mengho: I am presently living, working and studying for my masters degree in Russia (moscow to be prescise). I walk alone and do my things on my own. I get home anytime even if it's 2 am in the midnight and I have never been harrassed. So I know what I wrote. Ok? As a matter of fact, the worst Racist country in the world is America. Do you know how many racists are in jail here in Russia. In case you don't know we have different kinds of Russians. Have you heard of Kafkas and Skinheads before? You see why I said you should do your investigations and research well before writing what you don't know. Just come to Russia and see how Nigerians are everywhere some are even married to Russian women for over 20 to 30 years and have never complained. 1 Like |

It's shocking man. This is why I did not even bother replying the clown (see directly above your assertion) that quoted me while drawing baseless comparisons to tribalism in NGR. Evidently he is YET TO EXPERIENCE any of such (ditto the many other ignorant views which have toed his dumb line of his reasoning on this thread). You will clearly notice such folks (he and his ilk on here) by their ludicrous pseudo-intellectual positions on the issue. Heck! Comparing Nigerian-brand intra-national tribalism with institutional, overt and covert racism faced by people because of their colour in many parts of the world? Lol bookface: 1 Like |

OP, thank you for this . I had occasion to travel to Moscow in the year 2000 a relative was murdered by the police and dumped in the woods. The racism in Moscow was very real, the Nigerians I spoke to says that they were not able get even menial jobs, If they start a business or buy a home criminal elements / mafia may at time forcefully steal their business or homes if it becomes profitable; so most Africans resort to any hustle they could manage to do to survive. Even if they decide to go home they would not allow them to carry any money or anything of value. The Russians often allow resident Africans to go with only some clothes. One person who decided to return home eventually was only allowed to go home with a single plastic grocery carrier bag. On a crowded train somebody punched my arm and my sister who I was on the train with later told me that she was punched in the back on the same train ride when I was telling her how somebody punched my arm as we left the train at our stop. Moscow was a beautiful city infrastructure-wise but the Russian racism spoilt it. It couldn't wait to leave Russia. ERONX: |

We blacks are the worst racist I've ever seen. When we see the white, was celebrate it, tend to give more reference to them while we spite our fellow black. I had a bitter experience of that while at work on a deep offshore rig, where the overall crew lead ( a Nigerian) kept talking to this Trainee U.S citizen who was junior to me. It was obvious the white guy wasn't interested in the lead yet the lead guy kept talking to him. The worst part of it was that the lead was afraid of assigning tasks to him, while he expects me to do, especially all the manual job. I'd just carry to guy along in the Name of ' this is how you learn and grow on the job'. I enjoyed the drama. Finally, you dare not call the lead guy by his first name ( of which the modus operandi for a multinational company like ours was calling Everybody by the first name). You just have to put 'Oga *****' or you'll find your name on the chopper manifest the next day. Let's stop racism again ourselves first!!! |

beautyerhu86: I was born in Moscow in 1961. My dad was a Cuban revolutionary who came to Moscow to study philosophy. He fought with Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in Cuba; when I turned one, he went to fight with Che in Bolivia. I only saw him once. My mum, my brother and I lived in a very small communal flat in Moscow. When I was five, my mum got very ill. She was taken to hospital, and me and my brother were sent to a children’s home. We spent three years there. When I started school my mum took us back. My childhood was not easy, but I have always been proud of being black. Growing up I got a lot of attention, and a lot of it was not good. Russia is quite a chauvinistic country. They don’t like black people here. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/15/black-in-the-ussr-whats-life-like-for-a-russian-of-colour |

davidif: Did you read this part in my comment: Have you heard of Kafkas and Skinheads before? You see why I said you should do your investigations and research well before writing what you don't know. Just come to Russia and see how Nigerians are everywhere some are even married to Russian women for over 20 to 30 years and have never complained. A typical Russian citizen will never bully or even abuse you, maybe there are some I haven't come in contact with but the ones I know have business with wealth and money. Yes there is racism in Russia but not by the real Russians. A typical Russian has "blonde hair" and not dark hair or skin heads. Look at the video very well and you will see that those guys are dark headed guys (kafkas). These kafkas are everywhere in the middle east causing troubles. You will also find them in some parts of Germany, Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan etc. Funny enough these people can't have a seat of power in Russia. It's like Africa where we have fulani scattered all over causing troubles for us, that's how kafkas and Skinheads are. Many of them are illiterates compare to the real Russians. Let me pause here for a while. |

beautyerhu86: WOW! Did you even bother to read any of the articles i posted or you are just cherry picking just to win an argument? |
Re: My Racism Experience During A Vacation In Russia by beautyerhu86(f): 9:22am On Oct 16, 2016 |
davidif: I have read many articles long before I left Nigeria so that article isn't new to me. If I may ask, do you know the origin of Fulani in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa? The same question is what people ask about Skinheads and Dark headed (kafkas) in Russia. If you think I am lying ask those living in Germany who are "Skinheads" and ask those who are living in middle east who are also Kafkas, they are the racist you hear of in Russia and other parts of middle East. Ask Google for more information. I dey go tour today. See ya ✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋ |
