Ok, the question is this....If a black man is in a country mainly with white people and he sees a black man and nods his head....What is that? I'm just asking cause I had a friend who would say hello and greet them, etc. I just put myself in his situation, if I was in Kenya and I would see a white person pass by.....It really wouldn't make a difference to me...Could it be a bit racist?

We all look for familiar faces when we are in a strange country. It is not racist just our way of feeling more comfortable in an unusual situation.

yes, you could be a bit racist, every one is. Everyone has their preferances in any subject. Just get over the fact that you prefer some things over others, and you will get along fine in the world.

coz in other countries eg europe, asia, middle east, there are no so many blacks, so when you meet a black and you are black its strange and you need to acknowledge, whites travell all over the world, they are all over, so its not strange to see a fellow white in KENYA, .but to see a KENYAN in Spain, or other countries, i will have to stop and say JAMBO, HABARI YA KENYA??

I don't think it's racist. It usually means, how are you doing.
