We came to Europe as immigrants but along with us we carry our tradition which is sometimes implicated to racist-type cultures such as looking down or discriminating certain tribes by virtue of their births as people of hailing from a clan of numerical inferiority. The culture still is active in Europe despite tremendous freedom of choice and marriage. Her a boy is in love with a somali girl but unable to cross the clan border as then girl hails from a minority tribe called Midgaan. Sad that this is still happening in Europe. Luleå is just taken as an example but not actually where the story has happened.
He seeks hope in the shadow of his wish
But only drowns in the depths of his fears
Unable to break away with-die hard culture
Puting his heart on chains of sadness
He is a Somali-born Swedish in Luleå
Entangled in centuries-old tradition
who within the abundance of freedom
Can not be free from shackles of slavery
As doing so shall earn him a wrath from his parents
His life is shining in the middle
But dark at both ends, unfortunaltely
the shackles of ignorance and prejudice are not confined by borders -- they roam the nations of the earth at will -- peace and love to you Andi-Noor -- Jon Michael
How sad that in this day and age such divisions still cause so much pain. When will we all learn that we are all the same under the skin and in God's eyes.
One of the things that amazed me about racism, I saw in the Indian custom of Castes, the untouchables, the parias, blue, red, green, white turbans, a cultured society, a society being the crib of cultural enhancement and yet in 2009 different castes can't married each other.
And they can be in Sweden for all that matters.

Yankee Doodle Daddy is a historical Appalachian Family Saga. The story follows a mother's reckoning as she struggles to survive and keep her four daughters alive.
