as a black expat, you gonna get a lot of love shown, but you're still an expat and a possible lick. people here need to understand: $$$ blurs any reality of ' black unity' and a lot of folks are living in the trenches. this is why african despots exist. you seeing a breh as a 'brother' and he's seeing you as food cuz you have the privilege of travelling out of your own country.

This is exactly what I intended to touch on before to coli went down about an hour ago.

I've noticed - and not just ITT - quite a few dudes who've done a lil traveling abroad, fukked a couple locals and ate good food really feel like they have a firm grasp on what life would be like should they - or anyone else for that matter - decide to move there. Never accounting for the fact that they were just visiting; a tourist who was treated like a guest with money to burn that would be leaving soon enough.

I see this proposed a lot but I don't see many people break down the process.

@Y2Dre What about your extended family? Your parents? Your siblings? Your cousins? You'd be willing to be far away from them?

As for myself, I'm kind of a cynic. I don't believe there's any escape. As the US goes, so goes the rest of the world. Also, like Yvette Carnell said, "people are willing to go to another country and fight racism but won't fight it here?!?"

And I say this as a breh who has lived all over america, lived in Spain, and spent considerable time in Germany, France, and the UK.

If I could live anywhere, I'd probably move to Amsterdam. But there are no black people there so it would suck from that perspective. Quality of life is A+ tho.

you acting like US black population and German black population are anywhere near the same. 13% is alot when you factor in there are other races here by the numbers. Germany at most probably at 2% and white population somewhere like 95%+
and when you go you wouldn't be a citizen, you would be a refugee. Germans be :mjpls: to refugees
Breh, there's a difference between someone forced to leave their home to go to another country where they don't speak the language and their qualifications aren't recognized or they were unskilled labor in their old country and someone who went through the visa process has qualifications or skills recognized by the country and has some if not extensive language proficiency. :aicmon:

The only places where there's literally no pollution and or violence, are the places you'd never want to live in;

Sweden
Iceland
Scotland
Nova Scotia
etc....Not worth it.
False. There are plenty of countries besides those that have renewable energy plans.

OP does seem to not understand how difficult emigrating from America can be. This simplified view of
Find a place, stack your bread, and leave is very unrealistic.

You have to find out if the country is even accepting immigrants, if they are what type of immigrants are they accepting? Skilled unskilled, retirees? If they are what are the visa requirements, language requirements, what the job market is like for foreigners and if the culture fits.

You can't just move without having a concrete plan with fallbacks in place.

The reason why I chose Germany is because they have a booming IT market with not enough employees. There are plenty of jobs willing to sponsor a work visa. There is also a job search visa for people with university degrees which is my fallback if I can't get an initial job visa or jobs want face to face interviews before they hire. I study German with a tutor every two weeks. I want to have enough to comfortably live(not survive off of ramen) for a year and I've lived in Germany with the Army for 4 years and I like the people and way of life there.

Plan on being in Latin America by my mid to late 40’s.

:blessed:

I changed my mind about that one. I don't want to be with around of "Me no black papi" type of heads that would burn my books of Malcolm X and Marcus Gravey. I rather go to Jamaica, Trinidad, Ghana or Nigeria.

My ancestors were sold to the white man by Africans and I'm going to go back to the descendants of those people...get the fukk outta here. I'll go to places like Jamaica or Dominica. I can't even forgive the descendants who sold us into Bondage.

What exactly is stupid about escaping systematic white supremacy in its highest form and giving yourself a chance to experience more freedom than you have here?

This thread won’t be active more than a few days hence the time limit, but you censor “ass” on the coli so clearly you don’t know how this forum works to begin with.:francis:

The year 2030 is the limit you set to leave, or else we're taking Ls..

Yes or no?

I feel you, but that “me no Black, Papi” shyt is a kind of a myth. I’ve traveled, met all kinds of Latinos, and my wife is from Mexico. I’ve met “Afro” Latinos from Venezuela, Uruguay, Cuba, and Mexico etc. that are darker than me and are not ashamed of it, neither.

Brazil actually has more Black people than America does. It’s the Blackest country outside of Africa.
