yo , you know madd shyt about all of this.Let me expand a little on the questions aboutshyt. I can't really speak on Somalis they gotta answer for themselves.
Ethiopia didn't abolish slavery til 1924 and it took another decade for the law to be fully implemented and respected. So of course, the slaves in those days were typically the darker tribes and the tribes with more so called African features. So the perception of blackness meaning slave, lowly, servant, ugly, etc etc sorta translated into this day as
Enough is enough: Ask an East African anything!

@2Quik4UHoes Do you believe in the effectiveness of ethiopian magic.
How do you feel about Euronuts claiming you guys as dark skinned Caucasoids that are distant from other Africans...
@2Quik4UHoes My armenian homie likes to brag that armenia gave ethiopia christianity and writing. What do i say to this man.
lmao, cuz DC a ratchet ass city.
I still don't know what Woyane is. I always assume its what the Eritreans call the Ethiopian govt. If it means Amhara then yeah I'm down that's my tribe by majority but I got Oromo and Tigray in my recent ancestry.
Honestly I don't think that. To me and a select group of educated Ethiopians, the real "Ethiopia" is the Nile Valley and the first civilization in human history. Ethiopia today is just Abyssinia, it only took the name because under Menelik II the darker skinned tribes and nations came under his rule and the name Abyssinia only refers to the Habeshas which he felt was close minded and didn't acknowledge the diversity. But imo we aren't the only Ethiopians, brehs been separated through the ages by the formidable environment, differences of religion, politics(thanks to cacs), ethnic group but we all came from the same source and were here before all that bullshyt. East Africa has hardly had archeological work done on it, so it's a lot we still don't know.
I still don't know enough tho.
lol, breh I've heard some freaky stories about sorcery and black magic being practiced. I don't know if its effective, but I do know the people take it serious. Priests perform exorcisms there cuz its a prevalence for demonic possessions.
How do you feel about Euronuts claiming you guys as dark skinned Caucasoids that are distant from other Africans...
lol, I don't acknowledge them at all I just laugh because they couldn't be more wrong we don't give a fukk about cacs or being a part of their legacy we think we better than them. They know we're members of the original man family so they'll want to latch on. Some of us are still isolationist in thought, like I don't even want cacs in the country sometimes they make me nervous.
Yeah your friend is wrong. Christianity came from some Syrian Christian monks that were shipwrecked on the coast of what was Axumite territory(modern day Eritrea) and they grew up as servants of the Axumite court. One of those Syrians named Frumentius succeeded in converting the King's son to Christianity and when Ezana took the throne the Axumites converted the state religion from the worship of Ashtar to Christianity and Frumentius went to Alexandria to get Ethiopia a bishop. Frumentius became the bishop and changed his named to "Abba" Selama" or "Father of Peace". Before all this Judaism was in the Ethiopian highlands and even parts of Sudan for a thousand years so the tradition of Abrahamic faiths have a long legacy. Islam would also follow a similar path as Judaism as it was pilgrims seeking refuge and would become a rival entity within the state.

Woyane is TPLF
Oh true yeah that makes sense. I suppose that's the Tigray name cuz most people I know call it "Ihadig" but the community is real divided on the subject. I like the infrastructure and school building projects the TPLF have undertaken but no govt is perfect and neither are these guys. I think the emphasis on tribe can lead to a balkanization of the country and kill the nationalism that kept Ethiopia independent for generations. To me politics in that part of the world are real small minded, unity as a nation > politics amongst tribes.
There is no such thing as Habesha. Habesha is just a word that describes Ethiopian ethnic groups such as Amharas, Tigrays, Tigrinya, Gurage etc. Then you have the Oromos who IIRC are the slight majority of Ethiopia and they're not Habesha.
Wait, so how does that mean there's no such thing as Habeshas? Its a particular ethnic group created out of the Axumite Empire and Abyssinia(Which is derived from Habesha)
No what I mean is that in sense of modern usage there no such thing as a "monolithic" Habesha people, but just a term for Northern Ethiopians. Hebesha today is really just a blanket term.
"The peoples referred to as "Habesha" today include the Amhara, the Gurage, the Tigre and the Tigray-Tigrinya."
Habesha people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm just trying to inform people that using the term "Habesha" could be confusing because they are not one group of people of a collective group of people. Horners themselves have made it clear to tell me that. Just saying.
But there is, the highland culture is more similar than the lowland culture that's one of the main difference between Habeshas and say Somalis for instance and both sides would say that. We're the same in regards to origin and some shared customs but Habeshas are particular. I know what your sayin but those differences are inconsequential in the face of overwhelming similarities.
That, plus the food we eat, value we share, religions, general philosophies of life, there are differences I agree but the identity for the most part speaks to the more numerous shared customs and common origin.
So you can say the "Habesha's" were responsible for the Axumite Empire? IMO I think the Axumite Empire influenced Arabian culture and not the other way around.
