Ethiopians are still Christians and like half speak Simitic half Cushtic.
Well that's all good, however, my point was that Ethiopians are mixed with Arab/caucasian DNA, the percentage will vary depending on what study you read... Also, I wouldn't dispute that they are mostly black!
When I said "Arab invasion" I wasn't speaking of any outright overnight conquest of Ethiopia, I was referring to the slow influx of Arabs over time who eventually dominated the language and culture in the East, this influx of Arabs increased after Prophet Muhammed sent his muslim followers to Abyssinia to seek refuge from pagan Arabs, up until that point Abyssinians/Ethiopians were christian!
There is no such thing as ''caucasian DNA''.
Ethiopians as a whole are 80% African + 19% Asian 1% European.
Yeah they're both mostly East Sudanic/Cushtic/
Wow, I had no idea that Ethiopia had such a huge link with the Maasai Tribe... Did you also know that the Tutsi's are Ethiopians that left the Ethiopian Highlands around 600 years ago and ended-up living in Rwanda with the Hutu's who came from Chad? Not only that, there was a travel route from East to West Africa which I forget the name of, but many Africans from war torn East fled across this route for many years and ended up in places like Nigeria.
Many Sudanese people fleeing fighting also fled to the West or Central Africa, I will look for the link and post it here!
Africans clearly moved around and migrated from one part of Africa to another, so for these clueless white people to come and tell us that our genetics are not mixed is total rubbish...
We need to start educating ourselves concerning our history and don't leave it to racist white bigots to educate us about our own continent, all he will do is speculate or tell us pure lies!
Yeah I have always got the vibe that the Tutsi were of East African admixture.
The Fulani of west Africa I believe kinda recently descend from North Africans/Nubians who migrated west they also have som Berber/North African admixture.

The bottom line is that the Republicans know they can't win without disfranchising MILLIONS of American citizens under the masquerade of blocking illegals. Republicans are a FASCIST party.
WISCONSIN We need all to be keeping an eye on Wisconsin, and the effort to recall right wing Gov. Scott Walker. If you believe in Dr. King's dream of economic justice and democracy, then your sympathies must be with the working people of Wisconsin. Remember that Dr. King gave his life in teh struggle of striking Memphis workers for economic justice and human dignity. Dr. Kign would be in Wisconsin fighting for working people if he were still with us. Let's keep King's dream alive. Victory to the workering people of Wisconsin. Justice for the 99%!

Extremely rare in any case. MOST people turned away a LIVING CITIZENS; the the Republican hierarchy KNOWS this--even if you right wing sheep don't/ But unlike the Repubican machinations in the 2000 election in Florida, this time those reactionaries are being WATCHED. Florida has already been warned to CEASE and DESIST its purge of voters. One more thing: the PEOPLE will not longer toleate this disfranchisement. Youth will not be as accepting as they once were. We Blacks are not just barely out of slavery as we were when we were disfrnachised after Reconstruction, and TWO GENERATIONS have grown since the 1960s who, despite persistent anti-Black racism and continued discrimination, now take for granted certain civic rights our parents and grandparent could hardly dream of. Do you REALLY believe we will take this disfranchisement schem sitting down? You you really believe there will be no push back? Moreover, the Latino peoples are also more active and defiant. And REpublicans in Florid seem especially intent on disfranchising Hispanic Americans under the phony pretext (which is precisely what it is) of blocking "illegal aliens." Do you really think the insurgent Latin citizenry will simply take this without a fight? If so, then YOU're the one who SLOW and stuck on stupid. If you believe even half of what you've posted, then you're a complacent individual with your mind in cold storage who (in Dr. King's words) is "sleeping through a revolution." You and the Right are in for a rude awakening.
The problems of purging dead voters is mainly a figment of the right wing imagination. In fact, it is whites who thrive on racism because they have benefitted materially and psychologically form the unjust system of white privilege. And if you READ Martin Luther King, Jr. you'd know that he ADVOCATED affirmative action for both the racially and economically disadvantaged. How is accumulated white privilege indicative of merit? But then meritocracy is a hoax anyway. As absurd as the divine right of kings.

The job description of a defence Lawyer is to get the charges against the accused dropped, why the hell would Johnny Cochran care if O.J Simpson was guilty or not?
Any RATIONAL person who was watching that trial would have been convinced of O.J.'s guilt, but Johnnie Cochran wasn't interested in the opinion of any rational observer.
There was never any cogent contradiction of the blood trail DNA evidence left at the murder scene, or the damning testimony of Simpson's limousine driver that night.
The star studded cast of defense lawyers merely focused on elaborating on the never proven smear campaign against detective Mark Furhman.
Many white people have gotten away with murdering blacks even with a large amount of obvious evidence against them, why all this focus on a twenty year old case of one black man getting away with murder!...(not that I condone what he did).
I think African Americans have as much of a right to with any part of black history just as much as any white man has to claim any white history, that is my philosophy!
YOUR specious spiel concerning whether or not African-Americans should take credit for the heritage of other Peoples may have been formed to sound pleasing, but it is still, none the less, INSIDIOUSLY ABSURD.
Well unfortunately you have taken already credit for many accomplishments and inventions that have nothing to do with your people. Many many American inventions were created by a lot of people who fall into those categories yet I don't see American whites distinguishing them apart from everyday white Americans... If you say otherwise, you are simply lying your a____ off and you know it!!!
As a counter example, I would simply offer to you the following.
I am an American and as an American I am proud to be an American.
I, also, am proud, in general, of all my fellow Americans.
What I DO NOT DO, however, is feel a part of, or dare take credit for, the accomplishments,
or, that is, heritage of
Amerindian-Americans,
Irish-Americans,
Anglo-Americans,
Swedish-Americans
German-Americans,
Chinese-Americans,
Japanese-Americans,
Korean-Americans,
Italian-Americans,
Greek-Americans,
West African-Americans,
North African-Americans,
East African-Americans,
South African-Americans,
etc.,
and so on,
and so forth.
I think that African Americans have as much of a right to identify with any part of black history as much as any white man has the right to claim any part of white history, that is my philosophy!

First i am not Ethiopian. Second there is nothing Caucasoid about the Horn of Africans. All your Afrocentic and Eurocentric terms are irrelevant and stupid. Modern day Ethiopia is a colonial scramble of Africa construct.
There is over 80 Different Etnic groups in Ethiopia. There are nilotics, Cushitics, Semetics, Onotics speaking groups who are all indigenous to the Area.
If you are talking about Abyssinians, the ancient and modern ones are the same. There was never an Arab Conquest in the Horn of Africa or a mass immigration. The prophets followers were only a handful and majority of Abysinians are still Christians.
My point stands Kenyans, Ugandans and Tanzanians are all from West Africa, they are not Indigenous to East Africa. we are not mixed and we are the original populations of the Horn.

I don't take orders very well, so you will have to excuse me for ignoring the above paragraph!
you are attempting yet another slight of hand, verbally that is.
I will thank you to keep your sub-intellectual attempts at analysis of analogy off the table when addressing me, as I am merely insulted by your assumption that I might actually deem them worthy of discussion.
As we would say in Britain... "absolute bo___", first of all I wasn't talking about Heritage or culture.
What we all do as Americans, WE Americans should ALL be proud and/or ashamed, for that is our lot.
What you did either by purpose or by ignorance was to assume we ALL have the same ((HERITAGE)).
WE SHOULD NOT, and I for one, have NEVER claimed the ((HERITAGE)) of any of those listed American groups, of which I was not a member. If you are not a member of one of those particular groups mentioned,
then that is a group for which you are not entitled to claim their ((HERITAGE)), other than as Americans,
but "American" is NOT their entire ((HERITAGE)).
That part of their ((HERITAGE)) which is not "American" is not yours.
I was talking about how whites like to brag about accomplishments that had nothing to do with their country folks, example, "us whites invented cars, we invented computers, we invented phones" and so on!
When bragging to black people about their little inventions whites never make a distinction between who's white country invented what... So my argument was that black people are entitled to do the same, meaning no matter where these blacks lived, the fact is they were black!
I have no particular interest in Egyptian culture or it's "Sun worship", just it's achievements which were largely from black or mulatto Egyptians!... It isn't as if Egypt is our biggest accomplishment, we had empires in West Africa that were much larger, richer and more powerful than Egypt, like the Songhai empire that was massive in the international Gold and ivory trade, and the Ghanian empire that was the second largest African empire who traded more or less the same, unfortunately they later got involved in trading humans/war captives to Europeans after whites decided that black labour was worth more than gold, whites later got greedy (as usual) and decided that they wanted the whole of Africa.
We are claiming Egypt because it is part of our history, nothing more nothing less!

And it seems I mentioned a number of things in another thread that Obama has done differently than Bush. But given your limited attention span and analytical skills, you probably didn't notice.
You probably also don't realize the many, more weighty, and certainly more intelligent critiques of Obama from progressives whom you stupidly think are all Obama cheerleaders.
Bush didn't pander to slackers? Hell, he was a slacker...who pandered to warmongers and corporate pirates--the real leaders of your Tea party "movement."

This from a right wing sompleton who thinks that those who reject right wing hysteria and paranoia are "America haters."
This from the ultimate intellectual that believe ALL tea party members are racist that hate OUR black President. It escapes you that these people love America and don't like the way it is being treated and represented around the world. Bashing Bush(not the President) is fine...WHY?...because he was a Republican that didn't pander to the slackers of America.
Name ONE thing Obama has done that is different from Bush's policies and governing.....?

Cree,
Thanks for sharing this with your audience! It’s super important that we understand the game that is being played. We can’t control what white people think or do (a total waste of time) but we need to control and manage what we think and say and do. I have seen a disturbing trend in ‘white victimization,’ false ‘black racism,’ and white people twisting the facts to suit this purpose. There is an epidemic of crying white females aka ‘white woman’s tears’ where one can’t go a day without seeing a white female victim on TV, the news, or in the movies. All designed to portray whites as the only ones deserving of empathy, sympathy, and assistance. I have also seen a corresponding rise in anti-blackness among black people as black people become more white identified and self-hating and black-hating and confused.
White identification is by its very nature ANTI-BLACK. ANTI-BLACKNESS by black people is by its very nature ANTI-SELF Hope you all will listen to Monday’s COWS program because we’re going to talk about anti-blackness including my own. Pam

LAME-STREAM PRESSTITUTES IN BED W UK-US NATO, GCC & AL-CIAEDA
Nixakliel - 05/30/2012 - 16:16
The Presstitute Lame-stream media got in bed w the [recently convicted in abstentia] Bush / Cheney / Rumsfeld / Bliar / NeoCON cabal. Then they [and even some supposedly 'progressive' alternative media outlets IE: DN! & Al{that}Jazzeera] got in bed w UK-US NATO, the GCC Gulf Monarchs & their AL-CIAeda affiliated Rebel-Rousing Racist Lynch Mob [aka: the NTC] to cheer on the devastion of Libya & the brutal slaughtering of Khadaffi. Now these same Lame-stream Presstitutes et-al are trying to do a Libya 2.0 Redux in Syria- even shuttling some of those same AL-CIAeda racist lynch mob rebel-rousers from Libya to Syria.
So if Bin-Laden's Al-Qaeda is the mortal enemy of the US [supposedly since even before 9-11], NATO & Israel why were/are they all so buddy-buddy when it came to doing in Khadaffi & now while trying to do in Assad???
For another take on the so-called 'Arab Spring' - particularly RE: Mubarak & Egypt see this Feb 18, 2011 article @ Tarpley.net - 'Mubarak Toppled by CIA Because He Opposed US Plans for War with Iran'...
Tarpley's theory was that Mubarak opposed US / NATO / GCC / Israel plans to do a War Dance on Iran. One can imagine if that's so he also might not have been on-board w the UK-US NATO assault on his western neighbor [Libya], which came right after his ouster. And he might also have opposed what's happening now in Syria- which is closely connected to the war plan vs Iran. Tarpley then says that the so-called 'Arab Spring' was a CIA orchestrated smoke-screen / 'colored' revolt [or was possibly effectively hi-jacked as such] to topple Mubarak, Khadaffi & Assad as obstacles to US / NATO machinations in the region.

No one is "over simplifying" anything, these people, like most republican voters and non-rich White people in America are racists that will vote against their own interests rather than vote for a Black or other minority candidate, and are just as often racist Whites who don't even know the American political sphere well enough to know that they are voting against their own interests every time they vote for republicans and use their votes to keep Black and minority voters out. The actually believe that the rich republicans that hold offices/political positions in Washington see them as the same. Wow. It is amazing, isn't it? It's basically the same psychological syndrome as 'abused child syndrome' where there will always be one that will side with the abuser, and assist the abuser in abusing the others. Yuck! Nauseating!
And West Virginia, the poorest region in America with the highest oxycodone, meth, crack, prescription drug using, welfare and food stamp receiving, run-down trailer living White folks in the whole country.
