I am also a fan of injera and lentils, and many other foods from this region.
In the 60s and 70s some of the coolest psychedelic funk music came from this area. I know a few Ethiopians because they work at the co-op where I get my food. I hear that if one identifies oneself with this region, it will alleviate White Guilt and give that person a sense of evangelical smugness normally reserved strictly for college students and missionaries. |

that music was Haile Selassie's last gift to the world and to the Ethiopian people especially. here is a fantastic album to explain what Savage Clone is talking about... so funky it will have you sayin damn that shit is funk-ay. can you believe that Ethiopians learned to play jazz, swing and funk originally from Swedish and Polish military bands that the Emperor imported in 66? http://www.amazon.com/Ethiopiques-Vo...3541296&sr=8-2  |

That's true, but even you should be able to admit that you post on these subjects often and in a strident or condescending way. To a bunch of people who mostly sympathize with you already. None of us owned a slave. |

I dont know how many lurkers are out there. I post on the internent to vent out what is in this mess called my mind, and there are hundreds of pairs of eyes out there who might not have ever heard any of this before, and so to them, I write and post these things. And of course, I can only represent who I am, these issue are what I talk about with everybody, be it in person or virtual, and I apologize if my over all theme has stepped on any toes, but alas, I can only be myself. |

I dig Ethiopian food, there's a restaurant on 6th street called Awash that's pretty good. I also have a good friend who's very proud of his Ethiopian heritage and is even named Sekou Toure.

i had the opportunity to study a semitic language and i must say i was drawn to amharic due to how exotic it seems, and the richness of the culture behind it. i eventually chose arabic instead however due to the all round usefulness of it.
