My experience at an Ethiopian restaurant

[Grano-Grano]

Somalis are mad xenophobic even to other East Africans. Don't take it personal. Learn a lesson. Never trust outsiders. I think AAs lost that lessons over the years fam.

I've told this story before but my girlfriend looks Ethiopian even though she is Black American. She has had a few incidents where folks come up to her and talk to her thinking she is Ethiopian before finding out she just a "plain ole black american girl"

Anyways, she used to work at a job where there were a lot of Ethiopians and this one dude who was Ethiopian would come up to her and talk bad about the more "normal black" folks working there. Said shyt like "They look like apes and don't have straight beautiful noses like us" and how "They are nothing but slaves" etc etc. My girlfriend is quiet and shy and just wanted to be left alone and would make an excuse to get away from him.

One day I picked her up from work, and the dude was out front and she pointed him out to me. He looked at me and her like she broke his heart and his world came tumbling down seeing her black american boyfriend. He didn't talk to her much after that.

I just wanna know if you gave the c00n that work tho?

My Ethiopian friends have said this happens to them at Ethiopian stores and even in Ethiopia. It happens here to AA's in AA stores too. We all know what white supremacy is, let's not pretend it hasn't spread everywhere.

Post it on the yelp.

The kind of White people that like ethnic food will stop going if they read some shyt like that.

But lowkey I heard the whole city of Berkeley be off some shyt too

Yeah that’s how them elite liberals be, Love the race but hate the people.

Dekalb County is home to a refugee cities so you have a large population of Ethios, Somalis, and Sudanese.

Eat Africans are doing well in nightlife and transportation out here.

I wouldn’t say they’re are hostile but more so stand offish and suspicious of AAs. It’s gotten better over the past decades than whenever I first moved to Clarkston (refugee city).

The young kids are basically nikkas.

Which Sudanese group do you encounter? Here in orange county, i rarely come into contact with my people. I have a cousin in Michigan and another Kiwi friend in Kansas City Missouri, and the Sudanese i met there were all from the South, it seems like they Southerners have a established population in many areas in the states, just like in Australia to a degree. Whereas for us, we are mostly in the Middle East. Then you have some in the diaspora especially those that look African Americans just blend in your community, whereas few blend into other communities mostly MENA as i noticed especially in my family.

Somewhat off topic but your post reminded me of this video I seen on YouTube of a Ethiopian girl with her AA boyfriend who many Ethiopians thought was one of them. you even had those who came up with crazy ass theories of ole boy being Ethiopian despite him CLEARLY saying he is AA like this comment

"Barbeque is corruption of Berbere Que. Many falsely called "African Americans" (This title only exist since 1989) are decendants of a 1,700 year civil war with the Solomonic Christians when foreigners try to force conversion by Byzantium and wage war with the Kingdom of Semien/Beit Israel. From Atsbeha Ezana - Susenyos II 1,700 years. Susenyos sell many of the Beit Israel Semien to slavery and take the lands as many other emperors did. Many migrated to west Africa, South Africa, north and east. So what i am saying is that west African native tribes sold these newly arrived refugee immogrants to the Dutch, Portuguese, Jesuits, French, etc. I can easily prove this. If you would lime further explanation please contact me Bella and Darren. Sound like she listening to የኛ ባንድ. I also live in Dallas, Tx. DARREN IS ETHIOPIA just far removed and doesn't know it." and they're not the only ones who I have seen do this I've even seen west Indian cats say an AA looks west Indian instead of AA, like how in the hell does that work?!

South Sudanese are the ones I can tell from just eyeballing but I'm sure N Sudanese blend in with the Habeshas, Somalis, and even AAs. Atlanta has a pretty diverse African population.

You're Sudanese?!

Can you give me a legit fool recipe if you know one? Or maybe direct me to an authentic one online? I know there are a lot of variations of the dish, but I had a Sudanese version and it was delicious. Please, I'm desperate lol.

In my experience a lot of online East Africans are cowardly, racist, ignorant, insecure, and don't even know their own history for their respective countries. I've seen them quote Wikipedia and other sites without even understanding that the information was false. Literally painting themselves in a negative light without even understanding it, and being proud of it. The online East Africans that take shots at African Americans and other members of the diaspora are all so disturbingly effeminate in the way they try to insult people.

The offline ones have all been regular guys. So it's just universal that people get behind the computer screen and let their inner coward flow.

Most of the online trolls don't even live in the States

They're either from Canada or Europe.. yet they are obsessed with AA's for whatever reason.

I just wanna know if you gave the c00n that work tho?

Nah let him c00n. My GF was working that shyt job temporarily and was out of there in like 4 months. It was some packaging plant and shyt temp work. This dude was old and balding, had a wife and kid at home, and was looking for a younger comeup. His life was already an L.

I just gave him one of these in the parking lot and kept it moving.

We laughed at his pitiful expression on our drive on the way home and still talk about it occasionally to this day and laugh.
