In a trend some refer to as “Blaxit,” Black Americans are taking advantage of Africa’s significantly reduced cost of living and perceived lack of racism and racial discrimination.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the racial reckoning following George Floyd’s murder pushed many Black Americans to go abroad in search of acceptance.
In a trend some refer to as “Blaxit,” Black Americans are taking advantage of Africa’s significantly reduced cost of living and what they described as the lack of racism and discrimination they faced in the United States, The New York Times reported.
Ashley Cleveland, 39, moved from Atlanta to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in 2020. Currently based in South Africa, she has a firm that assists foreigners in investing in and expanding their businesses.
Cleveland expressed appreciation that race is “an abstract concept” in much of Africa.
“Seeing Black African people on the money, on the billboards,” she said, “you immediately eliminate your Blackness.” Cleveland welcomed the change for her children, ages 9 and 2 when they left the U.S., noting that her elder daughter was “no longer bullied” for her deep brown skin tone.

Yes racism exists, but I believe most racism against black is either self inflicted (e.g. scott adams) or professional victims where everything is just racist.
That said I know in the 90's blacks would make sure they left Arab Alabama before sundown for their safety, not sure if that's still the case.
What about all those Anti-White TV ads where blacks pretend to be white
“Arab Alabama”?
She apparently hasn’t been hit with tribal or ethnic hatred/racism yet like they have in ‘frica.
One wonders if this story is even real.
Live long and prosper.
Name one azhos. Name just one family. They aren’t going anywhere. You’re a bunch of lyin’ bass turds just like YOUR “first President” is. If what you say is true, what the hell is Latrine Jean-Pierre doing here working for the WHITE House? Put a sock in it maggots.
One person does not a movement make.
Yeah they’re going to get a taste of what real racism is when as americans they move to continental africa.
I wonder if these people,having left,would renounce their US citizenship upon arrival in Nigeria...Zimbabwe...etc.
“Blaxit”! ROTFL! That’s the best YOU asszits can come up with? Pack your crap and get the hell out of my country, maggots.
Well said.
Grass is always greener....
This story’s premise is outrageous in it’s false narrative that just because Africa is “Black/Brown/Tan” there is no racism or tribalism.
Sure Rwanda and Nigeria, and Somalia, and Sudan, and Eritrea, and Ethiopia, and Mali, and South Africa...and...and...and..... 🥱
Just wait until they run into Africa's TRIBALISM...........
Oh ... I thought you meant Arabs in Alabama.
Sounds more like free advertising for her company
Institutionalized Racism is done to White Males. These people are stupid, as they are given AA on so many levels. If they think discrimination against White Men is actually discrimination against them with free education, unqualified jobs, get out of jail free cards, then don’t let the door hit them where the Good Lord split them.
It’s the NY Times. They make stuff up like this every day. They are nothing but a propaganda arm of the Globalists.
They are goading us into doing or saying something stupid, like eff bee eye agents at a Trump rally.
Don’t fall for it.
In Africa racialism is often replaced with tribalism. See Hutus and Tutsis. Newly arrived American Blacks don’t belong to any tribe.
