    Then you didnt do any reading then. There’s a reason ppl want to piss on Margaret Thatcher’s grave. Plus you got economic colonialist France and Spain’s dictatorship ending in the 70s. Also the amount of blackface they claim that totally isnt racist. Fuck Zwarte Piet

    Europe is like Canada, they just have good PR. There’s a fuckton of skeletons in their closet and they havent changed as much as ppl like to think. Im an black American living in Germany and I clocked immediately its exactly the same as America. They just dont say the quiet parts outloud as often

      You also don’t ‘currently’ have to worry about your kids being abducted from school by ICE in Germany. The quiet part out loud was annoying, but the shit actually happening is horrifying.

      The lack of racial diversity in Europe is what makes it look like there isn’t as much racism as in the US. There just isn’t as much opportunity for the racists to be racist.

      Side question for a black person in Germany: is “black music” a common term in Germany? I was on a bus going from Freiburg to Strasburg and saw a poster for a bar playing “Black Music” on Friday nights. I didn’t know if that was supposed to mean rap or jazz or blues or what.

        Black music usual just means afrobeats. In this particular case “black music” advertisements usually means the club or party is full of fat white chick’s looking for African dudes
