An Extraordinary Account of the State of the World



Here is an extraordinary account of the state of the world in gumdrops, via The Thinking Housewife.

The full video is at the end of the post.

This rings really close to home. I was with family visitors from the US these last few days. Somewhere near the end, I said something very similar:
Ethiopia is going through some kind of renaissance. War and civil war has been averted; the "hardline" government isn't so hardline after all; people are "going back," some to visit, but many to see how they can participate in the Ethiopian-style renaissance; the traditional and ancient Orthodox Christianity, despite years of maligning by secular forces and governments, has survived and is stronger than ever.

Why not go back and be Ethiopians, instead of living as hyphenated immigrants in a country where multiculturalism has failed and all the various groups (Chinese, Indian, Ethiopian, Somali, Mexican) live separate, hyphenated, lives, and in fact mistrust one another.

At least in Ethiopia you can be Ethiopians! And not agonize over the "white racism" and "discrimination" and biases that are now part of daily language in any household of Ethiopian origin.

Go build (or more precisely rebuild) your country!
