I'm not black, I'm Ethiopian 🙆‍♀️🤔 

Great well said!

Very well constructed comment

Thank You.

Not even many will tell you their Ethnic Group their clan or sun group before a color. Ethiopian first and always

Don't mix things up. Being Ethiopian is not about a race but it is nationality so it has nothing to do with color. So basically you are trying to defend that idiot fucking guy who doesn't consider himself black. So the bottom line is Ethiopia is a home of black people whether you like it not. I came across some Ethiopians considering themselves as a white.

Who cares lol, they had to beg the White Man to help them.

Yeah, but its not doing any better than the countries that were colonized. Fighting and famine.

@@Zelazella1 Most of Lybians And Egyptians are not real indigenous black Africans; they are Arabs from Asia

@HayatIt's a fact most of Northern Africans(Moroccans, Lybians, Tunisians, Egyptians, Algerians) are not real indigenous black Africans; they are invaders, colonialists, settlers, etc. from Asia. Yes there are still a few real indigenous black Africans in Northern Africa, but they're marginalized and massacred by those evil Arab invaders.

Kenyans, especially the Kikuyus, are bootlicker who suffer from an inferiority complex with non-blacks but are ready to fight other blacks in their country. They are proud to have been colonized and brag about the white queen on England becoming queen while vacationing at the Treetops. And while Africans at the time were moving in the direction Kwame Nkrumah and Ọbafẹ́mi Awólọ́wọ̀, passive Kikuyu-led Kenyans were inviting Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, represented the Queen of Kenya (i.e. Elizabeth II) at the independence celebrations in 1963 of their own country 🤔

We don't have white in Africa? That's crazy! Plenty of whites in south Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola, Botswana.

Actually, there's something that you DO need to understand. You DO have white people. You just don't have them directly. You have them in the form of the puppets that the west installs to run your countries for their own benefit. You have them in the form of the World Bank and the UN and other international organizations that use their economic and military power to force your governments to bend to their will. One of these days, you should contemplate how the richest real estate on planet earth with the most natural resources beneath the feet of its peoples manages to also be home to the poorest human beings on the planet. You can focus on whatever you like, you have white people... corrupting your governments and exploiting your natural resources.

Not a good reason-when the fascists Italians invaded Ethiopia TWICE was it your ethnicity the reason behind these caucasian attempt to colonize Ethiopia or was it because your'e ALL Afrikan (black). Know thyself. Why did the Queen of Sheba call herself black (Songs of Solomon 1 vs 5)??? Historically, Ethiopia was a term that applied to ALL of Afrika and meant " Land Of the Burnt Face People". Modern Ethiopia is NOT the same as Ethiopia of the past (antiquity).There was a time when all dark-skinned people were called Ethiopians, for the Greeks referred to Africa as, "The Land Of The Burnt-Face People." You need to read these books written by your fellow Ethiopian historian Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan's: Black Man of the Nile, 1979, Africa: Mother of Western Civilization, 1976, and The African Origins of Major Western Religions, 1970., We The Black Jews (1996): Witness to the 'White Jewish Race' Myth, Volumes I & II (in One). Running and Running Away From Yourself-but you can't run away from yourself (Bob Marley, Running Away song). Changing one's name or nationality DOES NOT change one's IDENTITY.

100% understand you.

That's why the enemy from outside have ALWAYS been able to manipulate you and promote division among as we have recently seen in the conflicts in Ethiopia. What does Ethiopia mean??? When the whiteman is dealing with you he doesn't see you in terms of ethnicity; ALL of you are put in the same bag and seen as black people. Take your blackness from out of the closet.

It is good Ethiopians and Somalis are poor otherwise they are simply too racist for barely noticeable differences in skin cilour

@@ariikwek7795 she doesn't want to be referred to by her skin color because she seeks to escape the impediments imposed against people of color in America and that undermines the reason she came here. If there were advantage in it, she'd change her tune. Why? Because she's an opportunist. What she is also telling you is that she's either of an elite class or trying to be of an elite class because the working classes universally understand the value of unity and solidarity. "Blackness" in America is like a labor union that is open to all people of African descent to join. The issue is that Ethiopians like the ones we are debating relate more closely to the management class than to the labor class. African Americans resent them for the same reasons they resent non-unionized workers-- because they still benefit from the union's victories while undermining the union's efforts. These particular Ethiopians don't want to join our labor union because they've sided with management since jump and feel that this is where the opportunities for their success lie.

@@vmoney65 I see they're really opportunists. But it's good we've now known them; I have now known their standing too. Traitors within a group/race of people and an enemy to a group/race are equal; they all contribute to the degradation of that group/race.

@@ariikwek7795 As I've said elsewhere, having traveled to Addis Ababa many times, although it looks like you are perceiving a racial issue, you're most likely perceiving a class issue. People from the working classes including Ethiopians recognize the value of unity and solidarity. These Ethiopians come only to eat (economically). Their own country wasn't feeding them enough to eat as much as they wanted, so they came here to America because in their minds, they were entitled to much more than their country could feed them. So most will celebrate being Ethiopian and will attend all kinds of Ethiopian cultural events, but they'll never go back. They'll die and be buried here... at least until Ethiopia has more to offer them than America. I'm working to retire in Ethiopia, I talk to my Ethiopian friends about joining me all the time. So far? No takers. According to the recent videos I've seen, it looks like Dr. Abiy is building Wakanda in East Africa so maybe that will change.

@@itsallpointless once again ignorance is bliss from lack of knowledge smh.... When you look at the northern region of tigray and some parts of Eritrea, they had mixed with Italians and Arabs, though there's pure Nubian Africans in Eritrea, my girl's mother is one, pure black African Nubian. And some tribes in tigray were able to not mix and to keep the African roots solid, but when you go to the heart of Amhara region, Gondar, Wollo, gojam, these are pure Africans, as well as the south region of Ethiopia, which are pure Africans, and the west region of Ethiopia are Oromo which are pure Africans. The east part of Ethiopia, Afaar, which are Somali, and they originally come from ancient Egypt, which are Africans, Harar and Dire Dawa, which some did mix with Arabs, though many there are pure black Africans as well. Dire Dawa are also Oromo. Please educate yourself on these things. Ethiopia is 95% pure African. When you leave outside of Addis Ababa, you will see that Ethiopians are pure Africans.

finally, a woman with a brain. You are 100% correct.

Somalis, Ethiopians, and Eritreans have Semitic DNA. It is already scientifically proven.

@@VerbalWarrior162 I don't know about Somalian......they are habisha community.....Somalian they are kuse .....of course Eritrean and Ethiopia they are semantic

@@itsallpointless A brainless woman 😂

That is from colonialism term which is fake concept. Ethiopian will say their country or tribe like Tigrinya.

actually, it does not only is it a status it's a lower one, but America wasn't where the color concept started it was actually Europe.

@lobsterbale Legesse What does Ethiopia translate into English?

@@victorkelley87 That doesn't mean anything, 1st of all it is GREEK for burnt face meaning the original Cush people we call Nilotes who are not even brown but charcoal skinned. In the 1930's Abyssinia was name changed to Ethiopia.

@lobsterbale Legesse But Ethiopians call themselves Ethiopian, which means burnt face, which denotes their color. So it does mean something. They don't say they are Abysinians they say they are Ethiopians. Are you trying to say these people are wrong? So it does mean something.

Thank you sis

Somalis, Ethiopians, and Eritreans have Semitic DNA. It is already scientifically proven. An African who is closer to 100% African has wider nose bones and the bones near the mouth stick out more. They have a Eurasian skeletal form.

@@rafaelw8115 Lol, you are missing the point. You see, white people call themselves white. Did you call yourself black? They named you black, Nigro, African American etc and you did not dispute any of it. Instead, you repeated after them and called yourself black. That is a slave mentality!

I am ethiopia handsome light skin soft hair I am not black. I don't want anyone call me black. I respect black people

why are you lying? There are no pink or white Ethiopians 😂

Such childish comments. Go read a book dude.

In America, "black" is essentially a labor union that is free for all people of African descent to join. Black people resent Ethiopians who refuse to join the "black union" for the same reason that Unions resent non-union workers-- They benefit from the victories of the unions while undermining their efforts to achieve those victories. The Ethiopians who don't want to identify as black tend not to be from the working class, but rather come from the elite classes. As a result, they are more likely to side with management over labor. Working class people universally understand the value of solidarity and unity. The Ethiopians in this video don't get it because they choose not to.

Educate 🎉

So you are whit?😂

True we are not black we r unique nations

If Ur Not Black Who The fuck Are U ???

I mean you ain’t wrong. Ethiopians are closer related to Arabs and Europeans than they are west African

No they're not. Wtf ​@@Beepbeepbeepbe

We need more people like you. ❤ from Ethiopia

Black & White word is created by the colonizers themself

@Regulus no bro the world does not revolve around the USA. When one says black they are not referring to a small subset of people with African genetics located in the US. That is a very acutely inadequate way of thinking. When one says black one is referring to the outwardly perceived phenotype of a person. If you are in the US what you say may hold true. For instance black culture, black food or black music is in specific reference to the African American heritage. As for your statement on Ethiopians denying that they are African I am basically saying what you are. What this man being interviewed said is not representative of the whole of Ethiopia but a subset of ill informed people. As an Ethiopian myself I have met number of people who share this sentiment but again its not representative of the population in general.

@@reyanahmed9043 We are cushites for the most part. Some are Semites/Cushites mixed and Nilotes as well. All the three I mentioned don't fall under the wests image of the generic black person. Even though nilotes are dark as hell facial structure wise they are different from Bantus & West Africans.

@@keshi5541 that makes sense

Bro I’m Afro-Caribbean and an Ethiopian cab driver asked my family if we were Ethiopian 😂 I think Somalis are more comparable to people from DR in this regard, some of them would rather associate with Arabs. The term Ethiopia was referring to a much bigger landmass than Cush, actually the whole of Africa. When Greeks coined the term it meant “the burnt faced people”

Agree 100%, it is like saying a black american is not a gringo or when someone say yankee go home they are not including black americans, do not even understand why she calls her channel African Dominican and also trying to put down I Am Marwa and his sister on her channel and her other channel/ OMG AFRICA DIASPORA CHANNEL?

That's a horrible analogy as west Africans who are also very tribal don't have the problem saying black. Nigeria is far more diverse thans Ethiopia, but they would tell you they're black is you ask and never hide behind their tribe.

@@dahbajanman7044 Interesting point. You will be surprised though at the number of black skinned Africans who do not identify as Black. For example, I have heard South Sudanese nilotes look themselves differently from Bantus.

the thing is...mosyt africans are divided but usually we share common culture..ethiopians, somalians and north africans don't see themselves as negro and actually look down and have words for us..no other african country has racist words like slave for africans except those countries i mentioned

Yea I’m Caribbean and “Black” was seen as a slur for a long time because of the way the white colonizers used it, eventually it was seen as a term for Americans and now they embrace it. Before they would prefer to be called Africans even though they weren’t in Africa anymore.

So if I'm asked if I am black or south African or Nigeria, what should be my response? Obviously I'm black and I'm Nigerian or south African. The orientation given to most Ethiopians from their forefathers were simply never to identify themselves as being black, that's the reality.

@@sidex4 The Nigerian or South African use the term 'black' to differentiate himself form the white colonialists, why would an Ethiopian use that world?

But we ass Africa light skinned yellow Brown black we are black

true but the weird thing is ethiopians, somalians and north africans look down on sub saharan africans..proof is the names they have to describe a black sub saharan african....it's derogatory...or they would never marry one as it is seen as a step down...a black guy from ivory coast can easily go to kenya and blend in..but a black guy from ivory coast would stand out like a sore thumb in the countries i mentioned above...now with that being said i udnerstand why ehtiopians don't consider themselves black because most africans don't consider themselves black..but they see other africans as lowly and colonized...africa isn't as united as you think

​@@thdoom81 They would unlikely marry one because culturally we are too different. Most people usually want to marry those similar to their culture at least, generally. People that have similarities. What similaritiy is an Ivorian going to have with an Eritrean. In comparison with a Sudanese, Somali, Ethiopian or Egyptian??? Maybe worry about marrying and loving people in your own region. You never see horn Africans whining about West/Central African women not wanting to marry them. These type of statements are really embarassing.

12 Thus, in the garden, Adam should have the interpretation, the revelation that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that was there was not a tree like the one of Revelation 22:1-2 but the serpent. That is to say, some religious leaders. It is the tree of theology. Do you understand that? Every Muslim, Catholic, Protestant, evangelical or Branhamist leader is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Very well! That's it. 13 The Lord Jesus Christ is therefore the tree of Revelation 22:1-2 with the twelve fruits and whose leaves are the miraculous virtue to heal the nations. You see?

That's not the only difference ethiopia or habesha differs from other Africans tho , Phenotype , culture , many differences we don't look the same even , we have semetic levant roots

Well said

Not black we don't use that colonizers term

@@rafaelw8115 You lose an argument automatically when you call another person an imbecile. Even stating that European children take biology courses about race is ridiculous. Again, not everybody subscribes to the race-based model of the US. Also, where do you live in Europe and what race are you?

The only way it is used is just a descriptive trait. Americans treat race as if it is tied directly to ethnicity and one's very being.
