Bubblin' in Dublin
A lot of African Americans and white Americans seem to view Europe as a racist continent or a continent so 'liberal' and 'progressive' that the people completely ignore race. No prizes for guessing which ethnicity sees which.
The truth is somewhere in the middle. There are an awful lot of people that dont give two fukks about race - once you come here and give something back. On the flipside, there are pockets of people and areas were it its unsafe for a non white to spend too much time in. A black doctor saving lifes wouldnt even get a pass.
Some places - totally unsafe. Some places - they will go out of their way to accommodate you.
I started this thread in response to the Italian black minister getting bananas chucked at her. A lot of misconceptions arose. I would hate for one of my brothers or sisters to turn down an opportunity in Europe, due to their fear of the race hate that they would face. There are many of us blacks in Europe posting in chea and I hope some of us could answer questions on what is life like in x European country or city.
