  • YEAH I AM NOT ETHIOPIAN AND I AM NOT RASTAFARIAN. But I recognize good leadership and character when I see it. He was better than any of the leaders that the country you so greatly enjoy living right now(US) ever allied themselves with. Ppl like you make me reinforce why my tax dollars should not go to Ethiopia.

  • This man did a great duty for all of the continent Ethiopia H.I.M is he

  • @mamush100

    Study your fucking history before talking stupid shit. that "OLD BASTARD" from what I saw was a good leader. Sure he made his mistakes, but down the road, from the young generations who are being enlightened and waking up to the realities of what your idiotic parents and commie socialist loving dimwitted politicians brainwashed you with has made you more ignorant as a grown dumb ass man.

  • @historytroy16 Secret socities that's existed since the 16 or 1700's still exist today. what i am saying that even though a blk man had him killed, he was not in it alone. powers that be will never tolerate a blk monarch especially at that time when haile had such a huge influence in ethiopia and the carribean. any sort of blk figure or organization that tried to bring up blks were targeted and destroyed. look up COINTELPRO

  • @bahanas301 ido not understand what you are saying

  • @historytroy16 And who do u think was at the top of the latter?

  • @bahanas301  no he was killed by some black dictator named mengistu mariam

  • The last living black royal monarch was killed by whites, so sad

  • Greetings, I am a Rasta living in England but have spent many years in Ethiopia and I wonder if it is possable to get you to come and give us a talk about our beloved Emporer Haille Selassie, I met many of the existing royal family whilst I was there, please respond, Blessings

  • Shimelis Desta thank you so much for saving our history.
