ibkayee: 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. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

[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.

lionness: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. 12 Likes |

Someone7: 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. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

lemon10: 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?

Viciheaka: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 ? 4 Likes |

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. 23 Likes |
