There are some white Americans that will leave a place when they hear that you're from Africa because they feel that you're a disease carrier. In UK. they will be scared of walking close to you or sitting near you on a Bus or Train because they feel you might try, to steal from them, in Canada they will frustrate you with hard core office politics, Read more stories from Q-u-o...

On a vacation to San Sebastián in Spain, myself and some Indian and Latino friends went to this restaurant and we were told that they have closed.

We carried ourselves to a different restaurant and about an hour later on our way back, the first restaurant was still very open serving guests.

Then it dawned on us. We’ve just become the latest victims of racism. It was my very first time... it didn’t feel good. I can imagine what it’d feel like to be faced with that 2 or 3 times in a month.
In some countries in Europe, most restaurant close on less rush hours mostly before and after lunch (lunch is 12pm - 2pm) and reopen later in the evening, so it might also be that or as you said.

It was as I said. It was a fast food restaurant, not the dining type restaurant.

I experienced it few days ago. One white was shouting at me to go back to Africa, they don't like us here blah blah and that same day a white was helping me. The whole time she was shouting I wanted to answer but I just realized that laughing at her was better.

This is the truth. Our countries are unadulterated shitholes which is why we run to foreign lands to begin with. How do you expect to be truly respected as a people? Racism is bad and its unfair on an individual level but if you understand humans then you would understand why the black man is looked down upon by every other race. Our civilization is embarrassing. And it's anything but civilized.

You always have to prove yourself as a black person abroad because your fellow black people home and abroad have tarnished your reputation to bits. It's the same way we all look down on the abokis and Hausas here in the Southwest. South. Everyone's reputation precedes them. You are no different.
the whole south not only the SW

PLS TREAT AS URGENT.
Hi guy..
need your candid advise.
I'm a Medical doctor wanting to do Masters in
Nursing in Australia.
I'd like to know if masters in nursing is a good idea cos I heard they have more job opportunities.
And if I'm thru with Masters in nursing can I be a registered nurse being that I am a DOCTOR.
Also can I stay in Australia for years to work even without been a permanent resident long after my studies.
Thanks in advance.
