founded by a Somali saint and ruled by his descendants, the kingdom was mostly inhabited by the Sidama people. Ajuran merchants began settling in the region, thus linking the two kingdoms economically as Bale had trade with other Ethiopian kingdoms and would serve as the gateway for the Ajuran Sultanate
WHY NOT JUST CALL THESE GOOD MUSLIM MIGRANTS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST MIDDLEMAN MINORITIES, JUST HELPFUL VERY EARLY BOURGEOIS, IN THE DARK AGES, WHO CAME TO AFRICA IN ITS HAY DAY, BEFORE WHITE COLONIALISM, TO BE BENEFICIAL AND TO MIX WHOLESOMELY AND PEACEFULLY, DAVID REICH STYLE, WITH ITS INDIGENOUS ALREADY VERY MIXED MOSTLY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS INHABITANTS, AN ARGUMENT THOMAS SOWELL MAKES SO WELL!
WIKIPEDIA WANTS TO MAKE IT ALL SEEM LIKE PART OF ONE LONG MARCH OF PROGRESS TOWARD AMERICA.
SOWELL CALLS CAPITALISM'S CAPITALISTS MIDDLEMAN MINORITIES PERSECUTED BY THEIR HOST POPULATIONS
'Middleman minorities are middlemen not only in a purely economic sense but also in social and political senses. Where a ruling class or race collects money from a large class of poorer people whom they do not wish to deal with directly, middleman minorities may take on the role of collecting rents or feudal dues for landlords, or taxes for government-- all roles virtually guaranteeing unpopularity.' TS
One point to note here, in passing, is that a middleman minority is substituted in these instances for an actual or potential indigenous middleman group which is either nonexistent, competitively or mandatorily unnaturally ousted, or partially or wholly supplanted from a role or position within the middle ranks of the host imperial or host colonial society by the ruling class or race in favor of an alien minority having allegiances of its own either within its own ranks or to a third foreign ruling class or race.
If the ruling class or race is also itself foreign, this further complicates a situation where the ruling class or race declines to use its own foreign ethnic or national group or groups to accomplish middleman minority tasks, while bringing in a third minority for the purpose.
This will tend to create animosities that are triangulated, more or less complicated, and seldom merely bilateral.
