This weekend I had a short but interesting conversation with a young black man in a local convenience store. I asked him if he thought Ukrainians could win, and then he said I hope not. We both had stopped for gas, and we both were in a hurry, so I didn't get a chance to ask him why he wanted the Russians to win, or at least Ukrainians to lose. However, that got me thinking. I wonder about the attitude among black people about the Ukrainians and the Russians and the war in Ukraine. I'm placing this post here because I'm interested in how black people see this conflict. And if it differs that much from the general opinion of white people. Because if the Russians win, it won't be good for any of us.
