For fleeing Mussolini in 1935, Haile Salassie was a coward.

The entire world has been the playground of Western monopolies since 1900. The socialist world tried to build an alternative but failed except for China. Now Africans have to pick between Western exploitation or Chinese. Haile Selassie and every other Ethiopian and African or Asian leaders are just pieces on a board. TPLF and Abiy were both born from Western machinations. They have no life of their own. Local politics are meaningless. That is the only history Africans should be learning. Africans will have no history or development until there is a continent wide revolution

There are two kinds of people those who know what they are worth and demand accordingly. And those who internalized the caricature made for them and want to stick with that caricature as if it is the expression of their authenticity. The caricature made for them by whites mostly is so engrained anyone who tries to point to their real self becomes a threat. They hate the person who made them think on their feet and demand their place in the world as dignified man/woman become a hated person that deserves to be killed. Like the allegory of the cave in Plato’s republic The freed prisoner, who had been imprisoned in the cave his whole life, would turn away and run back to what he is accustomed to. It is the same with a slaved mind that resists anything that points better worth of himself /herself. This slaved mind resists degnity with vengeance. Here is one example of slave-minded Haile Selasse bashers complain about: Haile Selasse was asked by a Black Megazin whether he is a negro, and Haile Selasse answered with nay. He confirmed that he is a black, but not a negro. That was what was supposed to be the answer. But his objection not to be called a negro should have been extolled, but for Negros title with all its degrading connotation was much better than one of their own black African defending himself that he is not. Now in 2021 though if a white man calls a self-respecting black man a neger he might find a bullet between his eye brow.W.E.B. Du Bois had written a lot about this Black slave mentality. So there is also this mentality either it be in francophone on Anglophone countries those few privileged among them act as if they are more Brits than Brits or French. It is embarrassing. They die to impress others. So a garbage collector such as yabello attempt to dent 3000 years of Ethiopian history with his idiot ilks is laughable. Pointing the kind of mentality that manufactures this kind of garbage is enough in and of itself.
