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.

Am I bad for saying that? ;^)
I think she should go to Haiti and take her kids with her. No evil white people there to speak of. She can give herself and her family the benefit of a black culture undiluted y any white influence
Move to Haiti, you’ll be safe from whites there!!🤓

GMTA! :-)
Black kids too often grow up in homes without two parents living together and devoted to their children. And this is somehow the fault of white people?
See Post 23...
Try Somalia.
A subtle but interesting and unsurprising point: every reference to black or brown is capitalized but white is always lower case. More proof that this whole trend is just black supremacy masquerading as grievance mongering.
I noticed every issue she raised is bad in the Black Communities. Why not move to a White Community? It’s legal. My next door neighbor has 3 sons: one is a doctor, one is an architect and one is a business executive.
I was going to post that all true Americans will THANK YOU for taking you and your future racist progeny to some other country in the world where racism against another race or color isn’t being constantly perpetuated but then had to laugh at this moron for actually being dumb enough to believe that there is such a place. maybe S.A.? I hear they’ll even give a farm to folks like you. you know...a farm stolen from some “racist” white folks because they weren’t black.
Well that makes THREE of us! LOL
Dingbat thinks it’s bad here? Just wait until the Real World bites her…..
She doesn’t mention her husband - the children’s father.
Unless any child - black or white - grows up in a normal two parent household - that kid will be disadvantaged. No matter where they live.
That makes THREE of us with the same suggestion. I hope she takes it!
Gun violence, poor academic achievement, and high rates of lifestyle-induced illness: Whitey’s fault.
Japan won’t take her. They’re extremely restrictive on foreigners even becoming citizens, especially non-Asians or muslims. So, she’ll have to look high and low, maybe Madagascar?
I hear Haiti’s nice this time of year.
If I were black, I wouldn’t want to raise my black children here either. Primarily due to the concern that they’d be murdered by other blacks, for whom homicide is a recreational activity.
