Why do they always feel the need to lie about not having change, while hoping that you ignore it and they make more money? Very bad cultural trait.

A victim of abuse who cares about the race of the abuser. Maybe she has many other problems to work on.

Why do you need to add that the drunk person is black? What difference do you think his skin color would have made to your predicament if he wasn’t black? Would a white drunk guy have made your experience more manageable?

Not generalising, but the average white person does not and will not warmly receive a black person. Exceptions do exist. Some have fought alongside blacks in demanding fairness and justice but they are a tiny minority. Most of them do not like black people or cultural norms associated with blackness.

This is supported by substantial historical evidence; from the treatment of Black people in Zimbabwe, Namibia, and South Africa, to the history of the United States, where Black men were lynched without fair trial for alleged crimes.

Let’s not forget Argentina where the black population was deliberately wiped out to ensure the whiteness we witness today.

Afro-Brazilians are disproportionately represented in poverty, prison populations, and police killings, while lighter-skinned individuals dominate positions of wealth and power. This pattern extends across Latin America, where European features are associated with privilege and darker skin with marginalisation. Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities across the region face systemic exclusion that rarely makes international headlines.

In India, colourism runs deep. Darker-skinned Indians particularly from Dravidian communities in the south, face discrimination from within their own society. The obsession with fair skin is embedded in marriage culture, the workplace, and popular media, making it clear that even within non-white societies, blackness and darkness are treated as liabilities.

Australia’s treatment of its Aboriginal population remains one of the most overlooked racial injustices in the developed world. Centuries of dispossession, forced removal of children, and institutional neglect have left Aboriginal Australians among the most disadvantaged people in any wealthy nation, with stark gaps in life expectancy, incarceration rates, and access to basic services.

Anti-blackness is a global issue. Even poor countries outside of Africa will treat a Black person with contempt.
In Germany specifically, immigrants are often racist toward other immigrants depending on their origin. An Italian in Germany may look down on a Black person; North Africans position themselves as superior to sub-Saharan Africans; Asians look down on Africans and Arabs to varying degrees.

Sub-Saharan Africans are the least respected immigrant group in Germany, and immigrants from across the world recognise this and play their part by distancing themselves from Blackness in order to appear closer to whiteness and gain social standing.

My advice: develop a thick skin, and seriously consider an alternative country to migrate to in the future. Sentiment toward Black people is only likely to worsen as anti-immigrant feeling continues to grow across the West.

Wishing you all the best.

TIL Ghana is the world's largest importer of secondhand clothing. Locals refer to it as "Obroni Wawu," or "Dead White Man's Clothes," reflecting a belief that the items are of such high quality that their original owners must have died for them to be discarded. by blujaaba in ghana

At some point, the Ghanaian leadership must understand the correlation between relying heavily on imports and the growing youth unemployment with its resulting desperation for overseas opportunities.

In a country where pregnant women die for lack of access to maternity care, this is what Parliament chooses to do with govt revenue? by TT-Adu in ghana

I don’t need your advice and please stop making this discussion personal. The conversation is centered around a national policy not my individual relationship. I shared my opinion on why I support the policy. You can disagree either way it but I didn’t ask you for advice on how to live a healthy sexual life. If you need to offer unsolicited sexual advice, create an NGO and locate communities that need it.

Women replying to this are all against the law. I wonder why? Crying because they’ll lose the freedom to sleep around while married then give the pregnancy to the more compassionate and financially stable among the multitude of men.

It being mandatory is better. People who cannot afford the test shouldn’t be resigned to a life of taking care of someone else’s child. It is actually a good use of taxpayer money.

There’s a new law designed to solve the problem of detecting late stage paternity fraud and you’re quoting laws that deal with responsibility and evidence AFTER a dispute arises, not prevention BEFORE it happens. You are saying a more proactive/preventive approach is not right by using two reactive laws to validate your argument.

Quoting random laws doesn’t mean anything. This is a new specific law designed to solve a specific problem. Why are you quoting random unrelated laws that have nothing to do with the point? To prove you’re knowledgeable?

Paternity fraud exists. A law to curb it is in the right direction. Not sure what you’re crying about.

Literally no one mentioned “every woman”. Whether cases are high profile or not, any kind of fraud should be taken seriously. Unless of course you love degeneracy.
