The media ignores black lives in Ukraine (1 Viewer)

[GodKingTeshub]

So there’s 24/7 coverage about Ukraine now after corona, but nothing is being said about black people who were discriminated against. In another site I made a thread about Ukrainians stopping black people from leaving Ukraine but it got locked due to it being ‘sensitive’. I thought Black Lives Matter, not just in America or when Trump is president. Unlike Ukrainians black peoples won’t be able to blend in with Russians.

Maybe not refer to us as 'blacks'....

Not surprised this is getting swept under the rug.

It's sad. I don't know what else to say.

Ari Melber just did a story about it; I'll post the video as soon as MSNBC uploads it.

not sure if it's 100% true but i read that non-ukrainians nationals (no matter their skin colour) are facing additional struggles leaving the country as they have to hold a visa for the country they want to escape to (at least for poland, visa free entry is for ukrainians only)
