Haile Selassie with a Italian Colonel. Picture taken 1941
>>18004157"I am a Caucasian." -Haile SelassieHe also owned hundreds of native Ethiopians, which is pretty hilarious when you consider how many Rastas look to him as literal Jesus and some sort of great "black African savior". Interesting guy though and the last truly Ancient civilizations on Earth until the Commies fucked it all up as per usual.
>>18004157Which one is the Ethiopian and which one is the Italian?
>>18004711Yeah the disconnect between Selassie's reputation in the Caribbean and who is actually was is pretty funny. The history of the man seems to end as soon as WW2 does for most people. The Communists were only able to come to power because of what a tyrant Selassie was.On the subject, the Communists being called "The Derg" is hilarious, like what a villainous name.
