      Amen! And each other. This is what other countries have told me… “Why respect a culture whereas they do NOT respect their own.” They (black people in the masses do NOT help their own grow and climb the financial ladder). In order to have world dominance, many/most of us would need to be wealthy and carry ourselves with dignity. You see how all the other races circulate their currency within their race significantly more than the black races? They are strengthening their own globally by doing this. We also have to make black individuals who are willing to sell out their own. (These are typical and daily debates that we had at my HBCU... as well as what I have observed over time.)

    I'm black...found a wonderful man in Italy but also experienced blatant racism by a security guard at a museum. He screamed and accused me of having a knife in my bag. I opened my back pack and all I had was a bottle of vitamins and a croissant. 🥴 He was very embarrassed for the whole scene made and apologized. The incident shook me up so badly all I could do was go back to my hotel. I cried and hid in my room for two days, as it was so traumatic. I eventually came out and continued to tour the country with the wonderful man I met there.

    I visited Italy (southern Italy), and I had no problems with the locals.
    I won't forget when in Sicily I was amongst a crowd bunched together, trying to get onto transportation. There was this white American guy who thought he could be nasty to me & push me. Before I could react, the entire crowd of Sicilians was not having that. They reacted to him so quickly, like, 'yooo wtf do you think you're doing?!' He got back right real quick.

    Its true. This happened to my daughter and I while we were on vacation. in Rome. We could not even get a taxi to stop for us. We were so grateful when a man came out of the crowd and told us to step back and flagged the taxi. It stopped for him.
    That night we were invited to an outdoor concert but we decided against going because we were afraid we would not get a taxi to our hotel. That was just one of many incidents during the week we spent there.

      The taxi wasn't the only issue, as I've said before. It just highlighted what had been a series of people looking you in your face with hostility when you said good morning. Also, the butcher shop refused to sell us, although we were sent by the people at the corner who knew him. The hotel who put us in a backstreet apartment, although we had booked months ahead for the main hotel. Let me not mention the behavior of the front desk clerk and how she treated us after we stood there and heard her being nice to the Caucasian guests.
      We are not bad travelers and know that you treat people the way you want to be treated.
      We appreciated the gentleman who came to our rescue and don't think all Italians are the same. However, there were too many incidents that ruined the experience for us. Hence, me saying I'd rather go where I feel more welcome. Thank you very much.

      You don't get a taxi like that in Rome . There's special locations for it or you can order one through an app. My husband is black and had no issues at all (I lived in Rome before we got married). In my experience if you are black and American you are fine in Rome. A lot of Italians have issues with migrants from Africa though. There's a lot of fear monger going around there...just like in US .

      As we have seen from history, ignorance is an almost incurable disease, and takes many forms, understanding the nonsense of it should just make you laugh and understand that by them thinking that way, by not being comparable, you're already a better human being.
      I hate whichever institution created these racial ideas, for humanity and the rest of the animal kingdom, they're used very differently. A simple variation in skin tone is not a different race, we are all one, humanity, with different demographics and origins of ancestry, which still leads back to the same place... We don't even have a subspecies lol or that would be neanderthals and so on. So who TF thought race was good for differentiating the shades of man? Also scientifically, genetic diversity is the best thing lol, mating with your own demographic creates a very limited gene pool, which brings in mutations, the bad types.

    A few years back my friend was catching a train from one city to another when she got on she saw a compartment with two black men sitting in it. She thought nothing of it and went and sat in a different section of the train. A few minutes into the journey this white woman walked up to her and started yelling at her in Italian. She couldn’t understand and so asked the white man sitting next to her to translate. Basically she was mad that my friend who is black was sitting in the with them and told her to move to the compartment at the back with the other blacks. She was really aggressive and threatening. Nobody said a word or stood up for her. So for her own safety she went to the back. She asked one of the black men about it and he said he had lived there for years and it’s just always been that way. This was about 8 years ago. Italy has a huge problem. It’s has completely changed my attitude towards all Italian because this attitude is tolerated by Italians who say they aren’t racist. It not enough to not be racist, to truly change thing you have to be ANTI racist. Someone should have stood up for my fiend and called out that racist woman but they kept their head down and said nothing. That makes them no better. All I know is had that been me. I would’ve ended up in an Italian jail because I black backside wouldn’t have moved an inch. To this day what happened to her infuriates me.

      Only Black people who actually live in Italy can speak to what that experience is like. I have visited various regions of Italy, too, and had a wonderful time, overall. Nevertheless, I would never doubt the experiences of Blacks who actually live there. One Italian woman made a racist remark to me at a restaurant, and I chose to ignore her. Oddly, I also saw Italian men dressed in Black face costumes for an event during the winter holidays. It was very disturbing to see, but because I don't speak the language, I could not question people about what I saw. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable.
      Despite these 2 negative incidents, I enjoyed my trip, as a tourist, and I love the Italian culture, the food, the architecture, the fine art, the opera, and so forth. Racism against Blacks is a global phenomenon. Blacks are the original race. Furthermore, Blacks are very talented, intelligent, and beautiful people, so the envy reflects the insecurities and self-hatred of those who perpetrate racism. The problem lies deep within them.

      By denying it, people exonerate themselves from the toughts of being racist and doing anything about it. It is comfortable and it maintains the white power in place. From a white Italian.
      Racism is so rooted in Italy and so as in any white country. This is just how it is. So, as a white person, you need to aknowledge that, admit it to yourself and adopt daily anti-racist thoughts and behaviours to improve. But for 99% of people is just more comfortable saying I am not racist or, racism does not exist at all, and do nothing about it.

    I'm very, very brown. It was my first trip to Italy. I had to board a train, after leaving the airport. I was struggling with my heavy travel bag up a flight of stairs at the train station, and a random Italian guy took it and carried it all the way up. Then went his way. I missed my train stop that same night. An Italian couple who'd been in the train took me in their car all the way back, through the streets, to the address I was staying at. It was my first trip to Italy, and I met mostly kindness. There are r@cists everywhere. People always find something to h@te others for. Even if you all looked the same, some would hate others for something else. I don't focus on ridiculous people. They're truly not worth the time or energy.

It's so lovely reading of your experience here in this corner of TH-cam. The Shorts section sees a lot of hyperfast consumption of information, quicker than people can digest and process. Ideas and topics that evoke strong reactions are often, sadly, attached to sorrowful or divisive aspects of our human experience. Even more reason for us to remind others that a real experience is defined by these contrasting things and we are a lot better off learning how to coexist. Balance over uniformity. Like you said beautifully at the end, even if we all looked the same, there will be those who fixate on another aspect unique to this or that person. Better to let be, because there are better things to see.

There were only a hand full of tables and they were not busy. It took 1 hour to get one round of drinks and the only thing I could think of was there had to be some type of racism at play.

Just be yourself man , have confidence on yourself and put some swag when walking and talk with confidence and authority.

If you move to a smaller town or in the countryside you will experience a warm welcome. I remind you that Italy welcomes and helps hundreds of boats full of immigrants each year. Locals together with the church parishes (not the government!) give what they can to help immigrants in need. Yes, there are racists, like in any other country, but overall Italians are not racist at all, given that christianism is at the core of their culture. I’m Italian.

People doing mental gymnastics to deny racism and invalidate the experiences that black people go through (and have been going through for YEARS which is why we know what call out), is telling that y’all are not educated or well traveled yourselves. We’re not seeking to be liked by everyone, we’re seeing BASIC human decency and respect, which we should ALL get. And to point out places that have repeatedly had a problem meeting those standards is to give a realistic view of some of these places that are overhyped.

    Y'all need to understand something about Europe: Places with with religious older people will always be racist and places with more GenZ and millennials aren't. That's why people have different experiences here and that's why its dumb to tell her that she's lying. As an European I know for a fact she'd have no reason to lie. Cause I've witnessed what she said many times. And anybody who denies this fact is delusional. Point blank can't explain it to you other way.

Usually, racial prejudice, no matter what skin colour it’s against, derives from negative experiences or perceptions, whether justified or unfounded. Only cure for racism is to expose people to more and more people of various races, till people get to see there’s good people worth knowing in every race.

Racists are everywhere in the world and there's nothing we can do about it. I've spent my life with wonderful people alongside me that never once even had an ouce of racism in them and some not so great people that you can bump into every so often who discriminate against you simply because you don't look the same as them. As much as it sucks that not much can be done, the recent generations are much more open and accepting of different people. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Italy is filled with normal, accepting and amazing people, it's just the minor population that lacks some braincells or have not been educated enough😊

    I did not have any problem with them. I noticed when I spoke and they realize that I have an accent that they were not familiar with , they would ask , where I am from; and when I told them I am Jamaican it was a whole different ball game. I suddenly felt like a celebrity. Lived there for three years, loved it. You have racist people every where you go. I found out that they don’t like Americans.

      Always the same story on here. "Some (insert race here) tried to (insert lie here) and I was so (insert slang here) and it was only because of my skin color and their whole (insert western countries here) are racist and I will never go back."
      Yeah, sure thing Yolanda, see you next summer.
