I know if it's offtopic, but I think I might have expressed my opinion in a saturated way. I never wanted it to turn into black bashing contest. Black people for me are like kids. Especially in Africa. They are pure in every sense. They are not morally corrupt, they are not biggest liers and they either love you or want you dead. They are terrible terrible workers, that's my opinion. But they could die for you if they like you. This was proven back in history when black slaves defended their masters with their lives. And personally I was shocked to see black guy I know - shake, cry and faint when coffin of our coworker was layed in the ground.. that co-worker was a racist, called him Kuntakinta and nigger with hard R, yet he thought of him as a friend. I simply can't collectively hate them. They do have some traits that I admire. I personally don't care about Africa and wish them well, I would love them to build a Wakanda for themselves and don't come to European countries as this neither good for them nor for us. How can Africa build itself if they are loosing anyone capable to run away?
I do consider European culture, which might be on it's last dying light, above any other cultures and it's a shame that it's being universally abandoned by this generation of roothless cosmopolitans.
Even if other cultures are exotic and interesting, like preconquest Mesoamerican ones- they are probably most chilling, awe inspiring and exotic for me personally, but there's nothing like warm embrace of my own customs.
Europeans should
NEVER apologize what they are blamed. It is as silly as to demand apology from Russians from crimes done under Czarism or Communism. Collective guilt is what destroys people.
I am blessed to be part of 3 cultures- different, but still intertwined. I wouldn't call it a pride, but more of a burden. To cary this methaphiscal package and deliver it to my children. And not only that, but I am also tasked to make it interesting. I've done my small part in trying to preserve the culture from both my Russian and Lithuanian sides and if I will manage to grow old and retire, I will probably take up fulltime woodworking. My dream is to build a traditional slavic riverboat with my son.
There are certain nation I'm really starting to despise. Especially after visiting it for two weeks after my Cyprus holidays.
Double standards nation of people who love to cause wars in Middle East, pit brother against brother, kill scientists, artists and activists abroad using terrorist tactics. They also like to blame all white people from what few Germans done to them. No one is safe from their blame games- even very people who died pulling them out by their noses from Nazi deathcamps.
There's nothing sacred to them. Except themselves.
109 nations couldn't be wrong to share same opinion as me.

Most of the jobs they simply can't do due to lack of experience or basic education. Most of the local students don't have enough firepower to win an interview with their fancy degrees and some opportunistic bloke surely will be last person I would hire.. If it wouldn't be for diversity grants.
It's worth recalling how in the Ashkenazi Jews Europe were forbidden to do most trades & had to become bankers, doctors, lawyers, tailors, craftsmen, teachers, merchants, scientists, excelling in all of them.
They were not forbidden to do trades in GDL and yet they only dealt with money?
There were few jewish craftsmen or doctors. Mostly, for their own communities only and didn't allow goys in. It was all about being merchants and lenders. Most of the hate came from people not the ruling class who used jews as proxy to lend money and get fat % off it.
After noticing that many of them became rich & famous, pogroms & expulsions started. The justification was: "their ancestors executed Christ, r still not Christians, got rich off robing/cheating us, & won't assimilate!"
You sound alot like you are describing Jewish oligarchs who had to run away from Russia under same pretext. Oh those poor rich people... Maybe Russians can fill this list, but how come these poor and oppressed craftsmen, doctors, barbers (of private parts) became so rich: Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Fridman, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Pyotr Aven, Vladimir Vinogradov, Vitaly Malkin, Alexander Abramov, Viktor Vekselberg, Leonid Mikhelson, Arkady Rotenberg, German Khan, Yuri Milner, Evgeni Shvidler, Maxim and Aleksander Knaster, Abram Reznikov.
What is your honest opinion about these brave russian Bogatyrs? Why do they either live abroad or have money offshore? Definetly earned everything with hard work...
When Russians were starving and country was being assraped, they were interested to convert their roubles to USD asap.
The European civilization is skin deep. In France, Germany, England, Ireland & Byzantium the Christians of different sects/political leanings been killing each other for decades, no matter the shades of their skin nor occupations.
Recently in Ukraine, part of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church had split from the Russian Orthodox Church, with sometimes violent takeovers of properties & houses of worship.
Yet, by being skin deep it managed to create pretty much all existing technology, humanitarian ideas and basis of todays life. Ukraine and their church is as relevant to Europe as my house compared to St. Bazel church.
