my point is, non black civil war countries and their citizens don't get glamourized like eastern Europeans do. Serbia is a shythole for euro standards and yet the phrases and words that are synonymous with them first are tough, strong, etc. Meanwhile, a black man from a black civil war country wouldn't be described in those adjective. it would be much more
here is an example of what I'm talking about. I remember watching the Champions League Finals about 13 years ago. and a little scuffle broke out towards the end. in the heat of exchanges, this black player taps this eastern european player from the opposing team across the mouth, the eastern european gets angry and does his whole "hold me back" impression. doesn't do anything. black player get gets a red card and sent off.
and yet, I remember mad football fans going on about how the eastern european would have whooped his ass if this was off pitch. boasted about how you don't mess with eastern europeans. when the black player who came at him and actually slapped him and showed that he was really about it, was from Ivory Coast, which had been going through a civil war for almost 2 decades. this is the type of shyt I'm getting at.
edit: hell, just read the comment section of this video
This is very very very very true. If anything they call them African brothas or brothas for Caribbean (like haiti) savages who come from war torn countries. But they are never romanticized in media and the internet or called tough guys.
