      @@Layinsebas Osarumen, a father-of-three, said he, his family members and other migrants were told to disembark a bus about to cross the border on Saturday and told, “No blacks”. Despite challenging the driver and military officers’ orders, they were ejected from the vehicle.
      “Since then, I’ve been trying to get myself together and focus as normal but it’s been difficult,” he said.

He said he was afraid to go at first because he'd heard about racism but it turned out that was way overhyped. Obviously everyone's experience will be different.

      It’s beliefs about a certain group of people, which have underlying truths. A generality or stereotype, which is based off true underlying observable factors. White people do tend to earn more and thus tip more, what is a minuscule amount to whites is a large amount to people in developing countries. Hence whites get preferential treatment, sell to them and you might have them taking back a handful of your products. The children of intact black families earn more, but since the 60s, there’s been a steady decline in intact black families, and now 70% are born to single parent households, hence their negative reputation.

Moreover, since what these people possessed on their own was superior to anything we could give them, they have remained themselves... The sole result of the activity of the colonizers is: they have everywhere aroused hatred."

I can't do that with say Ghana or Kenya, which in my opinion are the best countries in Africa. I'd need a Visa, and a Yellow Fever shot. On top of that why would we even go there? Much of Africa honestly isn't that developed. If I'm going on vacation, I want to be comfortable. That said I do plan on visiting later this year just to clear my bucket list, likely to SA as its one of the few Visa free countries, but until African nations decide to open up a bit more its unlikely we'll be traveling there much.

    One thing this guy doesn't mention is that the poor street culture is full of racists, and that the idea of racist skinhead gangs beating you up because of your race is a rarity in the USA whereas it's a big thing in Eastern Europe. Go to a football game as a black man with a white ukrainian girl. That's akin to putting your life at risk. Whereas in New York I can go to a baseball game with my white girlfriend and not have a care in the world. I lived in Poland as a black New Yorker and after a while my Polish girlfriend and I decided not to hold hands in public and not kiss in public because it drew too much negative atttention and comments from pedestrians. That's unthinkable in the US.

      It's just as easy if not more so now. The mechanics of racist government have shifted to where instead of being written off in advance in the law books, it's made to seem as if it's not there at all while arguably doing more damage than ever.
      The only thing that's more difficult to get away with is overt shows of racism. If someone says something undeniably racist, they'll likely lose their job. But the systems of racist oppression of brown skin people has become so perverse in the US and the West that they'll sell poison and death to brown skin people right in front of everyone and then then convince everyone that it's a good thing.

    I encountered hostile behaviour in other European countries. I'm Scottish. I worked in Portugal and got the, ''why don't you go back where you come from'' line. Some folks just resent foreigners in their country. I hear South Africans can be antagonistic towards Nigerians and Zimbabweans. But it's nearly always a male thing. Women were quite friendly when I worked abroad. But of course that in itself can cause resentment among the men. And you don't have to be abroad to encounter that kind of ethnic resentment.
    I once asked to sit with a Black girl in a bar in London, she accepted with a smile. Soon after, a stream of Black guys came over asking if I was ''bothering'' her.
    _They had paid her no attention until I sat with her._
    After the third guy came over, she lost her patience and told him to leave her alone.
    And the Black guys who came over, had all been standing around the dance floor eyeing up a group of White girls until then. Now if that happened the other way round, there isn't a Black man alive who wouldn't call it racism. Black men should look in a mirror before they start acting as if they're so innocent when it comes to race. How many white guys could walk safely down the street in a Black neighbourhood holding hands with a Black girl?

    I am a darkskinned african american I was in mikolav.not every one was friendly its to cokd to be friendly untill you get some vodka in you .the national dish is potatoes we went to the out door market to shop.But i never traveled alone.many times the police stoppred me and asked where i am from africa .when i said no United States they instantly liked me.
    So i guess it depends on the experience.Cause there are many Nazis in that area.

      Rather not nazis but xenophobes. Ukrainians have been slaves for centuries and fought for their freedom for centuries, so some of them developed hatred for strangers, often even regardless of race. On the other hand (in my experience) there are a lot of friendly and helpful people in Ukraine, even despite the hard life

    I know a guy that ordered his coffee black from Starbucks. The barista flipped out on him. They were both white, and in Seattle.

    He is not making excuses but being grateful to the country he lived in, not expecting special treatment.

      Probably the same reason you won’t see a Ukrainian in West Africa or Harlem
