I think as a black american man married to an habisha woman I would be discriminated against if I moved to Ethiopia.

I wanted to open a business there but I am worried.

Any advice

why would you think that way? have you been to Eth. before? truly, it does not matter if you are black (African) American or white, or even habesha..., if you show any sign of you not being from there, people would wanna hustle you for what you got. Since you are married to a habesha woman, you should not be worried about being discriminated against. To be honest, even I, when i go back, get picked on by some. as i said, they try to hustle me, but i won't let them go far.

she`s ethiopian i dont think u should even have this in ur mind it wont matter what do u have the tplf to look for u ur just there to invest so think about it why would they ur helpin people by givin job opportunity

[Godsblack]

So I shouldnt learn Tegrinya? I dont want the TPLF giving me problems cause my wifes Gurage.

[henkipenki111]

maybe at the begening u will have problem if u dont know the tradition but as u are married to an ethiopian women people may take time to understand u but i dont think it`s something to worry that much if u find this kind of person it`s on u to make him understand where all brother`s

Beautiful video.

I disagree 100%. Ethiopians here and Ethios back home are totally different. I think you are basing it on your experience with habesha folks here. Back home money is truly king, they dont give a shit what color your. If you open a business there and give people jobs you will be well respected & loved.
