Why Habesha (Ethopia/Eritrea) don't date "BLACK" men First hand experience from my Eritrean girlfriend on our relationship toppa di morning Kish my world
I am from Ethiopia and happy to see two Africans loving each other. Jackie is very rational and fair which I respect about her. Kish is also a great listener and that is wonderful. Yes, there are people in both Ethiopia and Eritrea who feel they are better than other Africans but the root cause of the view is probably out of ignorance. Educated people in these countries do not share those views. But once you get close to Ethiopians, they are actually very welcoming. When I was in college, I had a Kenyan friend and the Ethiopians around him treated him just as one of us. Another Tanzanian who studied with us slowly warmed towards us and he was even making us ugali on occasions. Enjoy life.
I concur with your view. I am Kenyan Kikuyu married to an Amhara lady, we have three kids and never in my entire life have I experienced any racist attitude in Ethiopia.
@dwamburu1 Hello oh my God you are Kikuyu. I have been praying to meet a person from the tribe. I am South African Xhosa lady, I want to name my unborn first child with the Kikuyu name. This name means JOY ( Gakenya). Please write it for me in a correct Kikuyu spelling.
Jackie, I agreed with you one hundred percent. Everyone is entitled to live life free. Respect yourself and also respect other people and this world would be a happier place
It is not racism. We are black. Ethiopian and Eritrean focusing religions and culture . I dont think she represent Eritrean & Ethiopian. We have deferent Africans friends and nebours.we loves them & respect 🙏
❤❤such a. great and honest conversation from both of you.. but you two are more culturally aware and your love wins.. it’s sad people insult Jackie because she is with you, but she is strong and genuine..forget the haters!! what a sad time if you cannot be with someone just because of their culture.
The funny thing is if they said they were brother and sister to a stranger they would not bat an eye. I can understand cultural differences but having a bad word for so called "black" Africans is despicable.
wow, great video and conversation and very much needed. we as a black nation need to explore why we base so much on skin color. and why their is discrimination and some feel light skin is superior. Jacqueline is a smart young lady and doesn't seem to agree with those views about race/cultural norms.
Because you have inferiority complex East Africans never talk about but you praise Habesha women like God, fetish, you worship us? Don’t focus on skin color. We are human beings all!!!
@@kish_myworld Because those people are racist and stupid. The day they shall know a bit of biology and that the living members of the primate order include monkeys, apes, and humans; and any member of this order of mammals is called a primate, they may hate themselves as well. Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalis need to learn they are PRIMATE. How do they will feel about that?
@@kish_myworld I find that the first generation Habeshas born or raised in the diaspora are pretty open in terms of dating and friendships. They are loyal to their own but identify with all Black people and often date others.Once you grow up together those divisions evaporate.
Internalized colorism, but they will deny it while you see them dating whytes and make excuses about their "unique culture" when it comes to other Africans.
Thank you Kish & Jackie. Your topic is interesting and enlightening. I like Jackie for her open mindedness. As she says, your own happiness in a relationship is what matters most. May God bless your relationship.
What do you mean " they don't date BLACK men " ? ?? Do the Eritrean or Ethiopian men looks to you white or what ? ?? ? _ it's not a big concern why habesha girls rarely date non habesha boys since there are so many all around them BUT the biggest Concern as an African is WHY so many African men ( specifically west Africans _eg Nigerians) eager to date white women or others out of theirs ? ? ? ? Why they don't want to date their beautiful girls.... ? # Any way God bless both of you.
Let me break it down in a more accurate way. In Ethiopia, it's not so much about racism against other Africans; only about 10 to 15% think that way. In Ethiopia, there are 80 different tribes with 80 different languages and cultures. The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigray mostly don't want to marry outside their tribe, let alone marry someone from a different nationality, which includes white people. 80% of the time, it has to do with preserving the culture and heritage rather than with race.
Marriage out of your tribe is not easy because i personally was in it,for me i will go with my habesha but it's an individual choice and am ok with it and it's not my business.
Why is he lucky? what is so special about them, learn to love yourself, don't put other people on a high pedal stool, it may come across as if you see yourself as less than.
Why is he lucky again? Some of you are so weird. It's Nornal for women to search their own men. Same for men. I see this kind of comments from africans when other Africans are with whites.
@@kish_myworldyou 😂lucky having Eritrean women. You guys don’t love Habesha women. You want someone with eurasian feature and long hair. You guys have inferiority complex. We know how you treat your women, how racist you are against west African women, but you love Habesha women more than your own women? Why you don’t focus on character? Why You prioritise external things or beauty ? Can show me the opposite, eritrean man and west African women? Never ever? Because we are conservative society? We don’t marry with white, west African or Arab? We are not racist we conservative this is our culture? We want marry Habesha women but if she reject you, you consider with racism? You are racist you want marry Habesha women nothing to do with culture, religion and language? Why you want to marry to Habesha women? Simple because she is beautiful? Why you focus on beauty? You are racist against your own women/ west African women.
Thanks for this very interesting discussion. Jackie is a very smart, clever and good looking young lady. She has a bright mind and is an open minded person. It is correct, old fashion and minded people are narrow minded and very traditional and Conservative. It used to be like this for ages, all around the world. In the past people never travelled out of their country even their own region. So they sticked to their own people, religion. The various and many conflicts and wars didn't help 😢 because people were even hating other people looking same but different tribes living in a same country. I personally noticed here in Europe some racism among some Africans of different nationalities. I won't say in details. That is not the point here. But then in those particular conflitual situations I realised that among themselves there can be some dislike and racism. I also noticed that between some Arabs and some Africans there are some misunderstandings. Not long ago, after the 2nd WW, you would never see German and French mixing or together or marriages. Luckily time has changed. Among ex-Yougoslavien people same situations occur. Of course the religions have also big influence on people's mind. Nowadays, people in this world 🌎, have to change their minds and become more open minded and try to live peacefully and accept the differences. 🥰
Kish, let me tell you the truth. First, Most people in Ethiopia believe that Human beings are social animal, we usually love to interact in different currcumstance especially Holiday, Funeral and weedings.Hence we don't went to miss such a gathering and usually try to avoid culture clashes while doing so. Secondly, we believe that most people love to reflect his or her own culture in any circumstances possible therefore, we always belive and understand that people whom live closer to us had better understanding and respect for our culture, customs, belief and as well as social and moral value of the community. Third, most Habesha belive that we had better culture and costoms of keeping the marriage last longer even in very difficult situation. Finally, there is nothing to do we racism. It is human nature to go and look after more of towards who look alike.
Thanks for the honest discussion you guys are lovely 🥰. I will say that Ethiopians do marry within the culture because of language barrier. People forget English is not a first language there. Another factor is religion. Most orthodox want to marry another orthodox, it’s a highly religious country. Whenever my non English speaking Ethiopians get hit on by other races they usually say, how will we communicate if I get with him. It’s not about race at all, from my experience. At least for the most part! Be blessed
Thanks kish for the topic, for me as a South African I see your partner as black just like you. I don't know maybe it's because i come from a diverse country.
@@Jazz-fg2dm Context. In the Horn of Africa, black has a historical context that makes it specific to particular group of Africans. Black/African today is broadly all of us in the continent, or anyone that has melanin. This meaning was created by Europeans, due to their "one-drop" or "pure race" mentality. But in Ethiopia's history, it was a group of blacker people that were mostly enslaved. (By them)
@@rafaelw8115 Where do you get that? Is it research, or do you know historical documents we can read about it? Because I think there are many shades of black. Black isn't one color or even one race. We have a lot of people that are called racially black by Europeans' definitions, but they are not black at all.
Hey guys, I watched some video's of you two together in Jordan and Tanzania. I subscribed after this video. Because i think your content is very informative. I am traveling in Africa a lot at the moment so i think your video's will help me. These past few months i have been to Tanzania, Cape Verde, Senegal, Kenya, Egypt and Morocco many many manyyyyyyyyyy times. So hopefully i can see some other African countries on your channel. Like South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Namibia, Nigeria, Seychelles, Mauritius etc etc. ❤❤❤❤ Also Jakie is a very down to earth young woman. She is not an attention seeking person. I like that. ❤❤ Be blessed
This is the most natural thing in a society. Any society. Our own in Maasailand have a lot of problems when a man doesn't marry a Maasai girl. It is not seen, but there is also a name for people that are not Maasai. Though it usually applies to the closer peoples..neighbouring us
Massai is one of the oldest and indigenous people and culture. If more people date outside, do you think those cultures will sustain all this time ? Not really. It will become distinct. Some people want to preserve their culture and their community, interracial or intercultural relationships have a higher chance to do that and sometimes the kids will also be affected as they will grow up with identity crisis.. Imagine the differences that it can create with the partners on the long run. People need to understands this. It is not always about race or color, there are far more things than that.
@@AmedAfash Yeah for sure. And I for one never have any problem with people feeling superior. I know that we have grown up that way..feeling like we are superior, our culture is better than others' and we are closer to God than everyone else is. But once you understand that almost every culture views itself and relation with others that way, you won't have problems. or even care how another sees you. Especially when you are seeing them the exact same way. In the past there used to be assimilation. When one marries from outside, that woman is brought fully in and she sheds everything to do with where she came from. But in modern times that doesn't happen. And children will be aware that they are cross-heritage, and not fully one thing. I personally don't think there is a problem with any of the perspectives. One just needs to know where to be at, if you choose to go cross-cultural.
@@kish_myworldI don’t understand why you guys are being so rude if we love our men how they look how they talk what’s wrong about that . Dating love is not affirmative action
@@bennn9280it’s a sickness what they are accusing us of . And it’s sick weird fetish and obsession if someone doesn’t want to date you move on your life
Thanks Kish for this video. It shows some African people think they are superior to others. But everyone is beautiful in their own right. Dating white people is not as great as some Africans think. I like yours and Jackies relationship ❤
Habesha women are amazing & beautiful as are ALL African women. However the real reason most Africans adore them is that they’ve features are more like white women. It’s adoration of the idea of “Caucasian beauty” which is seen in them. Let’s be honest.
@@maesims1213 Find an English dictionary and find what exotic means and see how it may apply in this case. That is not my opinion , I am only telling you how some people respond to something or people they are not used to seeing. FYI White men consider Asian women exotic too while some black men consider Latinas exotic. It is what it is, i live in the real world.
Off course you need to have 30.000 soon Kish because videos are great and interesting, traveling together with girlfriend is fantastic videos, like yours
It all comes back to exposure! The young lady was raised outside of Africa and has a more open mind! Meeting Eritreas and Ethiopians in the Middle East was eye opening for me as a Black American. The most surprising thing was after their own they put whyte people on pedestal! Wish the best for you 2!!
So far, two diasporans Habeshas were trying to date me, southern African man, wasn´t really interested due to circumstaces, both attractive. I tried to date an Ethio woman fresh from Addis. It was an Ethio party, she thought I was Habesha (her friends were from Eritrea), once she learnt I´m continental African, she dropped me like hot potatoes. Fast forward, she learnt form her friend that I run a business and she was suddenly friendly and smiling. Moral of the story? And by the way, for me East, West, Southern African women are equally attractive on their own right. The hype about Habesha women is just a colorism and whiteness colonial mentality. How I know? Mixed women (black and white) like considered within and outside the african/black community as "attractive", just like dark skinned Habeshas are considered less attractive then their light skinned counterpart. In short, black ppl, not just habeshas, we are in trouble. Love yourself. Lastly, Bantus like Kish, are actually from Sudan (Nubia) and the Gnome of Ethiopians has been found similarly in Southern Africa as well as in Senegal. Also Oromia language has clear Bantu phonetics, but that´s another story for another day...
Man, its all disappointing to know a black country like Eritrea has a word for other Africans. And the African Union is headquartered in Ethiopia. I have Ethiopian friends who are very nice and kind and we have gone to shows , dinners at home together etc so hopefully this bad word is limited to Eritrea and not Ethiopia as well. I am from Southern Africa like you, Zim to be exact living in the US and you are absolutely correct colonialism and slavery did a number on us. My girlfriend is from Colombia and we about to go home but even her Afro people in Colombia also suffer from the colorism issue and in fact there is a word for it about improving the race by marrying white folks. We should all be proud of who we are.
Yesssssss I have wondered before why they classified Cushitic languages like oromia as afro asian , cus they sound Bantus or African to me Only semetic language like tigrigna in ethiopia is truly semetic 😂 the sounds and accents also haha
Sorrybut as an eritrean born and raised jackie cant represent eritreans cos she's a diaspora woman i cant guarantee if she deeply know our culture.so i cant buy whatever she's saying i believe we all are black and africans too even in eritrea we are not all fair skinned and speaking of choosing whites over black not truee .parents wish to marry eritrean one not europeans or africans she is soooo wrong there is no hierarchy of fair skin or darker skin .ans u dont know our culture and language properly ur hubby was telling uou the truth .😂😂😂😂😂.
Guys, if you found eachother and want serously to be together and Master the Life, than Go ahead. But dont make it to a political or cultural big issue. Why always black Brothers complaining, that they have the feeling, that our Habesha people dont accept them? Why dont African Woman complain Not to get us handsome Habesha man? It is always the man, who a complaining, because they just want to have fun with our Habesha women. Just few of them like this dud is really for life. Therefore I wish you all the best both of you. God bless you🙏🏾✝️
The fact that even one Kenya tribe (the biggest one) thinks superior to the others is a fact of reality about tribe and cultures. So Eritrean thoughts are not more not less about culture, conservancy and mindset and how to approach things. We have Orthodox Christianity mind set. Our culture and heritage come from there. This makes Eritrea or Ethiopia different from the rest of africa.
She looks Rwandese. Which shows that some of the Rwandese may have origins in the Horn of Africa. Very beautiful. As Africans, we are sensitive to racism, but we still have such issues within ourselves. We discriminate others. Colorism is real too. Growing up, I was called a Luo (Nilotic group) for being darker than all my peers. Even my relatives called me Omwafrika (African)! Interestingly, in university, I started aligning myself with Nilotes (Kalenjins and Luos), phenotypically and linguistically I could fit in. Studying intercultural communication, I learnt that discrimination, racism, etc are actually responses which try to protect a group from the "fear of the unknown." It might be a survival instinct.
@Kish have you gone back to kenya since you relocated to sweden? have you noticed how everything looks now extremely dirty and disorganized when you land back home?
Excuse me, habesha women not only date but also marry black men because as Kenyan, Kikuyu man, I am happily married to a beautiful if not beautifullest Amhara wife and never in my entire interaction with her family or other Ethiopians have I experienced an iota of discrimination or racist attitude from them. In fact, its quite the opposite. We have three beautiful children. I think you are referring to the Habeshas of the 1950s or before that.
It's hard for them to date other black people. Let's be honest, Kish. They don't have a problem dating and marrying white people. I like Ethiopians and Eritreans. I'm not interested in dating them. I appreciate your girlfriends honesty. I have lived closely with them. I know their mentality. It doesn't both me. It is what it is. Many of them see themselves as Semitic people. I respect people and their beliefs. Your girlfriend is so smart. You are a lucky man.
She is sugarcoating about her family for you not feeling bad bro, it's hard for Eritrean families to accepte their daughter to date a kenyan and other Africans.
@@alan.imangue don't put words to my mouth i didn't say. Habesha families don't approve interracial marriage especially with someone from Sub Saharan countries, Unfortunately this is the truth.
Thanks i like your video,as an black african musilum,even west africa there is light skin tribes but they dont talk about have this ignorant mentality.
What I don’t understand is why you generalize and included Ethiopia in the title and the video content when she’s Eritrean and said she can’t speak for another country.. how racist of you to generalize and lump us all up
It’s the culture issue with the habeshas people. They are too stingy attached with culture and comfort to stay with in their communities . And also luck of exposure to others specially in communication there is a big barrier.
African christans they dont know habashas history but we black musilums we know it,prophet majamed mention thier name during conquest of mecca he said dont look down at people because of their dark skin even that person is Abyssianian Abyssianian
As someone who is half Ethiopian and half Somali, I can confirm that many people are unaware that Ethiopia second Christian nation in the world, after Armenia, Ethiopia has practiced Orthodox Oriental Christianity in its pure form. Orthodoxy represents a profound level of spirituality. A special shout-out to the Coptic Christians in Egypt, as well as our Greek, Russian, and Eastern Orthodox brethren that has experienced persecution in all of Middle East and North Africa for 1400 years Muhammad, who is obviously theologoically irrelevant to us, was a warlord with an insane track record of cruelty. Regardless of how one views it, even an atheist can see the comparison between Muhammad and Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and quickly conclude who is the eternal role model for humanity hadith is narrated by Anas ibn Malik and is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari: "Obey your leader even if he is an Ethiopian slave whose head looks like a raisin."
Man this is sad and disappointing to hear that Eritreans have a bad word that references other black people. I have had friends here in the US who are Ethiopian and have invited me ot their houses. I am Zimbabwean and know a few guys who went to Ethiopia to be pilots and engineers and married Ethiopian women. However , I should also say of all the Ethipoians i have known i do not remember any that was married to a white person. People are just complicated but kudos to this girl for speaking her truth. I also just thought I have a Sudanese friend here in the US and his other Sudanese friend is married to an Ethiopian woman. For me, for all other Africans i have know South Sudanese are some of the most solid Africans to be friends with. I do not understand how we black people tolerate this colorism nonsense but are agains white racism. The only other observation I have is that Ethiopians are very religious and go to church every weekend so if you were to marry them then there is a lot of differences that have to be ironed out. It is good to have these conversations.
They married to black men mostly from the usa because they feel they're well taken care financially, the phillipinos do the same even though the hate on black people, they just know what they want,do u think they would marry a hotel worker from Africa or another country that's not rich
If ethiopians or erithreans dont marry black men,where is the problem?People who see it as a problem have very low self worth.People are not obliged to like you,and it is normal.If ethiopian women prefer white men ,that is their choice and there is nothing wrong with it.There are plenty other women in africa.There are also plenty black men who will never ever consider marrying an ethiopian woman.
@@alan.imangue It is pretty obvious you lack basic English comprehension skills and i cannot help you with that. I have no issue with who someone dates or does not date. I have travelled all over the world and I have never been to Ethiopia or wanted to date an Ethiopian woman. I have Ethiopian friends that are high level professionals here in the US. The girl in the video clearly said Eritreans maybe not all have a word they use for "Africans" in her own words which means they or a significant number of them see themselves as different from other Sub Saharan black people. I do not care if any Ethiopian or Eritrean seems themselves as not black but why create a word that is derogatory against other Africans. In my experience the person who seeks advantage or superiority over another is the one that lacks self esteem. I have never met a Nigerian, or fellow Zimbabwean or other black Africans who lacked self esteem so your assertion is baseless. For your information, regular African folks go about their daily lives with no care about what goes on outside their own country so really could care less what an Eritrean thinks about them. This guy brought the subject up so everything else is just opinions and not a fighting match.
@@alan.imangue I don't care who marry who,it's just facts I am putting out there,u can't hate people because of their color u say bad things about them but u will marry their money,and stoop to their black low level,her choice is white but will take black for what she wants
Intermarriage between Tigrinya speaking people like the Eritreans and Tigray people and rest of Ethiopia has stumbling blocks.The Kikuyus came from congo and a smaller branch came from Ethiopia.It helps explain why some kikuyu,s have hair textured according to Ethiopia.Remember Fidel son of Odinga, married an Eritrean.
What a lie! Our history doesn’t show that. Listen to the speech of king Haileselassie or emperor Menelik. They were proud Africans. Why did Aste Menelik mobilise Ethiopians to fight against Italian colonialists? Why were ANC fighters trained in Ethiopia during apartheid? Ethiopian leaders played great role in the fight against colonial powers.
The conscious ones are aware. You also have the Oromo, Tigray and other splinter ethnic groups in Ethiopia. The same phenotype can be found in Eastern Africa like Rwanda.
Its about the children .when it comes to divorce its difficult. As somali we are all black but different cultures. I went to boarding school in kenya and i was always seen as different .you push people a way and then you tell them you are racist. Up to now there are kenyans who believe somalis are not part of them.??? Sema sasa
@kish_myworld Kabisa. Anyway live happily with your wife. Enjoy the world and stick togather. You are young lovely couple.i have a daughter who looks like her. Bless you
Somalians are also closer if not the same as Ethiopians and Eritreans as well. I also think North Africans, Middle Easteners and Arabs are in your radar as well before you leap for Caucasians. Lol.
I don’t think she is full eritrean maybe her mother is Eritrean, because she has very thick lips. Moreover, she spoke about her mother only? How about her father he should be not eritrean. Eritrean man don’t let her date outside her race. The reason is not racism. Eritreans are conservative they don’t allow interracial marriage with someone who has different religion, culture and language.
The East Africa region has one of the most diverse Black genetic pool in the continent ranging from Niger-Congo Bantu , Nilotic, Nilo-Saharan, Nilo-Cushitic and Cushitic .
Some Banyarwanda completed their DNA analysis and determined predominant Niger-Congo Bantu DNA previously associated with Banyarwanda hutu and variations of Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan/Nilo-Cushitic DNA previously associated with the Banyarwanda tutsi and similar to Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan variations found among the Oromo of Ethiopia and the Maasai of Kenya, Tanzania . Present day Banyarwanda are admixture of Niger-Congo Bantu and Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan DNA . The height variation among some Banyarwanda derived from Nilotic extraction .
Sudanic Nilotics like the Sudanic Nuer, Luo and Dinka the tallest groups in the planet while Congo Bantu Pygmie the shortest . The continent is the most diverse genetically and Black America represent this spectrum of diversity because of complete admixture of multiple groups .
I think Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalians are more affiliated to Arabs, and that’s why they have that mindset. Just my opinion. Having said that to each is own, you’re attracted to who you’re attracted too.
For me strangely they are the ones who approached n I'm kikuyu.we claim to have come from aksium(Hakumu) in Ethiopia, Habashi,habesha,(ubaci) in Kikuyu songs of ancestral remembrance.so let jaqui know you are habesha like her.greet her✋
Sorry Kish to say so I have interacted with many Ethiopians or Eritreans n they are racist mostly Ethiopians.They don’t think they r Africans which I think they r not!Ibthink they r Arabs but stand to be collected.Also ladies think they r beutiful more than others which is a big lie coz we have eyes n we know what beauty means?
That is why thier Govt gets away with treating them so bad because of they know that they have isolated themselves from other Africans. Any African in their right mind can not stand up for them. When they learn to see themselves as Africans and love other Africans and stop calling us names then they will be free from mental slavery from the white man
The funniest parts is that they are been used as sexual toys by Arab men. They prefer been sex slave to Arabs than date a blackman,very myopic and unexposed with sense superiority reeks of vacuity.
The last thing you can tell to an Ethiopian is to associate them with Arabs. Nope 👎🏼 proud African. If you’re talking about Muslim Ethiopians yes they love to say they’ve Arab in them. The Christians doesn’t like Arabs in the past Arabs have committed genocide against Ethiopian Christian’s. Read about : Grang Mohammed he murdered many Christians and some converted:(
You always make things about racism or color, but in reality, no Eritrean or Ethiopian wants their children to marry outside their culture, even with whites(noting special about them). It's not about hate. I've been to many places outside Africa, and it's the same everywhere.
One of the reason why they don't do that is because the don't speak a common language with other countries like English and lack of exposure. Otherwise,nothing special about them.
IDK as a African American i have friends who are married to Ethiopians and Somalians as well as relatives I have not heard of this ever being an issue from any East African family or friends maybe because they are educated IDK it seems weird
How naive are you? What do you mean by educated? You don’t have any culture, ethics and moral understanding because you are educated? We want the science and technology of the western world only. We don’t want the disgusting AA, WA and western world culture.
Kish is a Kikuyu some Kikuyu came from Ethiopia thats why they resembles ...We have some Kikuyus who are brown than Ethiopians but we always align ourselves with black people...though East african don't like inter marring with other africans.
I'm half Somali (Ajuraan Kenyan) and half Oromo (Borana, with some minor assimilated Amharas). After traveling back and forth to East Africa over the past five years, and delving into this rabbit hole with my Rwandan and Kenyan friends, I've learned about the old Savannah Nilotic pastoral culture that existed from Egypt as far south as modern-day Zimbabwe. These pastoral people were a mix of non-Africans and non-Arabs, but Eurasian people from the Levant who mixed with a proto-Nilotic sub-Saharan population group in the Horn of Africa, which then gave birth to the Cushites. You can see elements of these features, DNA ancestry, and rituals, like drinking cow blood and circumcision, across all of East Africa. Maasais and Samburus are on average 40% Cushitic and 60% Nilotic. The same goes for the Datooga, and Samburus can even have higher Cushitic admixture. Beja, Somalis, Sidama, Oromo, Amhara, Tigray, Saho, Afar, and Gabbra all originated from the same ancient Savannah Nilotic pastoral people that roamed all of East Africa with their cattle. The powerful Hima and Tutsi of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Eastern DRC are on average 70% Cushitic, and most likely experienced a language shift when they assimilated into the agricultural Bantu expansion waves from Central and West Africa. If you want to see the last remnants of these people before they are totally absorbed and go extinct, visit the Iraqw people in Tanzania, the last remaining Southern Cushites. Check out Sage Nomad for scientific sources about the origin of the Tutsi Hima and the connection to Ethipian and Somali people. Also, I forgot to add that the Kikuyu have absorbed some of these extinct Southern Cushite people. However, from my understanding, this absorption was not direct but occurred through some intermixing with the Maasai.
Do you guys wanna live in sweden for the rest of your lifes? i don't understand why any black person wants to live outside Africa personally i was born in europe so im kinda of stuck here for now but im not going to live here forever im going leave and come back to the mother land.
Everyone has their preferences. For us we live the life quality in Sweden and how the systems work so seamlessly. Africa we will definitely visit a lot but living there nope
Kish honestly speaking this ain’t a video that should be released you are putting a negative light on Ethiopians I can’t speak for Eritreans. As for Ethiopians they are many different tribes and everyone since the beginning of our history stuck to thier tribe and language to continue culture. It’s got nothing to do with Colour I’m not sure why Africans project this about us even though there’s no evidence it’s just prejudices that people push about us that everyone else has aswell which is really unfair specially considering our history. Eritreans have been colonised and mental are different,
Kish did well, people need to talk about this. It's not good to pretend the truth is the truth. I have experienced this and so many other Africans. Your people are always calling other Africans black and hurling insults it's very bad
The reason we need to talk about such sensitive issues is to bring awareness about them. Not to shame anyone but shed light on the issue. No bad intentions here James
I don't like to love outside my country or my culture but i accept to other people to do what they want to love , i wish you to have happy relationship or marriage 💑
Black America are admixture of several groups in the continent of Africa . The borders in the continent are artificial and therefore groups occupy several territories . Like the Oromo of Ethiopia and Kenya, the Somali are predominantly Cushitic and occupy Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti . The Maasai are Nilotic with variations of Nilo-Saharan/Nilo-Cushitc due to their migratory patterns and occupy Kenya, Tanzania . The Ewe of Benin ,Ghana, Togo .
Like the Nilotic Luo of Kenya(Obama,Lupita),Luo of Uganda( Luo-Langi like President Miton Obote, Army Chief Gen David Oyite Ojok, Luo-Acholi like President Gen Tito Okello, Army Commander Gen Bazilio Olara Okello, LRA rebels against Yoweri Museveni JOSEPH KONY, Okot Odhiambo, WOMAN KING ACTOR SHEILA ATIM),Luo of Tanzania ,DRC Congo, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Luo of Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea . Luo in Aegan and Abu Simbel region on the border of Sudan and Egypt .
The Waswahili of Kenya, Zanzibar(President Sheikh Abeid Karume),Pemba, Lamu, Pate,Tanganyika, Mozambique, Madagascar/Malagasy and Southern Somalia . The Nilo-Sahelian Fulani of Nigeria(President Muhammadu Buhari), Senegal, Cameroon, Chad, Central Africa republic, Chad, Mali, Gambia . The Shona of Zimbabwe(President Robert Mugabe), Mozambique, Kenya, Southern Africa territories . etc .
I'm half Somali (Ajuraan Kenyan) and half Oromo (Borana, with some minor assimilated Amharas). After traveling back and forth to East Africa over the past five years, and delving into this rabbit hole with my Rwandan and Kenyan friends, I've learned about the old Savannah Nilotic pastoral culture that existed from Egypt as far south as modern-day Zimbabwe. These pastoral people were a mix of non-Africans and non-Arabs, but Eurasian people from the Levant who mixed with a proto-Nilotic sub-Saharan population group in the Horn of Africa, which then gave birth to the Cushites. You can see elements of these features, DNA ancestry, and rituals, like drinking cow blood and circumcision, across all of East Africa. Maasais and Samburus are on average 40% Cushitic and 60% Nilotic. The same goes for the Datooga, and Samburus can even have higher Cushitic admixture. Beja, Somalis, Sidama, Oromo, Amhara, Tigray, Saho, Afar, and Gabbra all originated from the same ancient Savannah Nilotic pastoral people that roamed all of East Africa with their cattle. The powerful Hima and Tutsi of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Eastern DRC are on average 70% Cushitic, and most likely experienced a language shift when they assimilated into the agricultural Bantu expansion waves from Central and West Africa. If you want to see the last remnants of these people before they are totally absorbed and go extinct, visit the Iraqw people in Tanzania, the last remaining Southern Cushites. Check out Sage Nomad for scientific sources about the origin of the Tutsi Hima and the connection to Ethipian and Somali people. Also, I forgot to add that the Kikuyu have absorbed some of these extinct Southern Cushite people. However, from my understanding, this absorption was not direct but occurred through some intermixing with the Maasai.
@@nassergabriel4778 Actress LUPITA NYONGO completed a DNA test and determined direct descendant from ancestral eve(first female on planet) from the NILE VALLEY . There is nothing like non-African occupying the Nile Valley . LUPITA NYONGO is of Nilotic ancestry found among the Dinka, Luo, Nuer and other groups in Sudan/Lower Egypt .
Wait, so Ethiopians are not melanated?! i thought they were. They may have a bit of mix in them just like somalians but i thought they were predominantly melanated.
Not just Ethiopia. In some countries tribalism is worse than racism. Think Rwanda 1994. But beside this extreme case, there are tribes in Africa that cannot intermarry. I am in the west and have been to asia, it was easier to date a white person here and 1000 times easier to date an Asian in Asia than it was with local women of a different tribe. Legit.😂😂
Ethiopia has been a closed country very ancient religion and culture. Never been colonized not so much interaction with other nations. The fear developed from Italian invasion also created foreigners being dangerous cannot be trusted. To preserve culture and continuation of society you have to preserve religion and culture. Often Europeans have tried to divide the country by bringing their own religion and culture that have been experienced in other African countries it started to happen in Ethiopia. It’s still a well known fact as prosperity gospel has spread in Ethiopia taking advantage of the poor to leave their original orthodox religion and join Pentecostal religion with the help of a lots of NGO’s:( divide and conquer
I am from Ethiopia and happy to see two Africans loving each other. Jackie is very rational and fair which I respect about her. Kish is also a great listener and that is wonderful. Yes, there are people in both Ethiopia and Eritrea who feel they are better than other Africans but the root cause of the view is probably out of ignorance. Educated people in these countries do not share those views. But once you get close to Ethiopians, they are actually very welcoming. When I was in college, I had a Kenyan friend and the Ethiopians around him treated him just as one of us. Another Tanzanian who studied with us slowly warmed towards us and he was even making us ugali on occasions. Enjoy life.
That was kind of
I concur with your view. I am Kenyan Kikuyu married to an Amhara lady, we have three kids and never in my entire life have I experienced any racist attitude in Ethiopia.
@dwamburu1 Hello oh my God you are Kikuyu. I have been praying to meet a person from the tribe.
I am South African Xhosa lady, I want to name my unborn first child with the Kikuyu name. This name means JOY ( Gakenya).
Please write it for me in a correct Kikuyu spelling.
Ethiopia only eat pancake and Africans have heavy diet.
@@JM-vx9fu You can sittle your internal dispute first before You hate people Who dont need anything from you
Jackie, I agreed with you one hundred percent. Everyone is entitled to live life free. Respect yourself and also respect other people and this world would be a happier place
Thank you Mary…
I love Jackie's honesty. She is smart and beautiful and I hope you love her genuinely
It is not racism. We are black. Ethiopian and Eritrean focusing religions and culture . I dont think she represent Eritrean & Ethiopian. We have deferent Africans friends and nebours.we loves them & respect 🙏
My point exactly. She speaking out things she has no knowledge of. For us culture revolves around our religion. Spreading lies for some youtube money.
❤❤such a. great and honest conversation from both of you.. but you two are more culturally aware and your love wins.. it’s sad people insult Jackie because she is with you, but she is strong and genuine..forget the haters!!
what a sad time if you cannot be with someone just because of their culture.
Yea she has gotten some really disturbing comments from her people coz she’s with me! Sad 😔
The funny thing is if they said they were brother and sister to a stranger they would not bat an eye. I can understand cultural differences but having a bad word for so called "black" Africans is despicable.
I’m happy to see you guys ❤🇪🇷🇰🇪 just be happy forget about what say athers!
Keep shining beautiful couple. sending my wishes from Eritrea. 🇪🇷
Thanks
wow, great video and conversation and very much needed. we as a black nation need to explore why we base so much on skin color. and why their is discrimination and some feel light skin is superior. Jacqueline is a smart young lady and doesn't seem to agree with those views about race/cultural norms.
Yea true
Because you have inferiority complex East Africans never talk about but you praise Habesha women like God, fetish, you worship us? Don’t focus on skin color. We are human beings all!!!
I’m glad the sister honestly shared her community’s internalized racism. We all knew!!
She’s open about it atleast but her people won’t like this I’m sure
@@kish_myworld Because those people are racist and stupid. The day they shall know a bit of biology and that the living members of the primate order include monkeys, apes, and humans; and any member of this order of mammals is called a primate, they may hate themselves as well.
Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalis need to learn they are PRIMATE. How do they will feel about that?
@@kish_myworld I find that the first generation Habeshas born or raised in the diaspora are pretty open in terms of dating and friendships. They are loyal to their own but identify with all Black people and often date others.Once you grow up together those divisions evaporate.
Internalized colorism, but they will deny it while you see them dating whytes and make excuses about their "unique culture" when it comes to other Africans.
kikuyus also dislike many other communities. I don't want to say here but your folks project lots of negativity to other tribes.
Jackie is wonderful! Love her outlook on life! Great gal!!
Thank you Kish & Jackie. Your topic is interesting and enlightening. I like Jackie for her open mindedness. As she says, your own happiness in a relationship is what matters most. May God bless your relationship.
What do you mean " they don't date BLACK men " ? ?? Do the Eritrean or Ethiopian men looks to you white or what ? ?? ?
_ it's not a big concern why habesha girls rarely date non habesha boys since there are so many all around them
BUT the biggest Concern as an African is WHY so many African men ( specifically west Africans _eg Nigerians) eager to date white women or others out of theirs ? ? ? ?
Why they don't want to date their beautiful girls.... ?
# Any way God bless both of you.
Good question
They dislike their own women and prefer ours because of their features and complexion. It's amusing to even mention it.
This is so true. Self hate is a big thing in Africa. They see it as a big achievement to be with someone who don't have the same reflection as them !!
@@AmedAfash and who created that self hates??
@@AmedAfash
There's so much ignored lookism among Africans, even when dealing with everyday stuff like development.
Let me break it down in a more accurate way. In Ethiopia, it's not so much about racism against other Africans; only about 10 to 15% think that way. In Ethiopia, there are 80 different tribes with 80 different languages and cultures. The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigray mostly don't want to marry outside their tribe, let alone marry someone from a different nationality, which includes white people. 80% of the time, it has to do with preserving the culture and heritage rather than with race.
Thanks
Marriage out of your tribe is not easy because i personally was in it,for me i will go with my habesha but it's an individual choice and am ok with it and it's not my business.
Exactly in Ethiopia it’s really not about race as there are many different types of tribes who look completely different.
False,
@@MunitCoccoliza I would say it's mostly true
Wow.. a big thanks to Jackie for being open minded ❤!
Lucky you kish respect the lady and love each other God bless u all❤❤❤
I love how the guy acknowledges and accepts facts and doesn't sugarcoat.
I totally agree with her. We can disagree with each other without being disrespectful and hateful.
Live and let live, people.
Peace to all
This is a very good question. Ethiopians & Eritrean mostly married and date in their community. You're a lucky man.
We both lucky…
Why is he lucky? what is so special about them, learn to love yourself, don't put other people on a high pedal stool, it may come across as if you see yourself as less than.
Who cares
Why is he lucky again? Some of you are so weird. It's Nornal for women to search their own men. Same for men. I see this kind of comments from africans when other Africans are with whites.
@@kish_myworldyou 😂lucky having Eritrean women. You guys don’t love Habesha women. You want someone with eurasian feature and long hair. You guys have inferiority complex. We know how you treat your women, how racist you are against west African women, but you love Habesha women more than your own women? Why you don’t focus on character? Why You prioritise external things or beauty ? Can show me the opposite, eritrean man and west African women? Never ever? Because we are conservative society? We don’t marry with white, west African or Arab? We are not racist we conservative this is our culture? We want marry Habesha women but if she reject you, you consider with racism? You are racist you want marry Habesha women nothing to do with culture, religion and language? Why you want to marry to Habesha women? Simple because she is beautiful? Why you focus on beauty? You are racist against your own women/ west African women.
He talks over her and does not let her finish her thoughts. Good luck to them.

You are a beautiful couple. Keep this happiness for us pls. I love the bonding.💞
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for this very interesting discussion. Jackie is a very smart, clever and good looking young lady. She has a bright mind and is an open minded person.
It is correct, old fashion and minded people are narrow minded and very traditional and Conservative. It used to be like this for ages, all around the world. In the past people never travelled out of their country even their own region. So they sticked to their own people, religion. The various and many conflicts and wars didn't help 😢 because people were even hating other people looking same but different tribes living in a same country.
I personally noticed here in Europe some racism among some Africans of different nationalities. I won't say in details. That is not the point here. But then in those particular conflitual situations I realised that among themselves there can be some dislike and racism. I also noticed that between some Arabs and some Africans there are some misunderstandings. Not long ago, after the 2nd WW, you would never see German and French mixing or together or marriages. Luckily time has changed. Among ex-Yougoslavien people same situations occur. Of course the religions have also big influence on people's mind.
Nowadays, people in this world 🌎, have to change their minds and become more open minded and try to live peacefully and accept the differences. 🥰
I love you two together.....all the best in your love journey
Thank you…
Kish, let me tell you the truth. First, Most people in Ethiopia believe that Human beings are social animal, we usually love to interact in different currcumstance especially Holiday, Funeral and weedings.Hence we don't went to miss such a gathering and usually try to avoid culture clashes while doing so. Secondly, we believe that most people love to reflect his or her own culture in any circumstances possible therefore, we always belive and understand that people whom live closer to us had better understanding and respect for our culture, customs, belief and as well as social and moral value of the community. Third, most Habesha belive that we had better culture and costoms of keeping the marriage last longer even in very difficult situation. Finally, there is nothing to do we racism. It is human nature to go and look after more of towards who look alike.
Thanks for the honest discussion you guys are lovely 🥰. I will say that Ethiopians do marry within the culture because of language barrier. People forget English is not a first language there. Another factor is religion. Most orthodox want to marry another orthodox, it’s a highly religious country. Whenever my non English speaking Ethiopians get hit on by other races they usually say, how will we communicate if I get with him. It’s not about race at all, from my experience. At least for the most part! Be blessed
Be blessed
I agree with this fully. And it should be allowed. I think we are too much into race
Thanks kish for the topic, for me as a South African I see your partner as black just like you. I don't know maybe it's because i come from a diverse country.
Yea she is black
Am Congolese and also see her as black as anyone else in africa
@@Jazz-fg2dm Context. In the Horn of Africa, black has a historical context that makes it specific to particular group of Africans.
Black/African today is broadly all of us in the continent, or anyone that has melanin. This meaning was created by Europeans, due to their "one-drop" or "pure race" mentality.
But in Ethiopia's history, it was a group of blacker people that were mostly enslaved. (By them)
@@rafaelw8115 Where do you get that? Is it research, or do you know historical documents we can read about it?
Because I think there are many shades of black. Black isn't one color or even one race.
We have a lot of people that are called racially black by Europeans' definitions, but they are not black at all.
@@rafaelw8115 I'm always curious about origins. At which point was Ethiopia fully black?
You two look great together, keep the love going mpaka last👍🏾👌🏽

You both are a great couple - pray for blessings for both of you 🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hey guys,
I watched some video's of you two together in Jordan and Tanzania. I subscribed after this video. Because i think your content is very informative. I am traveling in Africa a lot at the moment so i think your video's will help me. These past few months i have been to Tanzania, Cape Verde, Senegal, Kenya, Egypt and Morocco many many manyyyyyyyyyy times. So hopefully i can see some other African countries on your channel. Like South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Namibia, Nigeria, Seychelles, Mauritius etc etc. ❤❤❤❤
Also Jakie is a very down to earth young woman. She is not an attention seeking person. I like that. ❤❤ Be blessed
True. Jackie is so humble. Not like people we see today who take out their clothes for more views like Dee
Thanks for subbing ❤️
This is the most natural thing in a society. Any society.
Our own in Maasailand have a lot of problems when a man doesn't marry a Maasai girl. It is not seen, but there is also a name for people that are not Maasai. Though it usually applies to the closer peoples..neighbouring us
Massai is one of the oldest and indigenous people and culture. If more people date outside, do you think those cultures will sustain all this time ? Not really. It will become distinct. Some people want to preserve their culture and their community, interracial or intercultural relationships have a higher chance to do that and sometimes the kids will also be affected as they will grow up with identity crisis.. Imagine the differences that it can create with the partners on the long run. People need to understands this. It is not always about race or color, there are far more things than that.
@@AmedAfash Yeah for sure. And I for one never have any problem with people feeling superior. I know that we have grown up that way..feeling like we are superior, our culture is better than others' and we are closer to God than everyone else is.
But once you understand that almost every culture views itself and relation with others that way, you won't have problems. or even care how another sees you.
Especially when you are seeing them the exact same way.
In the past there used to be assimilation. When one marries from outside, that woman is brought fully in and she sheds everything to do with where she came from. But in modern times that doesn't happen. And children will be aware that they are cross-heritage, and not fully one thing.
I personally don't think there is a problem with any of the perspectives. One just needs to know where to be at, if you choose to go cross-cultural.
I’m habesha and I love only habesha it’s not racist love your own men

Thanks Kish for this video. It shows some African people think they are superior to others. But everyone is beautiful in their own right. Dating white people is not as great as some Africans think. I like yours and Jackies relationship ❤

It's Godhana here watching from ireland and I'm enjoying your videos
Habesha women are amazing & beautiful as are ALL African women. However the real reason most Africans adore them is that they’ve features are more like white women. It’s adoration of the idea of “Caucasian beauty” which is seen in them. Let’s be honest.
Never
To an extent you are correct, exotic but sadly most will not admit to this.
@@muchit3629 what do you mean by they are exotic
@@maesims1213 Find an English dictionary and find what exotic means and see how it may apply in this case. That is not my opinion , I am only telling you how some people respond to something or people they are not used to seeing. FYI White men consider Asian women exotic too while some black men consider Latinas exotic. It is what it is, i live in the real world.
Tbh you have no exposure to real African beauty... Habash can not even compete with South Sudanese junubi women
Off course you need to have 30.000 soon Kish because videos are great and interesting, traveling together with girlfriend is fantastic videos, like yours
Thanks…
Beautiful couple keep it up from south Africa
It all comes back to exposure! The young lady was raised outside of Africa and has a more open mind! Meeting Eritreas and Ethiopians in the Middle East was eye opening for me as a Black American. The most surprising thing was after their own they put whyte people on pedestal! Wish the best for you 2!!
Really sad state of affairs
Exactly, i have seen many of them worshiping a painting of whyte Jesus, i won't go into details but that explains everything.
@@ronniewamala5768 nothing to do with that,,because the Italians sponsors the churches and use a white Jesus, but go to lalabella churches.
Very sad indeed. The Etrean guy I dated was saying the same thing about how they think white is better than black
Ethiopia Are super racist due to their religious upbringing
So far, two diasporans Habeshas were trying to date me, southern African man, wasn´t really interested due to circumstaces, both attractive. I tried to date an Ethio woman fresh from Addis. It was an Ethio party, she thought I was Habesha (her friends were from Eritrea), once she learnt I´m continental African, she dropped me like hot potatoes. Fast forward, she learnt form her friend that I run a business and she was suddenly friendly and smiling. Moral of the story?
And by the way, for me East, West, Southern African women are equally attractive on their own right. The hype about Habesha women is just a colorism and whiteness colonial mentality. How I know? Mixed women (black and white) like considered within and outside the african/black community as "attractive", just like dark skinned Habeshas are considered less attractive then their light skinned counterpart. In short, black ppl, not just habeshas, we are in trouble. Love yourself.
Lastly, Bantus like Kish, are actually from Sudan (Nubia) and the Gnome of Ethiopians has been found similarly in Southern Africa as well as in Senegal. Also Oromia language has clear Bantu phonetics, but that´s another story for another day...
Haha sorry for your experience
Man, its all disappointing to know a black country like Eritrea has a word for other Africans. And the African Union is headquartered in Ethiopia. I have Ethiopian friends who are very nice and kind and we have gone to shows , dinners at home together etc so hopefully this bad word is limited to Eritrea and not Ethiopia as well.
I am from Southern Africa like you, Zim to be exact living in the US and you are absolutely correct colonialism and slavery did a number on us. My girlfriend is from Colombia and we about to go home but even her Afro people in Colombia also suffer from the colorism issue and in fact there is a word for it about improving the race by marrying white folks. We should all be proud of who we are.
Yesssssss I have wondered before why they classified Cushitic languages like oromia as afro asian , cus they sound Bantus or African to me
Only semetic language like tigrigna in ethiopia is truly semetic 😂 the sounds and accents also haha
The money part, I've been hearing this alot sadly
@@rebbybam230 they don't sound similar
Sorrybut as an eritrean born and raised jackie cant represent eritreans cos she's a diaspora woman i cant guarantee if she deeply know our culture.so i cant buy whatever she's saying i believe we all are black and africans too even in eritrea we are not all fair skinned and speaking of choosing whites over black not truee .parents wish to marry eritrean one not europeans or africans she is soooo wrong there is no hierarchy of fair skin or darker skin .ans u dont know our culture and language properly ur hubby was telling uou the truth .😂😂😂😂😂.
Kish. Don’t speak for her. Let her only speak on herself. She does not speak on you. Respect that.
Guys, if you found eachother and want serously to be together and Master the Life, than Go ahead. But dont make it to a political or cultural big issue. Why always black Brothers complaining, that they have the feeling, that our Habesha people dont accept them? Why dont African Woman complain Not to get us handsome Habesha man? It is always the man, who a complaining, because they just want to have fun with our Habesha women. Just few of them like this dud is really for life. Therefore I wish you all the best both of you. God bless you🙏🏾✝️
Im black from the Caribbean and im married to an Ethiopian.
You and your love one look alike:-)
She’s beautiful
Thanks

Thanks...
The fact that even one Kenya tribe (the biggest one) thinks superior to the others is a fact of reality about tribe and cultures. So Eritrean thoughts are not more not less about culture, conservancy and mindset and how to approach things. We have Orthodox Christianity mind set. Our culture and heritage come from there. This makes Eritrea or Ethiopia different from the rest of africa.
hapa Kish you got a good lady thats also knowledgeable n her beauty is a +. Stick to her n I believe more n more blessings will follow!
amen
You are both beautiful ❤🎉
Blessings from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Thank you ❤️
She looks Rwandese. Which shows that some of the Rwandese may have origins in the Horn of Africa. Very beautiful. As Africans, we are sensitive to racism, but we still have such issues within ourselves. We discriminate others. Colorism is real too. Growing up, I was called a Luo (Nilotic group) for being darker than all my peers. Even my relatives called me Omwafrika (African)! Interestingly, in university, I started aligning myself with Nilotes (Kalenjins and Luos), phenotypically and linguistically I could fit in. Studying intercultural communication, I learnt that discrimination, racism, etc are actually responses which try to protect a group from the "fear of the unknown." It might be a survival instinct.
@Kish have you gone back to kenya since you relocated to sweden? have you noticed how everything looks now extremely dirty and disorganized when you land back home?
Yeah I noticed actually. It’s sad
Excuse me, habesha women not only date but also marry black men because as Kenyan, Kikuyu man, I am happily married to a beautiful if not beautifullest Amhara wife and never in my entire interaction with her family or other Ethiopians have I experienced an iota of discrimination or racist attitude from them. In fact, its quite the opposite. We have three beautiful children. I think you are referring to the Habeshas of the 1950s or before that.
Good for you fam
Are you rich? Or did they grow up outside their culture?
It's really sad to see Africa so divided.....even in this modern time
It's hard for them to date other black people. Let's be honest, Kish. They don't have a problem dating and marrying white people.
I like Ethiopians and Eritreans. I'm not interested in dating them.
I appreciate your girlfriends honesty. I have lived closely with them. I know their mentality. It doesn't both me. It is what it is.
Many of them see themselves as Semitic people. I respect people and their beliefs.
Your girlfriend is so smart. You are a lucky man.

That truly defination of lack of education and ignorance.
It’s the culture issue with the habeshas people. They are too stingy attached with culture and comfort to stay with in their communities . And also luck of exposure to others specially in communication there is a big barrier.
Hello Swedish born women 🇸🇪

African christans they dont know habashas history but we black musilums we know it,prophet majamed mention thier name during conquest of mecca he said dont look down at people because of their dark skin even that person is Abyssianian Abyssianian
As someone who is half Ethiopian and half Somali, I can confirm that many people are unaware that Ethiopia second Christian nation in the world, after Armenia, Ethiopia has practiced Orthodox Oriental Christianity in its pure form.
Orthodoxy represents a profound level of spirituality. A special shout-out to the Coptic Christians in Egypt, as well as our Greek, Russian, and Eastern Orthodox brethren that has experienced persecution in all of Middle East and North Africa for 1400 years
Muhammad, who is obviously theologoically irrelevant to us, was a warlord with an insane track record of cruelty. Regardless of how one views it, even an atheist can see the comparison between Muhammad and Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and quickly conclude who is the eternal role model for humanity

Man this is sad and disappointing to hear that Eritreans have a bad word that references other black people. I have had friends here in the US who are Ethiopian and have invited me ot their houses. I am Zimbabwean and know a few guys who went to Ethiopia to be pilots and engineers and married Ethiopian women.
However , I should also say of all the Ethipoians i have known i do not remember any that was married to a white person. People are just complicated but kudos to this girl for speaking her truth. I also just thought I have a Sudanese friend here in the US and his other Sudanese friend is married to an Ethiopian woman. For me, for all other Africans i have know South Sudanese are some of the most solid Africans to be friends with.
I do not understand how we black people tolerate this colorism nonsense but are agains white racism. The only other observation I have is that Ethiopians are very religious and go to church every weekend so if you were to marry them then there is a lot of differences that have to be ironed out. It is good to have these conversations.
Colorism!, they think they're better than other Africans.
They married to black men mostly from the usa because they feel they're well taken care financially, the phillipinos do the same even though the hate on black people, they just know what they want,do u think they would marry a hotel worker from Africa or another country that's not rich
If ethiopians or erithreans dont marry black men,where is the problem?People who see it as a problem have very low self worth.People are not obliged to like you,and it is normal.If ethiopian women prefer white men ,that is their choice and there is nothing wrong with it.There are plenty other women in africa.There are also plenty black men who will never ever consider marrying an ethiopian woman.
@@alan.imangue It is pretty obvious you lack basic English comprehension skills and i cannot help you with that. I have no issue with who someone dates or does not date. I have travelled all over the world and I have never been to Ethiopia or wanted to date an Ethiopian woman.
I have Ethiopian friends that are high level professionals here in the US. The girl in the video clearly said Eritreans maybe not all have a word they use for "Africans" in her own words which means they or a significant number of them see themselves as different from other Sub Saharan black people. I do not care if any Ethiopian or Eritrean seems themselves as not black but why create a word that is derogatory against other Africans. In my experience the person who seeks advantage or superiority over another is the one that lacks self esteem. I have never met a Nigerian, or fellow Zimbabwean or other black Africans who lacked self esteem so your assertion is baseless.
For your information, regular African folks go about their daily lives with no care about what goes on outside their own country so really could care less what an Eritrean thinks about them. This guy brought the subject up so everything else is just opinions and not a fighting match.
@@alan.imangue I don't care who marry who,it's just facts I am putting out there,u can't hate people because of their color u say bad things about them but u will marry their money,and stoop to their black low level,her choice is white but will take black for what she wants
I think the cultural thing even we don’t date much with Ethiopian because most of the people thing the culture will disappear.
Happy for you both
Intermarriage between Tigrinya speaking people like the Eritreans and Tigray people and rest of Ethiopia has stumbling blocks.The Kikuyus came from congo and a smaller branch came from Ethiopia.It helps explain why some kikuyu,s have hair textured according to Ethiopia.Remember Fidel son of Odinga, married an Eritrean.
Kikuyu and hair texture you are lying 😅
No it’s true. My hair is very soft actually and that why I always have problems with my dreads
Ethiopians think they're white, don't mind them. I'm glad you found each other.
Thanks…
Yes true,they think they are Asians
😂😂😂😂
What a lie! Our history doesn’t show that. Listen to the speech of king Haileselassie or emperor Menelik. They were proud Africans. Why did Aste Menelik mobilise Ethiopians to fight against Italian colonialists? Why were ANC fighters trained in Ethiopia during apartheid? Ethiopian leaders played great role in the fight against colonial powers.
The conscious ones are aware. You also have the Oromo, Tigray and other splinter ethnic groups in Ethiopia. The same phenotype can be found in Eastern Africa like Rwanda.
Its about the children .when it comes to divorce its difficult.
As somali we are all black but different cultures.
I went to boarding school in kenya and i was always seen as different .you push people a way and then you tell them you are racist.
Up to now there are kenyans who believe somalis are not part of them.???

You are young lovely couple.i have a daughter who looks like her.
Bless you
Hi Kish to you and Jackie blessing 🇬🇧🇯🇲♥️💯🙏
Hey and thanks…
❤❤❤❤God bless both of you 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💖
Somalians are also closer if not the same as Ethiopians and Eritreans as well. I also think North Africans, Middle Easteners and Arabs are in your radar as well before you leap for Caucasians. Lol.
Cushitic people look the same everywhere.
Noooooo Somali looks different to habesha, habesha more beautiful

I don’t think she is full eritrean maybe her mother is Eritrean, because she has very thick lips. Moreover, she spoke about her mother only? How about her father he should be not eritrean. Eritrean man don’t let her date outside her race. The reason is not racism. Eritreans are conservative they don’t allow interracial marriage with someone who has different religion, culture and language.
What if she has grown sick of that religion
Both my parents are from Eritrea
She is not Eritrean look at her name we don’t have a name like her fr fr
@@jacquelinemill😂😂😂😂 liar we don’t even have a name like urs
Even us the south Sudanese its rare to date outside just with the same ideology.
I’ve found SS to be abit different. I had a girls from there and we were good and also the family was okay
That’s wonderful
The East Africa region has one of the most diverse Black genetic pool in the continent ranging from Niger-Congo Bantu , Nilotic, Nilo-Saharan, Nilo-Cushitic and Cushitic .
Some Banyarwanda completed their DNA analysis and determined predominant Niger-Congo Bantu DNA previously associated with Banyarwanda hutu and variations of Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan/Nilo-Cushitic DNA previously associated with the Banyarwanda tutsi and similar to Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan variations found among the Oromo of Ethiopia and the Maasai of Kenya, Tanzania .
Present day Banyarwanda are admixture of Niger-Congo Bantu and Nilotic/Nilo-Saharan DNA .
The height variation among some Banyarwanda derived from Nilotic extraction .
Sudanic Nilotics like the Sudanic Nuer, Luo and Dinka the tallest groups in the planet while Congo Bantu Pygmie the shortest . The continent is the most diverse genetically and Black America represent this spectrum of diversity because of complete admixture of multiple groups .
I have never heard of Nilo-cushitic people.
@@mubatsievonne4649 Lots of people have never heard of lots of things . DNA is complex .
@@mubatsievonne4649Maasai , samburu and also some kalenjin tribes have cushitic blood
I think Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalians are more affiliated to Arabs, and that’s why they have that mindset. Just my opinion. Having said that to each is own, you’re attracted to who you’re attracted too.
For me strangely they are the ones who approached n I'm kikuyu.we claim to have come from aksium(Hakumu) in Ethiopia, Habashi,habesha,(ubaci) in Kikuyu songs of ancestral remembrance.so let jaqui know you are habesha like her.greet her✋
Hello kish toppa da morning 🙏 ❤
Sorry Kish to say so I have interacted with many Ethiopians or Eritreans n they are racist mostly Ethiopians.They don’t think they r Africans which I think they r not!Ibthink they r Arabs but stand to be collected.Also ladies think they r beutiful more than others which is a big lie coz we have eyes n we know what beauty means?
That is why thier Govt gets away with treating them so bad because of they know that they have isolated themselves from other Africans. Any African in their right mind can not stand up for them. When they learn to see themselves as Africans and love other Africans and stop calling us names then they will be free from mental slavery from the white man
They are Africans 💯
Yes indeed very delusional types
The funniest parts is that they are been used as sexual toys by Arab men. They prefer been sex slave to Arabs than date a blackman,very myopic and unexposed with sense superiority reeks of vacuity.
The last thing you can tell to an Ethiopian is to associate them with Arabs. Nope 👎🏼 proud African. If you’re talking about Muslim Ethiopians yes they love to say they’ve Arab in them. The Christians doesn’t like Arabs in the past Arabs have committed genocide against Ethiopian Christian’s. Read about : Grang Mohammed he murdered many Christians and some converted:(
You always make things about racism or color, but in reality, no Eritrean or Ethiopian wants their children to marry outside their culture, even with whites(noting special about them). It's not about hate. I've been to many places outside Africa, and it's the same everywhere.
One of the reason why they don't do that is because the don't speak a common language with other countries like English and lack of exposure. Otherwise,nothing special about them.
Okay…
I'm half Ethiopian and half Somali, born and raised in Oslo, Norway. That's not one of the reasons though..
It's not about language barrier. It's because they don't want to mix their mixed dna with pure african dna
@@kish_myworldwhen you say they don't date other their race, what do you mean by race. You mean ethnicity because they look black to me
No bro its not language they dont like outside fro. Thier race
IDK as a African American i have friends who are married to Ethiopians and Somalians as well as relatives I have not heard of this ever being an issue from any East African family or friends maybe because they are educated IDK it seems weird
How naive are you? What do you mean by educated? You don’t have any culture, ethics and moral understanding because you are educated? We want the science and technology of the western world only. We don’t want the disgusting AA, WA and western world culture.
Am a Kenyan and the Habeshas are our neighbours. The video is all true.
She so humble take care of our in law
It is because of cultural differences
Kish is a Kikuyu some Kikuyu came from Ethiopia thats why they resembles ...We have some Kikuyus who are brown than Ethiopians but we always align ourselves with black people...though East african don't like inter marring with other africans.
I'm half Somali (Ajuraan Kenyan) and half Oromo (Borana, with some minor assimilated Amharas).
After traveling back and forth to East Africa over the past five years, and delving into this rabbit hole with my Rwandan and Kenyan friends, I've learned about the old Savannah Nilotic pastoral culture that existed from Egypt as far south as modern-day Zimbabwe. These pastoral people were a mix of non-Africans and non-Arabs, but Eurasian people from the Levant who mixed with a proto-Nilotic sub-Saharan population group in the Horn of Africa, which then gave birth to the Cushites.
You can see elements of these features, DNA ancestry, and rituals, like drinking cow blood and circumcision, across all of East Africa. Maasais and Samburus are on average 40% Cushitic and 60% Nilotic. The same goes for the Datooga, and Samburus can even have higher Cushitic admixture.
Beja, Somalis, Sidama, Oromo, Amhara, Tigray, Saho, Afar, and Gabbra all originated from the same ancient Savannah Nilotic pastoral people that roamed all of East Africa with their cattle. The powerful Hima and Tutsi of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Eastern DRC are on average 70% Cushitic, and most likely experienced a language shift when they assimilated into the agricultural Bantu expansion waves from Central and West Africa.
If you want to see the last remnants of these people before they are totally absorbed and go extinct, visit the Iraqw people in Tanzania, the last remaining Southern Cushites.
Check out Sage Nomad for scientific sources about the origin of the Tutsi Hima and the connection to Ethipian and Somali people.
Also, I forgot to add that the Kikuyu have absorbed some of these extinct Southern Cushite people. However, from my understanding, this absorption was not direct but occurred through some intermixing with the Maasai.
@@nassergabriel4778understood bro very well explained.
I am born and grown-up in Ethiopia, i do not think this way
Do you guys wanna live in sweden for the rest of your lifes? i don't understand why any black person wants to live outside Africa personally i was born in europe so im kinda of stuck here for now but im not going to live here forever im going leave and come back to the mother land.
Keep that dream alive till you make it a reality.
Everyone has their preferences. For us we live the life quality in Sweden and how the systems work so seamlessly. Africa we will definitely visit a lot but living there nope
@@kish_myworldrudi nyumbani and leave that mentality😢
Kish honestly speaking this ain’t a video that should be released you are putting a negative light on Ethiopians I can’t speak for Eritreans. As for Ethiopians they are many different tribes and everyone since the beginning of our history stuck to thier tribe and language to continue culture. It’s got nothing to do with Colour I’m not sure why Africans project this about us even though there’s no evidence it’s just prejudices that people push about us that everyone else has aswell which is really unfair specially considering our history. Eritreans have been colonised and mental are different,
Kish did well, people need to talk about this. It's not good to pretend the truth is the truth. I have experienced this and so many other Africans. Your people are always calling other Africans black and hurling insults it's very bad
The reason we need to talk about such sensitive issues is to bring awareness about them. Not to shame anyone but shed light on the issue. No bad intentions here James

Black America are admixture of several groups in the continent of Africa .
The borders in the continent are artificial and therefore groups occupy several territories .
Like the Oromo of Ethiopia and Kenya, the Somali are predominantly Cushitic and occupy Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti .
The Maasai are Nilotic with variations of Nilo-Saharan/Nilo-Cushitc due to their migratory patterns and occupy Kenya, Tanzania . The Ewe of Benin ,Ghana, Togo .
Like the Nilotic Luo of Kenya(Obama,Lupita),Luo of Uganda( Luo-Langi like President Miton Obote, Army Chief Gen David Oyite Ojok, Luo-Acholi like President Gen Tito Okello, Army Commander Gen Bazilio Olara Okello, LRA rebels against Yoweri Museveni JOSEPH KONY, Okot Odhiambo, WOMAN KING ACTOR SHEILA ATIM),Luo of Tanzania ,DRC Congo, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Luo of Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea .
Luo in Aegan and Abu Simbel region on the border of Sudan and Egypt .
The Waswahili of Kenya, Zanzibar(President Sheikh Abeid Karume),Pemba, Lamu, Pate,Tanganyika, Mozambique, Madagascar/Malagasy and Southern Somalia .
The Nilo-Sahelian Fulani of Nigeria(President Muhammadu Buhari), Senegal, Cameroon, Chad, Central Africa republic, Chad, Mali, Gambia .
The Shona of Zimbabwe(President Robert Mugabe), Mozambique, Kenya, Southern Africa territories . etc .

Thank you so much
We have oromia speaking people in kenya like the Borana,Rendile and Gabra.They are called Oromo.
How many r they in population
Wait, so Ethiopians are not melanated?! i thought they were. They may have a bit of mix in them just like somalians but i thought they were predominantly melanated.
They definitely are
Not just Ethiopia. In some countries tribalism is worse than racism. Think Rwanda 1994. But beside this extreme case, there are tribes in Africa that cannot intermarry. I am in the west and have been to asia, it was easier to date a white person here and 1000 times easier to date an Asian in Asia than it was with local women of a different tribe. Legit.😂😂
Ethiopia has been a closed country very ancient religion and culture. Never been colonized not so much interaction with other nations. The fear developed from Italian invasion also created foreigners being dangerous cannot be trusted. To preserve culture and continuation of society you have to preserve religion and culture. Often Europeans have tried to divide the country by bringing their own religion and culture that have been experienced in other African countries it started to happen in Ethiopia. It’s still a well known fact as prosperity gospel has spread in Ethiopia taking advantage of the poor to leave their original orthodox religion and join Pentecostal religion with the help of a lots of NGO’s:( divide and conquer
