Ethiopian-American Community Bank to open in DC

[Stick Up Kid]

Ethiopians got clout like that in DC?

they have their own District. in LA. too, its literally across the street where Biggie got killed on Fairfax.

so if they got businesses and stuff, do they hire AAs?

I have no interest in turning this into a HYON thread. I salute them for creating businesses and financial opportunities for their people. Whether they are following our lead or we need to follow theirs, the fact is more of this needs to happen among Aframs and the Diasporan community as a whole.

But. @Cadillac does pose a good question that, IMO, needs an answer.

 

[UpAndComing]

Looks like I should probably move there, if it really is Black Economic Excellence over there

 

[Concerning VLoLence]

I salute the moves being made by the Ethiopians.

There are dumb AAs that think this has anything to do with them beyond being located in their enclave.

 

[Phoenix Rising]

I say props and black americans should work to do business with them.

Can’t speak to DC. It’s a lot of Eritrean intermingling in Cali and the few businesses I came across definitely hire AA. Had nothing to do wit young or old generations. Matter fact Eritreans had more solidarity with AA.

They not fond of Ethiopians because Eritreans went through a long war and the Ethiopian government committed massacres against them. They say they wasn’t even allowed to learn Tigrinya and was forced to speak Amharic.

But @2Quik4UHoes would know more about DC.

aside from the women Ethiopians can be some haters. Y'all must not know.

[Rice'N Beckford]

Ethopians in DC good for charging you an arm n a leg for parking, making good pizza, and having young women that dont fukk with AAs rarely

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Its true. Ethiopian-Americans in the DMV work very well with AAs.

@2Quik4UHoes was in Sankofa yestersday with my son and wife and I saw a few AAs working there . Spent about 60 bucks on kids books and one dvd. really love that shop. Added my self to the mailing list

Ethiopians always broke bread with me

 

[Frangala]

The most visible (maybe populous in terms of numbers I may be wrong) foreign Black immigrant group in the DMV area so it's not surprising that they have their own bank since they have been there for decades.
