African Americans’ ongoing struggle for equality should be seen as an inspiring lesson for other subjugated peoples. Have African Americans victimized themselves by perpetuating their own underdevelopment through focusing on their past victimization as the prime minster claimed? This new system invented the ideology of “colorblindness” and has perpetuated the underdevelopment and victimization of the African American masses. Furthermore, for Abiy, racial slavery, segregation, continued racial subjugation, and police brutality that have been brutalizing African Americans for more than five centuries have nothing to do with the underdevelopment and poverty of African Americans. The Prime Minister should apologize to African Americans and all freedom loving people for his comments.
