New Orleans. The only city I've been to where I legitimately felt shook. 
I was in Poland for 10 or 12 days. Drove from Warsaw to Olsztyn and Gdansk (3 hour and 4 hour drive respectively). I didn't see a single black person the first 6 or 7 days I was there and during my entire stay I saw a total of... 3 black people in the country. Of which only one was NOT a tourist/visiting like me. As a matter of fact the two brehs I saw told me they were football (soccer) players in town for a tournament.Why would there be lots of black people living in Warsaw?
I didn't expect to see a lot of black people but at least SOME. And people staring didn't help either. Don't get me wrong they treated me like a King in those small towns like Olsztyn but the constant staring got to me.
Edit: I did see a couple more black people at the airport when i was leaving but their flights were just connecting in Poland.

What cities you been to that felt weird, odd, or strange to you. Not for any direct reason, but just the atmosphere of the city or it's people.
If you see your city feel free to comment!
Washington DC
Went with my wifey for a short stay while on a road trip to a friend's baby shower in Charlotte, NC. I'm drivin up to a perfect view of Capitol Hill at night thinkin, good ole Chocolate City! This is gonna be the bomb!
Saw all the tourist sites during the day. Loved it. But the night before the wifey and I lit up a thick one and went out to check out what was nearby.
To begin with, people in DC--or at least this area, we stayed at the W hotel--seem..."reserved." I felt like I was surrounded by robots. Like people just walk or sit about keep completely to themselves, ignoring their surrounding. Also it was around midnight or so, in a hotel/bar district, and the streets were dark and almost empty. Strange.
We hear some Hip Hop playing outside this one spot and decide to go check it out. The music is all old school Hip Hop and club-R&B...not bad...but they all sound like cheesy knock offs. Maybe it was really obscure old school stuff. It could have been royalty free Soundcloud tracks for all I know. but we didn't hear anything we knew. Just some random late 90s/early 2000s sounding Hip Hop.
Everyone was wearing suits and ties. Maybe it was an after work spot. So we felt kinda weird walking up in there with shirts, jeans and kicks thinking we found black folks spot. Mostly young white, Indians and Asians.
But the most bizarre shyt was their dancing. Instead of some two steppin, rockin, bumpin and grinding going on the motherfukkers are bouncing around like ball room dancers to what sounds like a bad Ginuwine knock off.This is strange even by white college bar standards. Again, like we were surrounded by robots.
Overall, even by day, going to restaurants or shopping around and stuff, DC people just seem really "off" and reserved.
We got the hell on with our road trip the next night. Arrived in Charolette, enjoyed the day life and went to this packed strip joint/party wit all black folks and a DJ/MC. The jams was on deck from Nas to Future. Felt right at home
Dallas, Texas
This one actually had kind of a bad back story. One of my more simp moments of the past. Skipped class to drive from NYC all the way to this city (20 fukking hours) for this older lady I was fukkin at the time. She claimed she desperately needed to see her family for a personal reason but had no car, couldnt afford a flight, none of her broke friends had a car, and I was the only one who could come to the rescue before it was too late. p*ssy was good tho.
To start, I did not see big downtown Dallas while I was there. It felt weird being in a city where people don't....you know....go outside. Everyone drives from place to place, and if you're walking you look like a psycho. Just weird to me, as a East Coast dude. No corner stores, no bodegas, No noise. Drive-in everything. Every place you need to get to is in a mall or plaza. Just a weird city to me. I can see myself retiring away here, but man, not for me at this point in my life.
With that said, as a foodie, the restaurant game in Dallas was glorious! Maaaan, the food, atmosphere, service, vibe. Dallas knows how to eat. I'd go back just for food (and see downtown) alone.
DC and Dallas fam, where did I go wrong?
Downtown Dallas is mostly business during the day...fairly busy. At night, it's quiet because there just aren't that many people living down there. The shops close early.
Uptown, Addison and Deep Ellum have most of the action.
It's definitely a driving city because it's growth took off around car culture. The weather is great in the fall but no one wants to walk around outside in summer when you have West Nile mosquitoes and it's 100 degrees.
Dallas also just has a lot of land and low density. In terms of geography, Dallas County is about the same size has NYC....350 square miles....but we obviously have way less people. Hard to support dense development outside of a few planned areas.
Bro you are in POLAND what is there for black people?
it's not France, England, or Spain
East Coast cities have demonic energy. Like the shyt that went down in these places throughout history still haunt them....ghosts everywhere down the east coast and south 
It's getting weird with these cats thinking Black people are in heavy numbers everywhere. I wonder do White folks go to Africa or Jamaica thinking they gonna see a bunch of cacsBro you are in POLAND what is there for black people?

Jackson Ms.... just screams crab in the barrelness, racism, and poverty. Never fit in there really...EVER. Last time i went there it was even worse and seemingly infested with gays.
Honolulu Hawaii... i lived there, barely any black people but enough if you knew where to go. City is small af though. Never met so many asians in my life which isn’t a bad thing, i just never lived anywhere like it. It can be cool but it can also be trash. Cost of living is insane. Can’t travel anywhere in under 5 hours, traffic, military crabs/cacs everywhere, tourists everywhere. It can be cool but it takes a lot of getting used to. Locals are hit or miss
Tallahassee Florida... see Jackson above
Destin Fl.. overall wack to me
Probably some more other random raggedy ass cities

Cotonou, Benin
Benin as a country is one of the few African countries where most people still practice indigenous African religions.
One of the first times I really felt “eerie spirits” in the air.
