One thing we as black people should understand and know no other race will ever accept us, we should build Africa to be a super power, that's the only time we can have a say in this planet
Africa isn't only black. The fact that even black people are ignorant enough to treat africa is as if it were one giant country just because most people are black, which is concerning Being black from algeria isn't the same as being a black Senegalese! Skin color doesn't magically you all the same. We have black Muslims, black Christians, animists, atheists, different beliefs, cultures, flaws, and strengths...etc. And believe it or not, lots of black people dont like black people from other ethnicities. Looking similar doesn't mean being the same or loving each other. Look at japan, china, and korea ! Also, I am an amazigh. we come in all shades of skin, and we are genetically closer to each other than you would be to someone here despite them being black and me white ! ( and yes, I am native North african and white ) We have to erase racism and black people have to feel welcome everywhere. This earth belongs to all of us !
I just came back from Istanbul Turkey this July..and get it about Scammers and inflation!! The rest I didn’t see it..and I’m African American…I went to bars and clubs and had a great time with people…Girls were friendly and nice. I took public transport and everything was cool
I don’t know why your are hesitant to name/shame clubs that discriminated against you. On an unrelated issue, when was the last time you had a physical examination? I ask because your bulging neck/throat might be a symptom of a thyroid issue that should be addressed ASAP.
Yeah, he even looks paler than last time I seen him. what happens when you travel from outside the US you have to get certain shots and check ups because other countries they’re sanitary laws and stuff are different than the United States living in the United States. We’re pretty much like sterile things other country have
He’s being dishonest that’s why. All clubs around the world don’t want a bunch of single dudes entering, it becomes a sausage fest and ruins the reputation of the club. Also fights break out when single guys hit on someone’s girlfriend. This is the case in London, New York, Los Angeles, everywhere. It is nothing to do with race. Stop playing victim.
@@Abstractsvisionthat’s because u haven’t seen a public bathroom in South beach Miami or the NYC subway in some stations…. Or the Civic Center in San Francisco, beesh just give me a break 😂😂😂😒😒😒
While i'm not saying this to change your mind or even defend Europe but the fact is that Europe is not a monolith place, every country is different from the laws to culture to the phenotype of the people to just everything.
This is true, also most of Easter Europe. I traveled to Turkey and then shot up to Poland and had a great time. Except for the having to keep an eye on scams, the people and the experience was great. That being said, I'm a white asking Hispanic that looks white, while my cousin is brown skin hispanic. He faced discrimination and just like you, he wasn't allowed into some clubs. He's used to it and said that some places will hear his American accent and do a 180. Unfortunaly, I think it's because they associate being white with Europena or America, ie, rich. It happens in Mexico too, I'll get treated a lot better by staff, than my brown side of the fam.
I've been to Istanbul a few times. Had a great time. Each person's experience is different and depends on what activities you do and the people you interact with. It's a good idea to join expat groups, meet-up groups and there are groups where Turkish people seek English speaking friends to learn English. Start with building friendships with people that can lead to them introducing you to a larger circle of friends. Don't expect most Turkish woman to sleep with you after a few hours/few drinks at a bar. Ain't going to happen. Turkish women in Germany are more "liberated" and might. But in Turkey they worry about social peer pressure and appearance.
Omg! That happened to me twice in instanbul airport and once in Bodrum, the immigration officers in the cubicle will look you straight in the eye and not respond to you when you speak to them. They just seat there staring at you watching you talk to yourself. 😩😅 Almost like an intimidation tactic. My husband was approached by a airport/military officer carrying a big gun just to intimidate him while we were at departure in Bodrum, we were the only black people in the queue. This was at the entrance of the airport when you first put your luggages through the scan machines, wasn't even at check in. The male officer was aggressive towards my husband while the 2 other female ones took turns to drag our luggage off the table and threw it on the floor. We were shocked, they were working together to intimidate us while talking and laughing in turkish.. We are blacks with EU passports, I say that because many of the Americans are in denial cos they haven't experienced stuff on this level when it's blatant and direct in your face.
I must say.... That is what I got.... I met a girl from Japan and we hung out for hours until I connected flights ... Not sure if it was racist or just culture... Didn't mine me... I got the answer I was looking for...
I was headed to Turkey on a layover from Kenya, my Tanzanian friend's been working there for a year. Before the trip she warned me "they're arresting Black people in Istanbul" & said we should just stay in her apartment.. Ironically I got arrested in Kenya🤦🏾♂️ & missed the trip to Turkey. But seeing this almost makes me glad I got arrested Turkey aint for us, go spend ur $ where you're welcome✌🏾
I went to istanbul in 2023 and i loved it. I didnt like that taxis kept their meters off but thats it. The people were super friendly. Food great, city beautiful, fragrance smelled amazing. But im not black, im brown from Bangladesh so perhaps idk how a black persons experience will be.
Dude, welcome to the Middle East, Islamic World. I would get the exact same shit for dating a Turkish girl (which I DID). You clearly need a lot more travel experience, you are talking as if every country is going to be like the West... NOPE! They are all different. You just have to go with it and take it as it is. Embrace it.
The host of the video spoke about the scamming there. I have gone through the comments and not too many people are mentioning that. Why is this? Not too many people know how it is to be black. Many black people can notice if they are being treated differently. So please don't gaslight black people when they are claiming a certain country is racist. Instead of trying to shut them down, investigate what they are speaking about. Just because you may not be racist doesn't mean that other people aren't. I believe some people still are saying America isn't racist. It is insane to think in that way. I will admit, America has gotten better though.
Nice add.. people act like bigotry disappeared, as if the world is peaceful and everyone gets along. Hard for bigots to admit their communities have issues. Exactly how you described, their denialism is strong, then they gaslighting starts.
@@nobelwarprize If you don't like a race, I would think you would be proud of it. Put all these things in the light. I want to know which country don't like people of color. I won't go. Go where you are accepted.
I was in Istanbul back in 2018. People were friendly, helpful and respectful. I think you guys should have tried to develop connections with Turkish men who could have helped you navigate the city, get into clubs and even introduce you to their female friends. You guys are to female-focused first and don't develop a strategy.
This has nothing to do with America, a black person from America is alway seen and treated for his blackness first never Americaness. So leave that American talk out of here.
hey, im from ist. the club thing has nothing to do with race. it's like that to everyone. male-female dynamics and culture are different here and it naturally affects all aspects of life. about the inflation- yes.
I was in instabul for 2 weeks the people were very friendly and i experienced no racism. But i did get scammed and i get hit with “ couples only “ at most clubs but i dont think its because im black its more because im a foreigner
It’s couples only for everyone because they don’t want fights and harassment. Even in Los Angeles, London etc many clubs refuse entry to single males, nothing to do with race at all.
I'm an UK born and raised black man of Jamaican born parents. I'm married to a Greek woman. Greece and Turkey have beef going back centuries. The first and only time I went to Turkey was while on a cruise through the Meditterrean. Some Greeks on board did not even want to step foot in Turkey. I got off the boat, went on a tour around those mosques which are converted old Christian churches. Even my Turkish tour guide, who incidentally lived in the USA was a racist. Whenever I go down to that part of the world, Turkey is never on my iterinary - I just stay on a Greek island or in Athens. Its much better, especially if you are a black.
İstanbul, İzmir and Bodrum are racists especially the "white Turks". They are racists towards all nationalities beside Turks, especially Arabs. So racism is not toward you being black but because it is obvious you are not Turk. Recommend visiting Karadeniz and other regions of Turkey.
1. It’s normal for clubs to be couples only because there are many fights in Türkiye due to someone talking to another person’s girlfriend, and the clubs don’t want trouble. So it is not because of your race, it is because you are a bunch of single guys, and they really don’t want trouble. Respect the local culture. 2. Bar crawls are different because they have a group leader that can speak with you in English and have at least some control. Most Turks don’t speak English. 3. The so called weird looks aren’t because of discrimination, they’re because of curiosity. Also you happen to look like a local football (soccer) player. Yes there are many black soccer players in Istanbul and they’re paid extremely well. 3. The Ethiopian girl got in most likely because she is working (woman of the night). 4. There are many issues in Istanbul due to working girls as well as people dealing substances. Unfortunately most of them are from the Africa. You are being very unfair and dishonest.
I went to Turkey in the mid-90s twice. It was so cheap then, you could get a nice room in central Istanbul for $10 a night. Everything else was cheap there too. Best thing then were all the other places in Turkey. I arrived from Iran so got to see parts of the east. Social media popularised travel to types of people that would never travel to places like this before, people like yourself for example. In the 90s only Germans went to Turkey, Americans, Brits etc didn't go to such places. That's why Istanbul and so many other places are the way they are. Now to have an authentic experience you have to go to places even further off the beaten path.
I won’t lie to you we be taking bribes out here working night club security in the Bay 😂😂, but I’m not a jerk about it, I tell them “oh yeah, the no hats no tennis shoes policy is because the owner”
Real racism exists in the USA but we have legislation that protects against it. As you said, a lot of other cultures/countries don’t have the standard of tolerance or legal framework to protect against discrimination.
@@nobelwarprize in the US people who are racist are outliers, aside from small pockets. In other countries, it’s a generally accepted norm. Although, institutional and cultural discrimination against “whites” is on the rise in the US.
@@benhendricks260 racism is subtle in the USA. People hide behind plausible deniability. I find it hard to believe the dominant culture/gender in America is somehow under attack. Minorities don’t have the power structures to be “racist”. The poorest demographic in America couldn’t, even if they tried, dominate or compete with “white) (male hegemony”
It’s not a scam. The prices change too fast. I speak some Turkish and they always apologize and explain. It’s because of hyperinflation. They don’t get time to change all the menus. Try to speak at least some Turkish. Smile, ask nicely. This guy is full of crap.
I had NO ISSUES IN TURKAY... IT WAS GREAT... THE CATS, THE HILLS, THE GRAND BAZAAR HAD A FEW PEOPLE TRYING TO SALE U STUFF IF YOU STOP AND LOOK BUT WHEN I SAW THEM ABOUT TO APPROACH I WALKED AWAY
As a turkish I definitely Agree with scammers taxis but disagree for others. Turkish people never ever discriminate about religion , race etc. You can also check Ottoman history. We are the most welcome country in the world. Also prices are high everywhere in the world but in Turkey we have a very high inflation rate because it’s a developing country. Istanbul is a very big and of course expensiveness can be normal for that city.I live in USA when I came here I had a very big culture shock because of the people in here. They’re also kinda racist too.
What about discrimination against minorities, such as Kurds, Armenians, and Assyrians? Can one of them openly express their ethnicity and race in Turkey without hesitation?
@ I agree that , those minorities face discrimination in Turkey. That is all different. my comment was about discrimination in the United States as a Turkish person.
Hey OldGreatness , I guess meeting with Auston didn’t bring you the views like you thought. Are you going to finally admit this whole PPB era is finished? Going to Africa isn’t going to help. Stop running from reality.
I've been to 4 Turkish cities, Bodrum, Antalya, Marmaris and Instabul.. Hes right with all he's saying, all other black people from other European countries already know this. It's only Americans that are new to this and living in denial.
@@omo0910curious what racism you experienced in those cities? People were staring at you, and what else? Fyi. Turkish culture is very interesting. Known for great hospitality, welcoming and a friendly mature. I dont know why or i cant explain why but in turkish people, staring at foreigners is somewhat a thing but i guarantee you that it is not racism or hatred. People look at white blonde tourists too. I know for a fact that men usually stare at female tourists but imo the reason is because it's a conservative country and men usually make believe westerners are more open sexually. Yes the staring can be annoying but dont tell me they did not answer your question because you are black...as anywhere, you will experience some cultural shocks but black americans always twist everything to race. Btw, i have lived longer in the US than Turkey. I have many black friends, dated black women and i too have my own experiences. Now i never attribute some of those experiences as racist though i understand i shouldn't based on historical facts, i simply ignore it...
i have been lots of times to istanbul from london and always had a blast and the ladies are amazing. seems like you had a bad experiance to label vid DON'T GO. drinks are all seperated like beers, spirits then cocktails. prices are fixed. you spent too much time counting then enjoying yourself !
Exactly. So many famous football (soccer) players in Türkiye are black. He went to nightclubs and wasn’t allowed in because he was a single guy or only with other guys. Well it’s the same everywhere in the world even in Los Angeles, they don’t let in single dudes. Nothing to do with skin color or hair color or whatever. Come with some girls and they’ll let you in. They just don’t want people harassing the girls in the club and fights breaking out.

Hey OldGreatness , I guess meeting with Auston didn’t bring you the views like you thought. Are you going to finally admit this whole PPB era is finished? Going to Africa isn’t going to help. Stop running from reality.
loool
I've been to 4 Turkish cities, Bodrum, Antalya, Marmaris and Instabul.. Hes right with all he's saying, all other black people from other European countries already know this. It's only Americans that are new to this and living in denial.
Isn’t that where Akon went to do his hair transplant
Facts 😂
@@omo0910curious what racism you experienced in those cities? People were staring at you, and what else? Fyi. Turkish culture is very interesting. Known for great hospitality, welcoming and a friendly mature. I dont know why or i cant explain why but in turkish people, staring at foreigners is somewhat a thing but i guarantee you that it is not racism or hatred. People look at white blonde tourists too. I know for a fact that men usually stare at female tourists but imo the reason is because it's a conservative country and men usually make believe westerners are more open sexually. Yes the staring can be annoying but dont tell me they did not answer your question because you are black...as anywhere, you will experience some cultural shocks but black americans always twist everything to race. Btw, i have lived longer in the US than Turkey. I have many black friends, dated black women and i too have my own experiences. Now i never attribute some of those experiences as racist though i understand i shouldn't based on historical facts, i simply ignore it...
i have been lots of times to istanbul from london and always had a blast and the ladies are amazing. seems like you had a bad experiance to label vid DON'T GO. drinks are all seperated like beers, spirits then cocktails. prices are fixed.
you spent too much time counting then enjoying yourself

Exactly. So many famous football (soccer) players in Türkiye are black. He went to nightclubs and wasn’t allowed in because he was a single guy or only with other guys. Well it’s the same everywhere in the world even in Los Angeles, they don’t let in single dudes. Nothing to do with skin color or hair color or whatever. Come with some girls and they’ll let you in. They just don’t want people harassing the girls in the club and fights breaking out.
I lived in Türkiye.
Great people they are.
Welcome to the Arabs migrants world in Turkey 😂😂😂
1. It’s normal for clubs to be couples only because there are many fights in Türkiye due to someone talking to another person’s girlfriend, and the clubs don’t want trouble. So it is not because of your race, it is because you are a bunch of single guys, and they really don’t want trouble. Respect the local culture.
2. Bar crawls are different because they have a group leader that can speak with you in English and have at least some control. Most Turks don’t speak English.
3. The so called weird looks aren’t because of discrimination, they’re because of curiosity. Also you happen to look like a local football (soccer) player. Yes there are many black soccer players in Istanbul and they’re paid extremely well.
3. The Ethiopian girl got in most likely because she is working (woman of the night).
4. There are many issues in Istanbul due to working girls as well as people dealing substances. Unfortunately most of them are from the Africa.
You are being very unfair and dishonest.
