Depends on who. Some are very willing and see it as imperative and others would rather stick with their kind. Usually if they're open minded they are willing to work with the AA community. I know in particular the bookstore I go to on HU's campus hires both Habeshas and AAs. My uncle hired all kinds of people to his store, he owned LeDroit Park Market on 4th and T and Jesse Jackson's mother in law lived across the street and always came to chill with us. She used to lecture me and my cousin non-stop, sweet old lady tho.
Nah, I think the HIV/AIDS rate got to do with the drug use, huge number of ex-prisoners, and unsafe sex practices. Africans are deep in DC because our embassies are here so we want to be close to our representation.
What kind of raw meat?
U must be one of those pretty nikkas?lmfaoooooooo, fukk no thank god. This does remind me of a story tho...
Last year when I was in Ethiopia me, my brother, and my cousin where at this khat chewing spot(Khat is like the East African/Arabian version of coca leaves) so I'm usually a listener more than a talker in those situations cuz I like to use the time to pick up the language plus I was high as fukk so I was just tryna chill. This one cat was wondering why I was so quiet then started talkin to me, I thought nothin of it, so I told him I want to learn how to write in Amharic so he started showing me how and I figured out how to write my name and a sentence. When we were leaving, dude just randomly jotted down his number in case I wanted more lessons. I was like whatever and took the number, when we get back to my grandma's house my cousin tells me "You know he's gay right?" and I was like "What? How is he gay he never said any gay shyt." and she was like "Naw, Mike(my brother) told me dude is gay he tried to get a nikka like that one time and he got beat the fukk down." so I went and asked my brother and he was like
and I was like
Needless to say, I was totally on guard after that.
Oh, and another thing....nikkaz in Ethiopia don't know about personal space. nikkaz be all hugged up like chicks do here, it's a show a friendship to them but seeing them nikkaz walk down the street with their pinkies cuffed together had me like
Red meat. Usually from a bull. Basically uncooked steak. You just cut strips with a sharp knife, dip it in this spicy sauce, and eat it. The raw meat thats lightly cooked and seasoned is real good. I don't do it too much cuz you can get worms from that shyt.
I have no questions. I just came in here to salute you gawd. 
You on of the real ones on this site.
Keep doing ya thing.

Wow!!! Be glad you had nothing to drink on you. Dude would've tried to slip you a ruffie & you might've ended up like Ving Rhames on Pulp Fiction
Well Christian Ethiopians hate Arabs in general so the abuse doesn't surprise them. But at the same time they understand that those women will get way more money in Saudi than they will in Ethiopia. But they ain't a fan of that shyt, the govt has been crackin down on the borders partly because of the abuse migrants face by those dirtbag Arabians.
Read this in a medical journal ...
The number of African-born residents living in the United States (US) increased by more than 750 % between 1980 and 2009. HIV diagnosis rates in this population are six times higher than estimated incidence in the general US population. African-immigrants with HIV are also diagnosed at later stages of infection than US-born residents, but they paradoxically have lower mortality after diagnosis. There are higher rates of HIV among women, higher rates of heterosexual transmission, and lower rates of injection-drug-use-associated transmission among African-born residents in the US relative to the general US population. Despite this distinct epidemiologic profile, surveillance reports often group African-born residents with US-born Blacks. The high rates of HIV among African-born residents in the US combined with increasing immigration and incomplete surveillance data highlight the need for more accurate epidemiologic data along with appropriate HIV service programs.

Why the grills be looking jacked so often...no homo
do ya'll claim kobe?
Is it true the Ark of the Covenant is located in some church over there ?
lmfao I dunno about the teeth thing but you right, we must have a genetic disposition to have jacked grills. Some of em get lucky tho, that's why I be confused when yall hype the chicks up so much cuz some of em can look real busted.
lol, nah not really some will just say he look Ethiopian. Now Pac on the other hand is different, some of my uncles swear up and down he part Ethiopian and he had a tat written in Amharic.
According to legend we have the Ark, I can't say if it's true but a part of me believes it given how fortunate we've been through the centuries. It's an extremely deep belief which is at the foundation of Ethiopian culture, it's at St. Mary's of Zion in the ancient city of Axum you can't get in at all not even govt people would dare to do it. Some of my half AA cousins been there, all they told me is the closer they walked to the fence of the church they kept gettin this really weird, eerie feeling so they backed off. The people of the Horn are really mystical, the Muslims in Harar are Sufis, some of the Orthodox priests practice what you would call "sorcery", some of the tribes within Beta Israel(Ethiopian Jews) are real vicious with the black magic too, you get these other worldly feelings sometimes when you're near that stuff.

Damn, well I can't say I'm surprised. HIV is a problem all over Africa, but Ethiopia is gettin a lot better with safe sex practices.
