Haile Selassie getting cancelled?

[patrickbateman]

Check your sources sources please

The internet will make you look like a fool to your family friends and associates

I don't know about the statue in Ethiopia, but the statue in London is definitely HS. I train in this park and I've seen it on several occasions.

There are books stating Selassie falsley imprisoned/tortured many people in his country. Thats if you believe what you read

Why not

UNLESS YOU HAVE ETHIOPIAN ROOTS, IT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS TO TELL THEM HOW TO FEEL OR ACT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WENT ON IN THEIR COUNTRY. DOESN'T MATTER HOW EDUCATED YOU ARE ON THE SUBJECT. IT'S THEIR MOMENT.

IT'S THE SAME AS US GETTING MAD AT SOME WHITE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK SOME HARD TRUTH BUT WE JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT FROM A WHITE MAN.

Had no idea about the unrest in Ethiopia until my friends updated me on it a few moments ago.

firstly, this is not a conversation black americans have any place in.

however, after doing basic research (aka clicking the fukking tweet), it was not Haile, but his father Mekonnen.

The whole family history is pretty insane. IIRC, his older brother tried to lead an insurrection against him.

I just addressed this to some others offline...be careful tearing down statues, even the changers of their world for the good have enemies and will be next in line.
