Its funny to me that people are so shook of Europe on here....its no more racist there than walking through a typical cac neighbourhood in the states. Less chance of getting shot too since no one carries guns
. U might get looks here and there but thats out of ignorance of not having seen a lot of black people more than outright cism

The ones that are have never been. Those who are well traveled, wouldn't be shook.Its funny to me that people are so shook of Europe on here....its no more racist there than walking through a typical cac neighbourhood in the states. Less chance of getting shot too since no one carries guns

Exactly
Sometimes people are just shocked an African American made it to the other side of the world. This is the second safest place I've ever lived in my life.
Never saw Slovenia being discussed on the board at all..most people in America know very little about it or have seen any parts of it. Has nothing to do with race to me or encouraging people to move necessarily, just thought itd be interesting for people to see.
Quite possibly. The younger generation seemed cool and really liberal/open minded but it has had fairly strict citizenship/immigration policies and isnt very diverse. Not to mention most of the people there grew up in the Soviet bloc. There was a rastahman on the boardwalk at Lake Bled and I talked to him a bit and he said he really loved the area but was kindaat times about the people. My friend, his friends and family were all accepting and not racist at all though (at least not that i could tell in any conversations or anything). They werent randomly slurring different types of people or anything like that. I think being incredibly devout over there keeps a good amount of the populace in overall good spirits with tolerance.
There is an interesting dynamic with Slovenia in general. Not only are they out of USSR influence, but they also got their independence from the breakup of Yugoslavia..and it was so recent that many there really value and cherish freedom/liberty. I think that goes a long way but not with everyone obviously.
You guys just post on here without understand sometimes. For black people everything has to do with race including travel. Safety is a concern as well as other factors. That's why your race was brought up. It relates to the topic when discussed on these boards.
White priviledge allows you to scout out a new living location within eastern Europe and recommend it on here but we don't get to forget we are black and just venture out blindly into the world. We have to have an idea how we will be received. The world can be incredibly ignorant and you wouldn't know it sometimes unless you experience it from someone else point of view.
With that said I still found your post informative and enlightening but I can guarantee a visible minority would have a different experience from yours put in the same situations. You said yourself they haven't experienced a lot of diversity yet since establishing the country and have strict immigration policies.
I have travelled and I'm still not sure bout Eastern Europe...

Well on a more positive note, what are you up to right now? There were rumors that you had moved to Paris, but now you are in Azerbaijan. What happened to Paris
"I did initially move to Paris man. But me and my wife realized quick that Paris is not a place to raise kids. We were at this hotel resort in Paris while they were getting the apartment ready for us. We were gonna live in an apartment while we built a house out there. So we were at the resort and this woman comes up and says “You may want to get your kids out of the pool about seven, because people gonna start taking they clothes off.” And sure enough, seven o’clock comes around and here come people taking they clothes off and getting in the pool. Swimming, all in the sauna. Then I’m watching television about 10:30 at night and fukking come on out of the blue. Just out of the fukking blue, fukking comes on. I’m watching regular television and fukking comes on. I didn’t push any special buttons to order no sex or nothing. So I start pressing buttons and stuff trying to get this shyt off and I call downstairs and I’m like “Hey what’s wrong with this channel?” And the lady starts laughing, “Oh I’m sorry Mr. Dennis, I forgot to tell you that.” This is some regular shyt. They just wide open with that shyt out there. You go up in McDonalds, motherfukkers standing in line tongue kissing in McDonalds. You know my kids are seeing all this shyt so I’m like fukk this shyt. We started searching for another place to live right away that could accommodate all our needs. For me Paris was gonna be my thing where I could deal with the music in Paris, but the very next place that we saw that could fit both of our needs, my wife being an engineer and me doing music and real estate, was Baku, Azerbaijan. The real estate market is big time happening over there right now and you can get in on the front end. Also it’s a much better place to raise kids. They’re at an international school. My son, he’s 5 years old and has 17 kids in his classroom from 14 different countries and my daughter has 20 people in her class from 15 different countries."

You can't assume everyone in Eastern Europe will be the same. There are many different cultures/countries within EE. You go to Turkey, that's Eastern Europe and most of the population is Muslim (same with Bosnia)...you go to Serbia, there's a mix of Orthodox/Muslim. People in Europe fight over religion, not so much race. You'll stand out there as there aren't many black people around, but if you're in a major city, people will have encountered black people, whether those visiting the country or African students studying at the local university. I'm Eastern European and have never witnessed hate towards black people...there is definitely an ignorance though.
