Traveling While Black: What You Need to Know

[not_osirus_jenkins]

I've been to Thailand, Philipines, Guam, Saipan, most of the Caribbean, Alaska,etc. I haven't been to Europe yet nor the motherland. I will be going to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji for my vacation and the next vacation will be Africa.

How was Thailand, my G? I'm flying out to Bangkok in May. Gonna spend a couple days there, then head down to either Phuket or Krabi; haven't decided yet. Thinking about hopping a plan to Hanoi, too. And how was the Philippines?

Thailand is cheap as fuck. You literally could ball for a weekend on a 100 bucks. Philipina women, you already know what the deal is. I had a great time. Great food, good people,etc.

Thats the hotspot of many kiwi men when I was in New Zealand, I believe most go for the ladyboys, as its a transexual hotspot.

Bruh, wtf!?!? Im pretty sure that aint a review on the kayak website so you went digging for that.

I actually studied in abroad in New Zealand for a year, up your game!

I studies broads too nigga, and i aint have to go to new Zealand to do so

Real Question ~ Do you get looked at / touched / whatever if you're light(er)skinned? If I've been out in the sun I'm brown, but most of the year I'm a bit fairer..

I go running at night and i wear a hoodie...and ive had people cross the street/look back 6373773 times

I need to go to Japan one day cause from what I hear from people I know who went over there its mellow as hell.And in some parts they embrace our culture and when I say our culture I mean black american culture.

The truth about traveling while black is that... while most people have never seen a black person in "person," they see the same negative stuff about black people on TV that shown in America. So they largely expect black people to "be" what they see on television. For example, when I would go out to parties I would often times be ask to rap, because thats all they know about blacks. All that hypersexual, violent, interracial self hate stuff that plagues American media in regard to black people is also shown abroad and they expect you to be exactly that. The rapper, athlete, and thug...

Every time… I mean EVERY TIME i went to China… and I've been over ten times…

I'd get stopped at customs… searching my bags and sh*t… like I flew 14 hours to sell weed or something.. wtf?

You get crazy stares like "tf is he doing here??" Most of the younger generation who grew up on the NBA thought I was a famous a basketball player tho.

But yeah, As a black person you'd have to be silly not to consider race … on top of that as an American citizens you have to think about that as well.

The funny thing is that people seem to think you have to go out of the country for shit like this. There are plenty of spots right here in the US where you can go and the people there have never really seen Black people in person. I had to go to this little town in Montana for work once, and it was like I was in another country.

Ok, let me school some of yall untraveled mofos:

being stared at, ridiculed/whatever, paying higher prices etc etc is all part of the game. Shit, ive been all over asia, currentlty dwell in indo and mofos done took photos/with/of me and I got stared and hollad at all the time lol

im not white nor black.

traveling while white/black is some pathetic shit man, most of the shit the girl from the opening post stated happens to everyone.

the whole point of traveling is letting go of your old culture and experience new shit, be open minded mofos.

people all over the world and especially here in asia dont knlw shit about murica/white/black struggles etc...

so keep that shit at home and enjoy your travels.

I can understand some female coming with this fuck shit, but most of yall gotta know better than overthinking/bullshitting and nagging like this.

just go travel, dont let some inexperienced, lack of insight having bitch cloud and influence your gottdamn judgement

come on son
