How come we haven't heard anything about the non-ADOS Ethiopians helping the Republicans win VA?

What support did Ethiopia get?

Selassie went to UNITED NATIONS and asked for help and he got rejected ...

So receipts breh...

And name the list of whites, aside from the Orthodox Christian Russians giving us guns since the Euros froze us out, that helped us during the Italian campaign?
Russia and France both supplied them with weapons and planes during the first Italo-Ethiopian war. Nazi Germany supplied them with weapons and munitions during the second.

For one, Democrat is not synonymous with black, so 'blacks' don't automatically owe Democrats their vote.

Two, 'blacks' are divided into several different groups and all don't have the same agendas, so what may be beneficial for one group may not be beneficial for another, just like how all latinos don't necessarily vote the same way. Mexicans and Cubans likely will vote very differently because of what they feel will benefit their group even though they fall under the larger umbrella of 'latino'.

Three, foreign blacks don't necessarily have the same relationship with Democrats and Republicans that 'fba' blacks have. If Democrats are bombing or destabilizing their homeland, then they will have as much antagonism towards the Dems that fbas have towards Republicans. Even though Ethiopians technically fall under the larger synthetic umbrella of 'black', they identify with Ethiopian FIRST.

Ethiopians are essentially voting against an administration they feel is antagonistic to them and their homeland. The fact that they were able to turn an election to the Republicans may actually make the Democrats offer concessions next time to attempt to procure their vote, whereas Democrats need to have no such considerations for 'fbas' because they will automatically vote Democrat for nothing in return.

That’s incorrect. France cut off Ethiopia’s access to weapons when the Italians were angling to invade. The Russians stepped in out of religious solidarity. I’ll have to check on the Nazi Germany claim but I’ve never seen that ever. Also, what sense would it make for Hitler to supply the Ethiopians with weapons when his ally was actively struggling to subdue the whole country? Mind you, Selassie was very clearly on the side of Allies from the beginning so what correspondence would his court have with the Third Reich?

If you can show me a source I’ll be glad to read it.

Yeah like Haiti ….

Whether Dems or Republicans Haiti getting fukked over by the American government has been a tradition no matter what party is in office.

We can say hey what about Obama and Clinton and someone can say hey what about Bush Sr. and Reagan who both supported dictators who overthrew Haiti in the 80s. Or Eisenhower administration pressuring Haiti president to resign or the 19 year American occupation of Haiti which spanned democrat and republican administrations and on and on.

fukking over Haiti (and other 3rd world countries) is as American as apple pie no matter which party is in the white house.

Ethiopia right now is close to collapsing because of the Biden administration. The Dems are unfortunately in bed with a rebel movement called TPLF that enjoys financial and arms support while majority of the country’s population supports the government. Republicans while horrible for domestic issues are much better in foreign policy. This issue is way more complicated.
Negged. We just pulled out of Afghanistan, one of many boondoggles the republicans racist and imperialist foreign policy has been responsible for around the world for over 50 years.

Ethiopian Americans Made the Difference for the Republicans in Virginia

Ethiopian Americans in Virginia have helped deliver an unexpected win for the Republican Party in Virginia’s gubernatorial governor election.

Close to 100,000 Ethiopian-Americans live in Virginia, and many have for weeks been highlighting their anger with the Biden White House over its policy on the tragic and continuing conflict in Ethiopia.

Despite attempts by the American-Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee (AEPAC), Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe refused to put his support behind challenging President Biden’s approach, particularly on sanctions.

In contrast, Republican candidate and now Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin promised to expand the State’s trading relations with Ethiopia, if he was to take office.

AEPAC, which has been running an on the ground operation for the past 6 weeks, confirmed a large protest vote did take place, with thousands of Ethiopians switching from Democrat to Republican for the very first time.

In September, President Biden threatened the Ethiopian Government with wide-ranging sanctions if it didn’t engage in political discussions with the Tigray Peoples’ Liberation Front (TPLF). The move angered the majority of the American-Ethiopian diaspora, who view the TPLF as a terrorist organisation threatening the country’s hard-fought journey to democracy and economic liberalisation.

On election day, President Biden gave notice that Ethiopia would be removed from the trading benefits set out in the African Growth and Opportunities Act, a move that will see 200,000 Ethiopian jobs lost.

A recent poll conducted by People to People of 2,500 members of the Ethiopian American community found while 79% considered themselves Democrats, 61% of those intended to change their vote to the Republican Party due to White House’s policy on Ethiopia.

Chairman of AEPAC Mesfin Tegenu said:

Ethiopian-Americans have a proud history of supporting the Democratic Party. There is no doubt that community support helped President Biden secure victory in key swing states such as Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania in 2020.

However, Ethiopian-Americans feel desperately let down by the President and Democratic Members of Congress. They have shown sympathy towards an insurgency determined to undermine Ethiopia’s democratic and economic progress and have failed to constructively engage the Ethiopian Government. Instead, this Administration has opted for a misguided and contradictory approach with aggressive rhetoric and sanctions that will hurt ordinary Ethiopians.”

“The community in Virginia have clearly had enough and this frustration has helped deliver a real upset. We at AEPAC look forward to working constructively with Glenn Youngkin during his term in office to strengthen relations between Ethiopia and the U.S.”

First, all the term diaspora war is know nonsensical.



Secondly, the point of this thread is to point out the hypocrisy.



We don't see the same amount of vitriol that is directed at ADOS.

It’s not complicated. All that you’ve basically said is that Ethiopians voted for self interest in the end. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But the premise of this thread is that, often times, ADOS are often told to put self interest aside for the “greater good” for:

1. Some idyllic PoC coalition that isn’t real.

2. Some idyllic yet unrealistic black foreign pan Africanism coalition that isn’t real.

3. LGBTQI 1st issues under the guise of intersectionality.

4. Immigration issues, that kinda coincides with number 1. But specifically that of LatinX people.

Meanwhile, Ethiopians in NoVa didn’t give a damn and said, we have to vote in unison as an ethnic group. Shaming, browbeating, and gaslighting be damned. On the flip side, Joe Biden cant even mention the R word(reparations) and black folks are told to pipe down for calling him out about it. Something is wrong here.
ADOS don't know how to play the game and that's how Democrats been fukking them over since the Civil rights bill was signed. Y'all support people based on how nice they are to you.:snoop:
Too many MSNBC drones. John Lewis had no business in congress. But they needed a symbolic figure to use to shame nikkaz and if you called them out you were a c00n. Biden is gonna be blasting No Vaseline while he signs that $450,000 oops our bad illegal immigrants separated bill and it's gonna be no ones fault except the same people complaining in here because they put the goofy motherfukka in office.
Talk all that defund the police bullshyt while simultaneously voting for a former prosecutor and the Law and Order disciple brehs and brehettes.:mjlol:
shyts beyond embarrassing now.:camby:

Black people as a whole are not liberal.
That's some post Civil rights bullshyt.
Non ADOS are definitely not liberals but a lot of them fall in line with the rest of the group when they get here. That Ethiopian group was most likely tired of the fukkery and showed Dems they can eat a dikk. When has ADOS ever done this?? nikkaz only care about issues that Rachel Maddows tells them to care about. That dike bytch never speaks on reparations but tranny bathrooms or whatever.:francis:
