What was the extent of the political or economic relationship between Israel and Ethiopian Sheba? Normally we do not think of Ethiopia as being within Western Civilization, but contact between these places suggests that there was historically some understanding between Africa (beyond communities on the Mediterranean) and the Near East.

They became allies during Solomon's reign. Solomon and the Queen of Sheba were very close friends (some have suggested they were even lovers). Solomon wielded strong influence in the region because of the work his father did in solidifying the kingdom through war.

So in other words, they did not have racial hang ups in those days?

Yeah they did, but not in this particular case. Remember that the Israelites were still the new kids on the block and so were aspiring to be like the more established nations around them, so in a sense, they were the bottom of the barrel.
