Ethiopians standing with Black Supremacists

[balanbalis]

Imo Ethiopia has great rich history and we always lived together anyways my point was they don't mix with others and even look down on mixing with Somalis and vice versa.

'Ethiopians don't mix with Somalis' Ethiopia is a colonial construct that is comprised of an (At least) 3% overall Somali population, and a great maybe 30% chunk of their land belong to Somalis.

For better or for worse Somalis are also 'Ethiopians'.

I find it very bizarre that there are Ethiopians online who like to pretend to be black supremacist (especially their women) and call Somali Italian slaves and such. It is bizarre that they flex about never being colonized. I did the math of "colonization" which btw was 42 years. Just keep in mind even England was colonized by the Romans for centuries. Why do these Ethiopians think this is a flex and why don't their fake black supremacy card get revoked? Yet Somalis are the ones disliked more than them when they taunt us for being colonized. What about the rest of Africa?

Of course a nation will get colonized if they are bombed like both Somalia and Ethiopia were. Imo I think low key black supremacists hate/love Ethiopians for 1 being seen as the closest to Ancient Egyptians which black supremacist exalt and 2nd for their royalty Haile Selassie. Westerns love the whole resistance movements which is why they love Arafat and the M.E resistance movements.

Selassie represented that and the Europeans favoured him more than Garvey who imo was far more impressive. Garvey didn't come from royalty and was from an oppressed group but yet he rose. He also told Black Americans the truth about their status. And post-trump world is evidence he was right, they will always keep dealing with racism when things get bad. Yet Selassie was worshiped more than Garvey by his own people which is such a shame, but he was ahead of his time.

I do think Selassie's speech was wonderful where he predicted WW1/2. But I wonder how Ethiopians have gotten away with their obvious tribalism and superiority complex and yet Somalis get dragged. What is interesting is everywhere Somalis live with Ethiopians in the West, they have this superiority complex and think we are savage, but they are just weak minded. I have never seen Ethiopians in the West dominate like Somalis do. But how they created this image is insane to me.

Always found it strange why Ethiopian brag about “never been colonised”. It wasn’t of their own volition, when the Italians occupied Ethiopia. Haile Selassie fled to England were he sort protection from her majesty the Queen, when the world war came about the Italians were severely weakened, the British in turn pushed them out of Ethiopia and occupied the country and then literally put Haile Selassie back on the throne. But yet they make it out to be some sort of resistance that fought off the “colonisers”. To each their own I suppose.

It's hard to have peace on lands with famines etc. Perhaps the discovery of oil will change things.

Bob Marley? Rasta movement? The overall dislike to Somalis but embracing Ethiopia culture? Imo Ethiopia has great rich history and we always lived together anyways my point was they don't mix with others and even look down on mixing with Somalis and vice versa. But overtime Somalia's image got tarnished whereas Ethiopia is generally more liked. I mean nation state reputation not the people, as most people can't even tell the difference, we look the same to them like Jamacians and Barbados or something like that. Except major differences in language, religion
(obv they fellow other religions).

You don't noticed this? Is the Rasta movement or the love for Selassie not enough evidence? I was referring to Black supremacists in the West.

What u call black supremacy others may not - (Rasta's)
Here's Oxfords definition of Supremacy:

"the state or condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status."

Words have meaning so let's be careful with them.


We're also discussing mindsets from the early 1900's.
Only a generation or 2 removed from chattel slavery & still having to contend with white nationalism in it's rawest form & everything that manifest from that.

Ofcourse people were looking for a leader.
The coon rhetoric Salasie & by extension Ethiopians were on was obviously a non issue, if they were even aware of the type of sentiment they spewed at the time.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if most diasporans couldn't locate Africa on a world map.
Back then & today. U can't expect allegiance from a people who largely don't even know themselves.

Ethiopia gets praised because it destroyed old colonial myths used to justify the enslavement & inferiority of an entire continent.

Somali's AND OTHER AFRICANS
get sidelined due to modern beefs.

Back & forth arguing with one another
Name calling
Finger pointing
The list is long.

Only way that gets corrected is if we correct it.


Our ancestors were PRESSURE!!

We some dumb mf's who can't even link up to dead our issues.
Knuckle draggin low iQ niggas fr!

Concerned about the dumbest shit while the entire world steals & plots on us.

My take is this... Do somethin worthy of praise like fighting for a cause bigger than urself & people will reciprocate!!

Just like they did back in the day when liberation poetry & ideals were at the forefront of Somali politics!


When the Somali EXPELLED western aggression from their lands in the 90's.Which group of people do u think were cheering them on?
