Don't Go to East Germany, thats an other story with your skin colour. Hamburg ist a Big City, with a History of trade and they are used to foreigners, because of the harbor etc. East Germany is still GDR, only White people and narrow minded.

As a white I would never think of „white community“ - when I would be abroad I only maybe would think of cultural or country community. I will never understand the reason of race community. It’s hard for me always to think whats somebody’s race is - it doesn’t come to my mind at all. I think this is often the reason the black communities are so separated from the „white community“ or more to say the „other“ people. It’s a pity. I understand the need of get together because you think you are not the same or not accepted, but today it’s really a thing to divide. When you are not accepted or have problems, because you are not these same, so you have to get up like other persons they are not the „same“ because of other reasons like a woman or disabled ones, but don’t break it down of the colour of your skin. And when you are thinking the „whites“ don’t like you (I am speaking in the case of Germany and Austria) - it’s not because you are black it’s because of your cultural behavior. A black from the UK or a black from the US will likely have no problem to be accepted, because of his cultural background, his mindset and social status. Your thinking of race get me thinking y o u don’t like me as a white person and that hurts. Love from Austria 🇦🇹

Oh man, I love fufu! There is a lady from Nigeria who has a food trailer and she comes by my work place from time to time. Fufu with egusi and chicken. Soooo good.

Yes , I agree P.Y. The social interaction between Germans and other Residents in personal and private Spaces is indeed a lot Better and much relaxed in Germany than in England. Because if the Locals in Germany like you , then they like you . But you have to earn their trust, because after all they trust you to come into their personal space, right? So visiting or meeting each other or cooking at each others home is very much common here in Germany. My Son studied in England and has lived in London for the last four years. I witnessed that the English and the Expatriates work together, go to the Pub or Events together. But the only time they would let anyone into their personal Space would be obviously to get intimate. So in my opinion their overt Politness as a kind of Virtue can not be understood as a welcoming gesture, it just maintains peace by protecting personal space, which is obviously important to them.. thus avoiding possible uncomfortable Conflict moments which have to be dealt with

@3:40, Germany is very entrepreneurial, they are just more practical and vocational oriented in education while Britain is academic base education and entrepreneurship in Britain is championed mostly by migrants, especially the Asain communities.

Lol - this is delusional as regards race. It displays a willful ignorance as to the lived experience of generations of black Germans - perhaps have a conversation with them to get context. Recently the last black African member of parliament announced he will resign his seat due to the increasing harassment, racism and acts of violence.

I just followed you on the apple podcast to enjoy more of your conversations. They are truly insightful. I’ve always love Germany from a distance as a Ghanaian and happy to learn more about how the people are and how their society and culture affect immigrants.

It's an amazing conversation with certainly lots to learn from. The ladies are exquisite and apparently intelligent. But I keep asking myself all through the video, where are these perceptions coming from? As much as I support women security and freedom in all ways, the discussion is skewed towards women. When a man tells a women what he wants, we say he's controlling. But when a man does not behave or do what a women wants, we say he's unromantic. Oversexualisation of black women isn't majorly from the media or how black men portray them, it is how they portray themselves most times. Moreover, black men and women are not homogenous and our various experiences shape us differently. The way some black men have not reliquished their barbaric cultural beliefs and behaviours towards women, is the same way many black women still put on thier greedy view of men. And this, by no means, applies to either all women or men. You all got my thumbs up!

I have so many stories I swear. Been living here for 10 years and it's a challenge for sure

I'm half British/half German and my family lived in Bonn for 5 years when I was aged 10-15. My younger sister and I went to school and picked up the language within a year, with the local accent and everything. My dad mostly got jobs where he didn't have to use much German such as cleaning and working in the kitchen in an Irish pub. His German friends saw him as an opportunity to practice their English, which did very little to help him learn German. He also only listened to English language music and didn't watch TV or movies until we got satellite with UK channels and then DVDs replaced VHS and you could select what language you wanted to watch the film in. These days, I've caught him using duolingo to try and improve his German but he still struggles quite a bit with the grammar and pronunciation. While I hope he gets his German up to where he wants it, I'm a big believer that languages are best learned by spending your days surrounded by people who are speaking it fluently. Since moving back to the UK, I've tried Spanish classes and given up because I just find learning languages a lot harder in an academic setting than it is in the real world. While Germans can be a bit annoying with their excessive grammar policing, I actually think it's helpful over time and can make learning the language faster. I do think that like learning a musical instrument, learning a language is the kind of thing that works fastest during childhood unless you really have a personal interest in it. You see it all over the world: a family moves to a new country and the kids go to school and very quickly sound just like their classmates, while the parents go to work, learn the language a bit more slowly and usually keep the accent and even the grammar of whoever they grew up around. I also think that going to german lessons with only other people who aren't fluent in the language means everyones mistakes rub off on eachother, while when you're learning it around people who are already fluent, their fluency is what rubs off on you. After 20 years of being back in the UK with no German speakers around, I've kept my German up to scratch by listening to German rap, because unlike other styles of music, rap has paragraphs upon paragraphs of text, usually with the latest slang and colloquialisms. I hope you find less tedious ways to improve your German that work for you because I think it's worth it. I miss Germany and will probably move back there. Best of luck!

Traffic-thank-you is raising a hand, not blinking the lights. I am sorry about you not enjoying learning German - maybe you're not in the right class or company. I think learning German when you know English is quite a fun thing to do. I just hope you will enjoy learning and speaking German with time and good experiences. I wonder what will happen if you make confronting racists with their racism a habit. I feel at least some of them are proud of being racist, and that's where my script ends, what can you do in that (nut)case.

We discriminate about big toe nail length is stead, way more logical.. And easy to hide.

I’m a black American who just moved to Germany maybe 6 months ago because my husband is from here and I’m happy I found this channel. I’m in Baden-Württemberg so that’s the part of Germany I’m most familiar with. This video was an interesting perspective and very different from my own experience so far. Thank you to you three for this video!

Interesting conversation. As a black male I hate when black women are not natural. Many blacks in Germany want to be americanized. Fake hair, too much make up, long nails, even how they talk, etc.. e.g. Sandra Lambeck style. And this leads many black men to rather take the original instead of a fake hair, character, etc.. If you are proud to be black then leave black

Quite an interesting topic! If it comes to me, a white guy, I now understand a few perspectives on certain topics better. If it comes to music, of course, Germany is not as diverse as London so Jazz and Rap have developed a bit differently, even though they're quite popular in different crowds. But rap for instance isnt as mainstream and normalised as in the UK: Unlike the US as well as the UK, rap has the gangsta image to it in Germany, without being the cause for ethnic crime or at least in way smaller circles ,which in my opinion is a good thing as well as the diversity of artists. If it was as dominated by one ethnicity like it is in the US or now also the UK, it would cause way more problems.

love your content! Pls more of it! Greetings from Germany

Wow I'm glad i got to tap into this interesting topic, i love how everyone is glowing beautifully ❤ great chat

Good convo. The host’s sound was so low..He needs to put the mic close to him like the ladies.

Yes, we do like "Bargeld" in this country! Why? Because for Germans data privacy is a VERY important matter. It's a kind private self-consciousness. Most of us don't like at all when international Banks, governmental and multinational institutions, or tax authorities will be able to track every single private stream of money, even the smallest amount. And this has nothing to do with defrauding the revenue. The overwhelming majority of the Germans pay their taxes true and punctual. But there ist a strong feeling of suspicion that all this private pieces of information could fall into wrong hands. Simply we want cash to stay, as the last rest of privacy in the modern world of datatracking as long as possible. That's it!

Many supermarkets will give you cash, up to 200 €. I am surprised about your description of Hamburg's nightlife. But living in Southern Germany, I have no idea of what's going on up there. Sadly, I have to agree with your description of the driving. The language IS difficult, that is true! The "call the police" thing is a general thing in Germany. It's a common threat. Maybe it occurs more often with black people, but I am as German looking as they come and I've had that experience a few times.

Your description of Germans and stuff in Germany seems spot on to me.

Great conversation...have really learnt some lessons especially how some "little" things mean a lot to our women but most men take it for granted. I nearly got pepper sprayed while walking behind three ladies. To them that was creepy but to me i was only going to my lab. Since then i try not to walk behind a lady.

Hello sisters and brothers, I think that we Africans with dark skin (Congo, Nigeria, etc. the Magreb states: Moroccans and Algieria, Tunisians excluded!) I somehow noticed that we weren't well received by German women. It always has to be the blonde guy like David Beckham or Ryan Gosling, more of a Nordic guy. But in America it's completely different, or in England too. How does this happen, I keep asking myself? Do you see it the same way as I do? I'm looking forward to your answer.

Such a one-sided conversation with no studies that relate to the opinions being stated.

This episode has to go viral. So well spoken. Love it!

Thank you ❤

Another great conversation and everything on point. The Habesha rapper Sammy de Luxe was suppose to be the unifier and spearhead as well as people like Joy Denalane and back in the nineties Moses Pelman, but I guess they were unoffficially "cancelled" by the German music industry. Remember this is the country where black artists like Milli Vanilli, Boney M, Nana, Tic Tac Toe or Snap etc made millions if not aggregated billions for the Germans. So they extracted just like they do in Africa our resources and have no interest in changing it soon. They´ll rather invite us in their homes as you stated, than share the profits. It´s their national DNA, they´ll even rather let other ethnic groups occupy spaces which are culturally ours (see the movies from the US they promote with black ppl, usually those that suit their interests than those reflecting black ppl.). The German actor Boris Kodjoe who is a respected one in the USA, esp. in the Afro-American community, once said he was never offered a role in Germany, outside of a criminal or asylum seeker, while playing leading roles in the USA. That´s the current state, so the fight is on...

She said that she didn't care about Black men being with other races of women right after she said that she noticed that Black men show out for non-black women.

Very interesting conversations, congratulations. Sure, there is room to grow for black man (in Germany), but the women, esp the one in the middle is portraiying an extremely negative picture of black man while putting herself in a position of superiority. Is there anywhere where she has a critical look at black women while interacting with black man? Rejections are on both sides. The ridiculous assumption that black man are with white woman only for the wrong reasons whereas black women are with white guys for love and care, is ridiculous and destroyed all credibility left of the two, esp the one in the middle. There were reasonable and illusionary demands, no honest empathy for black man outside of what the host was suggsting, and again, the lady on the left believably tried though. The young lady on the left side is s.o. you can work together with as a black man, but the lady in the middle, no way. Too biased, too self-centered, too non-reflective, too much Tik Tok quotes as basis of judgement and discussion. Education and career doesn´t always equate to desireable partner. The host tried to direct the conversation into a blalanced one, but had to intervene many times as he was sub-consciously left no other choice. The lack of accountability is too much. Nevertheless, the ladies had good points e.g. regarding roses and colorism which is rampant in the black community and dark skin women do suffer from it as the left side lady confirmed and the middle and "lighter" skinned woman tried, but failed to recall any negative human to human exprience of colorism (meaning she enjoys privilege, but unable to just say it, in comparison to her friend). This lack of accountability is huge weakness during this conversation and in many others, esp. with black women in particular. To set the record straight, in Western societies the black man is already a villian, loud, dangerous and fom Germany to UK to USA being rejected in jobs and society, statistically incarcerated in high numbers compare to average population, killed, and physically harmed as more and more demasculined by empowering black women against black men, "softening" black men image as gay (in movies and adverts form US to Germany) The black woman is being weaponized/used, if she knows or doesn´t. In short, both are here in the diaspora and NOT leaving their best life and potential. We need to work together and start being honest, accountable and not please s.o. for the sake of avoiding the inconvinient conversations the host is trying to conduct. We can do it, but ladies, sorry, but not sorry, you need to step up as well.

Still some confusion in their heads about men and women dynamics. The model you see here in Germany was install by the industry. The so-called women empowerment is all because of scouting more man power for the production etc.

Back ground music at the start is loud.

The first generation african migrants in the U.K stick to their kind or people too.

German african migrants communities are very young unlike U.K, i think that's why that mix is lacking or not quite evident.

Germans are very proud people who think they know it all, they don't have to learn or pick up anything from other people. Germans are one of the most travelled peoples in the world, however, they don't copy anything good or better. However, it's changing gradually, the Netherlands used to like that few decades ago and now, the Dutch are known to be one of the most progressive people in the world.

Where was this in a busy city location or a quiet spot by herself after 1am? This matters 👀, so distance don’t want man to approach 👀, black men peep this. First right of rejection 🤔. Wonder why black men first to leave. So much the black men ain’t doing right 🤔?.

Many black women in Africa are not traditional anymore either😂😂😂😂😂

@42:00 min mark, that there has been bothering and most black men don't realize they are doing this unintentionally to us but just give the others everything. Why is that ?? that's the part that hurts why can you not elevate us like you do non black women.

I mostly had positive experiences with black men in Germany compare to others (w.m ...)

black men are not ashamed when out with white women. that's just wishfull thinking by black women who cant accept black men can be happy without them

Black American are different

Love the content

Stop fleeing from your home countries and fight to make them better. If Africans do that, then they will not have to deal with being "othered" in non-Black nations. Problems solved!

Yes everybody knows that Black women are easy for any non black men - Whites/ Arabs to get. Most black women wil give more attention to, not rude to and tolerate most non black men who approached them compared to when black men approached them. Unlike White women they're so friendly openly respectful to their men, regardless of their looks status and to some extent, they extend the same to other non white men and with all that Most White women are NOT easy for any non White men to get so easy, especially if they had never dated outside of their race before unless they really like you and are ready to try men from different race. Because of White womens well-mannered respectful attitude, it is easy for their men or non White men to approach them and if they're not ready or want you most will respectfully, politely tell you ( White or non White) that im not interested. Ive come across lots of White/ Arab men who will come to work and rub it in our faces or brag about how easy it is for them to get a black women.

Most blacks in Germany are Africans who have brought their tribal attitudes with them. The result is a fractured population that see themselves thru their tribes/countries but the problem is that the average German see them as black African outsiders!

Such a needed conversation. Great job 🎉

So did they know that they said the best way to protect black women is to stay away, keep your distance & dont talk to them in person ???? 😂😂😂. They really hate us, they swear they love us but they don't even like us or want us in their vicinity unless it's on their own terms 😂. Interesting conversation tho, I learnt a lot 😊

The Third Reich extensively collected data on the "race" of its citizens in the infamous "Ariernachweis", which determined many rights and privileges their owners. And after WWII, the Federal Republic of Germany wanted to avoid even the appearance of racism, which is why they stopped tracking any information like that. But, of course, not talking about racism doesn't making it go away. Saying things like "Black people are inferior!" in public is a massive social faux pax that will result in immediate condemnation, and thus racism will be expressed in different terms. "Their have a different mentality!" "Their culture is too different from ours!" "They aren't sufficiently assimilated!" will allow those who utter those sentences to pretend that this is not racism (and usually they actually believe that!) - but yeah, it's pretty much always racism. Back to tracking data about ethnicity: I can see how it would make discussing racism easier if we had better statistics, and it might help with DEI initiatives - but such statistics could also be abused, such as claims by the AfD and other fascists about Deutschland becoming "überfremdet" and immigrants "crowding out ethnic Germans". It's a tricky issue, and I am not sure what approach would be best.

You are speaking the truth!
