tell me about Haile Selassie, the king of Rastafarianism.
He was Coptic Orthodox
>>892844
Ethiopian Orthodox is way too distinct in its own rite to be labeled as Coptic. Not to mention the Ethiopian church was granted autocephaly during his reign.

Proof that people will believe anything, even when the subject of that belief disputes that belief.

I heard he was hardcore blazer. Smoking weed every single day.
>>892835
He hated communists and had pet lions so he must be a cool guy.
>>892835
no african nation will ever again have a leader as based as him
>>892896
>>892898
My point was that the idiosyncrasies of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church are actually a strong influence on Rastafarianism, yet Coptic influences are completely absent. In fact cathedrals in the Ethiopian church are considered holy places to the Rastafarians, even though Rastafarians aren't keen to the concept of such a thing.

On the question of racial discrimination, the Addis Ababa Conference taught, to those who will learn, this further lesson: That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained; And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed; Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will; Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven; Until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil.
he was a very good king Ethiopia had who would've brought them into the modern world if communist revolts hadn't happened after his death, he was revered by his people for his heroic and pious character and eventually deified and the second coming, he however denied this claim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1_Rm1Zo2Q8

Some argue that Rastafarianism is just an excuse to smoke large volumes of marijuana.

The guy was a terrible dictator. His constitutions were merely tools he used to solidify his own grasp on power. The revolution that overthrow him was inevitable, yet probably entirely avoidable.

So I heard that communism ruined Ethiopia (no suprise) but why do I read crackdowns on their biggest ethnic group, the Oromos today? Better yet, why is Ethiopia such an ethnic clusterfuck?
He doesn't really look black, to say he is the king of some African nation. I don't just mean skin tone, he has a caucasoid / arabid facial structure.
So much for we wuz kingz I guess.
>>894858
That's just what people from East Africa look like. It just helps prove that categorical classifications of race are pretty much nonsense.

Not him, but if you look enough africans, you can see difference between eastern, central to western, and southern african.
Fucking Asshole in CIV V
>>894858
West Africans: Skull Look much like monkeys, most of them Dark
East Africans: can grow more head hair, and have big forehead, lighter skin color
Central Africans: Darkest in Africa, face look very muscular and less head hair
North Africans: Not Africans (Arabs and Barbarians)
South Africans: Brits who inbred fucking years in there and the blacks are much close to the centrals
>>894858
Ethiopians have around 50% of west asian DNA. Ethiopian civilization was founded when "semitic" farmers migrated across the red sea from Arabia into Ethiopia.
>>894950
>It just helps prove that categorical classifications of race are pretty much nonsense.
Even back in "the ray-cis days", ethiopians were classified as caucasoid...
I wish people who know nothing about race theory would keep their mouths shut. It's like a non-botanist telling that classifying plants is a bunch of nonsense (which it isn't, of course).
>>895036
Arabs and Barbarians? The Vandals, The Alans, and the Visigoths weren't exactly the majority populations of any of their piece of the Western Roman pie. I thought any trace of them genetically was wiped out during the Islamic conquests
>>895036
>South Africans: Brits who inbred fucking years in there and the blacks are much close to the centrals
Wrong. Khoisan are semi-eastern Africans, they've been pushed out by the central/western African-like people.
>>895055
>I thought any trace of them genetically was wiped out during the Islamic conquests
Anon think before you post. Islamic conquest couldn't possibly change genetic structure of any region they've conquered significantly because Arabian peninsula couldn't possibly host as many people as Egypt or so called granary of Rome - Northern Africa.
>>895068
Yeah but the Vandals, Visigoths, and Alans were large tribes and lived as a ruling class after the fall of the WRE right?
>>895068
The arab expansion did indeed change the gene pool of the middle east. To change the gene pool of a conquered people it is not necessary to genocide the people living there, you simply need to mix with them. The arabs mixed heavily with conquered people due to the fact that they kept large harems.
Also Khoi-sans are capoids. A distinct racial group from negroids.
>>895068

Haile Selassie sent three battalions from his personal guard to fight in the Korean War.

What kind of equipment did they have?
>>897159
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagnew_Battalion
>The Kagnews served with great distinction, principally alongside the 7th Infantry Division, and by all accounts (including the enemy's) acquitted themselves well in battle, suffering 121 dead and 536 wounded during the course of the conflict.[3]
Some interesting anecdotes
>Another distinction was that they never left their dead behind, and it was noticed that there never seemed to be dead bodies of Kagnew soldiers on the battlefield. This earned them the respect of their American colleagues, while fostering the belief among their opponents, who had often never even seen black people before, that they were superhuman.
>"...under full observation from enemy country, eight Ethiopians walked 800 yards across no-man's land and up the slope of T-Bone Hill right into the enemy trenches. When next we looked, the eight had become ten. The patrol was dragging back two Chinese prisoners, having snatched them from the embrace of the Communist battalion..."
>At the conclusion of the war the Ethiopians were the only contingent that had no prisoners to collect from the North Koreans since no Kagnew soldier ever surrendered.

Why have Ethiopians managed to be so based for the past 4,000 years?

>Berbers aren't a singular race, they were originally black
Lybians/Numidians were never black... Well, except for maybe one of the groups being part black.
>>897783
Not him but the Herodotus sometimes referred to the area of Ethio-Somalia as the land of the Berbers, and there is a fairly historical port-city in northern Somalia/Somaliland known as Berbera.

How did the Gauls get to Turkey? They walked there.
>>895094
they originated in eastern africa and only got pushed into the southern african desert relatively recently
>>898042
>>898085
Ibn Battuta referred to Somali as Berbers, he was from Morocco. Berbera was a Somali trading city, one of the most important in the horn. Somehow the term Berber got transferred to North Africans but how I'm not too sure.
Also the black component of North Africa is older than Carthage however the process of assimilation was already in motion at that time.
>>898276
San have been in southern Africa for tens of thousands of years, they moved from the coast and in lands into the desert relatively recently but that's a result of Khoi herders not Bantu
Stop with you fake history and read a book.
>>898839
Considering that the Khoi-San are quite possibly the oldest race on the planet, and that the earliest Homo sapiens fossils are found in East Africa, not to mention the fact that they have some small percentages of Eurasian ancestry after some of them left Africa then came back (not to mention picking up some Neanderthal DNA via Eurasians), it's pretty easy to assume they originated in East Africa, but moved around for an incredibly long time, becoming the first humans in Southern Africa.
>>898788
No shit it's older, there's even evidence of black Africans in the Sahara before it dried up. The Berbers we know of today are "recent", popping up at around 10,000 years ago. Surprisingly, the modern ones have genetic similarities with Scandinavians. I wonder what happened there?
>>900355
>Surprisingly, the modern ones have genetic similarities with Scandinavians. I wonder what happened there?
The Vandals?
>>897206
>>897191

Also, modern day Ethiopian soldiers are not to be fucked around with. After Eritrea they figured out how to do more with less and basically turned their military into one of the best fighting forces in the horn of Africa.
Even the Somalis are scared shitless by them. there's a reason al-shabab has been attacking Kenya instead of Ethiopia even though Ethiopians and Somalis have been enemies for centuries.

But for that to be true, Arabs as a society would had to have had harems. Which is not true.
WHY THE FUCK DONT YOU PEOPLE READ NEW DATA OR ATLEAST UNDERSTAND CURRENT DATA?
>>900344
Your data is old and misinterpreted.
There is a correlation to khoe linguistic expansion and a Sandawe/Ethio-Somali genetic migration that's related to the stone bowl/Savannah pastoralist Complex about 2k bp mixing with pre-existing people's who've been there an extremely long time.
>>900355
Modern Berbers retain a 20k year old foundational L haplogroup, there is genetic continuity.
The U haplogroup Tuareg share with Sami is ancient and is from a pre-neolithic split that occurred somewhere in the middle East or North Eastern Africa before the expansion into Europe. There was no direct contact.
It's not autosomal.
