As this administration draws to a close, Audrey Edwards is packing as fast as the Obamas.

By January 20, Inauguration Day, she'll be nearly 6,000 miles away from Brooklyn not watching the festivities in Paris.

A journalist and real estate agent, she first got the idea to leave the US when former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani ran for president in 2008. But when Trump rode down that gilded escalator, called Mexicans rapists, and announced his candidacy for Commander-in-Chief, Edwards put friends on notice:

"If somebody as crazy as this guy gets in, I'm out of here."

She plans to spend a good deal of the next four years traveling with New York as home base. Her first stop is the City of Lights, where she spent three months in 2008, after three people close to her died in the course of a year....

“she’ll be nearly 6,000 miles away from Brooklyn not watching the festivities in Paris”

She’s clearly got her finger on the pulse of the life most inner city blacks experience. /s

It is actually fairly hard to renounce US citizenship. That said I wish her well. What many untraveled leftist don’t realize is that most places area worse for their cause.

Crime and “youts” troubles are increasing in Paris, more’s the pity. Saw a piece today saying Chinese tourists are switching to Russia as they now regard Paris as unsafe!

She runs to Paris, France in order to be safer?
Okay. Out of Teflon Don’s frying pan, and into the Jihad fires! Bets are high that she will be trying to move back to the states before the end of this year.

How many Black Americans are really leaving? The lady in this story has money and the means to travel. The article gives a couple of examples. Is there an exodus? I'm getting tired of these stories of unhappy people who are "devastated" that their choice for president didn't win.

Ultimately, he intends to hold dual citizenship, which will truly make him African-American.

Interesting. As far as I know, you can't take foreign citizenship without losing your US citizenship.
