How Argentina ‘Eliminated’ Africans From Its History And Conscience

[Spectrum]

Have you been to Asia? In Bali, off the beaten path, motherfuckers study and approach you as if you grew horns on your head. Get over it, man. You re different. Id stare at you, too. Whos the other brother and whatnot. Argentinians are weirdos, I give you that.

I first went to Asia 15 years ago man. I'm a serious traveller. I've probably been to more countries than you could name before going to Google for help. I walked the streets in Thailand and people barely paid attention. Being different is not a license to stare uncontrollably and I've been to places where I was the only foreigner and only black person and people rarely gave a double-take. Staring is only one aspect. I'm not about to write a book on it but that was an example to give people a quick view.

Argentinians aren't "weird". They have a euro-centric anti-black complex that permeates their entire culture and it shows itself in different ways...the ridiculous staring is just one way they show it. I'm in a place right now with way less blacks than Argentina and people don't even act the way the Argentinians act. They're known for their arrogance.

That's some deep shit. Makes you wonder if the US is following the same playbook.

Europe exported all their bums to america. european elites moved to brazil and Argentina. thats the difference. its the reason why americans feel a kindred spirit with Australia.

So am I. I'm well traveled as well. I had a ball in Buenos Aires but I admittedly I was cruising in a cab for a three hour trip worth eleven dollars for only two days. I'm in an arrogant country now in Asia. Thailand is the land of smiles so that's bunk. French, Japanese, Korean etc are arrogant fucks. Hostile staring won't will me over unless there is a hostility. No point in a travel pissing contest. Just brush that shit off your shoulders.

I've been to every country you've named and actually made posts about them on bgol before. I'm almost a professional traveller man. French people are just prude. I was just in France again last month. There is a difference between arrogance and then a country treating every black person they see like a Martian. I know someone who visited there and said someone hopped out of a car to touch her hair (she used to wear a huge afro). staring at someone for minutes at a time like they are on exhibit is about RESPECT.

You went to Argentina for two fucking days man! you don't know shit about a country in two days. You just passed through. I stayed there for two months. I had a great time because I always have a good time when I travel but Argentinians aren't just arrogant. You must think I'm talking about just a passing glance. I'm talking about walking into a restaurant and the entire place stops and stares like a martian walked into the place. You would have thought I was fucking Pele.

I'm not talking about basic staring. I'm in Hungary right now and people stare every day but it's not invasive staring (at least not all of it). In Argentina they stare and point, etc.

I won't even go into the other situations and it takes a lot to get a rise out of me.

Dawg. I wrote a blog post on here years ago about being on the first non-military flight into Iraq after the war "ended". I saw some wild shit but never was flustered. You best believe that you would have been frustrated by some of the shit I saw in Argentina and I'm not to "brush shit off my shoulders" brah.

Argentinians are extra. Argentinians even have conflict with the rest of Latin America because they think they're "pure". I've lived in Latin American for a decade. Argentines deserve every bit of their reputation.

There isn't a continent on the planet where we're not hated.

i have been to countries where black americans get LOVE tho.
maybe not from everybody but from alot of people.


i see it like this, the white man HAD to create a system to keep us at bay because if nature just took its course, they would most likely be extinct right now.

think about it...

we have the ability to turn this whole planet brown without laying a hand on a single white man. we would just lay hands on his woman.

he, on the other hand has to destroy to keep building. they literally have to kill (guns), poison (drugs, food, alcohol), and enslave (prison) a % of us just to make sure things stay in order. we gotta stop falling for the trap.

Again, not a pissing contest. I'll research the area, man. were in the capital or in the countryside? I'm curious. We're well traveled blacks. We're bound to witness some disheartening shit. Comes with the skin. But of course, but you've got to convince me that the staring was the worst thing that happened to you in Latin America, man.

I spent almost two months there. The most uncomfortable place I've ever been and I've been to a lot of countries.

I've been to a few places in Spain. We know Spain has racism. The difference to me in the overtness. People were never as overtly racist as they were in Argentina. Plus, the Spainards are at least accustomed to seeing multiple races, etc day to (at least in the big cities like madrid, barcelona, etc. So you're gonna have safety by numbers chants at football matches, but I never had people staring, pointing, etc. I never had people scowling at me when I entered a restaurant like what happened in Argentina.

 

[Osca Lee]

All the ones I have talked with acknowledge african blood in them. Their parents school them and so did their parents.

I have fucked women from there and they love black men. So all of that other shit that was said I have never experienced it with them before.

You can believe everything these so called researchers put out there.

I'm not having a pissing match but you introduced yourself to me as If I hadn't been around enough to be able to distinguish between overt racism man. I spent 90 percent of my team in Palermo Soho in Buenos Aires.

I just told you that the staring wasn't the worst. I just gave an example. And you still don't get the type of staring i'm talking about. I've been stared at before. I was in Baghdad on the corner in the middle of the day waiting with a guy with a machine gun protecting me because our ride wasn't there (didn't actually think we were coming). And guess what, I got less stares on that corner than I did in Buenos Aires.

Now I had a group of kids run up on me playing around (let's fuck with the black tourist) and they got taught a serious lesson without me needing to hurt any of them. That's just one example. I don't need to make a list. I'm just telling you off the strength of people treating you as if you're not human is enough to make anyone uncomfortable. They need to filter themselves. You should read "that book" that we always talk about on bgol about euro-centric though and "otherness". The everyday interactions were the best exemplification of this I've ever had.

The way they react to not seeing people like them it's just a bit ridiculous. And it's not always because of "racism". It's just a general part of their personalities there.

I'm giving you the most banal part of it but even that is enough for me to place Argentina high on the list considering how many places I've been and I've never had anything remotely similar to that type of treatment. I now know how a celebrity feels when they walk around all day with people staring, pointing, taking pictures and shit.

A black man with any type of game can get pussy anywhere though man. Black men were fucking white bitches in Mississippi in 1920 so that's not really saying much. Women are drawn to the exotic. If I was single, I could have been having orgies in my place. That still wouldn't change the fact that Argentina for the most part is one of the most racist countries I've spent a considerable amount of time in.

I bet you a majority of them wouldn't take your ass home to meet their parents though.

Well, I'm glad you're not hung over the staring. But it is what it is. I work in an environment my co-workers in South Korea refuse to acknowledge my presence for about two years now. People scared to sit next to me on a bus, train and plane.Ripped off, scammed etc but where am I most pissed off with people? Haha. Cotonou, Benin, West Africa.

Yeah. One thing blacks outside of Africa cant follow is tribalism. Perhaps you already know what I mean but I digress. We both we can conjure up a list of racial shit especially in Latin America esp. my peeps in Peru. Just have to wear thick skin through it all.

On the lighter side of things (don't want to beat this horse) did you develop your fluency of Portuguese over time or were you born with it?

oh. The staring (you would almost have to experience it to understand and I did have a cousin and his wife visit while I was there and even they were like...this is CRAZY) in Argentina was one of the most annoying things I've ever experiened. I'm talking about a bus passing and every single person on you're side of the bus gawking and pointing. They were acting like I was Robinho or something. There were a lot of other things but I'm not going to downplay the staring. It's mad direspectful to collectively stare at someone in a restaurant while they are eating. My skin is thick. I'm just pointing out something ridiculous about the country that people are discussing it. After Argentina, I don't even mind the basic staring in Eastern Europe. Theyre rookies compared to them.

I only know about tribalism from reading about it and during my times in Africa. I don't really have that "personal" experience with it so I can't debate it. But I've heard some stories. That's really out of my sphere of knowledge though...all second-hand accounts.

I learned portuguese while living in Brazil.

 

[Sampson]

Appreciate the drop eeewwwll. I've traveled to alot of places but Argentina is one have yet to go and one I don't really intend to visit now.

Judging from your posts, I see where you're coming from. When I travel, I get stares but I don't feel threatened. Some people genuinely have never seen a black person before so to them they are more fascinated than anything.

I guess in Argentina they definitely gave you that "how dare you come around here" look. Almost as if they were looking their nose down at you, correct?

 

[BKF]

The staring man. They stare and act like they've never seen a black person before in their lives. I've been to places that have way less black people than argentina (actually, i'm in one now and dont stare.. they look and obviously are curious) but the level that they stare in Argentina is ridiculous. Even a damn baby stared so hard that her damn pacifier fell out of her mouth. Walk into a restaurant and people can sometimes act like a martian walked in. They're just rude people. Obviously I'm being general because everyone is not like that...but they're pretty bad and it's not just on race. People (whites) were even arguing with waitresses and shit because you couldnt even get your drinks and food because the waitresses are sitting in the restaurant watching soap operas and shit.

Good Post. Damn Brothas got it hard everywhere

Shit, go to Bavaria in Germany. This is the old country. Hitler supporters are still there. They look at Brothas like, why are you here? Like they hate you to the bone. Don't halfway want to help. You absolutely have to speak German. Most uncomfortable place I've been as far as racism overseas.

I first went to Asia 15 years ago man. I'm a serious traveller. I've probably been to more countries than you could name before going to Google for help. I walked the streets in Thailand and people barely paid attention. Being different is not a license to stare uncontrollably and I've been to places where I was the only foreigner and only black person and people rarely gave a double-take. Staring is only one aspect. I'm not about to write a book on it but that was an example to give people a quick view.

Argentinians aren't "weird". They have a euro-centric anti-black complex that permeates their entire culture and it shows itself in different ways...the ridiculous staring is just one way they show it. I'm in a place right now with way less blacks than Argentina and people don't even act the way the Argentinians act. They're known for their arrogance.

Absolutely spot on.

So am I. I'm well traveled as well. I had a ball in Buenos Aires but I admittedly I was cruising in a cab for a three hour trip worth eleven dollars for only two days. I'm in an arrogant country now in Asia. Thailand is the land of smiles so that's bunk. French, Japanese, Korean etc are arrogant fucks. Hostile staring won't will me over unless there is a hostility. No point in a travel pissing contest. Just brush that shit off your shoulders.

You're wrong. And telling us how much you travel while exhibiting either an inability or refusal to acknowledge/distinguish differing treatment from natives abroad is extremely suspect behavior. And grouping the responses and attitudes of the French, Japanese, and Korean for purposes of this discussion further raises an eyebrow in my opinion... Three cultures that couldn't be more different. And saying the Japanese are arrogant is about as off base as it gets.

I raised my eyebrow when I saw that too.

One thing I will say is that the Japanese are efficient as fuck. I've never felt so lazy in my life when I saw their work ethic. Actually, it was more inspiring than anything.

I think you get exactly what I'm saying. I don't mind the looks like "wow..a black person"... but it's a bit different there...it's more of a "look at that black person". It's a subtle difference but black people can easily tell the difference between the different types of looks people give you. Some people are just looking out of curiousity. I understand. But some people are almost looking like "i thought we got rid of all of them". I'm not going to say the entire country is racist. I know on the days when me and my girl were dressed extra mean people were really looking hard because Argentines walk around looking like bums so I know that everyone isn't looking solely because of our skin.. even thought this is still racist, they probably thought I was a football player sometimes. But there were LOTS of them(especially older white women), they were giving looks of disgust. No bullshit.. they were scowling.

You probably would have had a ball. 2 years ago we went to Italy, Greece, and Turkey. Turkey became one of my favorite places in the world. Only Tuscany, Italy is as beautiful. I went to Ephesus, Turkey where the Virgin Mary lived after Jesus' crucifixion. Went into her house. I filmed even though I wasn't supposed to.


Real talk, to all you atheist.

Go into the Virgin Mary's house and tell me if you don't feel the Spirit!

Man.. I've got to do more of that (like your trip to Ephesus)

I've been to Turkey before. I loved it man. I spent all of my time in Istanbul though. I've been to a few other countries in that area too...but my problem has been that I've spent way too much time in the large cities. After this year, I'm making a committment to travel for new experiences as opposed to just new countries or just another large city to knock of my list. I know there is a huge difference but at the end of the day, you'll get a very similar experience in Prague as you'll get in Amsterdam (amsterdam is more diverse and you have the weed shops and stuff but at the end of that day if you ONLY look at your post trip photos, you can hardly tell the difference between the two.

I got sucked in to just adding countries and cities to my list
