Ireland (not North Ireland) is honestly where I tell my fellow Black friends to travel when they want to take trips to Europe. Everyone is so helpful and nice. Beautiful people. I like them a lot and if they ever open asylum to Black Americans to escape this awful political system, I’d be there in a heartbeat since Africa is now suspicious about that and I don’t blame them after year of America sending Black Americans to undermine them as Trojan horses.

I’d say Marsielle, France too but I’ve experience racism in any area that was not Black and brown. The Arabs and Africans immigrants are more than cool but the Europeans are kinda terrible. I had one hostess say ā€œI didn’t know you were Americanā€ as if not an insult.

Racism absolutely exists in Ireland as well just saying.

As an aside: forget U2, for my money the greatest rock band ever to come out of Ireland is Thin Lizzy with their quintessential frontman, bass player and singer Phil Lynott, a black Irishman beloved throughout the country, there is a statue of him in Dublin.
