Black Expats: The Common Mistakes You MUST Avoid

[@YogaBlissDance]

Guys I don't know (please don't shoot the messenger) if it was just me but there were LOTS of commercials like very 4-5 minutes, it made it hard to watch the whole video. I'm a KZbinr too so I get it, but I bet watch time would go up (which is great) if the ad breaks were a bit more spread out???

[@OurBlackUtopia]

Is that a setting?

[@spacesandplacesoutthere]

I said the same. I said dayum they milking these ads 😂

Happy Portugal Day all ✌ About EU elections told ya it´s gonna be ok, the center holds strong. Belcanto is in front of my work Halisi, i know the owner, it´s a 2 Michelin stars restaurant, very very expensive close doors you need to book it early. I can say a bit more about it and who goes there but not here.

[@OurBlackUtopia]

We love you Rui - and thank you for ALWAYS adding great information. The restaurant in Seixal is Michelin 3 stars! so if the Lisboa restaurant is going to act arrogant...😆 I'm not saying that you are saying that; but I want that lovely Portuguese hospitality. You've got our personal info - what'sapp me and let me know what you are not comfortable saying in public 😘

[@allisonrowe3683]

I love supporting our people, but If I hear," if you look for racism, you're going to find it" one more time, I'm going to scream. I love to learn, but I love to teach as well. If someone says that they experienced racism in Portugal or anywhere else for that matter, black folks, don't get angry with at person. Not everyone's experience is the same. I know that this is a dream of a lifetime for African Americans to live in Europe, but don't turn against people who have an experiencewhich is different than your own. I stand by my opinion about Portugal- it's one of the most racist countries that I have lived in. I can't speak for anyone else, but even white Brazilians deal with racism in Portugal. I dont know why African Americans are in such denial. Maybe because most do not speak the language? The racism there might show up differently, but it's there and as Christian said, fight it where you see it. Ignoring it solves nothing. I stand in solidarity with my fellow Afro- Portuguese sisters and brothers, who have to deal with racism and police brutality daily in Portugal. This is not an expat issue.

[@OurBlackUtopia]

Teddy, when was the last time you were here? YES - we attract attitudes towards us. The shit that ole' dude was saying was bullshit and did not reek of racism from someone who is HYPER-SENSITIVE to the shit.

Don’t live your life by default but by design .

[@OurBlackUtopia]

Absolutely! Living by design really empowers us to take control of our lives and make intentional choices. Thanks for being part of the conversation🙂
