Demetria Brown knew the exact moment she decided she'd had it.
She'd just watched a video of George Floyd pinned under an officer's knee, saying he couldn't breathe as he begged for his life. She sobbed as she played it over and over.
On June 1, a week after Floyd's death, she quit her job as a detention officer for the Los Angeles County Probation Department. In the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic, she sold her house, stuffed her belongings into 13 duffel bags and relocated to Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast.
Brown, 42, is one of many African Americans leaving the United States permanently for many reasons, including racism and fear of police brutality. Her flight landed in her new hometown on June 25, a month to the day Floyd died.

That’s hilarious. I was in line at a checkpoint in the Mexican Baja and a soldier on a halftrack had his rail mounted twin fifties pointed at my windshield with his hands on the triggers. I was going to take his picture and the driver leapt over and covered me while knocking the camera away. He said, “If he sees you take his picture he will kill us.”
Oh, yeah, America is SO bad.
Ok, here we go, here’s the “Well.....bye” guy we all like to see.
Good riddance to her.
Enjoy the Mexican police, Felicia!
Free country...hasta la vista!
Racism is worse in México. I used to live there - they don’t like blacks.
That’s right.
It’s like crawling out of a gun battle to end up in a furnace.
I notice her foot is still in the door. If you want to leave, leave. Renounce your citizenship. Until then it’s just a big show.
So unless she has a dual citizenship with Mexico she will soon be an illegal alien there.
Mexico treats illegals much harsher than anything she has been exposed to in America.
Here I'm worried about the spill over to the US from the cartel driven civil war in Mexico. Where bodies are left to rot on the streets.
PING
Oh, what a grand idea!
Bingo. She has NO idea....
It's been for long a silent scandal in Latin America how Mexicans treat their black population; second class citizens laugh at them. By American standards, racism there is rampant.
I'll wager that in a handful of months Ms. Brown will quietly relocate back north. She may not want to kiss the ground upon return, just rub her cheek gently on it.
Ping.

It sounds like he said he couldn’t breathe before he went down
Puerto Vallarta Is a pretty community, significant expat presence
LOL!
I guess she’s okay with daily beheadings/heads hanging off of bridges, all while Los Federales turn a blind eye.
Let’s hear from Demetria in about a year....if she lasts living there, that long.
Out of the frying pan, into the muy caliente.
Gosh, she really seems to be suffering, no?
