All I see here is hate for the white man...

Your head is paining you.

In fact i have never been to an airport before

Fulmigati:

Typical post from an Ignorant Nigerian. There is a big difference between racism and tribalism. Let us be real you have never been on the receiving end of racism from a Black American, you probably never travelled to America.

Sannisege:
its funny that even those smelly Indians do same here in Canada. They are reluctant to sit beside blacks on the bus. But I understand that their own is due to inferiority complex...

LOL!

ibkayee:

Yup, it’s difficult for me to say if I’ve experienced it myself because these things tend to be covert like you said. But I definitely know it’s an issue in all types of sectors with blacks usually being the most marginalised

Yeah, when my friends and collegues who ask me if I'm experiencing racism and discrimination, I usually tell them "if you look out for it, you would find it. Its simply everywhere".

Systemic racism could take the form of delibrately withholding info which could aid career advancement. Thats why you rarely see blacks rising to become managers and leaders of organisations abroad. You would just be seeing your collegues going on courses and seminars while you're ever present and 'hardworking'.
I have experienced this one lots till I gave myself brain.

i don't know if i should call it racism or xenophobia lol i once had a hard time with a course , i took to social media and found some of my friends (white) overseas who suggested a man, a white man so to say, he had resources he could help me with.
we got talking and it was going well until he asked if i was from Nigeria and i was like yeah anyway its been three and a half years since i was blocked or saying i was a Nigeria lol .

Shormiey:
I'm only here to read people's view on racism....

Same...

Ass kisser.

[quote author=GallantDuke post=98610678]Let me travel first, then I will comment.
To be candid, I won't feel bad if a foolish white man or woman refuses to sit beside me on the train. At least I will have the space to balance well on the train. [/quote
Hahha my guy, you are the type this Europeans don't joke with, I like this comment,

I hate it when a white person ask; when will you return to your country.

quaintbloke:


As Nigerians, our reputation goes ahead of us. We have a unique accent and mannerism which isn't hard to tell.
However, the worst form of racism isn't even what we face physically, its systemic racism.
Just as no girl could say she has never been sexually profiled, no black abroad could deny experiencing racism.
The whites are best about pretending to be not racist but you need to live with them to know that their own racism is worse than Indians . Your experience in Knottingley is classic for the North of UK, they don't even hide their own.

yea. You need to always be on your guard

Poland

Didi2d:


Which country is that?

handsomeyinka:
I face lots of discrimination at my job.

White people will always envy us because we are the best.

Can you please share more details? I am curious. Thanks.

fineboynl:
as a black man and you are in a recist restaurant. they hate to serve you and wash your plate. they just can't stomach the treatment that come with it. just imagine you are washing the plate a fulani beggar or herdman use to eat ?

Lwkmd. This guy you be bastard.

Not sure this counts as racism sha...
At the airport in Dubai, I waited until everyone was out so I can move from the my economy section to the business class so I can snap pix to oppress my friends at home. While traveling to Boudreaux in France, I’ve seen some Nigerians do it, na so this angry Indian host attack: “you Nigerians always sneaking to Business class to take pictures. You lot are fake.”
I was so ashamed I couldn’t take the picture and waka quietly commot. But as in, does it matter so far I board plane.

Second racism, me and my boy and two of my cousins are leaving a shopping mall and headed for the Knottingly train station make we enter one owambe for Leeds, na so this white grandma wey approach us just stop and take race. If you see as the grandma run as of say we wan rob am. I just watch am zoom and my head wan scatter.

The third na for Dubai—as in Arabs or Indians, I nor sabi this man tribe, but those people hate us nor be small. Na for the Duty Free section I wan pack cheap chocolate wey I go share for family members at home, and I carry my bag, you won’t believe it, this Arab or Indian man just dey follow me bumper to bumper—and on his face was the expression: “you thief, get out of here or I will disgrace you.” Every other tribes were there buying, but this guy, na me wey be Nigerian e dey follow up and down. Anyways, the bastard smile after I pulled out the $1200 wey dey my pocket and try do the addition from AED to dollar. I just tire, sometimes e nor good to be Nigerian


The last one na for Shivaji for Mumbai in India. One Indian werey called Kalol wants my business to come and inspect his special milling machine. Na so I wan take explore India small. See, they way they searched me in that place after almost shredding my bags, I fear. After I was cleared, someone came out of a room and said they should stop the “kali.” Na me be kali which means a special name for blacks. My Nigerian passport was a big red flag and they asked me to remove my jacket again and searched me. As in, the man was confused that I wasn’t carrying drugs. He really couldn’t believe it and the thing choke am die. He later asked me why I was coming and personally called the Kalol guy who only sent me a taxi to pick me up. I am never ever going to India for anything in my life...those people get special hate and racism for us

Exactly I hate Indians with passion wlh, those people hate us no be small, the annoying thing is that they are also very poor, I just laugh when I saw people watching Indian movies even translating it to Nigerian language, stupid Nigerians

shege45:
I have never experienced Racism where I am

Where do you stay? Maybe you might not consider certain things racist.

Calibrator:
Nigerians should honestly be the last set of people to complain about racism.


Hypocrisy is when a country plagued by internal tribalism by fellow countrymen gets offended by external racism perpetuated by outsiders.


Charity begins at home.

Tribalism is worse than Racism!

You have said it all my friend

stigmond:
Money matter...they won't pay you well as a blackman, especially in the UAE...

Are you serious

Jazzafizzy:
Happen to me by Benin people . Start from home first

I was denied a job because I'm not an indigene

I'm so sorry my dear this is the hypocrisy we are facing in this country, we are shouting racism up and down but tribalism is worse than racism, to get admission sef in some part of this country is serious wahala

I laughed all through. So this is what you people do to pepper us on social media?

Ayilara1:
We give them too much attention and we always feel inferior.

Here in Nigeria, if I see a white man/woman, no matter the urge to look at them I make sure my gaze doesn't pass once. The annoying thing you will see is most Nigerian looking at them till they feel the importance.

We might never be free from it until we develop our country.

this is so me bro, I don’t even make eye contact with whites.

The Dravidians were the first humans established in India: they were black. The migration of the 'White Indians' , in order to preserve their dominance on the indigenous blacks, instituted the oldest system of racism. A black Indian's shadow must not even come near them, and they were relegated to slaves, ditto Sri Lanka . They fear our genetic structure, because our genes are dominant; they fear being assimilated by inter-marriage to Black people: their genes would disappear almost totally with time. We are the natural humans; the first.
I think Kali the goddess of destruction was originally black.

chukxie:


On the metro, too! Covid has exacerbated the ugly trend you mentioned. These days some Chinese folks would quickly put on their masks on sighting a foreigner especially a black one. Thing is racism (covert or subtle) exists in every country; growing a tough skin and feigning indifference are two ways of managing racism.

Same Covid-19 they created and spread to the whole world? Lol... Na wa.

Someone7:
It's the subtle racism that's worse. Right there in the UK. Someone will cross to the other side of the road when they see you coming, others refuse to sit beside you on the train or bus (and it had nothing to do with social distancing). Some they flat out refuse to stand in the queue next to you at the ATM or mall.
No one came screaming "nigger" into my face but them Brits have their "polite" form of racism

Wow. This is crazy. One of my guys that went to do Masters in UK said one day he was walking jejeli on the road and one guy in a passing bus stuck his head out the window, shouted, "nigger" and threw bottle water on him. The thing opened and splashed all over him. He said he didn't even know what to do afterwards.

Please Kindly Share Any Form Of Racism You Have Faced As An African Abroad

It's not all bed of roses studying overseas for Africans, especially Nigerians. We face different forms of racism in one way or the other. Nigerian students studying overseas lets please feel free to share the various forms of racism we have faced.

I am based in China and on so many occasions, [b]some Chinese would rather prefer to stand than to sit next to an African on a public bus. [/b]The most annoying thing is that they worship Europeans and Americans.

Lol... I had a similar experience in Germany. Only on few occasions did people sit beside me and they were old people.

Once I discovered this, I started putting my bag on the next sit and balanced well. When their legs get tired, they will have sense.

These people that don't bathe and play with animals all day? Lol... I can't be moved. I am still going back self!

Nonsense post!
Share the RACISM that exist back home

Viciheaka:
lol that's tribalism if u neva experience racism Abeg japa

My brother you don't know what you re saying . What can be worse than tribalism ? Edo and delta state what's the difference ?
Im just telling you that if I can be a victim of tribalism in my own country and within my fellow blacks what more is close to racial abuse? . When you have a born again manager telling you that jobs available are meant for Edo's so what's else will be worse than being racial abused ?

mamdanju:
I hate it when a white person ask; when will you return to your country.

Tell him when:
-they help to rebuild Africa: Congo , Nigeria and the French speaking countries like Mali
- return all monies stolen from Kemet (Egypt) to S.Africa
- remove all illegal debts flustered on us
-convey truth and reconciliation committee on Assassination of Sankara, Lumumba, Jaja Opobo, destruction of old Benin Empire
- stop funding Jihadists and economic hitmen (black &white)
-apologise for divide &ruleevik system from 19th century , which caused genocide in Rwanda &Nigeria
- pay reparations (like Germany does to Israel) for the black Holocaust slavery

IF THESE ARE DONE, WE MAY GO BACK TO AFRICA PEACEFULLY.

amazinghomez09:

Personally I feel that racism will never end cos some of us too are guilty .I remember back then 2012-2013 during my msc days at Uni of Sunderland,I noticed some of my mates then Nigerians to be precise were running after some white ladies even married ones. I was completely surprised one day I told one of my friends who was also into running after married white women with kids that he is also a racist cos he cannot try it back home in Nigeria be that as it may I also experienced a whole lot of them the most common one being most of them will prefer to stand in a public bus instead of sitting close to a black man so whenever it happens I will simply balance like a king and spread very well lolz

Lol

I don't even know where to start. Well, I've had to teach kids of 2-11yrs old and you see some of them covering their nose when you get close to them based on what their parents told them about black or they touch you and try to sniff the hand to know if one is smelling bad.
I remember I was on the bus and a mother was telling her 3yr old son in her language that I'm bad he shouldn't try to touch me.
When you get to a gadget store and try to get price for something, some would say to their colleagues they can't afford it so just tell them something

Recently, my gal told me her place of work organized an excursion for all the staff of about 200. She felt reluctant about it because she happens to be the only foreigner(black) there but for the fun of it and experience she decided to include her name when some of her close pals kept asking if she was gonna go with them. Night before the D-day, she got a message that because of the pandemic, she wouldn't be able to go with them (just her alone). She had to cry because it pained her badly.

I lived in baton rouge, USA and a white woman once asked if we have malls in Africa, I said no we just go to the bush and pluck groceries from the tree,she was embarrassed and the people around was just laughing at how clueless she sounded
