Solve problem of tribalism first before talking racism.

Lol.

One thing I ever come to notice in my little sojourn is that you have to be bold and confident. Any act of meekness makes you an easy target.

I mostly don't move around alone here in Cluj, Romania anymore. When I first got here, people were very very curious and stare a lot. It used to make me uncomfortable but somehow, I got bold. Walk and talk with boldness. That way, you intimidate them.

I am uses to walking with my female Polish housemate and friend People used to think we are lovers because we walk around the city together most times. So they always stare at an 'interracial couple' and we do get a lot of jealous looks from the young women, spiteful looks from the old people and young men and hear lots of comments, mostly curious.

So today, we were walking instead of taking a bus to a shopping centre about 20minutes away. Halfway, these two guys came, likely Romanians or Hungarians in their mid 30s. They kept walking up to us with the idiot shouting " Hey man, what are you doing in my country? Go back to your country and leave my country " blah blah blah.

I just ignored him, continued walking slowly and MAJESTICALLY and with real swagger and boldness while chatting hilariously with my friend. When he saw I wasn't intimidated, he had to stop cos I was making him look really stupid.

One thing about Eastern Europe is that they have not been exposed to people of other cultures. I go out almost everytime and never come across black people. I have only seen 2 blacks since I've been in Cluj.

Originalsly:
Hmmmm....walk around with boldness! Bro.... find yourself in the wrong neighbourhood and being too bold can set things off. From your account...you haven't run into racists!...just people who were still trying to figure you out... and you getting all steamed up weren't helping!

dotman4real007:
racism is everywhere!!! even in Nigeria we have tribalism. and what I call wealth racism.

otokx:
Feel free to visit Port Harcourt with your white friend; nobody will abuse you racially.

Your own self na Russia, imagine ordinary Kenya guys wan do me racism last year.

You are a very big liar. I have lived in St. Petersburg for 15 years and never experienced anything like this....there are few racists and incidents but nobody will stare at you in those countries since everywhere is filled with blacks and they even have more than 3 Nigerian restaurant and one of it is run by my wife. Is it by force to make it to the front page?
Even when I was living in Novosibirsk as the very few black person. I never experienced any form of racism and the occasional stares was out of curiosity not hate.
Unless maybe you are a remarkably ugly person or your attire was unbelievably ancient or weird which in that case you will get stares even in you hamlet

Racism is everywhere in the west. Don't be shocked to read from me that racism in the US is high as ever. I have seen it all.

Mekky2010:
I studied in Moscow and must frankly say that your experience is not a common one, St Pburg is a tourist city where millions of foreigners visit yearly. My guess is that you were probably forming Americana, with your shoes, shirt, etc displaying American flag and Russians have natural disdain for US more than the colour of your skin.

If u ever wish to visit Russia again, contact me, I ll get my pals to give you the amazing Russian hospitality ....

I hope you were able to visit Petergof before the bad experience...

The list is endless

ERONX:


We finally got back to the hotel I was very angry all through, I had to reschedule for the next flight and I went back home the next day.

All through my lifetime I have never been subjected to such a degrading and embarrassing moment.

RACISM IS BAD #SAYNOTORACISM

Olukokosir:
Russia... I prefer Ghana to Russia

Klinee:
The OP can lie! U just cook the up this story, thou I have not been to Russia but I don't believe this story. Racism occur true, but not to the extent of people running away from you just because your are black unless you are smelling. Racism occur mostly when you have encounter with people, he feels like to abuse you racially.

martineverest:
....of all places....u need 1000mg of panadal xtra


nigerians and hyprocrisy.u have forgotten how u and ur fellow nairalander insult people from other tribes and u enjoyed it...its so ironic how u view russians after doing similar things to people of ur skin colour.



#TribalismIsWorseThanRacism

George22016:
I remember my own racism experience at Ajegunle..

Pathetic!!!

seniorkachion:

The guy talked about his unpalatable encounters with Romanians in the Romanian city of Cluj. Where Russia comes into this discourse is not clear.
