In the United States, the issue has gotten the attention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Urban League, which signed a letter to the president of the European Union calling for fair and humane treatment for all. Pause Current Time 1:02 / Duration 3:52 LQ CaptionsFullscreen Unmute 0 Black Ukraine refugees allege racism, discrimination From day one of the Russian invasion, reports of discrimination at Ukraine's border began to surface. We Said It: It's The World's Best Pillowcase Ad Ad Blissy We Said It: It's The World's Best Pillowcase One student from Ghana described what she saw and experienced. "Mostly they would, they would consider White people first. White people first, Indian people, Arabic people before Black people," said Ethel Ansaeh Otto. Another student, from Morocco, said: "We went to the train station and they will not let us in." "And when they did let us in, they were like, 'You have to give us money because this is, this is not for free for you because you are foreign. This is not free for you," said Selma El Alaui. On social media, some wrote it off as Russian propaganda. But Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, tweeted a video in early March saying an emergency hotline had been established specifically for African, Asian and other students wishing to leave Ukraine. Historian Kimberly St. Julian Varnon has studied race, foreign policy and Russia for years and called Ukraine home back in 2013. "It's one of those things where, if you are a person of color and you work in Eastern Europe, and you research Eastern Europe, racism isn't new, I mean, racial discrimination is not new, but to see it on display and being exacerbated by war, it was just really heart-wrenching," she told CBS News' Jericka Duncan. Especially heart-wrenching, she said, when considering Syrian refugees who in December sought help at the Poland-Belarus border with little to no success. "I think the key difference is race and ethnicity," St. Julian Varnon said. While social media has helped expose racial discrimination, St. Julian-Varnon said it has also been used by Russia to spread disinformation. Students from Africa and other countries make up a small population. But as St. Julian Varnon explained, it is not OK for people to be discriminated against in this way. She is in touch with several students who made it to Hungary. She said many of them are now considered third-country nationals and have been told they must move to another country or go back home within 30 days. www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/black-ukraine-refugees-allege-discrimination-while-trying-to-escape-russian-invasion/ar-AAUYwsx?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531

When they have the upper-hand, it's funny how that works.

When you copy and paste articles like this it only takes a few extra minutes to edit and clean up the text to make it easier for people to read. When I see things that don't belong, like "Pillow Case" ads and large gaps, I stop and read no further. It's just a suggestion, so you can ignore it if you choose.

Considering the fact I'm not a liberal and that I have zero interest in posting on your forum, whether you open it to guests is of no concern to me.

I know you speak for everyone in here but for everyone on proboards, I doubt it. This board is limited to the shoutbox mainly. Where someone posts every 4 days. I hit a ball. 4 days later, I fell in a hole. 4 days later, my knee hurts lol. I'll bet you have a IQ of near 90. Okay keep up the good works.

You are the only person I know of that has a forum someone helped you make, but you're too cowardly to use it. You don't have the gonads to open your forum to others. I don't need to chat on this dead to the world forum. I made a nice forum. So unlike you I will use it. NO FEAR.

The only thing that gets discussed there is what everyone has for lunch, stupid posts from sandman and your shilling sister, and the name calling from the same two. All of the guest posts made since you opened it up have been made bu you. You need to make one more screen name. Sybil would fit you so well.

Actually, I just finished having “linner”. I just looked out my back door and thought I saw you, but I was mistaken, it was luckily just a skunk.

I'm glad you've come to the conclusion you don't need this forum and yours is where you will post. Thank you.
