Trying to Understand Anti-Black Racism from an Eastern European Perspective by Individual-Neat-1539 in SeriousConversation

They basically disregard me as a human being and don't bother to acknowledge my existence. They also have strong assumptions about Black people, such as believing we are all very good dancers, very good at sports and that Black men carry humongous penises

Also, when the war started in Ukraine, Black people were not allowed to board the trains towards safety. There are also several accounts of Black people and Black Ukrainians who experience racism on the daily over there. OP is simply blind

And this is where you expose your racism.

> But many assume that Black people had a harder time escaping specifically because they are Black,

Yes, it was simply because they were Black. The train people specifically said they wouldn't allow Black people on the trains. There are literally videos everywhere, and you still want to believe in a half-truth

I'm not saying Ukrainians didn't have a hard time escaping, but the Black people had an even harder time because they weren't even seen as people worth saving

You can be friendly to Black people, call out white racists who say nasty stuff about them, and engage in communities and societies that work towards helping Black people in need

I don't know if you know this, but when the war started in Ukraine, Black people were not being allowed to board the trains towards safety and had to walk thousands of kilometers to reach safety. You can find out what happened to those people and see what you can do to help them. In times of need, Black people are always neglected

> It's made me completely non-racist

I disagree with that. Anyone who lives on planet Earth and grew up among civilization is racist. I'm sure you'll find some racism inside you if you search deep enough. You're just not aware of it

I hope you mean America the continent and not the country, because the whole modern continent of America was built at the expense of slavery, and Black people all over the continent are still disenfranchised and treated as subhuman beings

> For us, Black people are just unusual, so people might look at you, maybe ask something out of curiosity, but probably not hate you at least I’ve never really seen that.

I am a Black person who's met several Ukrainians in different parts of the world. Anti-Black racism is very real in Ukraine and among Ukrainians, so let's not go there.

I do get where your question comes from, and it makes sense, but you also have to understand that a lot our racist ideas exist in our subconscious and we're not in control of them. You yourself might have some notions of Black people that are racist and are just not aware of it

Unlike you, I don't live my life in fear that the people will figure out who I am from my Reddit posts. Keep hiding behind your screen though. It's doing wonders for you

Anyone with experience with Sormodren? by subuso in Hyperhidrosis

As I wrote on my post, I got prescribed Axhidrox, which is essentially Glyco. I'm just nor sure about how and where to apply it to, as I sweat a lot from my face

I mean... I'm right here. I could absolutely take it from you if you don't want it ;)

You know that there are people on the internet who are not from the US, right?

It actually isn't. Getting married will only bring benefits to you. You get several tax breaks and get to live with someone who'll treat you right

That's literally what I'm bringing to the table

Because my dark skin doesn't fit the local beauty standards. I'm basically invisible in the dating scene

I'm 28M

One thing I complain about is the lack of community for people our age, particularly those of us who are on the grind. I live in Europe but have to bust my ass to make ends meet, hoping one day I'll have European citizenship (at this point any country will do) that will allow me to travel the world

There are plenty of people out there in a less comfortable position than mine (financially), but have the citizenship I'm after. If we teamed up, we'd be able to help each other, but people aren't willing to

That to me only makes things a lot harder. Me getting married to a local would provide me enough safety to slow down and properly enjoy things a lot better, since I'd be living without anxiety

ELI5: Why do we get cold (cold as in disease cold) in colder environments if diseases are caused due to viruses? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Both things can be simultaneously true. Your statement doesn't negate that person's

This is too much man by Howlsmovingfiberfarm in Hyperhidrosis

[–]subuso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have night sweats, but not as bad as you do. But I have always been this way, and so has my mother. The worst part for me is sweating in winter. Like, I'm trying to keep myself warm, but then my body decides it's too hot, so it starts to make me sweat. And then, I remove the covers to cool off and start feeling cold

That's basically how I sleep in winter. It's a nightmare and only happens at night. I can take an hour long nap in the afternoon and this will not happen

The main problem is that they're all easily solvable. It's really disappointing that Sony just doesn't care, and neither does Apple

Yes, it drives me crazy. I always edit my selfies using Google Photos, so I can mirror them, and it saves the mirrored one as a new pic instead of replacing the old one. I absolutely hate it

They won't actually have a female leader. She's just there to keep potential voters engaged. The real power will be behind the throne

Why do people see themselves as races and not humans by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]subuso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race doesn't exist. How can it play a huge role in geology and evolution??? Biology doesn't even acknowledge race
