Default Being A Visible Minority in Russia


This especially focuses on blacks.

Part I



Part II



Please comment on the video...no wild speculation from those who have never lived in Russia. Thanks.


Most is most interesting was the attitude under Communism as promoted by the state.

I read a book about a black American who moved to Russia as a student before WWII and spent the next 30+ years trying to escape back to America. He studied mechanical engineering in Moscow.
When he left he said the racism he experienced in Russia was less than he experienced in the South of America, but he said it changed, it got worse as time went on (I guess after Stalin's propaganda and his usefulness to it ended). He then said that when he came back to America in the 1970's America had changed so much he did not recognize it.

His autobiography is called:

Black on Red: My 44 Years Inside the Soviet Union, by Robert Robinson

He described Russian racial attitudes at the time in great detail over a long period, quite an interesting book.

After watching this, I ask myself "Why"?

Blacks in Russia are not known for causing a lot of problems, most crime by foreigners is committed by Asians and Caucasus people. To me it seems quite barbaric that people can't walk the streets or take the train, even in the daytime...that's insane. That is worse than America was during Jim Crow in 1920 or 1940...the average black man could definitely walk down the street in the South and likely not be attacked UNLESS he broke a "rule" like stared at a white woman, refused to step off the side walk for a white woman, entered a establishment for "whites" through the front door, used the "white water fountains" as backward and ignorant as that may sound. In 2010, you have blacks in Russia who can't even go off a college campus. :-O

I went to Russia the first (and only) time in 1996. I went with my ex-girlfriend to Moscow. People stared (sometimes hard and nasty) but no one ever was threatening. I never felt in danger, that I can remember.

So this situation,from reading the book above, to watching the videos, seems to have studly gotten worse.


1) Is this observation accurate
2) If so, why?

That's because you are black. Black = evil and darkness. That's why they started at you.

If black is evil and darkness, why do university graduates wear it? have they become "evil" with their education. LOL

Can you actually comment on the video or shut your stupid fucking childish mouth?

You are not remotely funny or cute and just ruin the thread.

interesting stuff..not often you see Docs from inside Russia...

but they said that Russia fought to destroy Nazism during WW2 which is incorrect, they fought because Hitler broke their agreement and invaded Russia..

That's rough about that mulatto kid drawing himself white. Sad to see that.

While I find this sort of violent hooliganism to be deplorable, maybe immigrants should take heed and rethink moving there. As the lady said in closing, the society has passively allowed this.

Go to western Europe where it's ultra PC and full of immigrants already.

Unless your governments start enforcing your view point or your citizens begin acting like these Russians while your society passively allows it you don't seem to have a choice.

I'm not promoting it, it was more tongue in cheek, but it's fact.

I agree on the comments the neo-nazi made about rap: it's a shitty form of music that glorifies drugs, violence, "bitches and hoes" and all the negative aspects of society.

So then how do you feel about any rap music which does glorify any of that? I mean it definitely exists and isn't exactly rare.

Well does Norway have a lot of immigrants? I was referring mostly to the typical immigrant basins of western Europe (France, Spain, Italy, England, Germany).

NOt all rap is like that. You are just too ignorant to know any other genre of rap.

Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Common
Kanye West
Kid Kudi
Lupe Fiasco
B.O.B.

All have sold millions of CDs and don't rap about that stuff. Then again you wouldn't know as you likely can't even understand what they are saying.

You should listen to this:

"New World Water"

[Mos Def]
There's nothing more refreshing (that cool refreshing drink)
Than a cool, crisp, clean glass of water
On a warm summer's day (That cool refreshing drink)
Try it with your friends

New World Water make the tide rise high
Come inland and make your house go "Bye" (My house!)
Fools done upset the Old Man River
Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead nigga
Now his belly full and he about to flood somethin
So I'ma throw a rope that ain't tied to nothin
Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since
it's the New World Water; and every drop counts
You can laugh and take it as a joke if you wanna
But it don't rain for four weeks some summers
And it's about to get real wild in the half
You be buying Evian just to take a fuckin bath
Heads is acting wild, sippin poor, puffin dank
Competin with the next man for higher playin rank
See I ain't got time try to be Big Hank,
Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank
Cause while these knuckleheads is out here sweatin they goods
The sun is sitting in the treetops burnin the woods
And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higher
They say, "Don't drink the water! We need it for the fire!"
New York is drinkin it (New World Water)
Now all of California is drinkin it (New World Water)
Way up north and down south is drinkin it (New World Water)
Used to have minerals and zinc in it (New World Water)
Now they say it got lead and stink in it (New World Water)
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Push the water table lopside
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause oil tankers spill they load as they roam cross the sea
Man, you gotta cook with it, bathe and clean with it (That's right)
When it's hot, summertime you fiend for it (Let em know)
You gotta put it in the iron you steamin with (That's right)
It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with (Shout it out)
The rich and poor, black and white got need for it (That's right)
And everybody in the world can agree with this (Let em know)
Consumption promotes health and easiness (That's right)
Go too long without it on this earth and you leavin it (Shout it out)
Americans wastin it on some leisure shit (Say word?)
And other nations be desperately seekin it (Let em know)
Bacteria washing up on they beaches (Say word?)
Don't drink the water, son they can't wash they feet with it (Let em know)
Young babies in perpetual neediness (Say word?)
Epidemics hopppin up off the petri dish (Let em know)
Control centers try to play it all secretive (Say word?)
To avoid public panic and freakiness (Let em know)
There are places where TB is common as TV
Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy
The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line
Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five
Now the world is drinkin it
Your moms, wife, and baby girl is drinkin it
Up north and down south is drinkin it
You should just have to go to your sink for it
The cash registers is goin "cha-chink!" for it
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Got the fish lookin cockeyed
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause it's all about gettin that cash (Money)

Said it's all about gettin that cash (Money) [x9]
Johny cash (Money)
Roseland cash (Money)
Give me cash (Money)
Cold cash (Money)
[Repeat to fade]

Cash rules everything around me,
Move! The thing is most young males like to listen to violent shit with bitches and drinking, so they buy it and that is what gets media attention, however that is not all there is too rap.

What did you expect? american/western media is usually on the bs when it comes to Eastern Europe and Russia. I don't get what's so ironic about those people being "nazi",they choose it on their own free will while Russia became USSR by force. Maybe the reporter should have barked about how 'ironic' the "slavic hating nazis" were using ukrainians,belarus slavs and white russians in their armies against the USSR.

On the side note I feel for those mixed kids,they have no fault.
