GM Annette, I agree that that woman was jealous and envious of your beauty. Obviously, she’s a miserable person. I am an African American woman who lives in the USA. Unfortunately, I have experienced racism too often. It’s happened so often that I recognize what’s going on very soon. I confront them whenever it happens. So sorry you experienced it, it’s a bad feeling. Much love to Slavi for staying with you. He’s a great man/husband and father. God bless you and your beautiful family! Much love❤️🙏🏽
You right, Sister, jealousy, low self esteem, ignorance and lack of eposure to the outside world are the basis of racial discrimination. Sadly, it happens in most of the so-called 'civilised' countries. 🤎
I dealt with a similar situation. You’re beautiful & black, some people can’t stand that aka jealousy. That was an envious “stare”. I know it’s against our better judgement to not make a scene BUT this is what works. The first sign of disrespect was stalling with your documents then she tried to only let your husband and son in. Your husband did the absolute right thing by voicing he’s staying with you. Always speak firmly, directly and point out the wrong doings and that’s what does the trick. I’m sorry that you had to experience this. Trust me, they don’t think you’re going to blow up the place, they actually admire you. I’m black with a biracial daughter and unfortunately have to deal with this nonsense. Don’t be upset, instead understand that she’s unfortunately full of hate but that isn’t your problem.
@@AnnetteandSlavi I have heard Turkish people rarely see black people, maybe she put you through that just to stay with you longer. I hope that's the case.
@@jacintaongira6959Us too in my country Kenya where I come from,I had never seen a Turkish person b4.Is when I travelled is when I came to see them.But there is no day I have ever treated them horribly.But them they want to treat us black People horribly because of our skin color.Thats there problem cos we are very much blessed
I agree totally, speak up to tell them and not allow them to treat you unfairly . That’s a very unfair inhumane treatment you have experienced . So sorry. I have experienced this before too and recently I experienced this in Germany on my way driving to Austria . Almost reaching the border by car to Austria , the civilian police pulled me aside with their siren . I was shocked but obediently followed . They introduced themselves as from this State ( won’t mention it ) in Germany near the border , and I gladly told them which German State I came from. They asked for my papers and I had everything. I quickly questioned why they picked on me amongst all the cars on the motorway . They didn’t respond well and I bluntly told them , it’s all because of my skin color that they pulled me aside , they said no no no continuously. I insisted that I was right . They had no good reason , they asked if they could open my car boot and I said go ahead but there is nothing to hide , what are you searching for ? Look at me ,do I look like …... I only had a little suitcase, a bouquet 💐, traveling to visit my sister who had birthday on that day I would arrive. I became so loud to them saying they were racist picking me out from the line of cars like that . I could see they were shocked that I knew what they thought . I was right it was because of my skin color but they could not admit it. I was so furious and this experience bothered me for weeks. I got home safe thank God . I do not know why they spoke English to me instead of German language. Maybe because I was driving alone and of course my skin color ? We would never know what goes on people’s heads. I had everything they wanted to see and they found no fault, so why the stop , a terrible experience I had . I confirmed later on with somebody I know that it is true that they do that by purpose to pick on us black people because of past experiences. But there are so many with their skin color driving either illegal things or illegally and they are too blind to pick on their own people . My experience was last year few months ago and I had forgotten about it . But your experience made me so outrageous thatI remembered mine and wanted to also share it . I don’t experience a lot of this here though . But one experience as such never goes away easily . I pray for peace in our hearts , in your heart especially because you are carrying a beautiful innocent one in you . Blessings 🥰🙏🏽
Istanbul is terrible!! I had the same experience years ago( with a 3 months old baby, breastfeeding 🤱, husband). They let my husband through and said he can go tour the city if he likes- to which my husband said” that’s my wife and son!”. They answered “ you can take the son since he is German “ My husband of course blew up & made it clear that their behavior was in acceptable!!! That was the last time I flew through Istanbul ‼️ So sorry about your experience 💖
I know you’re pregnant and you don’t need any additional unnecessary stress but I encourage you to make a formal complaint. That woman discriminated against you which is probably in violation of the airline’s policy. This was a micro aggression, a malicious employee trying to exert power over you. She had no right to do that. If you have Twitter or Instagram, send them a succinct message. She should not have treated you like that. Once your documents were checked, you should have been allowed to board. If everyone complained about these rogue airline workers, they would be forced to treat all passengers equally, fairly and respectfully. I’m sorry you experienced that nonsense in front of your husband and son. Make a formal complaint. I’ve had my own experiences with (and without) my tall “intimidating looking” (their words)African husband in Germany, Canada and France. Trust me, a formal complaint is the way to go.
@AnnetteandSlavi Glad to hear it. What she did spoke volumes about her character. Her unprofessionalism was a disgrace to the airline. Expose her! BTW, you look beautiful as a pregnant woman. This is the first time seeing your channel. I wish you a peaceful, uneventful pregnancy and a smooth uncomplicated delivery of your healthy baby.
Traveling while black these are some of the experiences we have to go through - it happened to me in France years ago - sad sad - glad you made it home safely.
That is not her job. She's just a flight attendant. She overstepped her boundaries. She's not immigration and boarder patrol. She's just prejudiced, and you're living the life wants, plus you're more beautiful inside and outside. Girl, enjoy your life, for you will have haters. Many blessings to you and your family
Racism is everywhere. I am a white South African. Married to an British man for 24 years. When we emigrated back to Britain I experienced the rudeness, and they segragated me for an hour from my family. Still after being here in the u.k for 15 years I get treated as a foreigner. Here is a lot of racism.
@@nkepileramokopu4120 I am realy so sorry that you have to experience racism every day. In South Africa you still of course get some people that is racists. Not just white on black, but also black on white, black on black(from other African countries) , black on coloured etc. But I do think the majority of South Africans are trying to work together. Espesialy the younger generation. I think it is out of fear for each other. Some people never want to make the efford to get to know each other. My mother was murdered on her farm at the age of 86 last year, in S.A. I do not hate black people for that. It was just a sick murdering individual.
The problem with white South African,they never take responsibility when black people mention their racism. Black South African only retaliate from the racism they receive from whites South African. Someone being killed in a farm,is the same as one killed in township,it is crime.
Oh my God. I had a horrible experience in Istanbul too when flying to Germany. The staff there are so unfriendly and just mean. Trust me I honestly understand the feeling. I literary felt like crying 😭💔
I suffered racism on Turkish airline and also Instabul. I was returning to Uk I almost missed my flight . I will never use their airline or transit there. They really frustrated coloured people and made us que for the longest time with a lot of interrogation. Sorry for what you went through.
This is the first video i have ever seen of your channel. Thankfully you have a supportive husband. It will hurt him seeing racism towards you or your children. Unfortunately, racism is a reality for many. I had my first experience at 16 and cried and cried.
Hi Annette ❤ we are so sorry that happened. As an interracial couple who is still in long distance, we can only imagine how frustrating that was for you and Slavi. This lady was very cruel because you are pregnant and she didn’t even consider that but just kept discriminating you because you are black. Thank you so much for sharing this because racism is real. We are so proud of you and Slavi for confronting this lady. Much love to you guys ❤
I don't like hearing about racism about our people in abroad it's not always easy ...just recently I saw one of our gal lost a kid in Germanian hospital koz they couldn't attend to her sick kid koz she was black 💔 😢...its really sad
@@AnnetteandSlavimostly these Arabs are the worst ...we are used to them calling us names and saying we smell bad ..yet they don't take a shower for more than a mnth nkt
Sorry my sister Annie some people dont know God forgive her....l thought white people are nice....she should be ashamed of what she did.....We thank Slavi for supporting❤❤❤❤
Hi Annette, I'm so sorry for what you endured at the hands of those evil people. As awful as that experience was for you, it could have been so much worse. I had a family member who was held for a week like a criminal with genuine documents and her husband was informed to leave he refused and as a result he was held for a week in an appalling condition. It was to date the worst of experience of my life. I thought I would never see my loved one again. I still have traumatizing flashbacks of that time just over a year ago. After that experience we heard of business people, medical doctors, people with legal documents, and pregnant women about to give birth held for weeks in some kind of detention center. Praise the Lord you are well and safely at home with your family
Darling it’s good to get reminders because some of us forget and get comfortable. This will help you to deal with future situations. You must be strong.
That's horrible Annette so sorry you had to go through this we are human beings colour shouldn't matter we all have red blood I am so ashamed to call myself white sending you and Slavic and Marcelo lots of love and hugs from Perth western Australia ❤️❤️❤️
Annette so sorry to hear this and I now know how you feel as I have experienced it before. I wanted a seat on a train and the white man refused to allow me to sit next to him. It’s so sad. I live in Europe so I have developed thick skin and just know within my heart that God created me wonderfully, fearfully and beautifully. I love myself too.I can’t believe we are still having issues on race after Covid which had no regard for skin colour. Turkish people are not white either!!!! I think this issue should be highlighted. Pleased to see you’re all back safely. Praise God Loved your holiday vlog btw❤
Hi Annette I’m glad you are ok. Don’t worry racism is everywhere. I’m sorry you are experienced it’s awful feeling been treated differently without no reason. My fiancée is white never been stopped in airport but I get the bad look sometimes. She was just jealous from beauty. Look after yourself. I hope Slavi and marcelo are ok .❤️❤️❤️
My Annie I'm so very very sorry for you're horrible experience 😢 some people are so ignorant they are just jealous of you're beauty. So sorry just remember that this probably won't be the last time it's this crazy world we live in. I can relate. xoxo❤🇺🇸🙏
They get jealous that you're a black woman and a white man chose you as his wife. It's all about racism. Her telling your husband him and your son could go ahead but not you clearly expressed her opinion. I love that he let her know that wasn't going to happen.
annette it’s very sad you experienced such a thing but take it easy for we are all equal in Gods eyes that’s what is important.black is beauty and it will remain
I can feel you Annette racism is real it happens to me in instanbul airport l was connecting my flight to Madrid ,the time for boarding they took me aside to check my visa asking if it was real or fake 😢 and my Kenyan passport,we were with my boyfriend he was told to board the flight when l was left behind good thing he refused, after checking my documents like 5 times they said everything is okay , from the word go l knew they doing this because l am black and my boyfriend is white. So sorry girl ❤❤
This is Everyday, Everywhere this is Why I Believe that God Almighty is Coming Back To Take Care of His People to Jesus We Are All His Children God Bless ❤
I'm so sorry that happened to you..My dad is black and my stepmother is Jewish..God is a God of love and on Judgement Day, God will see no color.. Can't people see what is going on around the world.? .. It is still time to get it right! Stop the hate and love everyone like Christ loves... Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior 🙏❤️ love you all.
Greetings from New Mexico❤. It's so tragic that racism is still so prevalent. What a hateful woman to have treated you so terribly. It is ignorance and fear that fuels racism and it is shameful. I am so sorry that you had to endure that awful, degrading experience. You're a beautiful woman and very precious. This world has a lot of hate in it, but it also has a lot of loving wonderful people! I hope you never have to go through anything like that again. Sending love and all good wishes to you and Slavi and your darling children. ❤❤❤❤
Sorry you experienced that and now you will be more strong next time you come across another one. I have gone through the same here in uk and now I also learned to speak up for myself.
Please put a complaint against the incident to: The Government of Turkey and send a report to your own Government and the Government of Germany. Cheers.
Dear Annette , i agree with many of the posters that point out the fact that your supermodel looks as well as your ability to travel to the Maldives with your beautiful family will incite envy from racists. They believe African/black people should not have access to respect or the ability to travel to destinations they can only dream of. Please continue to travel and share your stories with us (the good and the bad). Love from Canada.
Oooh dear. Sorry 😞about that rude experience . You are Loved❤by us🇺🇬, your family 🇰🇪 and above all by your sweet hubby Slavi💕💕 Germany 🇩🇪and his entire family💕💕💕 💖.
Annette I am so sorry to hear what you went through and of all places, at the Turkish airport. That person had no compassion for your situation, but racism still exists today in a lot of forms. Do not lose your cool. That's what she wanted so she would have an excuse for what she was doing. May God's blessings be with you all wherever you go 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️👶🏻
This is awful 😢 racism is real some of those mean individuals are always everywhere. I am glad Slavi stayed back with you . Shame to that lady!! Sorry you went through this darlings
I am so sorry you had to experience that discrimination at the airport. I am a black American and I have do know what it feel like to experience discrimination. I pray you will continue to be happy and strong. You are beautiful and talented. I enjoy your show regularly.
Im 50% African and I'm 40% irish, 10%......so pretty much black and white, moms family didn't accept me because I'm half black, my dads family was the same way, but didn't except .white ...i never met any of them, except my moms sister aunt sherry.....I'm 51 now and still going through it 😭 5:54
Yes. I still have PTSD from the racism I experienced living and working in Mexico City for two and a half years. I experienced it on a daily basis there. I came back to the USA 17 years ago, and my blood pressure still spikes whenever I think about it. But I try NOT to think about it.
Racism should be condemned in the strongest terms possible. Sorry dear Annette! Let us hold our heads high because we are all the same except for the colour of our skins.
Racism shows ignorance and the evil that lies in a person’s heart without the love of God in their life. Nothing will change unless the hearts of people change to a heart of love…just thought I should say this
Sorry to hear about your terrible experience. It feels terrible but what works is to report it right away so that an investigation is started. You have social media presence so telling your story is a great start. The airline needs to reach out to you for the humilation, distress it caused you and your family due to an incompetent employee. You cant pay your money and be mistreated like that. I always call it out and a few years ago threw a fit in amesterdam on a flight to the US when I noticed I was the only one being told to remove my mask to see my face as we boarded and no other person was being told to. I chewed that lady out right there and she turned all red and s***. Everyone got uncomfortable and were "maming me stupid." They realized they had landed on the wrong one.I got home, wrote to the airline and made a big fuss. So you cant pay your money and accept to be treated poorly. We must leave this world a better place for our children and their children and that's always in my thoughts. All the best❤
Exactly which words did you use ? I want to be ready for when this happens . Do you say , “Are you treating me like this because I look different ? “ or what do you say ?
@@wambosunshine5600 With racism, you just know. So you put the racist person on the defensive. Use "I" statements and explain exactly what you saw the person do or say. Ask why questions and always ask for a manager or supervisor when you feel the person isn't hearing you. Ask people around you to video tape the situation and always throw in how you will be contacting your lawyer. This has always worked and I don't mince my words and I have no shame with raising my voice and making a scene. It's one life my friend. Never ever keep quiet about an injustice you see or feel.
@@wambosunshine5600 if it's at the airport just say let me talk to your boss or the manager here, and insist on that until a manager comes to listen to you.
Happy Thursday to you guys, listen my friend that woman don't have a man/ husband to treat her well like you and your husband, she witch you for your color and your husband, her mind is bad bless up yourself and your family God is always watching over you guys from Mobay city in Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲 nuff respect.
Ann so sorry about that experience. I love how Slavi stood firm with you, he's a great partner. I can't imagine how you felt standing for an hour. That lady should be fired, she was obviously a racist and jelousy. Such a bitter soul.
I have waited forever for you to talk about this, and I am glad you did, and I'm really sorry you even had to experience it even worse in a situation as bad as that. Listening to your story made me so angry, more so because no one thought there was a problem with holding a pregnant legal German citizen hostage in a fucking airport just because she's black! Awuoro. Makes me so furious that people spread hate for no reason because of skin color, and it's something that's literally passed down to generations. My heart bleeds for my continent people!
Sorry about the unfortunate incident dear. We pray it never happens again. We thank God you had not experienced it before and as you've mentioned it Im also among those who fear Germany because of the racism they about there
I live in France but here "silent racism" is real😂, I'm so used to it. I call it 'energy" that i never give my time too. Though sometimes you have to answer back to "shut" them up even if they don't say a word😅
Black people in general experience racism in schools, business, workplace, health care areas, religious settings, and while traveling. You see your very existence disturbs others and causes uneasiness. To think our children must experience that from the time they are conceived. THANKFULLY WE ARE STRONG AND RESILIENT AND THANKFULLY THERE ARE MORE GOOD PEOPLE OF ALL RACES IN THIS WORLD❣️❣️❣️❣️. BRUSH IT OFF, WE ALWAYS HAVE.🥰
I had an appointment here in German hospital and i had to remove some clothes because it was an exray. So, i was in the changing room and the junior employee came to check on me but found that i was not done so she went ahead and called the senior radiologist and she told her i was taking long which i wasn't. The radiologist stood there and guess what the kept opening the door for me and mind you i was partly naked i close she pushes the door open!! So unprofessional and rude i never reacted but i swear if such kind of shit happens to me again i must act immediately!!!!
I am African and i had the same discriminatory treatment at the Nairobi International airport when i was flying back to Germany . I am very dark and had my natural hair , they told me they didn't believe i have been living in Europe for so so long and i am still dark and have no hair extensions 😢 i missed my return flight to Berlin and had to board 6 hours later !!! Racism is everywhere even in Africa
The blood of Jesus is against that woman. She will not be in that position to treat another black person that way. I’m so upset hearing you describe your experience. God bless you and your family. You’re covered Annette. ❤❤❤
Annette, first of all Turkish people are not considered "white". It's possible that she had faced racism from Europeans and seeing you having it so easy with a European husband made her jealous. LOL! The things that make some people behave obnoxiously! Also from where I sit watching the world for my 62 years, there has been way more concerns about terr..ism with persons from that region than black Africans. I'm glad you maintained your dignity and not let her drag you into a state to give her reasons to say you're a threat. It's good to hear your story on the social media because I'm sure her employers will not feel good about the image she's painted of her people.
Actually Turkish people are white. They are literally around the Caucasus region where the term "Caucasian" is gotten from. Just cos they have a different culture or might physically look different from north/western Europeans (which is not always the case cos there literally blonde haired blue eyed Turkish people, not all of them are dark haired brown eyes). It doesn't make them any less white. Obviously, the farther you are from the equator, the cooler it becomes, hence why people from north/west Europe tend to be paler. As for race, they are definitely considered white.
This is Turkey ... This world is so unpleasant. Guess what, our lord and Savior Jesus have you as his loving child. As per some comments below are true. You are beautiful inside and out, have a loving family and a Christian. These experiences truly separates the good from the bad.
Annete there is something I tell you it happened to me I I hate rushhing with time so what I did was bord first so I was checked and at the security I was in wonder the man said am sorry so for I suppose to go then to the 🚢 but i f you watched kish hope you get your germny pass you can then pass without this hassle and bazzel wish uou good luck for the future
I have experienced racism so much in different airports so much that i'm actually shocked when the treatment is good😂 Growing up in South Africa i experienced extreme racism that i've developed a thick skin. My family and i recently took a trip to Cape town in Knysna. We were staying at Euphoria golf Estate and we went to the local pool park. When we arrived the place was full of caucasian people and immediately we entered they all left😂 Oh my God you should have seen the disgust on their faces🙆🏽♀️
@@AnnetteandSlavi South Africa received freedom in 1994 when Nelson Mandela was released but racism is still there. We are so used to it that we are not shocked when we experience it even when we travel abroad. But hey people are not the same, I have white friends and they are great people.
South african blacks you don't have shame when you complained about racism while you hate your fellow African Brothers and sisters in the continent. As an African I regret the way I was feeling for black south Africans the way whites treated them badly during Aparthide Era.
@@Tonto773Besides that, Racist white supremacists are trying to make Cape Town their own little country in South Africa. They wish it was a 'whites only' city. But of course that is not happening.
Am disgusted with such treatment, was once discriminated flight from Paris to Barcelona!!! She dared to want to let everyone behind me pass but I didn't let the woman do that until she cleared with me!!!! Which airline was it??? We need to know it😌😌
I follow this lady on RU-vid an she lives in Germany also an she complains about the same thing. She also a Black Woman an she went threw it during her pregnancy stay in the hospital.. This is so sad that us People of Color still go threw this crap in 2024 it makes me so damn angry & its sad😢 God Bless you and your family🙏🏽
@@AnnetteandSlavi me too I hope not.. Her baby is now almost 2yrs ole. But I hope u have a great stay at the hospital with your family. An I hope u Never have to go threw being treated like that ever again. An I'm so so happy your husband was with u🥰🙏🏽.
Annette, I must say that you have been very lucky/fortunate to have experiencee racism just now for the very 1st time! Racism has been around since the world was created, and it has no plans on leaving! Everyone's country, states & cities have people experiencing 'RACISM'! It's an 'UGLY' word, but it's reality. We even experience racism , within our own culture & people & race. Try figuring that one out! Continue to not take this to heart and continue to pray for people like that! Happy Thursday!
That is what they do to intimidate you. Or perhaps they felt that you appear to be pregnant but doesn’t mean that you really are. She didn’t want your husband to perhaps see them interrogating you until you breakdown. Then they will body check you. They even give something to drink so you go to the bathroom and hopefully pass whatever you have inside out. But goo for your husband he did not leave your side. This happens frequently especially coming from the Caribbean to London,then on to Frankfurt. I never had such experience in Germany at all. But I have seen it happened to others. Then once from Paris to Geneva they took my passport and said I didn’t have a visa. I told him I do know this and I am allowed to travel here without. And I can stay for up to oaths without one. So sir what is the issue now. He so I will check and be back. When he returned he only gave me my passport and I said thank you. There was a Japanese that he took with them when the train stopped in mGeneva I 😢didn’t see this guy anymore and hoped he was okay. I saw him two days later so I guess it turned out okay for him as well. The thing is check on all the rules coming into that country what is needed by you and could possibly go wrong upon landing there.how long you can stay now adays like your (ESTA)ELECTRONIC System for Travel Authorization under the visa waiver program. Schengen visa . You must tell them which countries are traveling to. But in a long run they in the west will have to make changes for traveling to europe because going to Africa and the Caribbean will get tougher as well. We will then discriminate who comes in our country as well. Especially in Africa as well.and the Caribbean. They feel we need them more than they us. While that may be so. But Africa is rising. Currency change as well.this is changing rapidly.throughout the continent of Africa.
Oh my lovely.. From the UK bad experience to this again. Its horrifying. I'm so sorry that you jad to experience this. That's so rude, unethical and inhuman. Pole sana
Shame on that woman...... I am so sorry that you and family had such a foolish experience with this situation. But I am glad that you all made it home safe. Evenn though it was your first, I pray that your next trip will be a lot more less stressful 🙏🏾
I can feel ur pain Annette racism is real and it hurts i remember the first time i went to a certain resturant here in canada but all people left the area 😢😢i know how exactly it feels.sorry
Istanbul? I am not surprised. I always cringe when I have to travel via Istanbul. Last time, they were inspecting my passport as if it's a fake passport. I was so annoyed. Sorry that you had to go through that.
I suggest that you’ll write a letter to the airline and tell them what happened and if you got the name of that woman Include it in your letter. They should know about your terrible experience.
