What's it like to be black in Japan?

[Big Boda]

The dude ain't interested.

Thats actually his brother in law they cool.

Heres another vid of him chillin eatin watermelon with his japan fam over there


Wish i could go right now

Lol the way he voicing his frustrations at American society is funny

 

[Reginald Noble]

Woman in the video talking about shes worried about what her halfu child will have to go through when she's growing up

And they'll have to deal with discrimination in America as well. Do you think a Blasian girl will be accepted by her full Black female peers? Nope.

 

[Stir Fry]

How could @Tommy Knocks not be in this thread yet?

Maybe because he's in China and not Japan?


edit: Looks like his plane just touched down.

Then maybe she should have just married and hooked up with you know... a Black Man... in a Black country

Okinawa the racial tensions are bad due to the history and the military base. They don't like CACs either. As long as you aren't an army boy you won't get much attitude.



Now I am going to try and have an open dialogue with people like you who have this perspective on the Coli. If you want to have a conversation I am open to it but if you are gonna be like TL;DR then whatever. We can agree to disagree. Hopefully one of your compatriots will eventually read this and see the light:

So it's been tried before. Numerous individuals such as Tariq and Dr. Umar Johnson along with Tommy are trying to open our people's eyes but nobody want to see or listen. They want to critique every move these nikkas make but not contribute a dime. Look at that whole Conscious stripper fiasco. nikka Tariq and Dr. Umar building and funding Black schools and programs and all Black Women care about is some hoes they fukking. nikkas who would be down for the movement observe this and throw up their hands (rightfully so) because look at the amount of posters in TLR vs. The Root.

You can say "Be part of the solution" but really it's like trying to fight a wave. I ain't trying to drown. Just go with the wave. I see how it turns out for Pro-Blacks and Hoteps and usually they are miserable which is why I don't advocate for that perspective. I am more Pan-African than most but from a practical standpoint it doesn't look like we can rise as a people. It is most definitely a cultural problem and the problem is people don't like to change their culture. Not even the bad parts of it. So if you are young Black and want to succeed often times the only way to do it is to move OUT of our community. I'd love for you to provide an example of the statistics of brothers who remained in the community and succeeded just off our own money. I guarantee you they will be few and far between compared to those who left.

Are you with a nonblack woman?

That doesn't work for some brothers.

Yes she is born in Taiwan but her parents are Japanese.

Wouldn't mind living there.

The only thing stopping me would be the language barrier and the fear of them tsunamis and earthquakes they seem to get every couple months.

When I went last May I was there during an earthquake. I trembled off the bed at like 2am in the night. I thought i was just really faded from drinking that night until I saw the news the next morning

 

[Sterling Archer]

I'll find out next summer

Really? Whats bringing you out there? I was supposed to be going next week. Things change and life's a mofo though.

 

[Mike Ock]

I had not only a great time there, Tokyo is my favorite city in Asia. Amazing experience, I still think about the place every week. If it wasn't so damn expensive and houses being so small (no bang for your buck), I would live there.

I'm kinda claustrophobic and those boxes they live in but thats why most people spend their time enjoying the city outdoors.

Tokyo as a city is just damn

Yo did u ever go to the Hooters out there. Not sure how many there are out there but I was able to separate from my girls and went to one .Shoulda been called no-hooters. They also did some silly ass dance dunno if it was a certain time everyday or just every hr. But the waitresses did like a dance routine to some pop song. Manager kept looking at me like he was pimping them. I also felt smooth as fuk when I went to the blue-note jazz club out there. They prolly was expecting me to play something. Dudes were very attentive to me and my girl.

So are you and your husband both active still or just him and the family is moving there?

My ex and I breaking up ruined our trip plans. We were gonna stay with her mom's family since her mom hadn't been back since she came to the states 24yrs ago.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Bet she prolly real soft & caring wit it too.

 

[Wario]

I don't really like Japanese culture or society much but I think it'd be an interesting experience to visit as a tourist.

I swear I've seen a "x country loves black tourist" thread for every nation except a predominantly black one

And of course anyone who isn't jumping at the chance to move to a country with virtually no other black people is someone who "never left the hood" according to coli Marco polos. I sorry I don't want to be a special snowflake or a token negro.
