I was treated much better in Russia than I was in America.
Can you explain what they treated you back in America
@@jalukejaluke6884 For starters, White Supremacist movements are rampant in America, it's common for Neo-Nazi groups such as the Klu Klux Klan, The Proud Boys, the Aryan Republican Army, and the American Nazi Party to target random black people on the streets and murder them. The perpetrators are often in news not disclosed in fear of public outrage, and the media often covers up their actions and gives justification for their crimes. Plus with the Nazi's Nuremburg laws literally being directly influenced under America's confederate army. America has a strong right-wing party endorsement which aims to kill not only all native born African Americans but all African, Hispanic, and Indigenous immigrants.
@@jalukejaluke6884 African Immigrants almost exclusively get placed into prisons after applying for temporary citizenship in which white Spanish immigrants get preferential treatment into temporary homeless shelters.
Love Russia from a black woman🇷🇺❤️

I'm half African American. I spent nearly a month in Moscow. Not only were the people extremely nice to me, I didn't feel any discrimination or scrutiny based on my skin color. They looked at me as just another individual and were frequently friendly. When I got on the subway and sat next to older Caucasian people no one grabbed their purses, got up to sit next to someone else, or didn't go out of their way to make sure I was served last at in a restaurant and other retail establishments. These are the things I experience frequently in the USA and it just rolls off of my shoulders. I did not realize how racist the USA was until I left and returned. The subtle racism that I was oblivious to before I left the USA was air apparent when I returned. It's a shame that the leading country of the free world is still one of the most racist countries in the world and that reality is arguably one of the great paradoxes of our time.
Well with all the riots happening in America I hope their mindset stays the same
The world is different than sh*tmerika. If you are good we treat you good.
That’s greAt
who told you that the United States is the leading country in the world, my socks laughed at this for a long time, even the neighbors woke up with their laughter. Don't make us laugh like that again.
@@rodriguezmichael5618 the "riots" were protest against racism in policing thats been happening in America for decades. The racism this person was talking about what causes police brutality, mass incarceration & the war on drugs....which is what those PROTEST were about. But judging by your name you probably dont know much about Americas racist history
People like you are what caused that failed coup at the Capitol the other day. You all are gonna fuel and incite more racism in the already racist lunatics in America who believe that Black people (who account for less than 14% of the population) are their greatest enemy (that hate for Blacks fuels their hate for Democratic) and thats why they are only comfortable with an emblem of White Supremacist ideology like Trump being in power (mind you Trump, with a republican house & senate didnt make White Americas lives any better than they were when he got elected). You people keep playing with this White Supremacist anarchist fire and they will burn this country to the group. So sad
He's not the first black Russian official. We had one in the 18th century, from Ethiopia. The first elected one maybe.
А в Твери у нас живет король Ганы, кстати.
Pushkin's grandfather Hannibal was the first.
If you're talking about Alexander Pushkin, he was not from Ethiopia man.. His Great Grandfather was from Ethiopia.. So he was like maybe 1/8 African. Huge difference.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Pushkin was not a Russian official
@@Pythoner Ah ok who are you referring to then? I've just seen so many people try to say that Pushkin was African, when in reality he hardly was.
You understand, Russian for us is not a nationality, it is belonging to Russia. No matter what color a person is, what gods he prays to, Jean is Russian, he is our man.
OUR
yeah, no, atleast europian russianz arent like that.
If ur not russian, europian russian will call u nazi or russofob, just cuz u dont speak russian.
Haven seen Russian citizens doing that, only USSR russians
Times change rapidly. 00s were the hardest as Russian cities were flooded with immigrants and people blamed them for all the world's sins. Now meeting black person in the street causes no controversity; maybe just reasonable curiosity if it happens in some rural outback town
All that sounds good but that’s not the reality. There are way too many racist situations happening in Russia and there is a big skinhead and Nazi groups there. Personally, I find Russians less racist here in America. They do treat blacks really nice and will go out of their way for you. I live around, have friends and work with a lot of Russians. You walk into their stores and they treat you equally. They don’t follow you around in their stores. They dress better than other whites and the older people have a life…I mean a real social life. Very fashionable people. They don’t clutch their bags around you. They seem to not have any fear being around black people. Again, this is just my experience. I can’t speak for anyone else.
@@ANIMshit You can’t say “All” Russians here or there, and rationally thinking, that goes for every nation.
This is definitely not my experience with Russians in EU, specifically here in Holland
On top of being a good and honest politician he has a smile that is priceless.
Yeah, he reminds me Nelson Mandela with that smile
WATCH PASTORS PERSPECTIVE FEBRUARY 23, 2021 You Will SMILE 😀❤️
As an African American who has travelled to Russia and other former soviet union countries. I get treated Infinitely better in those places than in America..
@@caviarfortytwo4718 thanks a lot! I have actually traveled to Almaty and Astana. Almaty is my favorite city in the world!! If I can live in Kz someday I will! Спасибо большое)
@@EmericaNobles where you from? I'm Jamaican-American living in Jersey.
Do they follow you around in high end stores, and is it hard to find hair products.
@@florastewart7957 not exactly. It's more so that we get followed around everywhere. Not just high end stores. I started getting followed from aisle to aisle when I was 4 years old inside of a cheap grocery store. That's actually how I found out what racism was. And regarding hair products that's not really a concern in terms of availability. The issue is that if you go to stores like Walmart, Walgreens, etc. You'll see that black people hair products are locked behind the glass and they need a store staff member to unlock it so we can get our products. Whereas every other races hair products are freely available and not being locked glass. Pretty messed up.
@@EmericaNobles OMG I'm from Kazakhstan and its really happy hearing about this because earlier today I was watching a video about how foreigners would get killed for being in Russia but still I highly recommend not going poor cities in Russia because there still are those resist clans that are really mad about foreigners being in their city, but Kazakhstan is safe because most of the people are Muslim and there are physco people that are killing non russian people
Interesting..
Its not often you hear o see stuff like this about russia its usually negative.. Its good to see a black man enjoying himself in russia.. And that he is appriciated
nyeeezy they wanted a token
@@realist6482 like Obama?
Roscoe, we must not forget that one of Russia's most loved poet Pushkin was of black descent. He is universally loved in Russia as far as I can tell.
@The Knight of Nightmares lol. It means u never spoke to actual russian people. Most of us hate government.
@Lukas people are afraid of police. We have much more policemen and national guard than in Belarus. Dictatorship in a nutshell
My gf was russian. We visited st petersburg and I didn't want to leave.. These people are just normal.. 0 racism. Not even a whiff. Crazy
The reason why we rate the Russian Ppl and highly respected them is because them never come to Africa and killed rape and rob Africa resources and take Africans and slaves them so for such high quality of dignity and integrity for humanity we salute Russia and the Russian Ppl 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
That’s true, even though at the time the Russian tsar knew that not being involved in the African slave trade would significantly set Russia back economically, compared to European nations that thrived from this, but it went against our Orthodox Christian faith so Russia never got involved.
@@vladm5920 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
So why isn’t Russia opening its door to Africans like Europe does? Plenty of killing and raping and robbing done to Africans by Africans.
@@Gopferteckel not by Africans but by european imperalist in the past
But they always slaved neighbor people.
If Africa was neighbor to Russia that would be exactly slaved as non-russian native people in Russia, now
I understand that this is a very old video, but I still can't keep silent))))). The first black politician in Russia. Ahahaha, I've never seen so many lies contained in one true phrase. It sounds something like this: "There is discrimination in Russia, and therefore blacks are never elected to leadership positions." In fact, blacks make up less than 1% of the population of the Russian Federation, and it is not surprising that they are not elected, there are simply very few of them here. This is explained very simply: the Russian Empire did not colonize African countries and did not import slaves from there, our own population played the role of slaves. After 1917, universal equality, both national and gender, was generally proclaimed and promoted in every possible way. You can talk a lot about the USSR, but I grew up in a Soviet family, my father is a military man, and my mother is a teacher, quite an average family by all standards. And I can say that any racist statement in my family would cause confusion and anger, perhaps they would have kicked my ears)))) But it would never have occurred to me to say something like that, because, besides my parents, I have heard about equality in kindergarten, school, on television. Another thing is that after the collapse of the USSR, the whole policy of equality and fraternity stopped and many people slipped into nationalism, racist groups appeared, the government is fighting them, but not as effectively as we would like. Personally, I can say for myself that I remember what my parents taught me, and I teach my children the same, and I am not alone in this.
Powerful Revelation here. As an American with Indigenous Aboriginal Roots I never fell for The Cold War Propaganda heaped upon us in Elementary School. During that time our President, John F. Kennedy was Assassinated because he wouldnt confront the Russians Alliance with Cuba. I was 6 years old then. The US has NEVER been the same since.
I think Mr. Putin is doing whats best for his Nation.
Thank you taking your time to explain.
He's one of the nicest politicians I've ever seen,.
African descent always are they just more humble they always feel more real and not uppity I wish white people were like that

How bout now? 🤣
The great Paul Robeson stated ,the first time he felt like a human being when he visited Russia 🇷🇺
Heard about this many years ago. It's so annoying how the media portrays certain countries and their cultures as it can damage your perspective. I was ignorant myself and had unsubstantiated prejudices towards Russia until my friends came back from their during the world cup. I couldn't get them to shut up about how much of a great time they had over there and now they want to go back for a normal holiday... I will definitely be joining them!
It is even worst now for us black Russians we can't speak before the western shame us for loving our people and our country ask Africans that have been to Ukraine what happened to them sad how tv programed people
Please don't contaminate Russia.
And now Russia under heavy sanctions!

@@user-mx3mm7rv9f lmao such nonsense
Russia has always fight alongside with African countries to fight the colonial’s and that the result you see during the UN vote. A lot of African countries abstain or support Russia. Me personally I love Putin….
Long live to Africa brother! With all respect from Moscow!
But at the same time russia was colonizing other non-russian native people. Who were struggling those were massacred (Kazan people during Ivan lV terrible or Caucasian people during war with general Ermololov and etc.)
Damn, as a Russian, I've barely seen any black people that speak Russian until this.
They are so many my friend...
Yelena Khanga
In Nigeria, there are tonnes of people who speak Russian .
Нас очень много, почаще надо путешествовать наверное

Much respect for this brother. He persevered and is making his community better.
His story is even more interesting, after doing his university studies there he moved back to his home country, but was almost immediately arrested by the local authorities who wanted to execute him for his honest local community work that made them look incompetent and corrupt.
The USSR ambassador heard of it and went to his jail cell and refused to leave for three days, until he was released into his custody. They then expelled him from his country and he was taken as a refugee back to the uSSr.

Proud of being from Benin Republic (West Africa). Que Dieu le bénisse!!!
Inspiring,impressive and a welcome development worthy of commendation and emulation. Am so happy and proud of him with gratitude forever to Russia and Russians for accepting him as one of them bcos what matters is not the colour of our skin but the content of our character. Keep it up brother. More blessings.
He honestly looks happy!
Well, maybe it's because he's smiling, friendly, civil, and respectful of the Russian culture.
It looks like he has assimilated into another sovereign nation without trying to force his customs on them.
That's what I would do if I moved to his former nation of Benin.
I'll bet if you talked with him he would confirm that he's not trying to supplant Russian culture.
@FromRussiaWithLove : If only Whites moving into Africa had taken the attitude you describe towards Africa and Africans.
@FromRussiaWithLove : and I'll tell you what I've been telling people for decades: If you need to degrade, displace, and divide people to bring those things, what does that make you?
@FromRussiaWithLove Russia is worse off then SA so your "whiteness" in not exactly helping your country's economy🙄
@FromRussiaWithLove But Russia is still worse economic wise besides SA is the 30th wealthiest country there are other European countries especially in the East who are worse off. And who said I claimed black or African pride unlike you I don't base everything on my skin colour to compensate for being a failure in life
@FromRussiaWithLove I never said that our economy was good we have our problems but Russia is worse whether you like it or not. There are even Russians who are moving here and as I said we are the 30th richest country in the world. It just depends on the economic spectrum you on. One of the biggest problems is corruption otherwise SA is not short of money. Russia is just as bad when it comes to corruption the poverty there is terrible. And again you base your pride of your race and heritage instead of personal success because you have not achieved anything in life
Good luck to that man. He seems like a very good person
I like how he smiles all the time, we can clearly see that he is happy!
Nothing but respect. And that name is awesome! In fact, this man is my new Chuck Norris
i am a South African I grew up during the apartheid times we were told how Rusia loves Africans and they were supporting our leaders with material things to fight against the apartheid government those were evil times and there was a Russian man called JOE SLOVO he was fighting with us fighting for us today in our communities there are places that are named after him and we have a place called Moscow here in East London to me it is not a shock to see this gentleman storry because of how i knew Russia during the struggle in South Africa .
Agree with you 100 percent. As a child in the 80s, I was exposed to a lot of tear gas in the townships and was really tired of running around throwing stones at the police. I hardly knew the face of Mandela that time however I was disappointed when they distributed a picture of him with eyes concealed. Through all that chaos and being tired of police terrorizm, I heard one child saying that the Russians are coming to rescue us from Apartheid, from that day on, my hope was restored, I never went out to fight against the police however I pictured Russian military Men tackling the ruthless apartheid police. Even though that never happened, things started changing for the better in South Africa.
America also helped get rid of Apartheid. Why not choose the right allies?

Как гнусно звучит такой простой репортаж!
Каждая индивидуальная реплика от репортёра звучит с ядом! Можно сказать о делах человека, ради которого вы собственно приехали. Но нет. Вы пытаетесь обозвать дома ветхими минимум два раза.
Ладно, ладно. Советский Союз для вас был Империей Зла. Но теперь то у нас демократия - а вам *НАСРАТЬ* и вы продолжаете нас ненавидеть в любой нашей ипостаси!
это у них работа такая, они за это деньги получают. ничего странного. а СССР вовсе не зло, а просто предлог для борьбы против всего русского. кончился СССР, вроде и предлоги для борьбы с нами не стало, ан нет. таки продолжают давить.
Это противоборство чем-то похоже на историческую борьбу Франции и Англии, только я не думаю что она закончится по крайней мере в первой половине 21 века.
Так они ветхие и есть.
Русских и при царской власти ненавидели и постоянно отаковали.Дело не в режиме,а в богатстве России,которое Запад хочет заполучить.
He's not the first one. We had an official from Ethiopia in the 1700s.
That was another country
0:15 я в целом очень редко вижу черных в России. Надо понимать, что большинство их вообще видит впервые. Если вы видели, как белых встречают в отдалённых африканских племенах, также русские в деревнях встречают черных. Это не враждебность, это удивление. Я и сам, хоть и часто в интернете вижу черных, но когда в реальной жизни их встречаю, как-то непривычно. Но никакой враждебности в себе не чувтсвую. Сразу хочется как-то поддержать человека, помочь. В истории России это первый случай такого масштабного взаимодействия черных с белыми, и до 21 века мы почти не взаимодействовали. Поэтому такое удивление при встрече. Но, повторюсь, никакой враждебности. Чтобы была враждебность, нужна историческая борьба между народами. Её небыло. Поэтому и враждебности нету.
These guys seem more annoyed that the reporters even brought up his race. I can hear the “are you kidding me” tone even though i don’t speak their language.
Hostile? Why do you lie? He looks unusual but that because Russians never imported slaves from Africa and doesn't have many people from Africa. Don't mistake surprise for hostility!
In us u only had one black president and never a woman.
He is so beautiful, I love his smile!
"many Africans face hostility" answer this how many got shot by cops? end of story
i’m pretty sure no blacks were shot by police in russia. russian police rarely use their guns.

The first black Russian official was Gannibal, one of the close Peters the Great assistants in 18 century
He was not elected by people. He was assigned by the tsar.
He was a Caucasoid Ethiopian. Never black. No black would ever be allowed to hold any important position in Russian society or government.
That would never happen in Ukraine

Bless this man and lovely people of Russia. 1 love.

No racism in Russia it's great for blacks! This is a African not a African American
People of Russia are intelligent and logical above all. So there might be some discrimination they will all chose the right candidate for the job no matter the color

Xenophobia is natural in any homogeneous society, but when people get to know you they change usually if you are good person
Russia is not now, nor has it ever been a homogenous society. The Russian Federation is comprised of 190 different ethnic groups. Only 8 percent of Russia's population are immigrants.
Not always. It depends on the people and their values as well.
What do you mean by a homogeneous society? There are almost 200 peoples and nationalities in Russia.
Beautiful to see. Love and Respect!
This is so interesting. Do more videos like this !!
Good men come in every colors and shape !

What if he became president 😂
To be honest he does have a good, kind face that makes you want to immediately trust him! Good for them to have him as one of their own.

Come to think of it, Alexander Pushkin was also of African descent by way of his great-grandfather.
Why is it important that he needs to be good and kind for people to like him. Why is it conditional ? Why can’t he just be neutral (not good or bad) and people
Still like him for being a human being ? Just cuz he’s black he should not work harder or have a high bar and standards to meet to earn basic human rights and respect.
That was not translated well.
Showing goodwill is what makes people like you.
They may tolerate, or accept but to respect or like, one needs to be worthy of it.
It's the same even in African countries.
