      “Since then, I’ve been trying to get myself together and focus as normal but it’s been difficult,” he said.

      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.

      Its easier to travel to Europe and Asia. I can go anywhere in Europe without a Visa, just book a hotel and hop on a plane. Same with much of Asia. 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.

    I offer this in response to an analogy of Russia's abusive relationship with Ukraine apparently designed to rally US support for defending the latter. An similar analogy can be made of the USA's abusive relationship with African American people who have, for centuries, been "feeding him, letting him use her car & giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits." Every time African Americans have attempted to break away from our American domestic violence abusers and tried to "pull ourselves up by the bootstraps", the US broke into our homes, ransacked it, and bombed the the entire premises. In rageful retaliation for the audacity of his subordinate partner to attempt to severe the abusive relationship, the USA not only cut off the African American's bootstraps, but subsequently, completely burned her boots. Ultimately, in decisive and calculated fashion, the US decimated the entirety of her possessions beyond restoration. Think, Black Wall Street, Soul City NC, Black Panthers, (US invasion of) Grenada just to name a few.
    The same is true of the abusive relationship of Europe to Africa who robs her of her jewels (resources, art, artifacts), human-trafficks/enslaves Africa's children, denies her historic ancient achievements while claiming them as her own, misappropriates her culture, ridicules her beauty while strutting it in high fashion (silicone breasts, enhanced butt, Botox lips, tanning techniques, etc), uses her biology (scientific research in melanin, stem cells, organ transplants etc.). Consider Africa's numerous, heroic efforts to release herself from the grip of her abusers: the South African fight against the oppressive Apartheid regime, Ghana's fight for liberation from Britain, Patrice Lumumba's (DRC) bloody fight for liberation against brutal Belgium control, Angola's struggle to break the chains of her ruthless Portuguese colonialists, just to name a few. Let's not forget China's present-day "interest" in Africa and its attempt to seduce her out of her God-given wealth (natural resources) while creating a state of modern day bondage through unforgiving, endless economic debt.
    In sum, it is uninformed at best and hypocritical at worst, for African Americans and Africa to become involved in EuroAmerican conflicts when we ourselves have many problems --rampant racism, police violence,homelessness/gentrification, drug addiction/hopelessness, educational inequality, voter suppression, resistance to Culturally Responsible Teaching/CRT, etc.-- of our own to contend with. No need to fight another's war abroad when we have a centuries-old domestic one to continue fighting here at home.

    Bro it's cause black people are rare in Ukraine + we never eslaved black people, we were enslaved by other Europeans. Therefore, we don't feel any bullshit white guilt. It's totally normal for someone to stare or make "racist comments". It's not out of hate it's out of lack of exposure and knowledge (just like you said). It's the same thing if I was to go to a mostly black country. I'd expect people to stare and make "racist comments", because they don't know better. Bottom line: who gives a shit?

      6KinGofDarknes4 Balance That's cool. but i'm not sure Blacks visiting or moving to europe expect it to be free of racism or white supremacy. And I agree we should visit the motherland. I have been to Eritrea. What other country do you recommend?

      mizzymolly youtube is almost open dialogue, but not quite, because the identity of most people are concealed.

    Racism will ALWAYS exist! As long as there are different races and cultures, there will be racism! There would be no diversity without racism! I thought we wanted "diversity"?...MOST people are naturally tribal and PREFER to live among their own people, race, culture! NOT out of hate! LOVING your own people, race, culture does NOT = "hates everyone else"!...People are tribal...AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! Its perfectly NATURAL! People naturally self segregate! The whole world is segregated! Again, there would be no diversity without racism, tribalism or people simply preferring to live among their own people, race and culture!...IF you are against tribalism, racism, freedom of association, you are actually ANTI diversity!

      Tribalism/racism is a animalistic way of doing things, we are better then animals are we not?
      By your thought process, it would be okay to rape women because it would help you secure your offsprings and your genes spreading.
      But that's wrong because we decided it's wrong, if everyone was tribalistic. Europe, Asia, south America, Oceania and Africa would have all been slaughtered by the Americans who would have genocided the rest of the globe to have 1 American ethnicity.
      Cultures should also be abandoned, in pursuit of success. Cultures are basically dead people trying to influence the living which is dumb.
