- In this thought-provoking video, we delve into Ethiopia's identity crisis and explore the complex racial divide that exists within the country. From the historical roots of Ethiopian origins to the intricate cultural connections shared among various ethnic groups, we aim to shed light on the diverse tapestry of Ethiopian society. We examine the significance of haplogroups and how they play a role in understanding the ethnic diversity that defines Ethiopia. Are Ethiopians considered part of the black narrative? We explore questions surrounding racial identity and the cultural pride that comes with being part of the Ethiopian community, as well as the connections to the broader African diaspora. Join us as we discuss the rich black heritage of Ethiopia, the cultural heritage of the Somali identity, and the implications of this racial divide on the African narrative. This video seeks to educate viewers on the importance of acknowledging and embracing the multifaceted aspects of black culture and the historical ethnicity that shapes our understanding of African cultural roots. Whether you're interested in black history or seeking to understand the complexities of racial identity in Ethiopia, this video provides valuable insights into the ongoing discussions surrounding ethnic diversity and cultural pride in Africa. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of Ethiopia's past and present. Please tune in and engage with us on this important topic!
Yes we are 💯Africans 🇪🇹and proud to be black ❤️🇪🇹💯
I am a full blooded Ethiopian. We are black. Most Ethiopias do not understand that the Victory of Adwa was not due to the bravery of our fathers ONLY but also because of God’s plan to protect the knowledge and spirituality of the people so that it survives for ALL black people of the world including us Ethiopians in order to sustain ALL of us eternally. We lost the chance when we were the first Christians and did not spread the Word to the rest of Africa. The result was colonization of Africa in the name of Christianity. No matter, if there are some Ethiopians who still think they are not black, I suggest that they go outside of Ethiopia and find out if they are black or not.
The first "christians" existed 1500 years BEFORE Yahusha Hamashiach ( who was renamed jesus christ and painted ⚪️) came to earth. They were followers of a greek god called serapis. Those who worshipped serpis were called christians.
I doubt the Mashiach would want his followers named after pagan worshippers. The ancient Israelites and those who followed the Mashiach never once called themselves christians. That is something that those european pagans came up with. Its true. Google it.
Adwa, nothing to do black in Africa or outside. We dont have to fool ourselves. Within Ethiopia, adwa cannot agreed upon what significant was it and who it was for!? But let's make eassy it was Ethiopia victory. There is no need to confussion. Blacknrss and whiteness too was europian concepts that helped to colonize much of the world they themselve weren't sure who is white in Europe until 19 century because they are the same origin too. There wasn't such a broader Africa or black just before 200 yrs. I hope pple look back asks what my gran gran father used known himself and neighbour land pple. There wasn't no will b as such colourism identity. Thanks.
Ethiopia’s belief in the One God didn’t begin with Moses but from the time of Enoch. If you know your scriptures, Jesus refers to the Book of Enoch multiple times. And the Book of Enoch is found in the complete Bible of the world - The Ethiopian Tehewado Christian Church Bible. And you should read what Enoch said

Say what??? You do realize that the Bible was written by the Israelites who come from shem right? Ethiopia come from Ham..this book isnt ethiopians (hametic), its the Israelites ( shemetic).

Eritreans are Ethiopian. It’s just the Arabs wanted to weaken Ethiopia and assisted Eritreans to be annexed from Ethiopia. Eritreans, Agew, Guragie,Tigrayns and Amharas are the same people no differences at all. They are Agazian means Giez speaking people.
The Eritrean didn't assist Italian to annex themselves
Nir did the ethiopians asisted italians to annex one of it's kingdom n important port
Italians annextedit by themselves and free will. They spread lies on both ppl saying one is doing bad onto the other ...the ppl still hate eachother guts ..unlike thy were under the same empire for centuries
I doubt Arabs would care to get involved in Ethiopia except maybe Egypt due to river nile issue they have

Nationality, ethnicity, and race are all different. A black or a white person can be an American and Hispanic all at the same time. Ethnicity and race is not the same. Europeans have different ethnicity. Africans have different ethnicity.
People are different if they have different blood type, that's it. If you marry people that's your own blood group, you just reduce future problems like miscarriage because the body thinks a different blood type is a foreign body and wants to reject the foetus.
You're off topic!@@Rina-gtnuke1
You never spoke about the autosomal DNA which actually determines race and ethnicity, and also genetic distance analysis and where they cluster. Sir, you and I both know there are countless studies on this issue which show the full picture, but yes, paternally, many Horn of Africans (even the North Africans) can be traced back to the Macrohaplogroup E marker that is 50,000 years old.
What's question ? Are the Italians white? For me they are all Africans close to us I am from West Africa
Sure are and come from the moors of Africa and Spain

So correct me if im wrong but didn't the people of Ancient Sumeria call themselves the BLACK HEADED ONES , and didnt
the Gods of Ancient Kemet call themselves LORDS OF THE PERFICT BLACK , and didnt MOORS call themselves Black , in other words MOOR is Latin for Black , and isnt MELININ Black in its Essence , which is a Black inky substance produced by the Pineal Gland , so once again , why is it that we have a problem with being called Black again because im Confused ................. smile

I love my African people without a doubt! We've been African since the get-go, and we will remain African until the end of time.

Actually Ethiopian or Eritreans are part Semitic ! Meaning they are related to middle eastern people !! They are NOT just African !!!
It is the other way around. It is middle Easterns who have East African/ Black African DNA. There are tribes in Ethiopia that are what we would consider pure African DNA and are not E1b1 at all, the same cannot be said in the Middle East.
Yes and No. Yes some of our tribes are semetic and some are kushitic, but no being semetic doesn't make us middle eastern. Actually it's been said human race originated in Ethiopia and spread out. Not the other way around
@@alisterdirector1475 E1B1 is also found in the middle East !
@guleet75 E1b1 is most prevalent in Africa the E1b1 is most abundant amongst Black Africans from East Black Africans with E1b1b to the West Africans with E1b1a. The oldest surviving branches of E1b1 is in East Africa amongst Black Africans. The ancient people of the Middle East were Black Africans and that is why you all have E1b1
@@guleet75 you all have this lie where you all believe you are older than what you are. Africans do not derive from Middle Easterns it is Middle Easterns who derive from Africans.

at 1:27 Muslims minorities who do not represent both countries since those two countries are Christian and the majority of the people there don't look like those people that you showed
Thanks for your comments
What do they look like
@@akeemcave9953 you know exactly how they look like
Got it. What is the main thought you are trying to convey
What do you mean the majority people don't look like the people he showed? The people he showed are typical Ethiopians. We come in different color even when born from the same mother and father, but the majority people look like the one he showed and the southern tribes, which are minority in number not in a sense that minorities are treated in the US, have different facial structure. It has nothing to do with being Christian or muslim. It is based on which tribe they are from
This question is not a good question. If one or two Ethiopian people said I am not black that doesn’t mean Ethiopian are not black
They are very correct, nobody is black nor white. We should open our eyes and stop using these colonial terminologies. People of African origin are unquestionably Africans.
Ethiopian, African and black.
That's a crazy question. Different tribes depending on how they practice breeding have different mutations from breeding and pass it around in the group. Most Americans been here in America. Genes don't just leave unless you breed in mutations you'll stay the same forever. Most black/ brown Americans are original Europeans part White mutation or the original Americans still in the original shade but we got all shades here because of the mutation that's in us. Selective inbreeding 2 albinos make white, blonde hair and colored eyes. Features comes from inbrt
Why are u said this?I am black.i don't wanna delusional.i know my self
Why are worried about them ? think about your own
Haplogroup E (both branches) arose in East Africa. It's parent, DEYap arose in East Africa and today is most prevalent in West Africa. E isn't Africa's only haplogroup (i.e. A and B are older and also in Africa). Even when Africans are in haplogroups other than E, Africans across ethnic groups often share the basal (oldest) branches of that haplogroup. For instance, Central West Africans are haplogroup R1b (R1b-V88) but their R1b is older than modern carriers of R1b in Western Asia and Western Europe and there are also East Africans who carry basal R1 the parent of R1b and R1a even when R1a thus far is only noted in Asia and Europe.
You can't talk about us as if you know us based on one person opinion. There are African Americans who claims to be Indian not black does that mean all African Americans believe they are not black?
To answer your question. We are black and proud of being Ethiopian! One of our beloved song is "Tikur Sew" meaning black man, which is a song dedicated to one of our beloved king King Minilik the II. So, sir don't give opinion about things you don't know. If you are curious ask.
I don't understand why you people in this comment section hate this video. He didn't say Ethiopians are not black, nor did he say Ethiopians are black. He stated facts. From my understanding, he said scientifically, we are all Africans, but people in the "E" haplogroup are more closely related to Africa compared to a white person living in Northern Europe.
He said a lot to basically say nothing; I know it was only like 2 minutes but it seemed forever somehow!
love Ethiopia from Russia 😊
Black is said to derive from old German meaning burnt.
Jay thanks for that insight. However, according to Egyptians of Hieroglyphics they referred to their country as KMT, pronounced Kemet. This term literally means, "Land of the Blacks"
@@TheFreedomandJusticeInstitute look at what is being rendered to us ,by the pale fox, that Ethiopia means land of burnt faces and in fact it’s not true.
Fiery Eye, Keen Of Vision, Appearing As Fire Etymology. From (1) the verb αιθω (aitho), to light up or kindle, and (2) the noun οψ (ops), eye.
@@TheFreedomandJusticeInstitute why would black ppl call the place they stay KMT, “land of the black ppl?’
Today in Africa they identify as clans not color.
We can’t rely on information that they put in the box.
The Egyptologist’s hasn’t asked one African tribe or multiple African tribes or nations to help bring cultural meaning to the words. Bc KMT could mean almost anything it ain’t nothing but 3 letters and defined through blue eyes/pale fox.
Not German ! Greek !!
I don't think Ethiopians majority would identify tukr sew or pariah. But would known as ethiopian, why is it needed as black as identifier? We all knew people in the horn are black they don't identify it because they shouldn't have been to, thats all.
The only time I identify as black is after I came to America before that I never never been identified as black but I identify as an Ethiopian I identify as my father's name in my family name and my history.. when you come to America, you get stripped of everything, and all you get called black is nothing else.. but that's not fair, I am Ethiopian American, and that's what I want to be called, not just black..
Fa Sho; this is why I call us Afro American Collectives and not Black!
Thanks
The habeshas of ethiopia have j1 haplogroup actually not e so ur wrong buddy

What kind video is this?
Who oh who identified highly m e l a n a t e d people globally as

It wasn't so called black people, its someone else's created identifier.
These two words is Ba’al and Amaleck.
Ba’al comes from Ba’al/Hadan.
Ba’al The English phonetic baal
pronunciation is "bahahl." with two
syllables.
Ba’al is lord Hadad is Noise. hence why this title was
given to the important god Baal
(previously Hadad) during antiquity.
Hadad is often called "Baal"' in ancient
texts, including several books of the
Hebrew Bible. However, since the Jews
practiced a different religion and did not
worship Baal/Hadad, Baal was
presented as a false god, or idol, whom
the Jews needed to reject in favor of
their one true Hebrew God.
Amalek In some rabbinical interpretations, Amalek
is etymologised as am lak, 'a people who
lick (blood)',
These two words Ba’al and Lak is said every time we say black describing a being.
This is all very interesting but how does it relate to the question of who is black? Or what is blackness?
And the meaning of those two words is?
@@TheFreedomandJusticeInstitute no one is Black. The problem with Attaching a color to a ppl instead of describing a persons complexion have repercussions. Black ,a crayon color, has now come to be understood to mean those of Subsaharan ancestry. However if you look at African Americans and millions of Africans in general aren’t very dark in complexion.
One time there existed various words to describe one’s skin tone and in the literature of that day ruddy/red #malcolm X, tawny #Louis Farrakhan, swarthy #MLK jr, never black and definitely not as a proper noun to describe a ppl.
Even in census of early America mulatto, negro were used as a persons race and this is when the began to black as bad and negative as compared to white and concepts as little white lies. They vilified their word and attached it to a ppl.
There is a power in words and since this word has been used on our ppl beginning in the 60’s E.g. “I’m Black and I’m Proud,” is when we began to hate one another e.g. gang culture within the community.

@@TheFreedomandJusticeInstitute good information 😊😊
My ass! I'm Ethiopian, I and everyone in my family + everyone that I have ever known believes that we black. We call ourselves "Tikur sew" which translates to "Black Man"
The majority of the American Negro are Israelites. The Ethiopians are from Ham's son, "Cush." Within the Ethiopians are Israelites of the diaspora. Because we are similar in appearance, it's easy for someone from the States and Ethiopia to produce similar metrics because we're of the same family but not of the people we're scattered into.

Im aware of that original name. Thanks for elevating here in this conversation. But if I used it most people would not know what I was talking about. We start with the familiar and we progress to the unfamiliar
there is no doubt that we are one of the most proud African people!
I think maybe you misunderstood the context of that person's meaning.
There are so many misconceptions about Ethiopia by some black Americans as well as some West Africans brothers,
I know that some people couldn't help it but still have moments of doubt!
if the ethiopians are African or not?
Perhaps just because of some complex inferior sentiment issues or something else,
I am not sure.
eventualy Some East African have tinted skin colours and curly hair than those who were born in the west of Africa,
is that any significance values?
of course not!
first of all, before the European came to invade Africa many centuries ago, the whole continent used to be called ETHIOPIA !
second, scientifically proven that the first human race origins birth place is Africa in the dankaliya valiy of ethiopia!
so, in my humble opinion, if you are white or black at the end of the day, we are all human beings!

These are these classifications that Europeans came up with.
@@TheFreedomandJusticeInstitute
Ok. Do you have any other suggestions or classifications
No one really self identifies. Race is based on a white man's categorical system. The only people who actually self identified were white Europeans, everyone else was given a category. Fun fact, the Negroid race was originally the Ethopiod race if that helps answer the question of Ethiopians' racial identity as categorized
Ethiopia= kush+ south arabia
Not recently please
Well ultimately he tells us Ethiopians are considered Black genetically and racially as we already knew. I usually do not see Ethiopians questioning their Blackness, but I do often see Somalians on the internet do so, but never in real life.
Its actually Somali's and not Somalians. No African the common logic is black. If your African you identify with our nation and not Some generic term that has not root in Africa. Black is a western concept that being forced up on the Africans. This forcing on the black identity is rape against that person nation culture language religious background. If you are a western person that identifies with black get your dna test and find your roots and stop forcing African with this lost identity of blackness because this robs them of there African heritage.
@Laascaanood614 All the Africans I know and I mean all of them identify as Black. It is literally a racial category in South Africa. You personally can identify as what you feel, but that does not change how others view you. I will agree that Black is a western term so is race, but Black Africans would do well to understand it because all of their enemies see them as the same no matter the tribe....the Arabs, the Whites, you name it.

Not trying to divide anyone. But am asking questions based on what some of my Ethiopian brothers said in response to my video posted last week which celebrated Aksum as a mighty black empire of the past.
Why are you accusing this man of division? There are no one the world who are more divisive than Africans. There are more than 3 thousand tribes, and over 370 in Nigeria alone. Black Americans are one lineage, and we are not used to the divisive behavior of Africans, as we are one. We are foundational to the US. We are the only native black group of the US. We are FBA. We have fought for and embraced every one who flee their countries to come here. We were naive enough to believe that because Africans and Caribbean are black, we were all the same. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Where are you getting this information?
That is from the Zondervan Bible Dictionary and it's the definition of Ham. The Bible has been taught to us wrong I'ma Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah what tribe are yu guys from?
Ethiopian Jews , Limba Tribe Jews and Igbo Jews all have e1b1a Haplogroup DNA. However the true location of Ethiopia is in West Africa according to the oldest African MAP. The locations where changed and renamed, even the true names of the 4 African rivers that are Biblical. South Africa is the true Garden Of Eden and yes some tribes are Hebrews but not every tribe are considered Hebrews, other tribes where selling off Hebrews to the Americas, they called them Heeboes slaves and every slave taken on cargo slave ships had Yah im their names, Gods Hebrew name is Yahuwah wich is a translation of the Igbo tribe God Chuckwu. The Bible says not toix with the other tribes outside of the 12 lost tribes. Not all Ethiopians, Nigerians, South Africans , etc are considered Hebrew Tribes, some has e1b1b DNA, some has R1B DNA, etc. but according to the Bible Ethiopia Jews and West African Jews are considered the same people regardless of looks. Meaning theirore closely related to each other than other African tribes that doesn't have e1b1a DNA so every thing shouldn't be distinguished by looks at all but similarities in anscestral identity and culture.
