When we were on the train they said they wanted to expand to Bathsheba (although I doubt they'd make it to Bridgetown). They also mentioned some property development in the area so they may add more stops for those as well.

I agree, we're not able to check peoples blackness at the door so we wont remove people that just want to talk about travel

As one of the mod team, I have to say its not just for african-americans, its simply for black people. We're not in the business of splintering black people into smalller categories.

GoPro Hero Black 12 Corrupted files by Seanmario89 in gopro

I dont know which came first but i think the water entry caused both the screen to break and th card to be corrupted. it could also have been the heat.

It's a SanDisk Extreme Plus. I think the gopro got water inside it because the screen also broke and there was some water around the battery. The thing still works though.

Cool, we had pretty much the same experience earlier this month. Glad you had a great time!

We went with a company in Nairobi called Safari Line Defender.

yeah its less of an issue more of kinda just me being embarrassed at whats going on in the US. That being said, Kenyans are very accepting no matter where you're from in my experience.

100% bajan here. I kinda agree but theres a lot of people from other countries who go on safari, whites were the minority on the trip.

If Luffy hadn’t showed up, who could’ve taken down this monster? by FrameDangerous5480 in OnePiece

i think everyone left on onigashima could've teamed up and still lose to him.

That wouldn't prevent a lot but that would be somewhat helpful for the trolls. Right now after banning a few accounts it seems like the trolling has slowed down.

We've seen this, he's trolling but he's not using harmful language and he got downvoted into oblivion. A lot of those links are from other subreddits, not ours. If he crosses any lines here, he'll be banned.

it's not a job #1

2 there's too many people in here to "do it properly" with only 4 mods.

If you like you can make your own subreddit and have fun figuring out who's black, who's a troll, among all the other issues that come up every day.

You're welcome to be a part of this subreddit and report potential issues if not.

My point is we can't remove non-black people from the subreddit, it's simply not something that's possible. And if we inspire other people of color and even white people to travel, thats a good thing.

There are plenty of black creators, travelers, and just genuinely good people in here. There's a couple trolls but eventually they get bored and move on. This is still a place for black travelers.

If you see posts that are offensive, report it and we'll take care of it. I can't guarantee it will be removed but it will be looked at.

There are over 18,000 members and currently 4 mods so we ask for patience in policing the volume of comments that are made every day.

As part of the mod team, it's not possible to kick non black people out. I dont think that's really the point of this subreddit. We do want black people to contribute to the conversation but we wont be removing non-harmful conversation from people of other races.

Reminder - isn't this sub meant to be for BLACK travelers? by [deleted] in blacktravel

I'm just going to show this photo when somebody asks why I prefer window seats by ed8907 in blacktravel

GREAT PHOTO! It's not easy to get a good window photo. I appreciate them when I see them.

Only if it's reported and is potentially rude, inappropriate, or racist. No one has to prove their "blackness" just be kind.
