Possible Considerations for African American or Black Volunteers visiting Ukraine

Volunteer Voices: “'People of color' face many challenges living in Ukraine, as a Peace Corps Volunteer. However, African-Americans will confront far more complicated issues. For modern parts of Ukraine, African-Americans are part of the community and day-to-day life. However, there are many Ukrainians who have never seen a Black person before. Their understanding of African-American culture is fueled by the media and African stereotypes. You will generate lots of interest and curious stares.

So, these stares can make you uncomfortable and annoyed. Ukrainians' initial perception of you may be that you are from Africa; it may not. It does help if they understand that you are an American, and the training in PST will help you consider ways that you will engage with these assumptions."

"It is not uncommon for Ukrainians to refer to African-Americans as “[N-Word]”. Volunteers of color may be called 'a monkey' or may see children’s games with Blackface. Being aware of the history of dehumanization for people of African descent may help inform where this comes from; it does not justify it.

It will be at your discretion to determine the intent. No matter the intent, staff recognizes the impact that hearing that word may invoke hurt and anger. If you view it as unlearned [something the person has never been exposed to], it may be an opportunity for you to educate that person. We are here to support your successful service, and these comments and images can be a huge distraction and obstacle to you.

Know that Peace Corps staff is here to support and encourage you. Do not hesitate to remove yourself from such situations. You are not expected to be subjected to such treatment. You can also find support and understand from other African-American Peace Corps Volunteers serving in Ukraine."


Any volunteer or staff member who has experienced racism can contact any Peace Corps Ukraine staff member. This can include the Program Managers, Safety and Security Manager, Director of Management and Operations, Director of Programs and Training, or Country Director.

If these clear bishes don't shut the fuck up with this tired ass, downright insulting nonsense?!

"Liberal cities aren't really racist at all and the people in cities aren't racist. In fact, they are quite welcoming and diverse like NYC. It's mainly those in rural areas that are merely ignorant and never met Black people before, so they might not like you very much. But don't be discouraged, just remain calm. They too have been brainwashed from the same racist media and stereotypes that we still control and promote worldwide. So please be cool, tolerant, patient, and understanding during these difficult times. Learn from each other and educate them so we can all unite with and love each other. Think to yourself: What would White Jesus do? Let's all bring peace, love, and understanding in PeaceCorps. Remember, charity starts at home abroad."

Meanwhile, there is an alarming, rampant, very large population of actual Nazis and other white supremacist terrorists and extremists in Ukraine, its government, and military!! And no doubt do they have Ukrainians that are nothing but racist apologists for white supremacy, which they help uphold. These same worthless, heartless racist Ukrainians will have no problems attacking, maiming, and oppressing these helpful Black PeaceCorps volunteers.

Nice for what again? Oh yeah, you Black volunteers have to be nice for a sock full of pennies as a weekly PeaceCorps allowance and some resume enhancement for a job / position most likely within a non-Black owned business or government.

The continued use of minimization, soft language, sugar coating, making excuses for racists and their "ignorance" and absolving racists of blame and responsibility is a form of racism that no one dares to talk about and expose.

Black kid: They're throwing rocks at me and my head is bleeding.
White adult: Aw dear, they're just kids, they don't know better. Maybe you all can understand each other and end up as friends. Just talk to them, pray to God, activate your inner Chakra, do some yoga and it'll all be better. *Pats kid on bloody head* Learn to smile and try to lighten up.

Black PeaceCorps Volunteer: These Ukrainians are pissing me off and they are threatening my life. Some of them tried to actually attack me. Y'all gotta do something about this because I don't feel safe here at all.
White adult: Well if you want to continue to be a PeaceCorps member and successfully complete the program, then you need to learn how to deal with different people, manage your emotions, have thick skin, and overcome tough and challenging situations. You gotta be a team player and making sacrifices is necessary after all. It is part of growth. We all have to learn to do things that we don't want to do.

This part is ludicrous:

    The Late JOHN CONYERS CoSponsored this piece of legislation in 2015. It was later rescinded. 🟣US House approves measure blocking training of neo-Nazi militia in Ukraine. 🟣​

    Yup! The USA has zero problem with Nazis, never has, never will.

    Why would Black people want to go in Ukranian knowing they are racists? And if Black people managed to get out after being abused, why the hell go back? So they haven't learnt from salvery, jim crow laws and kkk? Why the hell help racists, why don't they help their own people? This is very telling because this shows that the Black volunteers care so much for the white racists than helping their own people, and they rather be abused the racists too - bloody damn fools! Ukraian and Russia have nothing to do with us, let them fight each other!!!!

    That’s a roundabout ass way to say that Ukraine is a racist ass country.
    Facts. They have a HUGE nazi problem and the media is ignoring it. They are teaching young children to be nazis over there. People like to say Russia is bad with this but Ukraine is a modern nazi factory!

    lmao they are trying to make racism a cultural issue. Like its just how it is in their country you should just let it go, white suppremecy in action
    Exactly. White supremacists love to minimize, erase, twist and downplay the system of white supremacy and its true number of race soliders and white apologists that help back the system.

    Racism and white supremacy are both global and white cultural issues and threats that harm and kill millions if not billions of innocent people.

    To reiterate something NBM has always educated our community on: WHITE PEOPLE ALWAYS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
    The fuck are they talking about "opportunity to educate." Bitch please!
