Уште за црнците во Германија од колоритов денес, тие се околу 800,000 и се плашат од сопствената сенка. Расизмот е најзастапен во Германија.
Еден интересен разговор помеѓу црнец од УСА кој сакал да прошета низ Германија и учителка која предава во Германија како го советува пред 6 години, сега кој знае како би го советувала:

I don't think racism is worse in Germany than in USA, its just expressed differently.
In USA, due to the long history with black slaves, there is a huge historical wound concerning that in their consciousness. In Germany, there was no such contact with blacks. So there is no overt hatred for blacks from personal history of the country.
Now comes the bad news. There is indeed racism against blacks In USA and in Germany, just like everywhere. Very sad fact, but its true. It makes no logical sense, but its a fact.
Specifically in Germany, there has been some recent history of hatred towards blacks. Obviously, there is the famous event in which Hitler in 1936 was shocked when Jesse Owen, the famous US runner scored some gold medal in the Berlin olympics. Hitler had written some damning passages against many races, blacks being among them. This was a long time ago, and Nazism is more or less dead. But there are still problems in Germany with racism.
First of all, the German mentality. They are cold, calculating, and reserved people who tolerate very little inefficiency and tolerate even less something different. There is also a large amount of Neo-Nazi white-supremacists around, which the police tries to control, but is unable to eliminate. This is mainly in the poor East German regions, so avoid any city that is there. Unfortunately, Berlin has a high Neo-Nazi crime rate, so watch out.
Secondly, there is a recent historical conflict going on with Turkish people. After the war, Germany hired thousands of Turkish workers to do cheap labour and clean up their ruined cities. These Turkish people eventually stayed and raised or brought families there. Now, it's a big problem. Turkish people are often discriminated against and given crappy jobs. They have their own institutions and religious centers, which have been at times set on fire by racist Germans. Having dark skin in Germany is, unfortunately, not seen favorably. But of course, Germans are very reserved on the surface and they will be fake-polite for the most part, especially in larger, richer cities in the Western regions. Nevertheless, their true feelings are in general extremely pro-white, and pro-German.
Go ahead and visit or study in Germany! Don't let this stop you. Just be careful. Sadly, in this insane world, people jusdge by color, especially in small, traditional, ego-centric countries like Germany.

I lived there for two years teaching English. I saw first hand their "polite" racism. Here's an example: I had a class with international students learning English. There was a girl from Africa there. Three German students were in my class. They all came up to me after class and said they did not want to be placed in discussion groups with "that African". I had no choice except to do as they said, since they were adult students, two of them engineers and one architect. I can tell you one thing, Germans are often direct and rude in this way, and they don't tolerate anything that makes them feel "uncomfortable". I left Germany with one extra year in my teaching contract because I couldn't stand their fake politeness anymore.
I'd suggest you not stay there long. Good luck!
