Severe anger issues in our community

Has anyone noticed how a lot Somalis have severe anger issues. They do not know how to regulate their emotions. They love to cuss people out for the bare minimum. They will see Somalis with a different opinion and world view and they will call them every name under the sun.

Even in a lot of Somali families. The constant habar and cussing each other. It's a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation and become a norm and honestly it's not a flex at all. I'm embarrassed. Thank god my own parents are not like this but I have other family members who are just so angry for no damn reason.

Why do so many of our people dismiss or deny a lot of the bad things that are going on in our community?

Every time a Somali brings up an important topic it get's a lot of pushback from other Somalis who try to either silence this person or act like this individual is crazy because apparently it does not happen in the "Somali community"

How can things change if this what happens? I recently hear so many horror stories coming out of Somalia but most diaspora Somalis even the ones back home don't care. Even if they are told about it they act like it's not their issue!
