Very few

That wasn't necessarily my experience in my 14 years of working in the merchant marine.
We made frequent calls in the Ports of Novorossiysk, Sevastopol and St. Petersburg, and right off the top of my mind I can recall about a half dozen incidents where the local police would show up to our vessel informing us of one of our black sailors laid out in the street or in the hospital.
Perhaps these incidents were just anecdotal, and perhaps the black sailors brought some of it upon themselves by demonstrating a certain amount of lack of cultural sophistication not understanding the tribalistic tendencies of a truly oppressed white population, but I always couldn't help but perceive a certain amount of viciousness towards black folk in Russian ports.
It was even worse in the Balkans.

Do you support her serving 10 plus years of hard time in a Siberian prison over this? Is that right or wrong, IYO?

America was pretty shitty, we can all agree. But Russia has killed millions of their own people during the Soviet Union alone.

So has the US according to most posters here regarding the abortion issue. Not saying you're wrong, just pointing it out.

You should go there. They might understand your language better.

She is a political prisoner in the sense that they are using her as a political prop. They are literally dragging her around and parading her.

Yep, but man did they achieve equality.
A few million have to die.

Yes there are 189 people of African descent in Russia. Not counting diplomats other people from African nations that work at the embassies in Moscow.

Too many Asians. Evidently, they dislike Asians.

If we go back forty some years, I was in a German Class and we spent a week in Berlin as guest of the CDU/CSU, great accomodation not that far from the Brandenberg Gate.
One night, one very, very late night we were in a different bar and the 'ladies' of the evening started coming back from their evening out. Most were half black. One of the Germans in our group started asking questions. One comment that emerged was they were children of American soldiers and that was the only profession they could follow because of their skin color. That was just across the wall from the Russia sector where some of them worked.

If things are so much better why aren’t any people moving there or risking their lives to get into Russia the way they do here every day?
One thing all whites and blacks have in common in America is they all have their freedom because a white man fought for it.

I can think of one, but she's in prison.

Great story turf. I was in Worms Germany in the Army in 1971 and wondered why the black guys in my company got most of the Gèrman women. Many of us were sending money back home for our departure, but some of these guys would blow a months paycheck in 1 or 2 nights. Thus the girls.

99.9% of Slavs didn’t know black people existed until after 1900

In Feodosia (Crimea) there’s an African themed restaurant on the beach where you can take pics with black guys dressed up as tribal Africans (grass skirts, spears, etc...). I wanted to do it but the line was too long. I don’t think that would go over well here in the U.S., but they seemed like they were having a good time.
