Abyssinian People
The Wikipedia Encyclopedia Article “Abyssinian people” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinian_people), has so many inaccuracies. When writing the article, they have used many outdated and questionable sources written by White European German Anthropologists instead of people who grew up in that culture and society. The Habesha pan-ethnicity has many debatable definition but there is a consensus on some major things about the Habesha culture, heritage, and identity that this current Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abyssinian_people&oldid=864975221) completely misses. These new edits, specifically the “Related ethnic groups” section was changed from the original “Afar, Agaw, Beja, Beta Israel, Hadiya, Oromo, Saho, Sidama, Somali” (which are actually related by culture and partially by ancestry, and definitely by geography) to an erroneous decision to change the “Related ethnic groups” section to “Semitic peoples” which are only remotely related by similarities in language and contact for the purpose of trade (trade partnerships). The major accounts that made this new and devastating erroneous change were: 94.234.53.31(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/94.234.53.31, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:94.234.53.31), Turtlewong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Turtlewong, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Turtlewong, and Airplaneman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Airplaneman, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Airplaneman). I had contacted them in a civil and polite manner to inform them of their mistake but they blocked me from ever editing on Wikipedia ever again. The only Exceptions are the Beta Israel ethnic group that are real ethnic Jews with dark skin and African — Ethiopian/Eritrean/Habesha ancestrythat have lived in Ethiopia for centuries and intermarried into African families, (similar to how European Jews are ethnic Jews with light skin and European — East European/Russian/German/Polish/etc. ancestry that had intermarried into European families),; and the other exception are the Rashaida ethnic group who are descendants of (more) semi-recent Yemeni Arab Refugees who escaped persecution in the Arabian Peninsula (many of them were Deported to Yemen from Ethiopia, while there is still a small minorityin Eritrea). My last communication with them after they repeatedly blocked me from editing was this: “Abyssinian people are not or never were Semitic people, just because they speak a Semitic language does not mean that they are Semites. For example, the Frankish (French) people are actually Germanic people not Romance/Italic even though their language “French” is a Romance language. Another example are Jamaicans, Jamaicans speak English (Germanic language) but they’re not White European Germanic Anglo-Saxons. No Abyssinian person considers themselves as Semites, even in its most ultra-conservative definition. Amharas and Tigray-Tigrinyas the original Habesha (Abyssinian) — that took upon the Habesha identity — did not consider themselves in this way. People can debate if other Horn of Africa ethnic groups are considered Habesha but you cannot outright say a misleading statement stating that Habeshas (a.k.a. Abyssinians) are Semities, which is outright false.” They would not listen, but went on to silence me directly and indirectly silenced the Habesha community from telling their own story about their own culture and heritage.

== This is a good Academic Paper source for this page. ——- Eurocentrism and Ethiopian Historiography: Deconstructing Semitization (A Eurocentric interpretation of Ethiopian History led to the misconception of Horn of Africa people being of supposed 'Semitic origin') [by: Messay Kebede, University of Dayton; International Journal of Ethiopian Studies] ==

Here is the Abstract for the source —-

Eurocentrism and Ethiopian Historiography: Deconstructing Semitization (A Eurocentric interpretation of Ethiopian History led to the misconception of Horn of Africa people being of supposed Semitic origin)]: -- "A society cannot properly map out and accomplish its future if it mistakes its history for that of another society. Saddled with alien problems such a society is bound to stumble constantly. A case in point is Ethiopia: among the various factors that contributed to the present plight of Ethiopia, a false or borrowed reading of its history figures prominently. Focusing on the alleged Semitic origin of Aksumite civilization, this paper uncovers the manner the allegation structured the disparity between the north and the south to the point of ushering in the colonial interpretation of the southern expansion in addition to misconstruing the causes of Ethiopia’s socioeconomic '~retardation~' " (Messay Kebede) - Eurocentrism and Ethiopian Historiography: Deconstructing Semitization Author(s): Messay Kebede Source: International Journal of Ethiopian Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Summer/Fall 2003), pp. 1- 19 Published by: Tsehai Publishers Stable URL: https://www.jstor.org/stable/27828817 — Preceding unsigned comment added by RealHistory45 (talk • contribs) 04:54, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
