` :::::::The belief that Somalis are not black people stems from acceptance of Cartlon Coon's WP:FRINGE theories about a 'white race'. It is in accordance with this that, some WP:FRINGE edits try to push the WP:OR viewpoint that British Somalis are not black people at all. And yet, in the report about conditions for young Somalis in Britain, the authors described British Somali young people as ‘black and muslim’. Hassan.M H, Samater. H,M., Van Liempt. I,, Oakes.

Writer Nadifa Mohamed asserts her black identity. Meanwhile, Fryer, P (1984) notes that early 20th-century Somali residents did self-identify as black. Fryer quotes extensively from the 1928 autobiography of Ibrahim Ismaa'il, a Somali seaman and poet, who notes that 'Shortly after our arrival, the black people in Cardiff were attacked by crowds of  white people… So we went to the Somali boarding house of Haadzi 'Aali and there we waited, ready for an attack, as we expected that a crowd of white people might break in at any moment'.

In the 'moving here' glossary, which, the WP:FRINGE edit erroneously cites, the definition of 'black' is listed thus: ``Black British refers broadly to all people of African or Caribbean descent living in Britain.`` Thus, the general consensus in the UK is that Somalis are black people, from Africa – albeit with a different heritage to West Africans or people from the Caribbean.   `
