Chris Rock summed up the black experience in the United States kind of perfectly during his HBO special Never Scared more than a decade ago: If youre black, you got to look at America a little bit different, he joked, stone-faced. You got to look at America like the uncle who paid for you to go to college but who molested you.
Since then, that generous uncle has moved from molesting to killing, with the list of victims growing by the day: the Charleston 9. Freddie Gray. Michael Brown. Rekia Boyd. Eric Garner. Tamir Rice. John Crawford III. Yuvette Henderson. Trayvon Martin.
Now, with only seconds left on the clock for that one person inside 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to consistently fight for some critical black issuesfrom universal health care and clemency for nonviolent drug offenders to the overall improvement of black male livespre-election jitters might be setting in, and some African Americans may want out.
But where do you move outside the good ol U.S. of A. to fulfill the type of vision you have for yourself and your family, where you can be as black as you want to be without fearing for your safety? Where, literally on earth, can you go and maintainor even enhancethe kind of lifestyle youre accustomed to, from robust career opportunities to world-class health care?
Turns out that the optionsgive or take a potential visa drama or twohave expanded far beyond traditional European go-to spots, like London and Paris. We hollered at our friends over at the Nomadness Travel Tribe (their Facebook page has become a hub for black expats) to come up with a list of five destinations black people can escape to if America doesnt work out.
Please note, however: No country is an across-the-board utopia...

I haven’t read past this “ by: Tomika Anderson” and I know from the title, and this, it’s going to be hatefest on whitey.
Ugh. And, when trying to read the article from the source, my university mal-ware identified it as malicious URL.
Game over, the quarterback is toast. (but apparently only light toast, not totally burnt, cause that would be racist)
If they "act as black as they want to be" in these countries, as Tomika puts it, the vision they have will change dramatically as these places will no longer welcome them.
These places, unlike the US, will not tolerate bad behavior.
Don't bring your criminal ways to Thailand. They will "whoop yo' ass."

That’s great until they find out their new countries don’t really care how we did it here in the old country.
