thread doing the old "Blacks back to Africa" thing white supremacists used to support but woke

US tried buying land in Africa to send all the ex-slaves to for free. It's called Liberia. The few that did go recreated the plantation system with native Africans and enslaved them until the 1980s.

Appreciate the knowledge heavy

ive lived and travelled to multiple countries and no country in this world has the amount of ratchet people yelling and arguing in public than the US at a typical coffee shop. U can def assimilate in most countries if u are somewhat like them in culture and can behave/dont lose your cool. loudness is the thing ive noticed the most with cultural acceptance

ya this basically

most of the gaijin problems are overcomeable if you speak japanese anyway

half the time the reason most people don't want to deal with you is because they can't communicate with you

some things don't go away tho like housing discrimination ect but it's not impossible to get over

ya but like Malcolm said it's extremely rare and not reflective of your overall experience in the country lol

but also I think a lot of people in this thread enjoy the idea of Japan but don't actually realize there are social hurdles that can make life difficult to live even if the country is much safer.

if you don't speak japanese you'll definitely never fit in and even if you do you probably still won't ever fit in, but it'll be easier to make good friends

you will always be a foreigner to everyone else, which isn't actually the worst thing in the world for the most part, it's just important to understand you aren't one of "them" which can be a benefit or a detriment to you.

there's a limit to the amount of jobs you can work without fluent japanese skills, ect.

the xenophobia is "bad" but like the worst thing thats happened to me is being told "SHUT UP NO ENGLISH!" in the middle of the street and i just continued on talking and nothing happened lol

Thread inspired me to pull up the JAV

"Most accepting of other cultures on Earth"

If an individual black American wants to live in Africa they have every right, setting up an entire nation is a different story, but it's unfair to denounce that wish as similar to white people saying go back to Africa imo

Yall so naive to think that we won't be discriminated against in Africa. Africans don't really f*** with us like that either. We're not "real" Africans to them. We're gonna face prejudice wherever we go.

I’ve been to a few European countries, and when I was in the military I went to Egypt, Afghanistan, and a couple states across the US. I can’t see my self living anywhere else but the south. I love it and it’s my home

We already tried that. It's called Liberia

You think those freed slaves the same people we are today?

Nobody is fixing anything in america with the feds, cia, undercovers all around us

No. Because they actually escaped.

Liberia's mistake was doing business with america again i.e Firestone and Goodyear

Whats your point

Tell me more about Turkey ma boi

Been seriously considering taking a trip there now. Seems affordable and like a great place to explore. What are your thoughts on starting in Istanbul and then maybe taking a day trip (or overnight) to Alanya or Fethiye?
