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 you’re 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 issues—from universal health care and clemency for nonviolent drug offenders to the overall improvement of black male lives—pre-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 maintain—or even enhance—the kind of lifestyle you’re accustomed to, from robust career opportunities to world-class health care?
Turns out that the options—give or take a potential visa drama or two—have 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 doesn’t work out.
Please note, however: No country is an across-the-board utopia...

If they move to Kenya there’s the bonus that they might get elected President of the U.S. some day.
That actually sounds like a good idea for a sign they can post at their border, and airport.
“Welcome to Kenya. Where any little bastard can grow up to be President of the United States.”
... Although that might require them to slip back over, pretend to be a “Constitutional law professor”, suck on a crack pipe for a few years, and spend a couple of years as a rabble rouser and U.S. Senator.
Interesting list. Aside from Costa Rica, it consists of places where the number of black people is invisibly small and a black American expat, presumptively comfortably middle or upper middle class, will be regarded as a slightly unusual tourist. The secret ingredient in all these places is the absence of the black underclass which so heavily conditions perceptions of race in the U.S.
“Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, Saudia Arabia and Uganda come to mind.”
IMHO, Lower Elbonia would seem a better place for such migration.
Be a civil human being who works, takes care of their kids and takes pride in their neighborhood and love for their country.....
.....or I can help you pack
Color does not enter into it with me.....but actions and morals do. (If you act like an N word....you probably are an N word.....no mater what color you are)
“They” act like this is big deal and we should be shocked, like America couldn’t get along without the agitator class.
Never saw a black person in Thailand or Hong Kong. I’m sure there are some, I just never saw one.
Dubai? Have at it.
In order to immigrate into New Zealand, you need to speak English, have some money and skills. For a couple to move from the U.S. to New Zealand, they need about half a million dollars in savings and equivalent of a college education. They do not say, “give us your poor, your huddled ...” etc. They do not want to import Mexico’s poor (shucks). Blacks who can qualify to emigrate to New Zealand, are doing fine in the U.S.
I don’t know about the rest of countries. Dubai might take experienced black U.S. petroleum engineers, Taiwan black managers sponsored by a U.S. employer with facilities in Taiwan, Costa Rica will cash your Social Security checks and charge Medicare for your “free’ health care. I don’t think you live as a parasite in Thailand, if you can even get in, so her audience won’t be interested in Thailand. I had a friend who served with the U.S.A.F. in Thailand. He said the Thais used the same word for “negro” and “stupid”, they held black American service members, as a group, in utter contempt.
Russia, China, Haiti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia.

Statistics and facts said otherwise. Another thing to take heart is that all those other Dem politicians' past effort don't count as much as that one person's skin color.
Did Barry address the African slavery issue while visiting? Don’t black live matter Barry?
Don’t know about Arabs, but since I’m of Oriental blood, I’ll explain a little.
We REALLY don’t look down upon blacks, or any other white or colored people. If you bring the work ethics, and follow the rule of laws, I am sure those countries will open their arms to welcome you.
However, if your intention is to suck up oxygen and other people’s money for your victimhood mentality, bugger off.
As bad as it is perceived to be here - and yeah, there are things I’d love to change here - the US is still far and away the best place to be. If these jerks want to threaten to leave if so n so becomes president, or think these other places are better for this demographic or another... You’re welcome to go, I’ll hold the door for ya, bye.
Afghanistan, Iraq..
I would recommend Zimbabwe. The ethnic cleansing of whites there is almost complete.
Note that not a one of the five is in Africa.
