Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? People on here are really really really ignorant and it's a shame that they even respond to questions they don't understand.
just because you are from africa "people" doesn't mean you're black. And you yahoo answer people are misunderstanding her she is not saying being black is a bad thing she is FRUSTRATED that people are confusing her and her people for something they are not.
Just like people from India are considered Asian but dumb americans hear asian and they automatically think Chinese or japanese people.
Thats the problem with americans our ignorance to our arrogance gets us into trouble with the rest of the world because we don't care about other cultures and if someone tries to correct us or give us some knowledge on these things we blow them off and start calling them names.

Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Wow. I didn't know that being Black was an insult. Thank you for clarifying that. Next time you pass by a mirror, take a long look. My degree isn't in Geography, but, I am certain that Ethiopia is on the continent of Africa.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Whats the need for racial interrogation,and they do have beautiful curly hair at least the world isnt dull and plain white ,speak for yourself?!
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Who cares, I am glad you don't consider yourself to be BlacK!

Another thing in the bible Moses married a Black women from the land of Kush which is the ancient name for Ethiopia!
Peace Out Mutt!
For the person who said Egyptians are not Africans, the original Egyptians were!
Peace!
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? what are you talking about? My great grandmother came here from Ethiopia in 1947 and would be disgusted at what you are saying. You can't say that all Ethiopians are one way. My grandmother first of all Muslim, yes there are Ethiopians who are Jewish. Semites are a group of people, not a race or culture of people. It seems like you want to be more "caucasoid". Get over it. I am black and that is as far as it goes, my grandmother is Ethiopian and very proud of her culture. She will be 85 this November and tells everyone who asks her that she is from Ethiopia and yes she is African. Last time I looke Ethiopia is in Africa. Are you ashamed of something?
You made a comment saying that Ethiopian hair is not nappy or kinky, neither are ALL blacks. You can't say that you hate being associated one way when you are doing the same.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? PREACH IT.
lol .
she does not want to be white shes saying shes semite which is 100% true.And shes not trying to be white lol ethiopians were called caucasions not too far back so us white people picked them out so we cant say that never hapened.But anyway express hwo you fell if you think this way preach it!Im sure people agree i do.Thanks for the 2pts and also,for the 2nd white guy,she never said they were biracial now did she?she said over 60% had israelian blood do some research on the country and this whole question will make sense gl.AND for the young girl who posted MANY people dont consider them black only online they want to battle.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? i dont give a damn about ethiopeiens u guys live in a fu**ceked up country
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? I have to agree with Samper fi 83 and Nikki on this one, where is the insult, in being Black., and i would like to add that the beautiful black race is made up of people who have many shades of brown and hair that can be kinky, nappy, straight, soft or course. Just because your complexion is fair this does not necessarily mean your not black Africa is and always will be a black country this proven fact about causasoid skull is based on the ideas of the nineteenth century which had the tendency to base their theories on superticious beliefs. If there is any truth then i am yet to come across it. I am sorry to say it but if your were to even consider the word Semite it almost sounds like semi white. All the same you should no who and what you are but there is no shame in being black or white.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? you know what im sick of ? your dumbass...........2 points hater
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? you really need to calm down, and besides you people look black to me, and if somebody doesnt think you arent ethiopian, then at least you know what you are.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? TO TELL U THE TRUTH I DON'T GIVE A RATS AZZZZZZ ABOUT WAT RACE ETHIOPIANS ARE ....BYEBYE
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Well then can you please explain to me how is it that every single ethiopian person that I know in real life identifies themselves as black... the first time I heard they were not black is on this site??? you can call yourself what you want but the ones that I know personally in the real world would say that you are on some other **** lmao
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? why are only black people posting?you guys are showing her that shes RIGHT.and that only you guys want to claim them so i dont know why you guys are even posting cause your proving her point.you guys are not black people anyways and UH yeah every ethiopian gets mistaken for a indian they look like darker white people fyi.so idk what the hell you all are talking about.i think they want to claim you guys and even egyptians cause you guys have a very rich history.take it easy honey.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Ethiopians are Black people. Does having Semite blood change the Black blood that flows in your veins? No, it doesn't. My ancestors were Semites and I'm Nigerian. I never tell people of my Hebrew heritage. I have brown skin, different hair, and finer features. People tell me I don't look "African." I still consider myself Black.Why do you want to be white so badly? When you go to Israel they'll discriminate against you and call you Black. I read that when Ethiopians donate blood, no white Isarelis will use it. What does that tell you? You may feel white, but everyone else sees a Black person. Why are you trying so hard to convince the world? Will you do this for the rest of your life? It gets tiring.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? were going to get this realer than i dont know what right now my father is ethiopian he always told me that they were black africans theres mixed ethiopians and pure ethiopians skin so black that it almost look blue. trust me every ethiopian are not like you most ethiopians do have brown skin and kinky hair who do you think your fooling lady? no ones trying to call you *****. you have just as much black african in your vains if not more as i do. if you cant deal with that well life goes on.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? What a delusional individual. It's OBVIOUS you're a mixed people. Most people looking at you would know you're Black. If that bothers you, deal with it.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Every person is different and call themselves whatever they please. And actually I have heard and seen Ethiopians call themselves black; maybe you need to get over it
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Im not the other dina im an american who shares the same name as her.I agree with kelsey growing up nobody ever calledthem black but online they make a big deal out of it. She never said im white so stop jumping on the poor girl.Well i dont know about your race though i just disagree about them pouncing on you like this. they dont even know about what your talking about they add extra crap in there.she never said im white people.she doesnt need to face anything.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? This whole thread goes to show how dumb americans are black white and everything inbetween...
i hear u on some levels and sympathize, but on another level i think i'm hearing something else... let me go out on a limb and explain myself...
strictly on the facts, yes semitic is not *******, while both are african... africa is a mighty big place last time i took a look...
but u are in america where facts don't mean anything, and white rascist as*ho*es are around every corner, and they will call u n!!!!! etc etc etc...
but, for myself, a jew from brooklyn, i get a little frustrated when some folks want to see me and adolf hitler as the same people -- we're both white!
so yeah, u have pride in your culture, and get pissed when people want to act like u and them are the same just because your skin tones are similar in the american spectrum...
and i'll go way out on a limb here -- many black folks here -- i think -- belittle themselves and their own culture when they grab onto the upper egyptian kingdom, or ethiopian etc... as if there weren't significant accomplishments south of the sahara-- timbuktu, or the ghanian empire, or obviously the nubians and the upper egyptian empire (i dont have a degree in african history so that's about as much as i do know)...
BUT-- here is where i lose u... honestly i feel like i'm hearing some bourgeoisie bul!sh!t in disguise...
while i know i'm not anglo-saxon, i can't exactly blame a black person for seeing white and thinking white... cause the reality is in america, white folks have done heinous things to black people, and sadly that includes white jews (some)...
and what i'm ultimately trying to say is that while u may not be 'black' -- u live in america where there is a significant black population that has been and still is at war for their survival-- and here u will be seen as black by all but the most sophisticated... so are u just going to go to the trendy little club and pretend the world around u doesn't exist?
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? YEAH!!! Tell 'em like it is honey!!! I love it when people point out stuff like this. I don't feel so alone when pointing out similar things now, like how Egyptians are NOT Africans either... some people are really thick and just ... don't ... get it. Egypt and ETHIOPIA are their OWN COUNTRYS.
Mexico and Canada are on the north American continent, but the people are not Americans.
peace!
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? You GUYS ethiopians DO have caucasoid skulls,thats not alie shes not seperating herself from anything shes telling it how it is.Egyptians are not black there only african nikki your whle post is just dumb in my opinion helina is not wanting to be white shes saying shes SEMITE which is a race in my category they all have the same ancestors.Why are you guys so thick headed?If you guys dont care then just leave .jaws u confused ethiopia for somalia.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? Why is it only black americans posting?they do have cauasoid skulls she does not wanna be white cause she said they have caucasoid skulls thats just a plain fact.israelians are not white also.I agree with the other girl PREACH IT.
THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS:
They are African by location but they are not *******(thats a race accoring the US cenus).
Go to any source be it wikipedia, or a library and read what they say specifically on the Habesha of Eritrea and Ethiopia and you will see why people say they are not 'black'.
from Sabaens - ancient semetic arabs and Aksumites - ancient semitic people from the kingdom of Aksum.
People are arguing not so much on their skin colour but their facial features, skulls and hair styles. Last time I checked the majority if not all africans from west, south and central have coarse/kinky hair.
The Eritreans and Ethiopian have big, loose curly hair or the women have silky hair.
They are blatantly not white - lol ,but they are not *******.
Why would alot of white people I've met and on yahoo answers think they are not black in how they look.
Simply because they don't.
I could show you pictures that would soon make you understand there is a difference. This argument that blacks come in different shades, sizes and looks maybe somewhat true but it does not apply to certain horn of africans if you are trying to classify them as *******.
Edit: I'm not going to explain what ******* is because you could look that up yourself. There may be controversy of how to define race but people can be given these classifications, generally on how they look. You can just see it.
The African Americans are generally mixed with people from WEST AFRICAN orgin be it recently or far back. West Africans are defined as being ******* due to facial features, skull type, hair type which differentiates from a caucasian.
Anyway, the argument is not about mixed people, it's about indegenious africans. I even said you will have mixed raced people who are lighter and will not look like the stereotypical African. In the United States you may classify mixed as black/******* or whatever but in anthropoligical terms I don't know how they are defined. It depends on what they are mixed with.
Why would a white person care enough to label Eritreans and Ethiopians as other? What's so special about them? They were just honest in how they look to them.
The majority of Eritreans and Ethiopians look much closer to a person from say Yemen than they do to a Nigerian or Botswanan.
Why do you people care so much about ethiopian peoples race?were semite not black deal with it.? I lvie in israel and do_in_infinity or whatever you are WRONG!
We now have accepted ethiopians as our brothers and sisters so go ******* somewhere with that bullshit we do use there blood they are VERY RESPECTED here in israel dont believe everything you hear that happened long ago. im disgusted by you making those false allegations on my country ok i know you want them to be black like you but dont go making up ****.Long time ago we were suspicious but a dna has confirmed they are our people and we all welcome them and now ethiopians and israelians are uniting,when we were in that bloody fight with lebanon ethiopians living in israel helped us out alot they are good peoplee.
AND HELL NO THEY ARE NOT ***** PEOPLE,WHO THE HELL SAID THAT !YOU GUYS ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS YOU ARE SEMITES LIKE US.HELINA DONT EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THEM YOU KNOW EVERYBODY STOPS YOU AND SAYS ARE YOU INDIAN YOU GUYS ARE NEVER LOOKED UPON AS BLACK IN THE REAL WORLD.IM ENRAGED BY THESE STUPID ANSWERS YOU RECIEVED.YOU ARE NEVER EVER BLACK.
shalom.
