you will draw attention to that apartment, more than if you were white foreigner.

give me a break! it still is racism. why will i draw attention? cause i'm black. but i do love the attention though. everywhere i go people stare at me like they saw a demigod. feels good though cause i love attention ;). it's your problem. i'm happy to be black. if i had the option to choose a skin colour i would still choose to be black without even thinking. sometimes i feel poland is like that little village in europe but i still do love the bigos :D :D

Life / some poles play the Race games best! [38]

Polish people are well within their rights to complain against discrimination.

you keep contradicting yourself. poles can complain right? and i can't?

there are plenty of racist Poles indeed but fighting back is not a wisest thing to do

so someone spits on me in the street. i'm assuming you're polish. what would be the wisest thing for me to do? look at him and walk away?

hell no. i'll punch the **** out of his face! plus my friend was even keeping his cool and TRYING to stop the fight! he was telling me to calm down

he didn't fight. but one guy just drew a knife and stabbed him. this doesn't make sense. why didn't they stab me instead. i was the one delivering punches

to 2 other guys. they just find a weaker person and then attack him. well fyi, i'm not weak. and anytime i meet them, if they do something stupid. i'll fight them.

I will tell you what I think imano, you are Igbo I base this on your username which would translate to " you know. "

hmmm. i'm black. fact. but what makes you think i'm even african? :/ "imano" is the wrong spelling of the first letters of my real name, which is not even african and you tell me about igbo people.

Language / How many tenses can be used for "pojechac" [24]

Merged: Is the Polish tense right in this sentence?

udało mi się uniknąk mandatu.

or maybe there's a better way of saying "i succeeded in dodging being fined"

@Wulkan i meant people on the street can insult me. and yeah, i'm from and English-speaking country. makes some sense now? so if all is clear, now tell me this is nothing to do with skin colour nor is it racism. you tell me Wulkan. i want to hear your take on this.

@Wulkan: the tenant wrote the letter. not the landlady. i don't know if she mentioned anything to her concerning my skin colour. which obviously the girl would write to me about! common sense. all i want to say to you is. on the phone, i spoke polish with the landlady, she was very nice, gave me time and a date to go see the room. it's clear on the phone she didn't know i'm black. fine. now i went to the house, the tenant showed me the room and the LATER told me the landlady said she doesn't want to rent the room to foreigners. when earlier on the phone i had told her i'm not polish! come on guys!

I would like to see the letter. Can you post it in the "Speak Polish" > "Language" section?

on the phone she knew i'm a foreigner cause i told her where i'm from except she didn't expect me to be black. :). well i don't care. i told so many racial stories and this adds up to everything i wrote. most important to me is the stabbing on my friend. that woman can keep her room! i get to be with my gf regardless of what her parents say, people can insult me. i don't care! but don't stab my friend with a knife.

i'm glad there are really normal and wise people here on this forum like jon357.
what could i possibly do to another girl i share a house with if i know she has a boyfriend and she knows i have a gf? that's even if i was going to live with a girl in the first place. ok. i understand they don't want to rent a room to a foreigner. their problem. there are so many rooms in wroclaw.

There's a very short time period to get a doctor's report (obdukcja) on injuries if it's a police matter.

well 3 of the guys were arrested. 1 took to his heels and vanished. my friend was in the hospital, got treated and is now home. the police said they'll call one of us. if they don't i'm going to be really pushy about this and report this everywhere possible.

@Brzenczyszczyki:

the iq part wasn't even about you haha. but ok.
and i keep saying SOME. i know some great poles and i really like them.
they spat on us (for no reason, well obviously cause we're black). then i did the same thing!! then there was a fight. they got a knife. stabbed my friend.

of course when i'm walking in town people insult me. say nasty things to me. that's ok. i don't care. and i don't react. but dare you not touch me. they spat on me.

they got their fair share of punches from me. but too bad my friend is not as hard as me. but i did teach 2 of them a lesson so i'm happy...just not happy about my friend.

:)

@Brzenczyszczyki: i didn't say ALL people in poland are like that if you read the subject of this thread i wrote "SOME poles..." :). and be polite to who? the forum members or to my gf's parents (who have no intention of seeing me at all, i can't even meet them. they don't know me). ok. so the accommodation problem is not about my colour. fine. my gf's parents is not about my colour. good. now what about the stabbing of my friend with a knife and they spitting on us?

@Wulkan: there is a female tenant who is going to MOVE OUT on 1.08.2014!! so i'll occupy her room. in fact the are two girls in 2 rooms who are both moving out. and 2 boys moving in. me, and some Damian guy (polish). the landlady agreed to sign a contract with Damian. but not with me :D. i have a gf why should i stay with another girl??? :/

"One day if you get hit by a lightening it will be because you are black isn't it? I see you mastered playing racial card to the perfection, keep up the good work." = ?????

you're polish, naturally you'll defend them so i'm not surprised. and you tell me i mastered playing the racial card? you should see a doctor.

well i'm happy. if my gf parents don't want me. i don't care! if the landlady doesn't want to give me her room, i don't give a flying ****! BUT the only case i care is when these bastards spat on us and stabbed my friend. that's when i start to worry. and you couldn't even tell that smile was sarcastic. your iq is quite low.

i wanted to rent a room. i called the landlady and on the phone she was so nice and cool. so i went to check the room today. but one of the tenants was there. i checked the room and it was ok. she told the landlady about my visit and upon the landlady knowing i'm black, this is the email i got from the tenant:

***
Please provide English translation
***

is this an advanced form of racism? the poland is very good at it. seriously. recently i posted a thread about my gf's parents not wanting to accepting me cause i'm black.

like that wasn't enough. just this past saturday i went out with my friend and 4 guys stabbed him! :o there was a fight cause they spat on us. check the pictures below.

Law / My package (postal) is being held at Zabrze, how can I get it released? [4]

So I had my uncle send me a phone from USA through USPS which works with Poczta Polska I believe. I kept checking the tracking number and realised that the item goes through customs clearance twice each day. My uncle asked me to call Poczta Polska and they told me item is "zatrzymywany węzeł ekspedycyjno-rozdzielczy w zabrzu". The item is marked as a "gift" and they don't want to release the device. I keep calling them and no one picks up, at some point the phone is busy but no one ever picks my call. This is not normal but has anyone had problems like this and what can I do to get my item.

Woman at Poczta Polska told me maybe they need some "faktura" but how can a gift have that? Why don't they want to release my package?

Do they even know what's in the package? If yes, do they have the right to open it without my consent or presence?

Law / Pepper Spray Legality in Poland [9]

I'm a young black male studying in Poland. I've been in Poland for approximately 2 years now and I live in Wroclaw.

When I go out at night I usually meet some racists and people who are unhappy that I'm black and living in this country.

I don't know why but that's their problem. My problem is I can't own a gun or any weapon when some of these guys get

really out of control.

Few days ago, I was attacked by one bouncer in Pasaz Niepolda. I was standing outside [Just STANDING!!] when one bouncer
walked towards me and started screaming shouting stuff like "wypierdalaj stąd..." I COMPLETELY ignored him so he felt he
was talking to a brick wall. I didn't react. I realised the other bouncers where standing just few meters away waiting for me to

react so we can start a fight. But that's not what I want. I don't want to fight anyone over stupid reasons like they're black, green or blue.

This bouncer pushed really hard expecting I'd fall trying to provoke me. Then he hit me REALLY hard in the face that
for a couple of hours I couldn't feel my face. That has be my first real physical attack in Poland. Usually they insult me...but I don't

care about that.

Is it legal for me to have a pepper spray with me here in Poland. Will I need any permission to use it. And if in self-defence, I spray

some ****, will I have problems with the law?

I don't want to hurt anyone, just in the same way I would hate someone to hit me for NO REASON.

thanks a lot :). So if i replaced "pomowic" with "porozmawiac", would the sentence still have made the same sense?

Language / Pomówić usage [5]

I'm reading this grammar book and came across this sentence:

"Jesteś moim studentem już od trzech lat. Możemy więc pomówić szczerze."

I checked the meaning of "pomówić" = slander, accuse.

The meaning doesn't fit. Could it be that the book is not using the word "pomówić" right or it has another meaning? If it does, I want to know.

Thanks.

Language / jeśli OR jeżeli [13]

so what's the difference between these 2 words:

jeśli and jeżeli

??

:D.

i see both words often and i understand them both to mean "if"...but i'm not sure which is "more formal" or whatever...i just don't get the difference :).

Study / Good math book (math analysis) in English? Computer sciense study in Poland. [5]

yeah you know. i do this. but sometimes they are teaching something in polish, they say something, and there's nothing like that in English with google translator!! and it's hard to find out what they are talking about :(. so i end up not knowing. i know math is the same everywhere.

in my lectures, sometimes they say somethings that i can't find English translation for. and it's hard to find what they are talking about.

Language / i don't understand this, "rozmawianO" and "pitO"? [18]

you guys are very brilliant. you're teaching me a lot!

but i don't understand why the polish language is so difficult!

just about 2 days ago...our mathematics analysis professor didn't know if she should use "oba" or "oboje" when she was teaching us!! and she's a Polish doctor :).
