This is an example of what he's talking about She was asked about the importance of having Ethiopian pride and immediately starting comparing herself to ppl who have “no means to connect where they're from” I wonder which ppl she's talking about

Ethiopia is 9,000 miles from Los Angeles. It’s strange to hear people speak of having pride in countries while maintaining that kind of distance from it. The distance seems to speak the ultimate truth.

Don't know but I'm very connected to where I'm from.

Some ppl want us to be perpetually lost or displaced Africans always searching for some imagined lost culture and homeland Meanwhile we are comfortable in our culture and already home

Word, AAAAAND they act as if our "ancestors" are ONLY Africans. Our ethnic group is an admixed ethnicity (even our African ancestry is a mixture of different ethnicities) plus our NON African ethnicities. I know folks don't be wanting to acknowledge it but fax are fax

@Al_B_Done Cali is vicious to ADOS on so many levels, I had to bounce.

@mcg_celeste This is sooooo weird lol.

These third-world immigrants regurgitate that white lie bc they are envious of Black Americans.

She did that shit so easily

I’d put my Black American lineage up against anyone, of any foreign descent living in our homeland. The fact of the matter is none of them have contributed to their people here like my people have benefited them. They look like delusional psychopaths even bringing us up.

@BreakingBrown Is she gonna connect to that civil war going on in her homeland right now? 👀

@ANTmiddleGa I guarantee you she also refers to herself as ”LA native”. They have no shame. Smdh

These people obsession with us is creepy and single white family esq. Africans and West Indians live and breathe and actively stalk us

They STALK FBA'S daily

A one sided beef. These people are fucking losers, because what is she yapping about?!

In fairness, a lot of white Americans have no real cultural connection to Europe. I would go so far as to say that whiteness in the US is most defined by it's erasure of specific European identity in place of an amorphous "American" one that lacks real cultural definition

BA connection is in 🇺🇸

@ZoomalianSlayer When will these people understand that we’re American. We’re FROM AMERICA, we haven’t been stripped from shit. We have our own history, culture, and roots here and can trace our lineage and history further than most Africans can. The ignorance is getting old

Damn all ya’ll do is cry

She must be talking about Ethiopians living in America because they left their homeland; they speak our ethnic language, American English; they wear our clothes, attend our schools, live in our houses; eat our food, etc.

Funny how she has to come to America to proud couldn’t stay home?

Starting to regret that "We are the World" song.

She is right ✅️

They’re jealous

Lordt...I remember seeing these people starving on TV in the 80s. Now they're here in America talking down on us..

They have actually nothing to be proud of so the first thought is to compare themselves to the peoples homeland they’re in and jealous of BAs

Out of Nowhere lmaooo

Those East African tethers are the worst, god I’m so happy most African’s countries are rotting shitholes, imagine how much worse they’d be if 99% of them lived in first world countries

Who gives a fuck and fuck these people always comparing themselves to blacks, please go back to where you come from

Wonder if these low iqs understand their dissing the whole Latin American and Caribbean. If they was proud they’d be there

Aye what was African culture in the 1500s What was culture in the 1500s The only people who have held on to their culture since the 1500s is England Russia and china

Where is this video from?

Instead of going after da Vinci it’s time black Americans handle the truth. I came to America to attend college in the late 70s. The unemployment with black American men was a surprise for me. Everyone was hanging out at the corner store without a care in the 🌎.

RENT FREE!

Where can I find the original video ? I’d like to watch it in it entirety

don’t even know how to begin to explain that this is very on brand for ethiopians (specifically amhara, which she probably is). lots of you are so stuck in diaspora wars that you take personally what others have been dealing with for a looong time.

It’s probably because she was made to feel as the “other” growing up by black Americans. African immigrants in the Britain went through this with Caribbean making them feel foreign.

This is a reach
