WTF is going on in ETHIOPIA??

[The D-List Vet]

After a certain age or research this should be basic knowledge.

Again most people on here never did any basic research on people from Africa(including me) learned a lot from this thread.

No we don’t.

Every single day I see us put politics, religion, gender, sexuality, class and geography over our Blackness.

That’s before we even get into gang culture and street shyt.

We’re in no position to tell folks in Africa to follow our lead when it comes to identification and unity. Most of us don’t even have core values.

Which is why an ados/fba cultural push is well needed

to eager to be separated into teams. Just a messy spaghetti pulled away from a cultural core

My bad. But this was more directed at those who speak openly about Ethiopia or those who reached certain age whilst being a keen observer of the continent.

We do.

It's call African American

 

[K.O.N.Y]

We do.

It's call African American

African American as anyone born in the USA of African descent

that's good enough for you

 

[K.O.N.Y]

African american is one of the dumbest "ethnic" distinctions i can think of

The culture and history shouldn’t be abandoned I would never say that. It like how black folks from NY have a unique culture compared to the south or the west coast, but at the end of the day, they’re black before where they’re from

this is a bad take breh

ados from those regions still have a baseline southern afram root

How is it a bad take I didn’t say they should abandon their own countries unique history and culture.

I’m just saying they shouldn’t see each other as dehumanized enemy’s that they can commit atrocities against, when they are the same.

Tanzania under the Magafuli has been denying covid exists within the country and then he contracted a mysterious illness that has symptoms similar to covid and dies, it's logical to assume that he died of covid no matter how much the Tanzanian government wants to deny it.

So like I said your lying and passing misinformation. Now your making shyt up

It's a very interesting time we're living in.


A whole lot of chaos going on. It's sad what's happening to civilians everywhere especially the women and children. That's a violation of the rules of engagement. I don't understand what kind of man would be driven to act like this. Massacres. Of innocent people. But I've never been to war.. and right now these groups are riding for theirs. Going all out for what they believe in. Meanwhile, Addis continues to move on day by day.

lot of movement on many fronts right now



- the ongoing situation in Tigray
- beninsangul gumuz attacks
- oromo and amhara wollo attacks
- the OLA movement
- konso
- Afar and Issa
- Somali and Afar
- western Tigray/ amhara
- the GERD dam
- somali amisom
- moyale kenya border


I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot

all in the name of self determination and tribal lands.


I thought I had escaped some of these complex issues coming back home. Talk about...out of the frying pan into the fire, huh.


It's a very interesting time we're living in.

Africa was never given the chance to go through what Europe and China went through.

They never conquered each other like that, so having 1000+ different tribes on one continent with centuries of history between them is perpetual powder keg.

you are a black man first and foremost. Even if you think you’re not. I honestly think your mindset is pathetic

You have no mindset outside of your own experience on what black is,.You are not in any position to dictate what black is to me or any other black person for that matter. You bolded a sentence that has absolutely no meaning to you but it has to my family. Figure that,a black man tells me how I should feel about myself cause I don't fit his subjective definition of a concept. Follow your path blackman,I'd never impose my definition of culture on anyone,you should follow suit and improve on yours.

So you typed all that just to acknowledge you’re black. Which is my point

Be blessed black man

You see this?

I'm Krio, product off Slavery myself.

Sierra Leone is very fascinating and interesting Land, with a complicated history. And probably the most important land/territory lowkey when it comes to the Black English Speaking Atlantic World.

What makes it important or interesting? Did they send Caribbeans there? I'm ignorant.

I love our people but I think the foresight lacked a bit.
