In a trend some refer to as “Blaxit,” Black Americans are taking advantage of Africa’s significantly reduced cost of living and perceived lack of racism and racial discrimination.

Black Lives Matter?
Admit it, you’re just trying to convince yourselves cause the rest of us don’t give a shit what color people are.
However, an uncivilized culture is always going to draw the side eye from those of us who value our lives and property.
It depends on where they go. If its Africa, its a lot of hate. No sane person would go there. If its Canada, the Canadians have not figured out what useless parasites these angry people are yet and so they can run their BLM game without interference.
