Mindless Violence
Jan 21st
by Teddy Fikre speech by Bobby Kennedy Song by Bob Marley written: Saturday, January 21st, 2012
This i read with sober thought and wish my sisters and brothers would understand the mindlessness of violence. We have lost countless millions and untold billions in wealth and health because of this violence. We fight over Badme in Africa, fight over stupid concretes in DC. All the while…we die…die die in this unending WAR… this is a speech given by Bobby Kennedy…please post and share this link on your wall…and give up this bullshit WAR…Bobbie Kennedy and Bob Marley…both shot down by WAR…bullets took these brave brothers… RIP Bobbie and Bob…
This is a time of shame and sorrow It is not a day for politics I have saved this one opportunity to speak briefly to you about this mindless menace of violence in America which again stains our land and every one of our lives.
It is not the concern of any one race The victims of the violence are black and white, rich and More >

There are good reasons to call an Ethiopian film 13 Months of Sunshine. Not only is it true – the sun never sleeps there – but it’s also the country’s tourist slogan because of its orthodox calendar.
And, sweetly, the name echoes the exultant words of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers in their song in which they call to be taken to that land, feeling high, sun in the eyes. So this romance has a great name, and it’s not bad itself. Not bad at all.
The tale is that of a young man taken to the US and naturalized there by his African parents in Little Ethiopia, Whitworth, south of Fairfax in LA. He dreams of opening his own coffee shop to rival Starbucks where he will worship the great bean, the buna, and the memory of his grandmother who was once honored by Haile Selassie.
But there’s not enough money for that, so when advantage beckons in a family’s desire More >

Haile Abera and three friends gathered in the shade of a big white tent after a soccer game at Spartan Stadium on Sunday, telling stories of their Ethiopian homeland and sharing a spicy meal.
Abera, a wartime refugee, had traveled from San Diego to participate in a weeklong soccer tournament and cultural festival, coming to San Jose to meet up with friends from the old country and celebrate their heritage.
“You feel like home,” said Abera, 41. “You hear your own language and eat your own food.”
Some 20,000 people, including players from 22 teams from Canadian and U.S. cities, are expected to descend upon downtown San Jose through the week for the Ethiopian Sports Federation of North America tournament. Many are spending their days at Spartan Stadium for the tournament and food More >
