The bolded is absolutely true. They're just not brave enough to come out of the closet or brave as Bobrisky to live their truth as females.

cococandy:
The rest of this is your imagination working overtime.

I sound biracial now too

Me that’s always stomping on the behinds of racists and racist apologist folks? Wonders shall never end

cococandy:
Do I know what they do to Africans? They sell them into slavery and human trafficking and more. Do you know what Africans do to Africans?

cococandy:
No I don’t.
Does that change the fact that we are high on the list of corrupt and very violent countries?
They being worse like you said doesn’t mean we get to point fingers. Not in our current situation. That’s my point

cococandy:
Okay
Well they may be worse but I don’t believe we are in a position to be point out how awful they are when our corruption is through the roof and our violence is still phenomenal.

cococandy:
You didn’t add our country to that list. The log in our eye is to big for us to be looking at the speck in west Asias eye

Is grits like kouskous?

Kobojunkiee:
Tastes the same as the potatoes I boil to me. So whether I boil and mash or I microwave flakes, mashed potatoes end products tastes pretty much the same is what I am saying.

Kobojunkiee:
I can make my microwaved stuff, with all those ingredients, in 5 minutes or less and still enjoy the same exact taste.

Kobojunkiee:
I just ate mashed potatoes made using the boxed stuff microwaved with water, garlic, salt and onions for taste, and it tasted just like mashed potatoes would. And I would know since I eat a lot of potatoes all year round. I even use potatoes - sweet or nonsweet - in my beans which I also eat a lot of..

According to the box, the stuff is made using dehydrated potatoes, sodium bisulfite(preservative) and citric acid(also a preservative). No fillers or anything else.

Not really... they are all wayyy more developed than Guyana but when it comes to the rights of Blacks ... no comparison to Guyana... Suriname ... French Guiana ... Belize and Panama.

Brazil is pretty much like the "Jim Crow" era of the US .... Blacks are half humans. Argentina ... land of 'Messi the Great' ... wayyyy worse.

We've knocked on so many doors, almost literally, we have the money, we have the jobs, no criminal background but still we can’t rent a new house or a flat,” he adds. He has no qualms in putting the blame squarely on widespread discrimination “Because we have foreign names.”

“People have told us on the phone, yes, we'll give you the apartment but, in one case, they ghosted us when they heard our names,” says Sully.

Some of those we reach out to are these big housing societies, partly owned by the government. But even they discriminate.”

Sully's wife is training for a job that is likely to take the family on a global jaunt. Sully is also very eager. This could be their golden ticket out of Germany and, perhaps, finally into a bigger house, somewhere else.

Sully Sanon arrived in Germany from Haiti as a 25-year-old to study theology at a seminary in the state of Saxon Anhalt.

“I remember there was a charitable event at the church, we were handing out food parcels and clothing for those in need, and this man came and he accepted our help, but bluntly told me that he didn’t like Black people. It’s not like he was poor or uneducated, he was well-travelled, well-educated but said he just doesn't like Black people. He said it’s just a feeling that he has, at times,” Sully says. Life in Germany has surely tested Sully’s pastoral patience.

The survey looks at 14 aspects of life, and in all of them, respondents affirmatively reported racism and discrimination.

Respondents surveyed further revealed that “over 90 percent had their hair being grabbed without being asked.

over 56 percent saying they are asked if they sell drugs and over 60 percent also reported being stopped and searched by the police for no reason”.

Two-thirds of the respondents to the survey also confirmed that they had received lower grades than other classmates for the same performance at school or university due to racism.

Diplab Basu of Reach Out, an NGO helping victims of racism and discrimination, says that of all racial minority groups, Black people are hit the hardest.
“At school, students and teachers both victimise Black students, they are often marginalised, often punished for trivial issues. Housing is another major issue, we get lots of complaints, almost all of my clients will tell you that they are discriminated against when it comes to housing,” says Basu.

We've given up now, it’s been three years,” recounts Sully, as he narrates the difficulties of finding an apartment in Berlin as a Black person.

Sully lives in Berlin with his Italian-German wife and three children. He is now a pastor in a church.

“The results of the Afrozensus indicate that anti-Black racism is widespread in Germany and anchored in institutions,” a press release of the report said on Tuesday. “There is no area of life in which discrimination and racism are not extensive problems.”

The housing market, security services and the police were identified as areas that are particularly prone to anti-Black discrimination, with over 60% saying it occurs “very frequently.”

The survey also showed that Germany’s Black community was particularly hard hit by the economic effects of the pandemic. Nearly one in seven respondents said they lost their jobs due to the crisis.
