Where in the world is the best place to be born Black today?

This thread is lowkey
And being born into a developed Black country like Barbados or the Bahamas where your growth isn't limited by non-Blacks obstructing you is best.
In general, yeah that's a good thing. But your economic options in the here and now are limited. That's the unfortunate reality. There's also the issue of land and resources. I love the islands, but I also love big (first world) city life. You don't get that in some of these other countries.
If we are talking about the fullness of the quality of life, yeah its going to be hard to top the "western world" so to speak. As much as I hate saying that.

Why is life expectancy so low in Black neighborhoods?
As we slowly recover from the intersecting health and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to advocate for the kind of public investment that will create greater equity and allow for everyone to live healthily—regardless of their race or place.

75 years old isn't terrible. How does that compare to Black neighborhoods in other countries?Why is life expectancy so low in Black neighborhoods?

It’s terrible when you realize it’s 74 for blacks, 86 for Asians and 81 for Latinos. All of whom are also minorities. Infant mortality fir blacks in the US is comparable to Mexico.
How is that acceptable?

In comparison data to other nations, Bloomberg showed that the Black infant mortality rate more than doubled the U.S.’s average.

I mean...the leading cause of death for Black men under 44 years old is homicide. That might be skewing the numbers

Sometimes I wonder if Canada ranks above the us. The main thing going against it is the lack of black people

USA is not anywhere near the bottom of countries to be born Black. They're probably close to the top despite your concerns

When the black infant mortality rate is equivalent to Mexico yeah it’s about as equivalent to living in Mexico. Hardly the top
Actually when I went to Mexico I faced less daily racism there than in the US
Get your head out ya ass
