As a Black woman living in the United States, the prospect of becoming a parent one day is both exciting and terrifying. The world offers endless possibilities and opportunities, but ignoring the challenges and harsh realities that disproportionately affect Black and Brown communities is impossible.
Unfortunately, there’s no escaping the pigment of your skin and the pervasive sting of systemic racism and racial discrimination. This reality exists across the globe. Altogether, every country is affected, as countries of color are taken hold by colorism. Comparatively, there’s something sinister about American racism. Even European countries, the OG colonizers, look at us incredulously.
Here are some reasons why I won’t be raising my future Black children in the United States.
Gun Violence in America
Poor Education Systems
Disparities Harming Black Communities
Considering the Future
This decision is rooted in love and the desire to provide children a safer, more equitable, and nurturing environment. But this conversation should go beyond individual choices and focus on collective and community efforts. Can the U.S. work towards positive change and make the world a better place for our future kids to thrive? In the end, it’s about doing what’s best for our children and future children and ensuring that they have the opportunities and support they need to lead fulfilling lives.

Did this whiny negress mention the little white girl getting her head bashed in by one of her species?
Or the violent crimes and which species is committing the vast majority of them?
Honey, if don’t vote for Joe, you ain’t black, and your kids aren’t black either. And you ain’t black if you don’t stay here on the Rat’s plantation, and vote DemoRAT. Ten to One, unless you settle your ass in Africa, the person running the country you do land in, ain’t going to be black.
I don't think this lady will make the effort but she might surprise me.
I wish her the best, some place else.
What was the goal of the back-to-Africa movement?
In 1816, white abolitionists and slaveholders formed the American Colonization Society (ACS) in Washington, D.C. The groups disagreed fundamentally on slavery and the role of African Americans in American society, but they were united by the goal of resettling freed African Americans in Africa
From explorepinebluff.com (because of ties to Pine Bluff, Arkansas)
Summary of the history:
Spoiler:
The eventual disillusionment of those who migrated to the North and the frustrations of struggling to cope with urban life set the scene for the back-to-Africa movement of the 1920s, established by Marcus Garvey.
Good luck. All those issues she names are caused predominately by blacks. Black leaders in the USA have become rich off the backs of blacks. Using them as useful idiots. Black on black crime is one of the biggest issues facing the black community.
Can she take some more ingrates with her also?
I wish you a fond adieu, Aysia, and, in your efforts to protect your future children from “colorism,” recommend that you raise your children in some place like the Congo, thus “ensuring that they have the opportunities and support they need to lead fulfilling lives.”
Keep in touch.
Perfect solution. Haiti is great and getting greater every day. Bunch of peaceful Blacks there, nothing like Minneapolis.
Don Draper is right, plus he rocks.
time until she runs back to the US after discovering how everywhere else is 10 times worse..
3..2..1..
We should all chip in and buy her a one way ticket there!
The kiddos were here for a week; we had a good time, but are now exhausted!
Hope that all is well with you & yours!
I’ve heard Haiti is nice this time of year. Lots of fellow victims there to bond with.
There are always the pluses & the minuses, but the pluses always win in the final analysis, after the exhaustion fades away. 🙂👍
GOOD, GO TO HATI.
Great minds think alike.😂
I hadn't clicked on the link until after I responded to you.
The Grand's second song comes out in 6 days. Yes, I've heard it and I like it.
