this website will not kill me, let’s me say This loud save clear. Africa is not a monolith, black peoples are not a monolith. Yes certain ethnic groups have their own distinctive features but that doesn’t mean they’re are not black then by extension I guess kelela ain’t black to even tho she’s Ethiopian

He looked like that cause of his Creole mama.
Meaning he looks like that because of non-black admixture just like many people in that country. I dont know why brehs here try to play it off
if you said that no one would have argue but you literally said this man looks like an arab :stopitslime:
There is definitely lots of Arab ancestry in some East African countries, especially Eritria and Etheopia

:martin:Ethiopian and Eritrian culture goes back WAAAAY further than Arabs.

If anything the first Arabs come from Africans just like everybody else in the world.

Also most Horners are CHRISTIANS(Coptic church) and speak their own languages (Tigrinya and Amharic) so this Arab influence you speak of is minimal.
I don’t think most Horners are Christian.

I will never understand why some of your try to hide and outright turn ray charles to the non-black admixture that is fairly obvious in east and northen african countries. Ofcourse some wont look like arabs but many still do.

But hey :yeshrug:

62% of Ethiopians are Christian ( Ethiopian orthodox is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world, many are pentay and Catholic as well).

over half of Eritreans are Christian as well.

islam accounts for around 30% in both countries.

every Habesha girl I dated grew up Christian

Ethiopians/Eritreans aren’t the only communities in the Horn of Africa.

Can you explain why please?

I'll even add on to what others said.

Basically.....there are a ton of ethnic groups in Nigeria but Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are the largest.

Hausa are mostly Muslim, historically very autocratic and didn't believe in education for women.

Igbo were very democratic and felt everyone should debate and give opinions to figure how to solve problems...more equality.

Yoruba are sorta traditional like Hausa but more open minded like Igbo.

The British felt that the Hausa's autocratic style and tendency to be less educated overall would make them easier to work with as leaders.....so the Hausa ended up with a ton of power during colonialism and even right when the Brits left. The northern part of Nigeria where the Hausa traditionally resided is quite a bit larger than the southwest (Yoruba) or southeast (Igbo).

However....the oil and wealth was in the southern parts, especially in Igboland. The Igbos wanted more influence and power since Nigeria's best monetary assets were near them. Plus they simply didn't like a top heavy government approach. Eventually they go to war....Biafran War, from 1967 to 1970. Igbo, with more money and support may have had a shot but the Hausa with some Yoruba help ended up winning.

I'm not sure Nigeria has even had an Igbo president since inception.

There's probably a lot more to the beef but that's what I know.
