I've come to a realization why we have become such a weak race of a people in America......

[Chesirecatdaddy]

Here you go:
In Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Mauritania and the rest of the Arab world, Africans are treated as the scums of the earth. They are second-class citizens at the very best in their own countries. Blacks in these countries cannot aspire to positions of respect or authority.

Sorry bruh but you'd be dead fukking wrong about that. That's my country and I know for a fact that's bullshyt. You got to the mosque nobody bats a fukking eye when you see subsaharan africans. Moroccans do not differentiate between skin colors because you might be light as shyt and have a cousin who is black so that would be asinine. I love you these panafrican websites never fact check their bullshyt and confusing black people across the atlantic. It's also silly to think that because the founder of Morocco was black, many people in the Royal family are black or darker skinned and not lightskinned at all. My father married a Haitian woman and we lived in morocco for years and she was treated like a damn Queen. I even knew a Haitian family who lived out there, my best friends where from Ghana and Nigeria we all had the best years of our lives there. You'll always have a few ignorant fukks out there but for the most part racism is not something that is an issue over there. There are more economic problems than anything so you have some people with a grudge against foreigners because they "are gonna take all the jobs".

Also my one of my best friend's mom is a Black Algerian woman. Mauritania is a whole other issue, they have their own customs and have been dealing with slavery for years. Libya was toppled and invited foreign fighters who mistreat blacks it's not an issue that they've always dealt with. It's disheartening to see some countries lumped together with others under the title of "Arab" by cats who've never been there to prove some kinda of point.

at y'all fools thinking its that bad outside this damn country. I've been too several diff countries not once have i faced any racism at all except that one incident with the yakuza barring that none.
if anything else they were all open minded and treated me with respect and welcomed me with open arms. all the females parents that i met treated me with so much generosity its overwhelming. they didn't care what color i was or anything as long as i was a genuine nice individual thats all that matter

people that were strangers were always kind too me if i needed help or got lost. this damn world got shyt twisted when u watch shyt on tv. i always tell people go outside this country ur missing out on a lot of great experiences. that countries history the scenery etc....

same thing with the damn females. they are raised way diff than american females so u will get treated diff.

and yet people are talking about black people are the most hated globally. It got me like

I have never EVER gotten any racism. I've been denied some shyt because I'm a foreigners, but never because of my actual race. As for the situations of our brothers in south america, its classicism not hate, if it were hate, would 80% of brazilians be mixed with black?

Ill take your word

The reason the africans have a hard time in places like say Guangzhou, is because of the Nigerians and their crime rate. They do a lot of fraud, and killings. So they get a bad rep. However someone from Ghana will probably not get any shyt. Some chinese won't educate themselves in deciphering the 2. Russia is racist, but its not exclusive to black. Turkish, Armenians, Georgians, and probably Americans (if caught), will get their asses kicked too.

I went to a favela, and half the population were what I would call white. That is why I say its classicism. what you don't understand, is that there are just as many poor white people as black. The north of brazil is already poor, so the fact that you add the black population being the majority there, of course percentage wise it will appear so.

here is what a favela looks like. does this look like an LA hood? do you see nothing but black? everybody in this picture are poor. oddly enough brazilians consider even the white hispanics in this picture...black. Why? I have no idea, its a brazilian thing, but per our categorization, they're not even black. I see like 30% black tbh.

They are not "white" either. This is a result of mixing. Brazil has something like 40 different shades of people all with names. Sure it has morphed into strictly classism now but race is rooted in it and you can never erase that. There was even a campaign to "lighten" brazil back in the days.... that's not rooted in racism? It exists bruh... things change and situatons evolve but it is what it is. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it aint there when you got people saying it's still a problem.

As for africans even before the scams breh it's been that way. I've been to France like 10+times and used to spend summers there. There was a real hate for Africans, yeah french are xenophobes but racial epithets were brought up and etc and france was out of the slavery game long before a lot of other countries.

The french also hate north africans who are caucasian. I think it has to do with crime tbh. because MANY african americans fled America for France because they were getting treated like kings. Jazz blew up in France for a reason.

As for Brazil, the system was geared that way during the dictatorship, but after that, the new govt decided to no longer use color, and go by nationality. In brazil, there is no afro-brazilian, white brazilian, its just brazilians. When I went there I really tried to ask both rich and poor people about the racism, and THEY ALL will deny it, they say its classicism and they point out how just about every single poor favela is a rainbow and not exclusively black. When I ask why the rich areas are predominately white, they say because it's either old money, or the those families 'whitened out' which makes a lot of sense. If you're a mulatoo during the dictatorship, you got into those neighborhoods and then you bred with the other rich white folks, this is why even white brazilians have some black.

Its a very complex and interesting culture the brazil have over there. I recommend everyone to go. In fact it's my favorite country in the world.

I want to be clear before i respond to you more definatively, but what you believe is that negative feelings toward "black" people globably is not prevelant, that there is not a large scale system in place by non"black" people which purposefully exploits, abuses, sickens, economically sanctions Africans, misinforms and kills the decendants of it?

You asked and you didn't get a straight answer bruh. The whitening was systemic it wasn't happenstance. I get that people in Brazil are past that, I'd wanna move forward too. I agree that it's now classism so I'm not arguing about that, but I'm trying to get you to see that classism and racism were interlinked, even in north america. That's why you had some free blacks from morocco and other countries during the times of slavery and nobody could touch them legally, they were part of the white caste even though they were black. It just so happened to be that you had a bunch of west african black slaves in america who couldnt be part of the white caste because they were stripped of their nationality.

As for the french, that's one example, and people will always resort to blaming crime. It's not the truth it's an excuse. They don't just hate North africans (not gonna bring up the Caucasian part because people try to use that interchangably with white and it doesn't mean the same thing) they hate subsaharan africans too. It's got nothing to do with crime. The french are pretty openly racist, not saying there's a huge amount of racists.. but a very vocal minority.

 

[JasonSJackson]

yes

bet, give me a few to respond. I got to do a few things

Well yea, in the past. I mean I'm the kind of person that likes to live in his timeline. What happened back then, has some effects but when a nation goes through such a big stride like brazil to fix it, I try not to bring it up, and just let them do their thing. Right now they have an affirmative action system where if you are black, you get free scholarship (to some of the top schools) and a place in the media AND top corporations. And its not like the U.S where there are affirmative actions laws but you never seem to see it, in Brazil its a HUGE deal, lines are long and now its getting complicated because they are so mixed that its hard to point out who is black and who isnt. Its a pretty interesting phenomenon. I respect the effort of the govt and realize that they are trying to get past it, so why cling onto the past? So with that said, present day: Are blacks hated in Brazil, short answer. NO.

I don't think blacks are hated in brazil. I also agree that blacks are not the MOST HATED. I think that people are conditioned to feel that way after living here. It's not true. It is true that there's a lot of foul shyt that black people have to deal with because of centuries of programming in our minds and other's minds...this I beleive does exist. I just don't beleive that people even think about black people like that. It ain't an issue to someone who is chinese or japanese, to them you're just a foreigner. Honestly the most racist climate is right fukking here and it's fukking with black people's heads breh... got them thinking shyt is the same everywhere and it aint.

The day African Americans finally get their shyt together and exercise their real power will be the road to progress that can finally repair africa.

Now this I agree with 100%
