GALLA was never a degrading tearm, if you look the map of abyssinia the oromo land was called GALLA LAND now you can't say its the Abyssinians that made the flag and named the land what it was named. Galla was the true name for Oromos but it because a degrading name later on by amhara and tigre and other groups and they (oromos) started hating the name. But truly galla is not suppose to be a degrading name.
@Abasss23 I don't know where you're getting this information from but before you blindly take someone's biased words (slave or not) you should do some research. The book is not a biography, meaning someone else wrote it, it is an AUTObiography meaning He Himself wrote it. And if you have not taken any time to even take a glimpse at it and cannot discuss it in a constructive light and all you're depending on is your pride as an Ethiopian and other people's heresay opinions, that is ignorance.
@iKNOKMUSIC Fist of all, his biography was written to make that old crow look good. I am Ethiopian I have spoke to people who were slaves and were subjugated to harsh rules. This man is a murderer and a thief to many Ethiopians including me.
For all who are misguided, especially to those of Ethiopian heritage whom have fallen short and demonized by the propaganda please purchase Haile Selassie's autobiography. You will find in full account His rightful Christian ways, blessed in the eyes of Igziabihir. You, Ethiopians, too, are subject to the devil in your lofty ideas and the lies you are fed. READ! STUDY! Don't just talk. Search on Amazon.com for Haile Selassie Autobiography.
@Abasss23 Have you read His Majesty's autobiography? Do you know the position of a slave during those times of Ethiopia? They had more entitlement than how you would compare it to old american slavery. His Majesty exercised many rights for the slaves through the newly established constitution and he was slowly transitioning from those old ways and giving those slaves righteous entitlement for when slavery would be abolished.Do not put a bad taste in His Majesty's title and explain the truth!
@happlyever1 listen I am Ethiopian myself and I know for a fact he use to own slaves. In fact he designated Oromo people as slaves, they were call "Galla".
@Amarawit "Lifless bastard" that is your best argument? waw plz go to school.
