Pretty Messed Up.
I've been to a few places in Europe and i'll never go back to some of those places.

It's not just soccer. I remember a couple years ago readingthere was a hockey tournament in Russia. The US and Canadian teams both had black players on their teams. Any time a US or Canadain team played they had to stop the game so that they can clean the bananas off of the ice.

what areas did you go to, and why wouldn't you go back to them? did you yourself receive any racism?

I am still in disbelief about the level of racism over the game in Europe. There have been some racist occurrences here in the States in our sporting events, but like the video said, we have a much larger African/Black population than all European countries. There is a chance I may have a business trip to Britain or Greece where I was kind of looking forward to the travel. I am not so sure I want to goanymore. If it is that way at sporting events, it only makes me wonder how it is in the streets.

Are there typically African sections of town, or are you guys more or less dispersed randomly inrespective cities?

I've been to Britian,Hungary,Germany,Belgium,Luxenbourg,Austria ,Croatia,France and never had a problem.Now a sporting event is adifferent animal.Thrown in beer and the frenzy and anything is libeal to happen.

i agree that what happens in football matches is different to what happens on the street. Football games attract low class human beings that live on minimum wage and have no hope in society so they turn to what makes them feel superior...just to add meaning to there pathetic existents.

Racism will never stop, until the Europeans feel a need to respect black people. fear is always a goodtool to use. if theEuropeans fear Africans then they would be sh!t scared to live glance at use, just incasewe crack there jaw for it.
