  • haha, my parents always tells me that every habesh i met is my cousin or something like that xD i showed this to her and she was like... nonono :p

  • fuck out of here faggots

  • LMFAO so Trueeee

  • haha true! i live in europe and every habesha i meet is my cousin,aunt,uncle...

  • sooo true man

  • you started with a loaded statement, 'i want to talk about why habesha's dont date each other"

    It seems to suggest that is well established fact when infact you are just speaking from experience. be more accurate and your theory sucks as to why habesha's dont date other habesha. Here is a better one: habesha's that grew up here are part of the larger American community and as a tiny fraction of America, they are more apt to end up with other Americans.

  • Here's my question. What if your habesha and your muslum? Don't the muslums marry their cousins? Haha, talk about a win win situation!

  • @MrBe6434 ur confusing islam the Religion and Arab culture though they can go hand in hand sometimes. marrying cousin is primarily a middle east culture. I dont think Islam prescribes it to its followers but nor does it ban it. Ethiopian muslims dont engage in that. now you know.

  • omg this is like 100% accurate...

  • transitions from one country like the U.S/Europa, make dating hard, 2nd protestantism is the #1 (DIVIDER)destroyer of A.A. communities,therefore it has detructive/DIVISIVE effects on habesha.Selamta~

  • maybe when you're in middle school, but by the time you reach highschool and graduate, habesha men hormones are so strong,and habesha women are soo beautiful, that we'd bang our own cousins!LOL!but90%of usknow we not with our cousins!this group only represents a 0.001%dynamic in the habesha community!it's a funny thought!lol

  • So true....

  • Wtf is habesha it's not a county right

  • @THEONETHEONLYEM21 it's an ethnic group.

  • U look familiar...Did u go to Rainer Beach?

  • merry your cousin then

  • hey who cares, some Culture marry their sisters. i think!

  • aaaaah i wouldn't say that. Some ppl don't know their family and end up dating someone who IS their cousin. so sad. I heard about that almost happening to someone i knew once lol. and for me, I just always asked my parents who I was and wasn't related to. check and done!

  • So true!

  • so true!!! :)lololol

    

  • i'm so confused why people took this video to be offensive?? everybody needs to take a deep breathe...do some yoga or something ! lolol! anyway...haha..my mom always does this, good PSA!!

  • I'm habesha. You're habesha. I didn't grow up with you. Lessssggoooo bbrroooo (; you're cuutte .

  • haha...you preachin to the choir...nice PSA

  • Thats so funny my parents did the same thing, now i am married to a german so are all my brothers and sisters :)

  • thee bitchhhh issss sooooooo annoying!!!!

  • @28adrianpeterson that's so true man

  • cool, so when are those shirts coming out?

  • WoW watch out for that four head

  • @aceone1988 , you spelled forehead wrong

  • This is so true...

  • Where the tshirt at Mehret ??! Loool i really want one ;)

  • Can you people explain wich people are habesha. Are Ethiopians and Eritreans the only ones?

  • @crosbyluvya As you are completely out of the topic i would suggest that you google it your self.

  • @UniversalStar2000 Yes maybe i should.

  • My actual cousins and I always have this discussion, and I totally agree with you guys. It makes relationships awkward. Nice video :)

  • Im not sure if its true i mean in Addis most of us know who's our reall family's are i mean i went in a schoole with 50 kids if somebody try to tell me we all related by blod how am i going to believe that

  • @qonjoooo You missed the context my friend. I am talking about habesha's abroad in the US and Europe. Back home there is no need or incentive for parents to tell you that because family ties are strong. Abroad "family" can be a simple connection based on being from the same village, town or area.

  • @lullmen I totally agree with u!! i was born and raised in Europe I don't feel like dating habesha's whom I grew up with, although i must admit i am attracted some of them, coz my parents just like ur parents told that i'm related to the other kids i grew up with&now that I am a fully grown adult, i can not see my self dating any of those i grew with even through i know they are not related to me &guess what? my parents complain why i am not dating habesha? where is their common sense?

  • Comment removed

  • @lullmen i think as long as you know where to draw the line. i`m from London and got a lot of cousins both here and back in Addis. but i doubt that all of them are directly related to me, but like you said there is a strong family tie in Addis and everyone close to the family is also regarded as a relative. but i guess its difficult to draw the line.

  • @lullmen Come on, how many times were you told that the person is your cousin??? once...twice.....may be 3X.....okay may be you are told that many times but we all have common sens(you must be atleast a teenager to check out the ladies that you should be able to utilize your common sense)...you can't have that many cousins right??? anyways the whole point is to protect you from paying the child support!!!!!!!

  • ummm habesha dsnt refer to only tigrayans btw but true

  • oh shut the fuck up,

    try to dstroy our culture . you fake ass habeshas !

  • @kiduscash you spelled destroy wrong.

  • lol im so late for this video but that is sooooooooooooo like sooooo true. apparently every habesha that is my age is my cuz and the older ones are my uncles.

  • what y'all talkin about? I've banged half of the Y.P.F.D.J.

  • wowi like you))

  • @AssefaLiza Thank you my friend.

  • too true, i have no idea whos my real cousin and whos not -_-

  • lol!.. that is so true!.. i swear i am "related" to every single habesha!.. wow!.. :)

  • So true.

  • OMG your teeth are amazing.

  • @YoShitAintRockin Thank you my dear.

  • omg this is sooo true....lookiing back like every habesha kid I'd meet and was friends of the family was my "cousin" LMAO this might be part of why I have never dated habesha guy.

  • Random question but do Habesha date other african women or african american woman?

  • @beautifulegyptian20 I personally don't have an ethnic preference. An attractive girl is an attractive girl.

  • Haha! Sooo true!

  • This is very true, good on you for bring up the topic.

  • So true. Now I can't look at those supposed cuzins that way. It's all wack dude. New habasha gen may change.

  • AAAAGH SO MUCH WIN IN THOSE 2 COMMENTS, I JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT....!!! Dx

  • Ayee, Im Habeshaa, from Eritreaa! 

  • and yet they turn around and pester you about marrying another Ethiopian. I wish someone would have given my mom this advice in '87

  • Hahaha:) Very true!! imagin upto nw,wheneva i see any habesha 'the cousin thing feelings' comes up to ma mind!!...

  • damn that is true. Don't really make u wanna date ur people. Guess that why.lol

  • fuck off 

  • @emaades ah let me help you out a bit. You wrote "fuck off" but I am sure you meant "fuck you." "Fuck off would indicate that I was in fact bothering you or forcing you to watch the above video. "Fuck you" would be a more appropriate insult that can be used toward something that you actively sought out. For example, if you were to respond back to this you could now write "fuck off" as I have wrote a response to you that you more then likely could do without.

  • @lullmen fuck off man! as for cousin she hottttt damn shame she is tigray( enemy of habesha) oh yaaaaaaaaa don't feel all almighty u went to UW not Harvard:))))))))))BIATCH!

  • @hppaviliontac thank you for positive and engaging comment. I especially love your usage of the word "hottttt" which obviously is a lot of hot, like hot to the 4th power hot. Your spelling of the word "BIATCH" is also creative and almost thug life worthy but of course we all know real thugs don't write comments on youtube, they are too busy IN THESE STREETS SON. Lastly, you are right I didn't go to Harvard for undergraduate or my masters degree and for that I am truly a failure in life.

  • @hppaviliontac why would you say its a shame she's from tigray? politically yes tigray/ethiopia is the enemy but we are they same people, you even speak the same language as the tigrays. i dont understand people like you:/ #issues

  • @lullmen

    My Nephew & Niece living in America visited their Grandmother in Eritrea.

    The PROUD GRANDMOTHER showing of her grandchildren ALL OVER Eritrea, telling her "AMERICAN" GRANDCHILDREN, that's your uncle, that's your auntie,,,

    FINALLY, Her grandchildren asked,

    "GRANDMA, HOW CAN THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS OUR UNCLES & AUNTIES"?

    Their Grandmother said YES, THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS YOUR UNCLES & YOUR AUNTIES, because you belong her.

    My point, Parents believe "BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER, FLY TOGETHER".

  • haaha lol

  • Comment removed

  • AND ERITREANS FEMALES IN LONDON ARE EASILY MANUPLATED . THROUGH RELIGION, MONEY (WE HAVE "SOME" ERI/ETHIO GOLD DIGGERS HERE), PEER PRESSURE FROM FRIENDS AS I HAVE SEEN QUITE A LOT WITH A PATWA ACCENT (JAMAICAN) OR ATTEMPTING ONE.

  • @MrStonedprunes I agree! There isnt anything out there in London such as a youth-club, sports event, social gathering where eris' or ethios' can interact. As a result most of eri guys and girls go their own way and completeley lose their habesha mentality and get caught with the so called "road life". All am saying is eritreans are slowly disappearing especially my generation as I've seen many dating Hibeys non-habesha which is scary. Got any ideas to save our "shukorinatat" from these baryas?

  • hahaha thats so true bro.. i have like a billion cousins by that calculation! never dated a habesha as a result

  • lol .. so true!

  • i feel ya man...

  • ikr that how my parents r ikr but u guys r funny n i'm habesha 2

  • hey leul... your HOTTT!!!!

  • lol this is soo true

  • Everything you guys said is so true. I always talk about this stuff with my cousins and like you said everytime I see a cute habesha guy I'm like ...hey mom are we related?? lol and mehret i love your accent lol. Proud to be habesha!

  • so are you ethiopian or Eritrean !?

  • dude u have the nicest smile ever. so cute :)

  • @TheAwasa Thank you! Very kind of you.

  • MMM ok i think that habesha in london are different we dont really have a strong sense of community or it coud be me.

    the two others were annoyinggg ....

  • i bet you have so much bills to be paid worth than filming a bullshiiittttt....

  • ok the guy... leul is finnneee

  • @ItzHaileyBaYbee why thank you my dear ;)

  • @lullmen Any time :)

  • Hi Lull

    Love seeing you here on the you......

    Susan Coffey..Paul's mom :)

  • lol true

  • This is sooo funny, im subbing!!

  • But the cousin thing also does work though...in making us closer. Cause it jump-starts the relationship. But they do it in Eritrea too. And especially if that keeps happening you just automatically jump-start that with other Eritreans.

    Wait I just remembered, my mom's frame of reference is growing up in Ethiopia.

  • @Meezletoe So maybe its just when you're in another country. So immigrant communities.

    I don't think so though cause she said usually they usually marry from other villages. But maybe its just the Westermark effect but slightly encouraged by parents accidentally.

    K I'll stop commenting now xD

  • Comment removed

  • Also after like every Eritrean family you meet is related to you, you feel like they literally are all, subconsciously. So its like eritrean becomes synonymous with cousin xD. So you're not just gonna hit on some random eritrean, for all you know they could be your cuz or second cuz xD since its like everyones related. On top of that, it seems to be a theme in some tragic dramas or eritrean movies o_o Marrying a half-sibling cause u didn't know. I've seen 3 like that w/horrible sad endings ;_;

  • In California everyone knows everyone and California is more urban in that its easier to socialize &you meet a bunch of people all the time. Arizona is all sprawled out and some cities maybe there's like 1 habesha family there and you'll hardly ever see them. BUT YEAH YOUR THEORY IS SPOT ON. Cause my mom said usually back home you'd marry someone from another neighborhood cause everyone in yours was 'related' to you &you couldn't see them that way. So it works there but not here. xD Cause yeah.

  • @Meezletoe aah ok I meant you meet people all the time in Cali but when you're younger and then it slows, but while you're meeting them you're being introduced as cousins. In Arizona its like randomly you'll meet someone, and half the time its at a party. Its harder to connect and maybe also cause of that you'll value it more too and WANT to connect cause I notice they have more eri-pride in a way &they get excited about it. So geography/u.s. culture somehow plays a big deal in it surprisingly.

  • In Phoenix the teens all date each other. It was a shock coming from Cali where they're like 'ew no...I'm black, lol, SEVEN OH SEVEN WOOOO!!'

    Also the kids in PHX are a lot more goofy and laid back in their own way than Cali. Politically thought the sichieyshon I hear is more intense.

    But maybe its cause a bunch of newbies were moving to PHX too....migration to arizona. I don't really know.

  • men u are right i have like 1000 cousin's wow

  • u have an amazing teeth lol :)

  • Dude I have habesha roots So i guess im part..and luckly i didnt hear that from my parents..

  • whats wrong with dating your cousin

  • yea this is so true ..

  • lolz u guys are funny that is new experience !! My dad used to tell me “u will get there when u grow up n stuff and work hard towards it” but, cousin' lolz that's one hella funny thing I’ve ever heard of. Can u imagine, right if I goes to my dad “that gal is cute” n he goes to me she is ur cousin. I would've said to him wow great that make me even closer!! Let alone do back up and ignore it. Funny!!

  • Comment removed

  • yup

  • lol, I agree with the cousin thing, my dads side of the family is Eritrean and my mom is just African american. :/ So I'm in between. Im from Seattle too but most of the habesha people I see strictly date other habesha. Not all but most it seems.

  • funny, all abesha's are related so date white chick

  • Mehrit..u r a cutie pie...where ya'll from

  • @WEDIBESHIER Seattle Washington.

  • Comment removed

  • tameryalesh ;-)

    sad but true, i am so scared to date an ethiopian guy

  • hah love this.(so true)

  • Preach!

  • I think every immigrant community does that in the US.

  • lol true talk. I've got so many cousins that I could pass for a Chinese.

  • That is so true. My dad be telling me everyone is my cousin.

  • lmao this is so true! If I had a penny every-time my mom told me "this is your cousin" I would be a rich-ass woman by nowl!!! Thanks for making this video, funny how all Habesha parents seem to have common parenting. Love them :)

  • @skenod Habesha means Ethiopian/Eritrean or mainly just east African.

  • LOL! even people in the black american community do the same thing. its called "play cousins", usually happens between people who are friends and their children play together. they tell them they are cousins, and stay loyal to that idea....LOL

  • aww ur cute!! lol but u have an accent [habesha accent] haha

  • @crazy4corbinbleux Thanks......I think? haha

  • @crazy4corbinbleux soooo what is wrong with his accent ? he is so cooool

  • @ymhwb Thanks for having my back! haha

  • so true!!

  • UR cuteeee.. ( one in the middle!) ;)

  • @tigraweyti I wont disagree with you :) Thanks!

  • Same thing with somalis lol

  • haha! this is very true and funny

  • not just the US!!! Canada has fallen victim to this tragedy!

  • @PhillyTheScrummie I think the correlation goes, the smaller the community outside of the US the stronger the ties within the community. Hence, more cousin calling.

  • This is the first time I am hearing about "being cousins" as a reason and its not the reason. The truth is, Habeshas do not always say what they are mean, partly because of pride and partly because they think the other person is stupid. Maybe your next book should be about that...keep it up and good videos.

  • @ponder2006 Thanks! Every culture seems to have its own stigmas and challenges. We are such a close-nit group of people that it does backfire. I might have to write a book about habesha's dating. haha

  • LMAO! I find it so interesting when I learn that no matter how distant us first generations are, ALL of our life lessons and experiences are ONE! Smh. I have 50-11 cousins, and only 20 are blood. I'll put it like this, 95% of Ethie women range from cute to gorgeous, 5% are simply off. And the opposite goes for the men---95% are just off, and 5 % are pretty damn sexy... and of those 5% I'm related to 3%... slim pickings. Smh. Kudos to your rant.

  • @Dureye I went to a family reunion in august only to find out my great grandfather had over 29 kids.........that we know about! "5% are simply off" had me cracking up.

  • If you move to deep south USA , you fit in with the bunch of inbreds.

  • Soooo true!  smh lol

  • I totally agree, I've been saying this for the longest haha But I must admit, growing up, it was easier for me to say that an habesha friend was my cousin to non-habesha friends because I didn't see them as a friend, but as a cousin. Thank you habesha parents!

  • i never really thought of it this way, but maybe there is some truth to this.

  • thannnnnnk you bro,at least there is someone who share the same thought as i. you ppl r genius

  • that is so true

  • lmao i know how u feel =)

    wouldnt really want to date my "cuzin".

    once that is established ..there is no turning back lol

  • Inbred, I knew it. Thats why your forehead is so big Lull.

  • @trill5thefif Yes! You now know our secret.

  • @trill5thefif Lull does have a big forehead

  • too funny! you know, us tongans got the same problem too. most of us swear that we think were all related to each other, and as a result just date other people.

  • @williamkava yeah, I need to find the sociology term for this cousin theory. 

  • I'm tired of dating my cousins!...lol...ok, not really, but still

  • @yhoni Hilarious
