[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking as an African, I was done with Ukraine when I saw videos from people I know are real Africans in Ukraine trying to get out. To be able to make time for racism at a life and death circumstances speaks of such a monstrous nature that I no longer have any problem with what Putin is up to over there. I’m not sparing Ukraine a single thought beyond this post.[/quote]

Speaking as a brown person, the first 2 days, seeing the reports from Ukraine made me teary eyed when I read the articles. Then after the discrimination videos started making the rounds, I am just disappointed that people look at skin color in a crisis. One of the videos above shows the black woman trying to get in but denied and a white woman on the left is let through on the train.

The tweets by this person showing how news people are reacting puts things in perspective:

Serves us right for caring in the first place. The brown and Black people of the world have no horse in this race. Thoughts and prayers and back to my regularly scheduled programming.[/quote]
