Yes, nostalgia for black people who were so scarce at the time that white guys had to impersonate them. .

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


Deputy Foreign Minister Wawrzyk forced Polish diplomats to issue visas to the immigrants he indicated. Letters with dozens and hundreds of names were sent to consulates. Wawrzyk operated in Asia and Africa - from Istanbul, through Riyadh, Islamabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila and Taipei to Abuja and Dar-es Salam.

The most astonishing story is the story of "Wawrzyk's filmmakers". These are Indians who pretended to be Bollywood crews. One of the groups came to Poland after pressure from the minister and ended up in Mexico, from where they tried to get to the USA. It was the American services that warned the Polish authorities about the illegal immigration channel created by Wawrzyk's people.

Another fond memory of impersonation from the crime comedy Vabank 2. Performance by an excellent comedy actor Jacek Chmielnik who died prematurely in an accident with electricity in his summer house.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]

Polish gov refuses to allow Ukrainian produce, especially grain, be freely imported and sold in the Polish market. Ukrainians may only count on the transit to seaside ports but it isn`t enough due to big needs vs underdeveloped infrastructure.

Ukrainians threaten to take Poland to international courts if the current ban on their import is prolonged unilaterally by the Polish gov.
PiS gov is protecting the Polish farming market from low prices due to cheap Ukrainian grain before the coming elections.

I thought about it a few times and decided that yes, I prefer Konfa to PiS. At least those nationalists have a sound economic approach which I have always supported - I mean zero socialist benefits and support for small business etc.

Besides, when I tell my adult students they need to go to the elections and thank the politicians who sentenced them to years of torture in educational facilities thanks to their rightist party`s failed reforms, who do you think the students will vote for?? Of course for Konfa as a new, fresh and trendy option among all those grandpas who have spent nearly all their lives in politics.

Konfa is a crazy party but at least they won`t be such fekking hypocrites as PiS who invite hundreds of thousands of immigrants and at the same time critisize their own actions and try to put the blame on the opposition.

Yes, I am still one. In fact, I am a paradigm of decent Polish approach to black people. And when I say the Polish TV programme wasn`t blackface mockery, then it wasn`t. Simple. :):):)

American and British, too. It was Brits who first called it a scandal. :):)


Exactly. Whites impersonated blacks coz there weren`t enough original blacks.

I remember a few cases from Polish films. E.g this communist comedy series featured a black character. I mean not black in the script sense but dark skinned. Very positive man who was incessantly shocked and surprised at the communist reality of 1980s.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

PIS politicians refuse to elaborate on the corruption scandal connected with issuing hundred thousands visas to workers from non-European countries. During press conferences, they block independent journalists and switch off their microphones. Amasing gangsters! :):):)

Let me remind you that Poland issued the biggest number of work visas of all EU countries in 2022. After coming to Poland, those foreign workers quickly moved to Western Europe,which, understandably, reacted negatively to it and forced PiS to investigate into the corruption network.

Don`t be surprised if the EU suspends Schengen open borders deal with Poland one day.

PS. BTW, it is reported that the Foreign Minister knew about corruption but kept silent coz PiS received its share from bribes paid for Polish visas. Amasing gangsters!!! :):):)

Blackface performances in TV music programmes are normal in Poland. Political correctness which prevails in the UK or other countries still hasn`t reached us.

A recent programme which indignated Brits:

Singer Kuba Szmajkowski impersonates Kendrick Lamar and is really good at it.

@ClevaDon
I love it, blackface back in the day was wrong because "they" did it with cruel intentions. THIS is admiration and as a black man, I felt complimented because he is clearly impersonating KL from a place of respect

@m.k.7101

Here in Poland it's not considered rasist. Poland has no history of systematic rasism, slavery or colonialism. We don't care what color of your skin is: a black person can imitate white person and white person can imitate black person. This is equality. And please don't call it a blackface because it wasn't meant to make fun of or riddicule anyone.

@debraforte5026
Black face makeup is NEVER NEVER NEVER OK! It is possible to show appreciation for the music without ripping off peoples' appearances and cultures. HIPHOP has been massively influential across the globe (i.e. K-POP) for the last 50 years. That doesn't mean Polish folks can mimic and steal the creative output of a community that has a 400+ year history of being the target of state sanctioned and worldwide predation. On top of all of that, the performance was wack. They did no one proud.

That the original need for a practical windbreaker evolved into splendid isolation area for a typical family on the beach is another matter which results from Polish individualism.

This is Poland - inhabited by various people. During WW2, most were indifferent to Jewish tragedy and did nothing. Some helped and rescued Jews. Some hunted them down and murdered.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

PiS never ceases to introduce Eastern European approach in education. They passed the law requiring schools to hire a psychologist. However, there is a huge shortage of them coz the needs gravely exceed the supply of such professionals. What do school head teachers do then?

A child comes to a psychologist and there is a farming technician. "This is a system failure"

The Ministry of Education, headed by Przemysław Czarnek, has introduced changes in schools that are impossible to implement. These are psychologists and educators who, under the new act, are obliged to be employed by head teachers

. The idea is good, but the problem is that there is a dramatic shortage of these specialists. Directors manage as best they can. - It's come to the point that they employ psychologists and educators over the phone just to have someone, says psychologist Karolina (name changed) anonymously from a small, rural school. - They call their friends and say: take at least two hours.

In the Masovian Voivodeship alone, head teachers are still looking for 480 psychologists, educators and special educators. And it's already mid-September
Schools are doing what they can and - in order to meet the formal requirements - they are making arrangements and dividing the positions.
According to the Polish Trade Union of Psychologists, approximately 350 people work in schools who do not have the appropriate qualifications to perform the profession of a school psychologist.

What does this mean in practice? That if a child who desperately needs help knocks on the door of the school psychologist's office, the answer will be from, for example, a theologian or a farming technician who is just gaining appropriate education

- This is the collapse of the system. It is absurd that a person after three semesters of psychology studies goes to work with a child at school. I wonder if they are not afraid to take on such responsibility at all, says teacher Hanna
