Black Woman Who Left US For Russia To "Escape Racism" Beaten By New Neighbors
2025-07-22
[ZERO] It might be the most prominent cultural theme of 2025 - Progressive Black Americans with a victim complex relocating overseas. They think they're escaping oppression only to discover that most of the world has zero tolerance for them and that the US is a far better place than they initially thought.

Francine Villa left the US for Russia in 2020, declaring America "discriminatory" and asserting that she feels much safer in her new home. In a 2020 documentary called "Black in the USSR" produced by Russia Today, Villa criticized the racial evils of America and praised Russia as a "safe place for her to walk the streets".

The expat is not a stranger to the East; her great-grandfather moved from Virginia to work as an agriculturist in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and her family has lived in Russia ever since. She was born there, but at a young age, her mother moved her to the United States.

Five years after moving back, Villa is ready to leave. She took to Instagram this week, bloody and battered and calling for help after an argument with her Russian neighbors ended in a beating. Villa claims her young child who was present was also injured during the altercation.

Her post is interlaced with clips of the incident, though, she has suspiciously avoided posting the entire unedited video.

#10  Russians have reached black fatigue rather quickly. Note well, the Hodge twins are calling out their community.

#8  I think the problem is less the 'black' thing and more the 'a$$hole' thing.

#7  The young woman's grandfather worked with the Bolsheviks in the 1930s, so despite what you may think about Russians now, and despite all the braying Russian jackasses wishing a return of what Russian conservatives call the "Red Ghost", no one wants those guys back in power.

I s'pect she shot her mouth off about that and reaped a beating. Sorry she had to endure a beating for that, but that's Russia Today.

#6  Up until a few years ago the Russian word in the Russian language dictionary for Negro was the 'N' word.

#5  ^Actually, Michael, chornozopyi = black ass is a term for anyone who isn't white European.

#4  ...Russian slang for the people we refer to as Black or African American is 'Chernozhopy'.

I shall not translate it, but I will say that in it's actual meaning, it makes the n-word look like a quiet, affectionate compliment.

I would never wish a beating on anyone, but I have a hard time understanding how she could not have known this.

#2  She didn't realize that the work slave was derived from slav. Yeah, no guilt.

Russians don't have white guilt?
