Truth be told!! There are many Kenyans who have NEVER experienced racism. Someone even told Coops why this could be the case. There are many who do not interact with people who might be racist or go to places where racism is likely to be experienced e.g. the high end restaurants/establishments. Many may experience classism and tribalism but not racism. You cannot insist or force people to say they have experienced racism when they have not. Kenya is still a majority black country belonging to all social classes. That said does not mean racism does not exist in Kenya or Africa.

Kenya was a real apartheid state. Just that it's not talked about. As late as the 70's, no non-white person was allowed to live in Muthaiga Estate, Nairobi. The first non-European was Sharad Rao, who was the Chief Justice at the time. Even then, white people had issues with him moving there. Western parts of Nairobi were exclusively white, Parklands was for Asians, and Eastlands was for black people who were licensed to visit the city. Black people were not allowed into Nairobi without a permit. Those who made it there couldn't live in some estates, marry outside their race.

I rarely comment on KZread, but I will because this comment divine instead of uniting. I write all this in love, but as an African I feel we need to also speak about our experience. As a Kenyan who has lived abroad, I only became black when I moved to the US because race is not a construct that we identify within a country where the majority are Black people. My identity was based on my nationality, ethnicity, religion, and gender. However, in the US, race is a construct of identity, and I became Black. As we hold all these conversations, it is essential to understand and respect other people's experiences. For most Africans, other than South Africans, race is not a construct because they do not have to deal with people of different racial backgrounds. Therefore, Africans in the continent should not be condemned for not understanding racism because it is not their everyday experience. Africans have their own issues like ethnicity or tribalism, and that's their experience. In the same way, you want your experience with racism to be understood and treat Africans in the continent the same way. Chimamanda Adichie has discussed the same issue in her book, Americanah, and in most of her talks (i.e., Africans become Black when we move to non-black regions). Does racism exist in the continent? Of course, it does in regions with diverse peoples, but it's not a predominant issue or experience for every African. Africans fought for indipendence (i.e., Kenya and other African countries), which is why we live in sovereign countries. If Africans were docile, they would still be colonized. You cannot have a conversation if you view other groups through the lens of stereotype or 'othering.' In her famous Ted Talk, "The danger of a single story, " Adichie refers to it." We can only have progressive conversations from a genuine desire to understand "the why." Best, from an African in the continent.

​Where is this narrative derived from? Have you resided in these African countries for an extended period to formulate such a conclusion? It's crucial to remember that Africa comprises 54 countries, each with its unique economy and colonial past. Can this statement truly be applied to all 54 countries? It's worth noting that some African nations, rather than aligning with the West, lean towards other regions, such as the Middle East. To sum up, I am challenging these broad generalizations. Kenya, an English-speaking country, manages its economy differently from Senegal, a French-speaking country, or Morocco, which has a predominantly Arabic and Spanish influence. While it's true that in some countries non-Africans may be investors or wealthy, it's not accurate to assume that all Africans are willing to accept mistreatment. It's important to remember that isolated cases should not be taken as the norm for an entire country. For example, in Kenya, where I can speak from personal experience, economic growth is driven by the informal sector, which is largely controlled by Kenyans who own their own small businesses.

As he adviced them on the required speed limit and left !The other instances i will not mention

Ask about Tribalism

The scarcity of opportunities is what perpetrates racism in Kenya especially those working with Indians or Chinese firms. They can never stand up or call it out. Also Kenyans treat Europeans or Asians better in Kenya than their fellow Kenyans. It is the residuals of colonialism. A white man can go to dangerous places in Kenya but the local Kenyan cannot. Kenyan police will treat a white person better than local Kenyan. I think this applies to the vast majority of African countries.

The other point is because the politicians always favor foreigners over locals, it always is the case that foreigners are more well off than locals which furthers the disenfranchisement locals feel and experience.

I think its more classism. If you look poor you will be treated that way,of you look rich they will treat you differently.

first he said he wouldnt mind being born in a darker shade. then it went to appreciating the n-wrd. funny and confusing as hell.

You could have differentiate tribalism and recism to some people you interview. The second person interview doest know the sayings that says "new visitors are welcomed the most". So for her case being treated quite different in the hotel is, she is perceived as a sister and this is also her place, no need to sweeten her welcoming like an outsider. Africans are too welcoming and that was why we were colonized. We dont differentiate humans. So that proves Africa is a paradise.

I understand if some people didn't experience racism in Kenya but bro mentioned a whole continent,. If youve been alive any significant time ,you have seen on tv or read online about racism happening all around that continent. Rather it's afro Arabs against bantu Africans or Somali against other Africans or the dutch Afrikaner against south Africans . You don't have to experience it first hand to know it exists ,. And even in the lovely country of Kenya , the Indians have apartments where they only rent to Indians and literally say no Kenyan allowed. How da fk you do that in Kenya to people that's born there smdh .

You have _any_ idea just how many Kenyans there are in Uganda? Many Kenyans go to school there, even though we have good schools in Kenya too. Tanzania is actually hard for Kenya because they want Kenyans to behave like them (I'm not blaming them for running their country the way they want though)

95% of Africans are not educated on racism at all. It's painful talking to Africans about racism, even the adults.

I rarely comment on KZread, especially on difficult conversation. As a Kenyan who has lived abroad, I only became black when I moved to the US because race is not a construct that we identify with in a country where majority are Black people. My identity was defined my nationality, ethnicity, religion, and gender. However, in the US race is a construct of identity and I became Black. As we hold all these conversations, it is important to understand and respects other people's experiences. For most Africans, other than South Africans, race is not a construct because they do not have to deal with people of different racial backgrounds. Therefore, Africans in the continent should not be condemned for not understanding racism because it is not their everyday experience. Africans have their own issues like ethnicity or tribalism and that's their experience. The same way you want your experience with racism to be understood, treat African in the continent the same way. Chimamanda Adichie has discussed the same issue in her book, Americanah and in most of her talks (i.e., Africans become Black when we move to non-black regions). Does racism exist in the continent? Of course it does in regions with diverse peoples, but its not a predominant issue or experience for every African. You cannot have a conversation if you view other groups through the lens of stereotype or 'othering'. Adichie refers to it in her popular Ted Talk, "The danger of a single story". We can only have progressive conversations from a genuine desire to understand "the why". Best, from an African in the continent.

It’s difficult to be educated on something you hardly experience. Africans can also say that AA are not educated on tribalism and it’s painful talking to them about it. Context and experience shapes our realities of life.

@felixmakinda7689

We are taught about racism but most of us rarely interact with people outside our races. Hard or almost impossible to perceive it when everyone around you looks like you. Tribalism is what we are sensitive too because it applies to us. Some Kenyans working with Chinese and Indians have experienced racism though.

@@githengu extremely well put. African Americans live and breath racism and they find it hard to believe that Africans do not relate to their experience. They expect us to hate white people while we are more interested in learning more about other cultures. We care more about education than your typical African American. Most of what is described in this video as racism is actually classicism.
