Ok, just for the context. The video was at least 1 year old may be more. PM met with Ethiopian artists and film makers. He reminded them of their role in creating a progressive society. He then goes and compares how Jews handled injustice and suffering with that of African Americans. After suffering the Holocaust and instead of staying in victim-hood mentality forever, the Jews were forward looking and used holly wood and the world of art to create something new and concur the world but AAs mostly (not all) were backwards looking and stayed too much in the victim-hood mentality, which is also some oromos of today are doing. The PM wants ethopians not to be slaves of history and victim hood mentality always looking backwards but rather to go out, be creative and be forward looking. Only with this kind of forward looking mentality is it possible to create new things and to actually change the past. That is what the PM was saying. Nothing insulting or disrespecting to our AA brothers.
