Australia. I know it's a stereotype that it is quite racist here but most people will treat you well regardless of race as we are a pretty liberal country nowadays particularly amongst the youth. Unless you run into our equivalent of 'white trash' you will be fine, and most people here actually idolise black Americans because of popularity of hip-hop and American tv/film/sports
Pretty much all of europe..
Fact is .. US is one of the least racist countries ..
try being black in italy guys .. its no fun
Nah France and Spain are chill af
Bro? What’s wrong with visiting west Africa? They’ve got tourist spots, hotels, nice beaches, etc.
I'm in china rn, if you ever come here expected to get ur personal space invaded multiple times wherever you go (e.g getting your photo taken without your permission or people constantly staring at you and I mean constantly)
You'll also get refused service from anything from taxis to hotels just not taking you in. When I first came here, the guy who helped me get settled didn't get time to book me a place to sleep beforehand for my first night, his first choice of hotel we get declined cause they flat out said they dont take black people
Last year when I came back I waited in a line with several other people to get taxi's, the taxi's would drive up and people would climb into any taxi they see, the first one i saw literally just shook his head when he saw me coming up to his taxi.. so I had to take the one after
I've heard other stories of people getting their hair or skin touched. Also black people are far more likely to get kidnapped and have their organs harvested than any other race of foreigners.
That last line though... what the f***?
Is the country pretty at least? What was your favorite experience there?
You’re welcome here in the netherlands. Just don’t go more north than the city groningen
Why not?
Shiet honestly you're better off traveling in the US lmao
We have beautiful places here!
But regardless, i'd say just travel wherever you like. Seeing the world in all it's glory and evil is an eye-opening experience.
Title
I’ve always been interested in travelling but I’m not gonna lie, a large part of the world seems unaccepting of black people and I would like to avoid racist people.
There arent many resources online that I could find on travel that were written by other black people so I wanted to ask you guys what your positive/negative experiences where in different countries
thailand / cambodia
south america
africa
taiwan (skip china)
anywhere in western Europe (europe is kinda boring tho)
literally anywhere bro most countries aren't racist like usa lmao

I’ve already traveled to much of Africa
I’m interested in seeing other parts of the world
Im tryna go to Morocco. I saw this tv show called "The Getaway" i think, and Mos Def was giving a tour of Morocco. It was from years ago, but It looked sick. I think they had some political squabbling in recent years, but I'm not too well versed tbh.
Keep in mind in much of the world you’ll probably be seen as “American” and “tourist” as much as “black”. Don’t let a small minority of prejudiced people hold you back from traveling
The most white washed and color blind thing I have ever read

don't be dissuaded to not visit China's a vast country filled with cool s***, would recommend taking the high speed bullet train out of Shanghai to Shenzen to look at practically the future of technology and see those people turn beat cell phones into new condition like nothing ever happened.
you can learn how to build iPhones/droids there, look at the shoe market seeing how reps get made from certain people who work at the nike/adidas factories taking blueprints and applying themselves, taking the guts of certain technologies making something new or desired all types of stuff man stop sleighting yourself.
if you don't wanna do that I'd recommend taking the high speed train to Shandong it's a beautiful coastal city to be around in the northern part of China i have a couple friends residing there it's a nice relief being in that part of the country.
Yeah we were finna take a train there too for a day. When do they do that blackface celebration? Im just tryna avoid that
U should go an put the pressure on em
everyone saying don't go to Nigeria
Ik niggas wilding out there but I wonder why they saying that
yeah but its exactly that, they're racist against the natives, not really all blacks
same in italy, you have a lot of racism against 1st generation migrants but as a tourist you wont get it
not saying its right but its more complex than white vs black
bad thing is My father is African so I plan on staying away from Italy. Niggas won't tell the difference
