Ethiopians are not black agreed?

Question

I was at school when our project was about groups acting something out. Our group decided to act out rocky the movie series. I wanted to be the Russian boxer. But they said I should be mr.t because I'm black. I said I was ethiopian and they were like yah your black. And later on today I did a joke by calling a kid by his last name English. After I said that kid said that English should call me b boy. For black boy. I said I was Ethiopian and they still think Ethiopians are black. they said I was black because I have brown skin, and they said skin color is the indicator of race. which is a total lie. Race is determined by skull shape and phisical features. Not skin color. a guy could be as dark as the color black and still be Caucasian. Think about it if a white guys skin got darkens in the sun or got burnt in some other way, they would still be white by genetics. and Ethiopians are mixed people. People think that because Ethiopia is in Africa if your from there your black. Hmmmmmm Ethiopian marries Arab person In Ethiopia and mixes equal full black , noooooooo. We mixed over many generations. We were the fist human kind. Lucy is proof. So we had centuries to mix with other races. We are mixed but the sun in Africa probably kept our skin brown. if you bleach an ethiopian white and they don't look full white I'll be suprised. If you a white person brown I'll be suprised if they don't look Ethiopian. Our look is like darker white people. We have Caucasian features. Caucasian is in our blood, and so are so many other races. we are not black or white. We are mixed. And look at the babies of Ethiopian interracial couples. they never look like the Ethiopian parent. and I thought black is the dominant gene. that's cause were not black. Who agrees were a distinct group of mixed people. I'm proud of being Ethiopian. that's one of the reasons I don't want to be called black because it's not what I am. Those accused me of being a black person that's ashamed of being black. I'm a proud Ethiopian. Who agrees that Ethiopians are not black

Answer 2

Ethiopia's population has grown dramatically in the last several decades, from 33.5 million in 1983 to 75.1 million in 2006.[66] The country's population is highly diverse. Most of its people speak a Semitic or Cushitic language. The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigray make up more than three-quarters of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within Ethiopia. Some of these have as few as 10,000 members. Ethiopians and Eritreans, especially Semitic-speaking ones, collectively refer to themselves as Habesha or Abesha, though others reject these names on the basis that they refer only to certain ethnicities.[67] The Arabic form of this term (Al-Habesh) is the etymological basis of "Abyssinia," the former name of Ethiopia in English and other European languages.[68] According to the Ethiopian national census of 1994, the Oromo are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia at 32.1%. The Amhara represent 30.2%, while the Tigray people are 6.2% of the population. Other ethnic groups are as follows: Somali 6%, Gurage 4.3%, Sidama 3.4%, Wolayta 2%, Afar 2%, Hadiya 2%, Gamo 1%.[69][70]

Answer 3

Reading these comments

I find it pathetic how some whites can be so hateful towards african people, then turn around and want to claim what Africans have, claim history, mimick culture, now claim our diverse ethnicities. It's sad... Very sad.... And shows your jealousy of african people. You insulted African in the past, and now today try your best to identify with us, and want to claim different african ethnicity... I'm here to inform you....



Ethiopians... Are east africans... All human life outside of africa originated from east african blood. Africans came first and the rest of the world came second. Africans have been scientifically proven to be the MOST genetically diverse people in the entire world. There is more diversity among african natives than anywhere else in the world and anyone else in the world. Every trait imaginable that can be found on a human originated from african blood. Africans do not all look alike because africans are diverse, we have been saying this for centuries when you tried to stereotype africans for how you think we should look, and now science backs it up.



We do not get any traits from an outside source, but all of you non africans get ALL of your traits from us. Now you can go an thumb this down because the truth makes you mad, but at least I have science to back me up vs. racist arrogance and insecurity to want to identify with others like you all with no pride. Had you any real pride, you wouldn't try to claim everyone under the sun. Some white guy said that asians are caucasian, native americans are caucasian, now you are claiming africans too? You are the least genetically diverse people in the world according to researchers, yet you can claim all of this diversity and every person under the sun. But Africans, the MOST genetically diverse people in the world and mothers of humanity are expected to all be clones of one another? Do you not see how backwards that is? Don't get confused and get it backwards. I'm going to tell you where the rest of you came form. Africans migrated out of africa and into the north into asia and Europe. They came into contact with a group of human like ape people? The neandethals, and mixed with them. Neanderthals were genetically weaker than africans, and didn't have too much diversity. When african mixed with them, their offspring obtained Africans traits.... When I say african traits... Africans re diverse, the neanderthals were not, so different eye colors, hair colors, facial features, both dominant and recessive traits got passed on to their offspring fromt he mixing with neanderthals. Their their offspring(you guys, non africans) just like the neanderthals, stays in your areas and only mixed with each other.... Creating genetic defects in your genepool from inbreeding, and allowed you to hold on to recessive traits. White people have the highest amount of neanderthal DNA, and they have all of africa's recessive genes showing up on them. From inbreeding. Asians have less neanderthal DNA than whites and have more dominant African genes, like the melanin in their skin, dark eyes to protect from the sun, thick hair, variety in nose shape, from thin like the east africans, to round like some other africans, full lips, thin lips. Asians have more genetic diversity than whites because Asians are closer to their african ancestors than whites who have the highest amount of Neanderthal DNA. Asians are closer because the mixed offspring of neanderthals and the east african migrants, continue to mix with more african migrants, keeping their genes nice and healthy. Whites developed mutations that is harming their race from inbreeding. Especially the recessive traits. They almost have no melanin, African have a variety of eye colors, but those colors are recessive. It shows up on whites more often because they have recessive genes from inbreeding. African have a variety of hair colors, but that is also recessive. It shows up on whites more often due to inbreeding. And due to inbreeding, is why whites, just like the neanderthals who did the same thing, are the least genetically diverse people in the world...



And yet, they want to claim everyone under the sun....



Your traits came from your african ancestors, not the other way around. Okay? And if someone with african traits, our DIVERSE features, comes back and mixes an african, what is he giving that african that the african does not already have? Other than neanderthal blood? Exactly. We are diverse. We get nothing from you, but you get EVERYTHING from us.



White people? are descendants of neanderthals and africans...

Asians are descedants of neanderthals and africans....



Without neanderthal blood you'd be fully african and with out african blood you'd be fully neanderthal, but you aren't. You're both. And without one or the other you wouldn't exist. All of africa belonged to native africans

Answer 4

Debatable



I would have to say I disagree with you though, because I do feel they are a mixed race people, but so are a lot of African Americans(from slave days) and they are still considered black. Black people just have to have I think about 20% or more African genes.









Thinker

What is the difference with a Dominican and Ethiopian denying their blackness? The only difference is Dominicans have native blood in there and Ethiopians have Arab blood in there. Dark skin has nothing to do with Africaness. I've seen a LOT of dark hispanics who have the blackness/color because of native ancestry, also Indian people who are VERY dark and don't look black/african



Amotee

no disrespect, but you just said when people see you they do not see a black person and that Ethiopians look black. You indeed look black. More black than Ethiopians do.

Answer 5

I say we are black. Look at ur skin! Its brown and therefor we are considered black. We're different from other Africans because we are Semetic NOT *******. Arabs and native Hebrew speakers are also Semetic. Yes, our skin may be lighter and our hair may be a little straighter but thats just because black people are really diverse. We're not mixed with arab we look this way because this is the way we're made. Ethiopians were here FIRST and WE invaded Yemen meaning, if anything, that arabs are mixed with Ethiopian. Also, there are many tribes in Ethiopia who are 100% ******* like Gambella, etc. And then there are "Habesha's" who are semetic

anyway, just be proud of ur skin color, we're not caucasian thats for suuure

Answer 6

I can partially agree with you. Ethiopians can vary their ancestry from the arabs, whites, or jews. But in southern ethiopia most of their ancestors come from sudan and kenya and places like that so it varies. I'm an ethiopian as well.

Answer 7

No i'd say that Ethiopians are Black. The only area of Africa which is inhabited by predominately non Blacks is North Africa.

Answer 8

to be Caucasian you must have neanderthals blood you must have a genetic receive if not your *** is black

Answer 9

You just sound like a Ethiopian that's ashamed of being black.You call yourself proud?More like self hate.



These Ethiopian boys are clearly Black

Answer 10

Why Ethiopians Are Not Black

Answer 11

ethiopians are indeed BLACK.



one their skin color is dark.

two, their hair color is nappy, like most blacks hair is...

three, whites have a high nose, while ethiopians have a much smaller and lower nose...



bleaching him white, will never make him white....

http://www.jewishjournal.com/images/articles/nw_ethiopian-students_12260.jpg



plus ethiopians are mixed with arabs, not white. arabs themselves dont have typical white features, as arabs have a longer or more hooked semetic nose then whites.... Plus ethiopians have more black in them, then arab. Arabs and whites are far better looking then blacks, so i can see why ethiopians would desperatly want to be non-black....





at least indians have straight hair.... and lighter skin, and they are hairy like southern europeans. if indians bleach skin, they will look euro... They are a step ahead, since their hair isnt nappy....

Answer 12

I'll leave it up to the Ethiopians to decide and the majority say they are black/African.

Answer 13

black is a color

Answer 14

I don't care either way, Leave blacks alone. Let them be away from your and everyones insults.

Answer 15

some of them look mixed, but the majority of their blood is of sub-saharan african. just like african americans are mixed, but the majority of their blood is of sub-saharan african.



ever heard of the bantu expansion?, is when the bantu people (black) expanded throughout the whole continent of africa, they went west, south and east africa. whether you like it or not, the majority of you have bantu in you.

Answer 16

i disagree, only because these days most people don't care what you are unless you look it. so when people look at you they are just going to say your african, your black & this is only because of how you look at first glance or what your skin colour is.

Answer 17

Disagree.

Answer 18

OK.

If they are not black, What are they?



And how do you explain the hair?

Answer 19

AGREED. Finally, someone with common sense.



Lol @ the thinker ape. You like grouping apes like Mursi and Hamer as Ethiopians? Real Ethiopians are like liya kebede and NOT like those Ethiopian claiming sudanese monkeys. They are only Ethiopian by nationality, not by ancestry. Do these women look more "black" than your ape women?

The simple fact of the matter is we aren't black, okay? WE ARE NOT BLACK. Stop trying to get us to deny our heritage, I'm so ******* tired of you afrocentric apes trying to claim anything with a dark skintone.



Most Ethiopians have straight hair unless it's the ape tribes in the south that aren't real Ethiopians. You can have those Ethiopians, we don't want them.
