So many Africans from all over the continent are obsessed with this theory about being lost tribes and whatnot of Israel. I give it to the Ethiopians that they are closer to this claim than most. But whatever the case, I don't see why this association is such a big deal, other than brainwashing. What about the present? What present claim to greatness or whatever can they make? If the present isn't holding up, the past greatness that has to be dug for and connected with tenuous strings is suspect.

I like how they r upfront with their own prejudices. I love watching young people debate, it fascinates me how young people thought in different contexts throughout history.

I keep coming back to this, partly because of its enriching perspectives on prejudice and discrimination (with the wealth of information that I wasn't aware of), and partly because of its entertainment value which is primarily caused by Susan's reactions when Boniface made serveral compelling points. Here are some other takeaways that would be worth sharing: - I have to admit that Amelia held her own in this debate as much as she and Mesfin were overshadowed by the engaging battle of the other two. She made interesting points in relation to Susan and her conflicting approaches towards Black people (why she would be friendly to her but not have a similar perception towards South Africa in the midst of Apartheid at least in this debate), as well as expressed how she faced racism during her stay in America. I personally do not think she's quite naive, rather she has a tendency to be more empathetic yet also have a realistic perspective based on her experiences. - Mesfin's character development from this debate is interesting to see, owing to becoming more open to seeing himself as an African and not "dark colored person coming from the lost tribes of Israel". And his reflection on not getting his haircut when he was in New Jersey (when he attended Dwight Morrow HS which is located in that state) was also reflective of how he was treated as a Black person, notwithstanding where he came from. - Susan had this tendency throughout this debate to be firm in what was aligned in her country at the time, and her relentless disagreement with Boniface disproving her notions was honestly giving me secondhand embarrassment for her due to how she acted. I have to say that she was quite adamant to win this debate and she was quite calculated and smart as much as she sprouted information that isn't very accurate. - Boniface presented a masterclass not just in argumentation, but in how open he was with utilizing and cross-checking his references. He made sure that his statements were based in information that was "bipartisan" (his own words) and I actually had to look up things such as John Gunther (who wrote about Africa and well, his expressions regarding Apartheid are not friendly, to say the least). I'm honestly in awe of him with his calm demeanor and firm stance. - One last thing: there used to be a document here that explain's Susan's side of things but it has since disappeared. I recalled reading it before and it was really engaging, plus it gave a perspective of what she really was vs how she had to act out there for her country. Hopefully someone out there has a copy of it as it is worth delving into, no matter how one perceives of her (though I would say she's quite an interesting person with the impact she later made with second-wave feminism and other things and likely a nuanced perception of her own person).

If not for Boniface, the Nigerian, everyone else will have been taken by Susan's bravado - she's a talker. I like the fact that Boniface helped the Ethiopian conclude on his identity: lost. And the Ghanaian girl? I think she'd rather follow Susan home, no?

This Nigerian kid was so brilliant and mature.He was light years ahead of the others.

Thank you so much for posting this. They need to show this in the schools everywhere. Prejudice is taught through the parents. In 2022 you can see the anger on that white girls face. She is seething inside. Are the smartest person on that panel is the young man from Nigeria. I’m curious today what happened to him

The Nigerian guy carried the whole black race and defended it... He is the whole sense of this debate

Agreed! He is the embodiment of our current corrupt African Leadership influences and controlled by white elites. He seems to be more interested in hearing hes own voice..

Notice how Susan tried belittling Boniface by always touching his shoulder and calling him "My Boy" every time she wanted to oppress his views? But Boniface wasn't born yesterday mshaan...I can only aspire to become even half the man he was...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
