This is in regard to the race issue of Ethiopians.
Helina G, I've read some of your questions and answers Including the one in reply to "Holly" . Helina, it sounds to me that you are racist. You are not white, you are Ethiopian. As an Ethiopian myself, I'm going to ask you to stop this hatred. I haven't met not one ethiopian that said they were white. Ethiopians are indeed black - Just look at our skin, we are dark even compared to italians. Doesn't matter if you have a straigh nose and long straight hair, the fact is, whites will still see you as black and/or non-white. FYI: I still haven't met an Ethiopian that said they weren't black. Gee, Helina, your not black ? are you arab ? no, are you white ? no, are you asian ? no! You are from the continent of africa and you have dark skin and thats that, you are black. I'm ethiopian and I'm black. Don't get me wrong, we are not ****** but we are black. Thats all I wanted to tell you Helina.

Well I don't know who Helina is but if she is ethiopian it doesn't mean you are always black. Like in america your not white, you could be any color an be american. Maybe she is mixed, I don't know. If she isn't that then she probably is black, I'm just assuming. You can have dark skin but it doesn't always mean the person is black, check out some indians and southeast asians.

In reality black and white as regards to race is a European political concoction. The word Ethiopia is a Greco term that means sun burnt faces, which distinguishes the phenotypical differences between the Cushite and Greeks. Geographically speaking the whole continent which is known as Africa stretching into the now middle east and India was called Ethiopia and originally Kush/Cush. Nimroud the son of Kush founded the ancient Mesopotamian Civilization. Even to this day you have Hindu Kush in India because in antiquity I&I were one. Tacitus, Diodorus Sicilus, Herodotus, Homer, Diogenes, Josephus, Marco Polo and more spoke of the great Ethiopians. Ones and ones must remember that history like land has been colonialized and therefore the degradation and vitiation of a continent and its peoples have been placed in order to maintain division for European Supremacy. Who created the demarcation between now North African and Sub-Saharan African? Why was this done? I and I are one people different tribes with a common origin. I&I are the archetype of humanity every feature can and is found on our continent. Also, ones must remember in ancient times black was seen as divine and associated with spiritual divinity. Krshna means the blue black one, Ausar the God of the perfect black, so this Johnny come lately negative connotations that it carries today must be over looked. HIS Majesty Haile Selassie the 1st said," When righteous Africans come together the world will come together it is our divine destiny". Remember His Majesty spoke very candidly about the white settlers regime in South Africa and don't forget how the whole of Europe viewed Ethiopia during the fascist invasion of 1936. It wasn't until the war struck their shores that they heeded His Majesty's Words in 1941. I&I at home and in the diaspora must come together or continue to live in the demonic dream of Europeans. I apologize for my prolixity... JAH Guide & Protect one and all bless ...(7)

What are you talking about. Who cares what this Helina girls says, its obvious she has issues, an really the reson why she is acting this way is bc in all reality she hates herself. She has self hatred so what does she do take it out on others to make herself feel better, but she realizes after its over that she is still that same person, so she moves to her next victim to get her high off of. I would reccomend some prozac to this girl, an couseling.

it fairly is often surprised me how tolerant maximum black all and sundry is in the direction of white persons, given the **** they might desire to go through every day. i'm a type of white men that gets indignant with the aid of racist feedback whoever they're against, whoever is making the feedback. i've got even been in a highway combat to guard one harmless black guy who replaced into being attacked. As you will discover, i'm proud to be anti-racists - they are in a position to call me "liberal" as though it rather is an insult, others can say i'm a hypocrite through fact they think of all and sundry is racist - i recognize what's in my head and coronary heart. provided that racism is such an ignorant, evil, oppressive, ****** up element, i'm able to in basic terms understand how calm and forgiving maximum black all and sundry is. they might desire to be greater suitable human beings than me. i don't recognize a thank you to not be indignant at racism. It angers me each time.

even if Ethiopians look different than other Africans, thats just an ethnic Ethiopian thing. im sure that people in America will see you like any other African-American, whether that comes for good or bad, people will probably just see you as black.

Well, your country is in Africa. I assume you are african and in the U.S we are black. So you are black. Although I don't see the issue. If a person wants you to be something you're not or don't want to be tell them to take a flying leap.

If she wants to pretend to be something she is only making herself to be a fool.
