Yeah, they try their best to hide it, and the only reason for the defeat was because Haile Selassie made a deal with the British.
Since Ethiopia is the only African country not colonized, I contemplate making it capital of new world of black supremacy

Look up what barya means in Ethiopian. Haile Selassie himself said he was a Caucasian, and read up on what Marcus Garvey had to say about how Ethiopians treated him. Ethiopians do a lot to hide their anti-blackness, but amongst themselves, they are anti-black.

I can't if you serious or not but the idea is goofy
Being considered "Black" racially is more prevalent in the Western world. Those Ethiopian women you met were most likely raised in the US, right? So of course, they would consider themselves to be Black.Ethiopians don’t consider themselves black ?
All the habesha women I’ve met in NYC and Philly definitely claim their black
Are we using the words of c00ns to describe a whole nation
Within Africa itself, things are different. Outside of South Africa, "Black" as a racial term doesn't really exist on the African continent. From what I've seen and read, many Ethiopians view themselves as being "different" and "special" from other Africans (especially West and Central Africans).
This isn’t technically true. The Russians tried. In fact, the guns the Ethiopians used to repel the Italians came from the Russians.

Most Ethopians/Somalians/Eritreans literally dont consider themselves black.
Ethiopians viewed themselves as non Bantu in addition to the religious lore of being Semitic while the Bantu and negro were descendants of ham. I distinguish between Bantu and negro as at a point of history they were two different categories of black based on region with Bantu being more of a central, south, and eastern africa term due to the people of those regions being the ones who migrated from west Africa while many modern west Africans tend to have migrated from the north/sahara

Who cares what Haile Selassie thinks. He was a quasi-dictator that doesn't speak for every Ethiopian
That would be like someone who has no knowledge of America watch interviews of the idiotic shyt Trump and Biden say and thinking that is how everyone in America acts/thinks
its sort of semantic. usually colonization is a very very long and thorough process. italy didn’t militarily occupy ethiopia long enough for it to take place in the way it did throughout most of africa, which required generations of colonization.
it would be like saying germany colonized poland during World War II.
italy was also very very bad at colonization. i think even in the countries in africa they colonized for generations italian is basically not used or taught at all. definitely not like in the former british or french colonies. so during the time they had ethiopia they probably left even less of an impact than places like libya and somalia.
