no one gave him "any grief"
what I gave him was a dose of reality about racism in Russia, particularly towards Africans
and based on the reaction it produced
i'd say "living in denial" while trying to date in the FSU is just STOOPID
someone this SENSITIVE over racial issues will be openly ridiculed in Russia by the majority of average Russians who don't adhere to the progressive western code of conduct
and hold Africans as being racially inferior
this is called REALITY
average Russians make the KKK seem like a WOKE progressive organisation
and somehow the OP didn't think him bein part African wasn't gonna be a problem there
and I'm a gawd damned rascist for sayin so
so...
to spare him from being devastated in the future, when he finds out I'm right...
I gave him a watermelon and some fried chicken and sweet potato pie and an old basketball to take his mind off of it
and we haven't heard from him since...
Does that make me a "bad person"?
The "moral of the story"
if you wanna "do business" in the FSU, western snowflakes need to "toughen up"
too many amateurs do not know WTF they're doing over there and have NO awareness
success or failure
Cameraguy used his job to hunt in the FSU, reducing it's cost to him
that's about the only useful tip he can pass along to the other "little turtles" struggling on their backs
before someone like me comes along and pecks their eyes out, hmmmm....delicious....
it's worse now...
Russia is a powderkeg
all the problems in Russia are getting BIGGER and BIGGER, squeezing Russia, while the WAR and ECONOMY are squeezing Russia as well
an ethnic schism just led to the death of 20 people in Dagestan
meanwhile, Putin is taking American arms captured in Ukraine
and transferring them to Arab terrorists recruited in Syria and trained and transported them to Mexico
and they are are preparing to cross the border with help from their supporters on the American side
THEY are the "October Surprize"
