CAMEROONPRIDE: why is that we don't see it .we see how white hate us , they create sites, make videos etc .but I don't see ethiopians doing such ..all I see here is I have this as friend, I have this as coworkers, they told me this and that..please dude ask ur ethiopian friends to come out of the closest if indeed they are racist as u claim


dude go read the history of ethiopia and why they choose to call themselves habesha which means mixed in arabic, find out what baria means. Do you honestly think they would let you marry their daughter?


i guess you will find out one day. peace

CAMEROONPRIDE: so now you live in the middle east or are from the middle east. Besides shut up farming started in Africa in Egypt and other places near lakes or rivers. Bantu were farming u people were still Hunter gatherers.


LOL, nope, farming started in middle east, and somalia is close to the middle east. Also we had larger empires like KINGDOM OF KUSH, AKSUM, AJURAN, PUNT, ABYSINIA THAN LATER SOMALIA/ETHIOPIA/ERITREA from all those empires emerged these 3 countries

My Own Kind
By Steven Ivory

Updated: August 13th, 2008

For several years, I’d passed the restaurant while driving through that side of town. It looked like an interesting spot; I said I’d stick my head in there one day.But when that day finally came, it reminded me of the scene in the movie “48 Hours,” where Eddie Murphy ventures into a bar that happens to be a white country & western joint. My arrival was not nearly as spectacular, but I did elicit my share of curious glances.
A bartender can set the mood for a patron, and the man pouring my drink was pleasant. However, our good-natured chat about the weather and the day’s headlines wasn’t enough to take the chill off this room. I casually looked around the place and couldn’t find one face that appeared to hold much love for a newcomer.


Taking another sip of my beer, I told myself that maybe it was just me. What did I expect, a welcoming committee? I reminded myself that many social establishments often react a little coolly to non-regulars. Maybe what I was feeling didn’t have a damned thing to do with anything but familiarity.
The restaurant was more than half full, but I had the tiny bar all to myself, so I was glad that two men and a woman in the mood for libations joined me. For all the acknowledgment made, though, I might as well have been invisible. When another man moseyed in and took a seat at the end of the bar, he somehow ended up in the trio’s jovial conversation. So they weren’t blind or anti-social, after all. I deduced that it had to be my cologne.


Or, just maybe, it really WAS me. And maybe I really DIDN’T come in here for just a drink and cordial camaraderie. Maybe, deep, deep down inside, I’d come in here to make some kind of point. I certainly was open to conceding as much to myself.
And so, with very little chance of my self-examination being interrupted, I sat there and gave it all serious, honest consideration – and confirmed that I truly did have honorable intentions. I figured I’d come in here, have a drink, dig the atmosphere and thus add it to my list of places to go. For reasons that evaded me, it wasn’t working out that way.


I couldn’t ignore the irony, of course – the very notion that hundreds of years later, there’d be the issue of us getting along. For many years, I’ve heard all the reasons. Inevitably mentioned are issues of culture and the idea that any problems among us are, ultimately, the residual affect of slavery in America. Did that sinister deed, besides everything else, somehow drive a wedge between brothers under God’s sun, a division that, after all these years, still remains?
And who says that we, in particular, must get along, anyway?
But we SHOULD … shouldn’t we?


Once again alone at the bar, I was pondering it all when the bartender spoke.
“My friend, may I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Why did you come here tonight?”
I explained that I’d never been here before and I thought it adventurous to try something new.
“Just a drink? Or did you also hope to meet some of our women?”


It all sounds so offensive now, but you had to be there. His words came sincerely – out of curiosity more than anything else and, I suppose, concern. I thought about his question.
Maybe, I replied, I ventured in here hoping, perhaps, to discover some measure of kinship. Or, as corny as it might sound, just a little bit of myself.


“But it’s Friday night, my friend,” he said.
“There are many other places in this city for you to be. Would you not want to be with … your own kind?”
I know – it all could have made for some compelling banter. However, after seeking conversation over the course of two beers, all I wanted to do now was leave. I tried to pay my tab, but the bartender simply smiled.


“It is on the house, my friend,” he said.
Translation: Just leave, my friend. Please.
As a Black man born and raised in America, I’ve dealt with prejudice, racism and mistrust in many configurations. Sometimes it is subtle and other times not so subtle, and you can encounter it anywhere, from anybody. Still, it never occurred to me that I’d face any of those things on a Friday night in an Ethiopian restaurant.
From the tiny bar I gathered up my pride and headed out in search of “my own kind” – and hoped that I’d know them when I saw them.

go read the history of slavery in ethiopia and somalia. Italy banned slavery in somalia and ethiopia, because they thought it was wrong. and that was in 1930's.

Kairoseki77:

If you had hatred for a certain "negroid" tribe, you would be more believable. But hating ALL Bantu people, and trying to make us believe that Somalis, Ethios, and Eritreans hate ALL Bantu people is just too unbelievable. The only people who think in terms of White/Black are other whites.

Africans see too much nuance in their relationship to harbor hate that wide.

Ask an ethiopian why they had black slaves, why the word baria means, ask somalis what does jareer and adoon means







Everyday racism in Ethiopia

(written in 1993)

The headquarters of the former ‘Organisation for African Unity’, OAU, Since re-christened AU for African Union, is situated in the far northeastern corner of Africa, in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa - of all places. But that is not the main reason why time and again African leaders and diplomats have been calling for a transfer of the the headquarters to some other place…
It may sound strange, but that reason is simply racism, with a capital R. Yes, racism in the middle of Africa. Or so at least among that nation of ethnic group which for the last 120 years and until 1991 virtually owned political power in the country: the Amharas. Regarding themselves as the true Ethiopians or brown ones, they also keep maintaining that "this is not Africa", that they are Semites or Kushites and not black Africans, or something better, so to speak.
Now if you keep that for yourself, to compensate for whatever complex you might otherwise be suffering from, it wouldn't really matter. In realy life, however, it does matter. The least inconvenience, so to speak is the one suffered in the capitalAddis Ababa by dark-skinned, thick-nosed and -lipped black Africans, on whom the average Ethiopian Amhara likes to look down upon. Now these gentlemen spend most of their time in offices or conferences. Their wives, however, are much worse off, since they have to go out almost daily into the streets and markets to do their shopping, where they are made to feel that they are different. Most of the time by gestures, but very often too in words and remarks which come straight from the vocabulary of racism. The most defamatory word which can be heard quite regularly describing black Africans is 'shankilla', which translated into common English simply means "SLAVE... and which just reminds us that until the fifties emperor Haile Selassie and his feudal companions used to have slaves at their courts. Slaves there are no more, yet the term is still being used. And if that isn't then as a brown Ethiopian friend of mine toldme, another hardly less derogatory word is commonly being used. He told me how he overheard one of those carefully chosen, always light-complexioned Ethiopian Airlines stewardesses speaking loudly about black African passengers on the plane as "Those things".
These being so even after 17 years of so-called "socialist internationalism" under Col. Mengistu it looks like the new regime under Meles Zenawi has some hard educating of its peoples to do. Especially so when even Amahara commoners cook ladies, Netsanet. One day she really asked me :
“Why do you always invite those blacks?”
Now, you must know that ‘those blacks’ were indeed two very good friends: one was ambassadore Segun Olusola, Nigeria’s ambassador to Ethiopia and the OAU, a good friend since the early sixties. And the other was Luis d’Almeida, the Angolan ambassador, and also a friend, since the days when we both worked in the Africa Service of Radio Deutsche Welle in Cologne, Germany.
And by the way. That Lady Netsanet was almost as black as the two ‘Execellencies’!!!

Kairoseki77:

Fellow NL'ers you have to ignore people like this. There is a 99% chance that Africa Down is a white man pretending to be African. (His username should be a hint already wink )

When white people found out that all human beings were descended from East Africa, they went crazy! They couldn't believe that they were descended from black people. So some racists among them decided that East Africans were no longer black, but were a special separate race.

Of course, this only exists in their minds, so to spread this nonsense they pretend to be Ethiopians, Eritreans, and Somalis. They go around calling other Africans "gorillas", "monkeys", etc etc. the idea is to convince the world that East Africans hate black people, so they must NOT be black.

Think about this, why in the world would Somalis and Ethios be racist against "black" people, even if they were really a special race? Why would they spend so much time trolling online about black gorillas? There is no reason for it.

The simple truth is that Somalis and Ethios absolutely consider themselves to be black people, and the idiots we see online are white racists.

kenyans are in their right place as history has intended. always dying for the somali cause. before you were our slaves, today you are the slave of the somali governemtn who has ordered you to die, because somali soldiers blood is too expensive and people will overthrow the government if a somali man dies, his clan will come and fight the government.
