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.

Probably gonna do the old Whoopi Cushion Goldberg move. She says she’s leaving and all she does is change her muumuu.
Oh yes. The US is such a horrible terrible hotbed of hatred and racism by whites to blacks.
I think she would be very very happy in a country that is 95% black.
Like Haiti. So move it sister.
One down.

Omg! ‘Merica be sooooooooooooo raciss! Imma raise mah chillens esswahre”
Idjits all and so brainwashed
Basically, the fault of Lyndon B Johnson....
Does this person capitalize “white”? Or is it now customary to avoid using that word altogether?
I have no complaints. If this criminal idiot raises her kids outside the U.S.A. the crime rate will be lower.

I find it ironic that blacks in Africa do not like American blacks. It’s all about the attitude that too many black Americans have. Yes, a lot are good upstanding people who don’t deserve to be lumped in with the far higher black percentage that are not good people.
I’ve heard Haiti is lovely this time of year
Basically, the fault of Lyndon B Johnson....

What was it that LBJ did and said something about 200 years?
He wasn’t wrong.
Gun Violence in America
That would be black gun violence. A recent study from a black statistician revealed the police shot whites
proportionally more often than blacks.
Poor Education Systems
The education systems in the US have been severely dumbed down in order to graduate more blacks, so that now many
black and white HS graduates cannot read.
Disparities Harming Black Communities
By this comment, is there an incentive for businesses and health care facilities to remain in black communities when
shoplifting, vandalism and robbery of employees are rampant?
Considering the Future
How can the future be adequately considered when the present is hopelessly viewed through a racist lens?
shux, we will miss you
I’ve met more than a few African blacks. Very fine and decent people with common sense. Not racist like homegrown blacks.
She might rightfully place the blame on the Clinton’s for Haiti’s problems, and she might be absolutely right. Hope all is well with you. 🙂
If she leaves, she’ll be back.
Yup—no husband.
She gets to make all her own decisions.
Lol.
Why can’t she blame all the problems in Ghana and Nigeria on white racists? Aren’t all the problems everywhere in the world the fault of white racists?
Ghana or Nigeria, Haiti or Somalia or most of mainland Africa might be a good choice for her.
