lool yes Ethiopians and Eritreans are quite nationalist, but

Habesha is Habesha so I don't understand why it's offensive when they're still a shared ethnic/cultural group

. I get mistaken for Ethiopian on an almost daily basis but I don't get mad

this is the same for Somalilanders and Somalians?

No SL/Somalia is different because we are all ethnic Somalis for the most part, one ethnic group with one language whereas Habesha is more of a broad cultural grouping of various but related ethnicities that speak different Semitic languages ie. Amharic, Tigrigna, Guragigna and are primarily Christian. Most Ethiopians (Oromos, Somalis, etc) aren't Habesha but they've dominated power for so long that their culture has become synonymous with Ethiopian nationality :mad:

Alright off to go fail this thing lol, wish me luck people

[Gheelle.T]

^girl, I know nothing about Habashas and their script, but your handwriting sucks

[Safferz]

It does lool the instructor says my handwriting is good but I think he's just being nice I'm the only person in the intermediate class who doesn't come from an Amharic speaking family, so I feel like he's too easily impressed by my mediocrity lol. Still, my English handwriting is also incomprehensible so I'm just being consistent

Safferz, do you goto Harvard?

[Safferz]

Why not guess Boston University, MIT, UMass-Boston, Tufts, or any of the 50+ schools here? I can think of 2-3 other schools in the Boston area with African language offerings, including Somali

[Khayr]

Saff is in community college.

You can get any course you like so long as you have the right amount of money. I wanted to teach Japenese one time but they

said that a black man as a Japenese teacher was a hard sell.

What a load of bs....I know -right?

You could be right Saff, but the metadata/exif/GPS data coordinates of that picture comes back to specific location.

 

Just for future references, if you are going to post a picture make sure the GPS is disabled on your iPad iOS7. Most image hosting sites don't strip that data.

 

Not Stalking....Just helping.

feeling Amharic too in the Horn, this African caweeys.

 

Saffz,

 

are you familiar with the Amharic genre of Tizita?

 

it's nostalgia music. i'm told Ethiopians, beneath their tough exterior, are sentimental beings. ma ruunba?
