First of all, are there Black People in the Ukraine? I am an American from the United States. I just stumbled onto this website. My interest is simply of an information purpouse. I would like for citizens of Europe to understand to not always judge Black Americans by the bias they here and read via the U.S. news media. I would wish that an open opinion would be kept about Black people just as we have learned about Russian and other former Soviet Union Nationals that come to the United States. One of my best friends has recently married a Ukrainian and she now resides in the Phoenix metro area where I live. As you may guess I am a Black American male. I am only asking that people of your countries not be to quick form judgements/opinions. Most American Blacks know European Whites are more understanding and don't hold prejudices that American whites project. Europeans tend to hear false information and becomes afraid of American Blacks per the news media. It is trues there some violent blacks. But the we do not just hate white people. We are not a violent race. Please do not judge a whole race by the actions of a few. That would be like judging all Russians like Citizen X.
For those of you who will come to this country, you must be willing to judge people on an indiviual basis. Try to be careful who you encounter Russian, Hispanic, Asian, African, etc.. Learn to mingle with people in your job. Be open but careful. We are a very mixed society. Especially in the western most states of our country. I have white, black, asian, Indian (Navitve American) Mexican, Italian, Filipino and German friends. This the way of our country.
Most blacks are law respecting working job people just like you are. We get exploited and judged a small few. However the most violent serial killer murders in the U.S. are white American males preying on women. Hope to hear from you
