Frankly, the head of a government that is forcing through privitisation and is the tool of the IMF is in no poistion to talk about progressive politics. Mbeki is part of the problem, not the solution.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

I've only heard great things about Selassie... about his abolition of slavery, his modernizing of the ethiopian legal system, his internationalism and pro-globalization stances, etc. all while being supported by the US. isn't he considered a great hero among africans? i know most people leaning towards black nationalism love him."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Then stop hanging out with Rastas.

No, he's considered a butcher.
i know most people leaning towards black nationalism love him.
Mainly it's because he led the only independent Black African country during the age of colonialism. It has nothing to do with his actual rule, which was largely a disaster for Ethiopia.
Also remember that Black nationalists believe some strange ****. One of my coworkers tried to tell me Egypt was originally in South Africa. For Black nationalists, what matters is the color of the skin on the foot in the boot that's on your neck, not that there's a boot on your neck.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

but anyway, this is all news to me. are you just calling him a butcher cause he was somewhat right wing? or was he seriously a brutal dictator?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Know what's great about not being white? Being at the airport and hearing, 'Oh, we ain't checkin' all y'all white folk' and then getting your ass pulled over and getting the annual visit from Dr. Jellyfinger just a little too early, all because you had a barette in your hair.
Then Timothy McVeigh walks through security right after me. 'Go on through, all you white folk.'

Speer, yes, I'm saying he was a butcher just because he was somehwat right wing. The tens of thousands that were tortured and slaughtered had nothing to do with it.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
