Being Black in the EU – Experiences of people of African descent

FRA’s first Being Black in the EU report exposed widespread and entrenched racism against people of African descent in Europe. Now updated with new data, this report revisits the situation revealing persistent racial discrimination, harassment and violence. Overall, experiences of racial discrimination increased in the EU countries since 2016, reaching as high as 77%. The lack of progress is alarming despite binding anti-discrimination law in the EU since 2000 and significant EU policy developments since then.

Remember, casual reader, that “Republican” means very different things outside the US: typically important elements of republicanism are no official or eatabliahed church, no hereditary leaders, equality in voting to determine the government.

Often this extends to outright anti-clericism, forcing royal families out (or killing them), and belief in non-ethnic states, and reparations by the ruling elites.
