PunterTim: I agree with u but for ur last sentence. There is none to blame if one feels emotionally challenged after such an event. Its understandable cos if u've never experienced it u wont understand it. Such lessons are hard learnt but the rebound reactions from the sufferers are the problems. After my experience I was down for a while, depressed cos I am a professional but was treated as a cleaner. I became aggrieved and my depression took a manic turn so I became arrogant and attacked any person I perceived looked down at me. From experience I have realised there is nothing wrong with being black, infact its the exact opposite, something to be proud off. When I realised that reactions to their hateful stares changed and I started walking with swag, that was when I actually noticed that the reason they tried to put me down, tried to make the devil of me, made me suffer was cos they believed they were better than me. They were convinced I was of no good and will come of no good. I made then a silent resolve within myself to disprove that misnomer cos I knew who I was and I knew if given the same opportunity they had I was going to be better, infact I knew I was better than them. It was obvious they felt threatened by my presence cos they got uncomfortable anytime I was nearby. I had a ball in that firm after realisation came to me. I was like a star cos I was the only black person there, everyone knew me but my job situation didn't improve. Anyway that was years ago. Racism is real, I have seen it in several colours. Funny I am returning to that firm in a few months but now not as a cleaner but an external consultant similar to a director's position. A lot of people are going to go crazy. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I find it demeaning when people on here call the OP a liar for posting his own experience, YES there is Racism and it's everywhere, just because you've lived there and married doesn't mean there aren't racists, maybe you only chose to ignore them or haven't witnessed it at its peak but am quite sure if you've lived there for long you would have or met people who have. Even in big cities, I had my first big experience in Berlin of all places in Germany where we were pushed out of our Hotel and later got apologized to, after reading TripAdvisor reviews about them, I knew I shouldn't have stayed there. Or was it my friend's experience in the big city of Hamburg where a guy walked up to them right at the train station and called them Monkeys telling them to go back to their stinking Africa. Or was it my friend who was called a Monkey by his supervisor not knowing he understood German, he stopped working that day and management decided to pay him full for the day and offered apologies because they don't want problems. Another is my friend who got punched by an Eastern European because he doesn't like blacks (case still pending and we're waiting for settlement which is cash). So Yes there is Racism everywhere but my view is that it's more common among white people who aren't so enlightened and probably haven't traveled far. #SAYNOTORACISM 6 Likes |

PunterTim:Bro., dat's d problem wt Africans. Why shld one feel bad wen called 'black' wen u shld be feeling proud? Does a white man feel embarrassed wen called white? No! He actually takes pride and dominance from it and uses it to oppress d so called black just because d latter feel inferior about his colour. You have d black race today stuggling to prove a point to others, and this is actually making them look pathetic and helpless which others capitalise on to embarras d black. 1 Like 1 Share |

codemaniacs: Ok, if Kenya is that bad can you show me an incidence where Kenyans are being executed in Indonesian jails for drug peddling, where a Kenyan is languishing in an indian jail for 419 scam, where a Kenyan is deported from another country for involvement in money laundering, where a Kenyan is reported to have tried to rape his/her host. If you show me then i will withdraw and apologies!! Otherwise shut up and stop supporting the indefensable!!! |
