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.

Idiot.
Is racism her experience or what she believes is her experience?
It’s the parents not the country.
She is free to move to whatever country she thinks will be better. There is no wall keeping her in. In fact, there is no wall keeping people out.
Sounds like you going to **** them out of college football scholarships and MFL contracts.
Yes, she should go to the African country of her choice, where alleged white racism won’t be a problem.
Of course, she may find other problems with living in Black countries such as Ghana or Nigeria, but at least she won’t be able to blame white racism anymore.
” In fact, there is no wall keeping people out.”
Sadly too true.
Parents? Plural? C’mon, man!
I don't need to warn you away from Haiti do I? Hope you find your Nirvana, though I know it doesn't exist. America used to be that place along with a few other western civilization oriented nations which have all gone south now.
Marcus Garvey would approve.
Japan should be just perfect for her, based on her list of concerns.
Ass meet door.
Okay, just be sure to cancel your US citizenship on the way out! Enjoy the country of your choice, don’t bother to come back to visit.
So just WHERE doe she plan on going, to raise her black kid/s "safely"? I bet she has less than NO idea what other countries and their populace are like.
My money says she is not going anywhere. Worst case, she goes to Canada, but that is COLD.
She could “defect” to North Korea.
