Life / I AM BLACK. SHOULD I MOVE TO POLAND? [107]
Hi Primo,
I would like to say first of all that I like Blingin am a little disappointed with the picture that you have painted of black people. Yes me too as I am black British of Jamaican parentage, so I was a wee bit offended.
Black people have it hard enough, with the media paining such a negative picture of us. I am university educated so are many of my black friends, we work hard have dreams and aspirations like everyone else and we are working towards our goals. All the traits negative and positive know to mankind can be found in all cultures and nationalities, I am sure that you are intelligent enough to be aware of this……think I will leave things there for now.
On a positive note I think that you should go Poland with an open mind, racism is everywhere, even here in the UK maybe not as pronounced as other countries, but it IS here. Whether individuals like it or not people will always migrate and travel, which is a fantastic thing and an education in itself.
I am hoping to travel to Krakow soon and alone, I am aware that some people will stare at me, as I am not a common site. I may even encounter racism, as long as no one tries to kill me because I’m black that’s cool………..
Be brave, you have the love of a good woman and with that you can climb mountains, however, we all know that everywhere you go life is the same with ups and downs negative and positive experiences…..
Take care!
