I am guessing you are like 95% of all the other Americans in the US and have NEVER stepped foot out of the country.
Well, I have. I've been to more countries than you have fingers and toes.
In Germany: An easy way the Germans tell if a black guy is American or not? "he or she is walking around with white people". THAT is what MANY German people tell me how they know if they are American or not. Because you next to NEVER see Germans walking around with black people.
In Spain: HAAAAA!! good luck. Not too long ago at soccer games many Spanish people would make monkey sounds when the ball gets passed to a black guy on the field.
In Russia: They either won't acknowledge black people or the cops detain you and grill you with all kinds of questions just for being there.
In France: NOT friendly to black people at all unless you are Cheik Kongo.
In Austria: I PERSONALLY got many dirty looks for walking hand in hand with my ex brazilian girlfriend who was 3 shades darker than me. Austrian people would look at me as if I just committed a crime.
Australia: fellow Marines that went there kept getting asking why we, "let so many black guys in our military".
Saudi Arabia: well... slavery still exist there essentially so....
And those are just the 1st world countries off the top of my head. Don't get me started with 3rd world countries.
1st: I said 1st world. Russia, and especially Saudi Arabia I would never consider first world.
2nd: I never said other 1st world nations don't have issues, hence the word "arguably"
3rd: I've been to 50+ countries. Yes, more than fingers and toes.
