Ethiopia is a Black African country. One that was never really colonized, except a few attempts by Mussolini. Yes, Ethiopia is a Black African country, but not everyone in Ethiopia is Black there are certain ethnic groups that are more Arabian. There are alot of Ethiopians with Semitic/Arabian admixture. There have at times been other people in Ethiopia who were not Black.     But anyhow, coffee was not invented in Ethiopia, it just happened to grow there naturally. It was the Arabians who first brewed coffee for a drink. The Ethiopians didn't.   http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rvinmarvin.gif  This is Starvin' Marvin the Ethiopian.   http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...orse-sheba.jpg  This picture is of an Ethiopian fresco of the legendary Queen of Sheba who was an Ethiopian , you see she doesn't look Black, not to me at least.   http://www.biografiasyvidas.com/biog...e_selassie.jpg  and this picture is of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie who is worshipped as a living god by the Rastafaris. As you can see the God of the Rastas looks more Arabic than Black.   http://harowo.com/uploads/Image/1-3/selassie.jpg   http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/bhm05/gallery/70s/3.jpg
