    Being of African descent and living in the West, this touched me seriously. Thank you for showing this man decency and respect. That's all we really need.... Everything else is propaganda and fluff. We are tired of seeing it. It does nothing with Bigotry. We can live together, we can live apart. We can trade and not lose respect for each other. Respect the African/Black man...in return you will gain a friend. I can't say that about everyone...but I'm saying this from the heart. We all fall short...but never back into bigotry. I shared this is with you, because you demonstrated respect to this man. Far away from his Homeland. But he calls Russia Home as well.
