  • All Africans have varying shades of melanin from very dark to light to albinos. There are some very dark Ethiopians but mainly due to discrimination you never see them in mainstream media

  • ኃይሌ ገሪማ ከማንም ይበልጥ ነጮቹን አብጠርጥሮ ያውቃቸዋል። ነገር ግን ኢንዱስትሪውን በተመለከተ አካሄዳቹ ዘረኛ ነው። ብሎ በሙሉ ልቡ ሲናገር ሲደመጥ በጣም ያኮራል። ነጮች ሃገር ከሄደ ገና ሶስት አመት ያልሞላው ነጮቹን ካልሆኩኝ ሞቼ እገኛለሁ ለሚለው ነጭ አፍቃሪ ትክክለኛ ትምህርት እና ምሳሌ ነው። አፍሪካውያን ላይ በፊልማቸው ውስጥ ደብቀው ያመጡብንን የእጅ አዙር ቀኝ አገዛዝ ፍንትው አድርጎ ለአለም ያገለጠ ጀግና ነው። አገሩን ወገኑን ታሪኩን ጠንቅቆ ስለሚያው ለሚናገው ነገር ቅንጣት ግራ መጋባት አይታይበትም። ወጣቱ ትውልድ እንደ ኃይሌ ገሪም በአለት ላይ ማንነቱን ቢገነባ ምሁሮቻችንን ስደት ባልፈጀብን። ትልቁ በልብ ውስጥ ሊቀመጥ የሚገባው ፍልስፍናቸው ማንም ሰው ራሱን ነው መሆን ያለበት… ራስን መሆን የማንነት መገለጫ ነው።

  • This is so true. It is so disappointing to see a movie that tells Mandela's story through the white prison guard point of view. Do we really need that? Actually ppl would learn more...if they saw the black Mandela's perspective. However, I am sure time will change. Thumbs up to Haile Gerima!!!!

  • "i live off the happiness of my childhood" wow.

  • i like it

  • Haile Gerima is Legend ! i was with him in Italy (Rome) 2004. i'm frome Ethiopia ( Langano) .
