5 Favorite Countries African Americans Moved To | The 5 

And stop telling blacks there’s any place less racist Than USA How pleasant could it ever be 👉🏽if everyone hate you🤷🏽‍♂️ Can barely deal with Americans🙄

Lol. Tell that to the Spanish speakers here. They can't understand a word anyone says and they don't care.

@@blupyxi5669 😬 that's ugly of you.

@@blupyxi5669 My sister started working in Los Angeles at the beginning of the pandemic (because of the pay) and she said its tough because the hispanics dont know a lick of english and dont want to learn. She said a Mexican guy said to her “This is Los Angeles , why you no speak spanish” 😂😂

@@coole324 ain't that some sh!t. Then they'll call the rest of us racist (though Hispanic isn't a race) for criticizing their not speaking English. AND GET THIS! The official language in Mexico is Spanish (a European language by the way). This double standard stuff is getting ridiculous.

I’ve been hearing that a lot. Three more years for me God willing.

@Dog faced Pony Soldier Yeah, it's HORRIBLE!!! There are many places that are better!! The US would not even be in my Top 25 places to live.

@Dog faced Pony Soldier Too many people think they can't survive without Walmart or Olive Garden. That's just crazy. lol

You are so blessed i cant wait until i get the opportunity

Exactly

Panama is just an incredible place.

There are more Black Americans in the Philippines than all 5 of those countries combined.

@@wellbodisalone Why are they flocking to America?

Ghana is mostly a gateway to Africa.

Panama and Costa Rica are both great, I lived in both and currently reside in Panama

Glad to hear it sister.

On what kind of visa may I ask?

@@lasthour7132 D7 Resident Visa

@@kameelaheverglow oh ok! My family and I were in Tanzania for 4 months! It’s tough to get a resident visa there unless your starting a business or something! We back in the state’s now! I chose Tanzania because of the respect I have for Magafuli! He’s the best president in Africa I believe and Tanzania is beautiful! If you ever visit you gotta go to Zanzibar up the northern part of the island where they have beautiful beaches!

@@lasthour7132 I definitely want to visit Tanzania. I've only heard good things about the country. O want to go later this year.

@@JazzyBlessed1 minutes after the Supreme Court announcement I asked my husband if he would be willing to leave the US if the Loving decision was overturned and the red state I live in decides to make interracial marriages. He said yes. I’m seeing more and more RU-vid videos of black folks leaving the US.

I never had a problem with the French people not speaking English to me. They seemed happy to do so. I think it's all about your presentation. I was completely French-illiterate.

@@roundtwo3321it depends on where you are and who you are around. What I mentioned came from my French husband, my in-laws and natives that I know. All of them said that it mainly happens in Paris, more so than in other regions. However, at the same time, more and more people are learning English through watching American media, especially younger people. I'm learning French and more and more you see English words included in French, to the chagrin of the l'Academie Française.

Then go on vacation to those countries you're thinking of moving to. Nothing like actually being on the ground, exploring and seeing if you could live there.

@@Luboman411 Good point, but visiting is a lot different from residency. When you're a tourist of course it's going to be nice because you're coming over to spend money in another local economy and then you're going back home. When you live there what counts is what's your contribution to that particular neighborhood that you live in and what type of resident you are. Also, what do you pump into the local economy in terms of money or talent. Residency is much different from visiting.

What do you mean ?

@@mr.goodwinmbamacc4494 it definitely is but vacationing there is a first step to seeing if you'd even want to live there. If you don't feel like you vibe with the country on a visit you definitely won't want to live there. Plus if you're going with the mindset of it's not just a vacation but would this be a potential home you'll look specifically for things while your there that could help you make a decision. Unfortunately the only way to truly know if you like living somewhere is just to live there for a while. It's probably best if people set realistic expectations and if they have a fall back - what if I don't like it here? Whats my plan? Kind of thing.

@@xxgoodnevil17xx I just wanna live somewhere that’s not black n white

Yeah well, seems the Central Americans are trying to illegally flood over our border. In droves. Annoying.

@@fivepoints It would be foolish to think anything on this planet is "ours". We are stewards, and preventing people from participating in the wealth of this nation that was initially created illegally is silly. Also, I'm curious as to your sources and I'd like to know what represents a "drove" in real life.

@@fivepoints not all central American...in Costa Rica we good here...we may travel but we love our country

@@fivepoints It was even more annoying when your folks did it, too. At least they're not massacring people in their homes, like your folks did.

What about Rwanda, or Kenya?

Same here. I’m working it now.

Portugal is a pleasent country. You probably will not regret going there.

@@jahbless4ever Too far

How is it down there? I heard it was racism there against the Haitians and darker people on the island.

@@lasthour7132 honestly everywhere has racism. A lot of the places on this list are racist and I hate to admit it but being “rich” a “first world” national you most likely won’t run into that issue.

@@Oll_704 thanks for your response. I never thought I would run into that issue just didn’t want to be around it if I could help it. In Africa I have not experienced racism there.

@Freedom Quest I feel the same way . It is places in the world that people aren’t worried about your ethnicity. The sad thing about the DR is I believe I read that the racism was created by encouragement from outsiders a high mindset that your better than those other people on the other side of the island. Someone is keeping them poor that’s why! The last shall be first and the first shall be last! Amen!

Dr - unless you are a browning but a dark skin you’ll hate it. Try Dominica instead lol

Great country i hope you live in granada province

PermanentMarcus, I want to as well. Any tips?

Wow, real angels ?! That's cool !

Really? I experienced the opposite there and in Spain. No trouble with police, but was pulled aside for extra pat down and personal search security checks every time I went through the airports in Lisbon or Porto. A woman in the airport tried starting a fight with me for no reason, first shouting to everyone around in Portuguese about dirty foreigners while staring angrily at me, trying to rile people up before getting in my face and shouting at me. The passive aggression in both countries was unreal

@@NathanielNorman-uh7dl Sorry to hear that. No one should be treated that way. That wasn't my/our experience. As a matter fact when people found out we were American tourist they were helpful. Lol had a older white women tell me how she love the blues singer Muddy Waters. We had a pleasant vacay in Europe. Better luck next time.

I was on vacation there and loved it. It is on my top 3 list of places to move.

Panteao Nacional in Lisbon is a real spetial place. It is buried in there some of the most important people that had wonderful souls from that country. No wonder there are angels around. That particular pantheon is the only one in Europe with a black man buried, Eusebio da Silva Ferreira. No other European country have made such a honored tribute to a black person.

I disagree I think y should stay in the country y were born in

That true the Service Industry always going to be around its essential and always hiring depend on what particular job are offer rather its Retail Sales Grocery too Home Accessories ,Medical Field too Transportation which I know couple of people had relocated to them Markets and get In where they fit in our doing well without the extra depend on the individual or what there issue.. Now probably trying too open a Buisness or a Professional Field might be difficult which better to be in a smaller market or a place where its needed like A Cleveland St Louis De Moines or Seattle for instance same thing can be for oversees but one problem majority don't won't too be in those places... .

Unlike america who's boarders and jobs are open to illegals, in the rest of the world it is illegal to work.

And unlike the US, most of the people in these countries received enough education to know how to spell.

well if you're a nurse, nurses can go to a lot of countries because many countries are declining in population and they need nurses and healthcare workers asap ... my professor tried to get nurses in my class to go to Germany. The USA is also short on health workers as well, especially doctors. Most of my doctors been foreign doctors from China, Nigeria, India, and Nurses with a doctorate filling in for the Doctor shortage. Tech workers are essential for top tier international cities. For Low-skill jobs .. well Japan has been recruiting and change their immigration policies to bring folks in but this was in 2019 from the last I read about it. West/East African countries are definitely are must consider but they need to work on infrastructure a bit more and I could see huge expat growth there (just some ideas for people here)

@@PAPITO_49 You don't know what you are talking about. In many countries companies help you to get a work visa with the right skills. The biggest issue is the language, in a work environment you have to speak the language, and salary expectations which are seldom to US levels. Of course, if you work for a multinational and are hired as a high-level executive, then, you most likely will enjoy a better lifestyle than in the US.

Congratulation i hope you are in cartagena

I'm thinking or retiring in Costa Rica and I am wondering why you love Kenya more? Thanks.

@@MIZVICKEY I run an international NGO in Costa Rica and Kenya. I fell in love with young women leaders in Kenya and a very close community of women from the Massai tribe that I work with. I am almost 70 and I want to live and work with other women for women’s rights and health. The women I know in Kenya are amazing. I am attracted to a more tribal lifestyle with close loving relationships among the women. It is simply a more woman focused culture and a place where I can make a bigger difference.

@@robbiePlanetaSano oh ok thank you so its more the people not the actual location that tipped the scale for you.. thanks for replying and continued happiness and success!

@@MIZVICKEY I will still have a place in Costa Rica, always, I love it. I live near the beach in Manuel Antonio , one of the most beautiful places on earth.

@@robbiePlanetaSano I would love to live near the beach, only thing is Costa Rica doesn’t have as strong internet as Nairobi which has all the comforts of home. Price wise they seem comparable but I can’t afford to move TWICE. Lol

Thank You For Your Input

What part of Mexico ? Do you have dual citizenship?

@@og-greenmachine8623 In England Benedict Arnold was a patriot because he was an English citizen fighting for England. The Americans were considered traitors because they were English citizens fighting against England.

Waiting for you in South Africa 🇿🇦

But many Latin Americans, Asians, and others, seem to be doing just fine living in the US for decades, staying in their respective communities, and never learning English...😕

@@yasminbarry7941 What do you mean _"...seem_ to be...?" What are you looking at?

I don't know because Muslims come to the US and claim they don't speak English the bulk of them. I live in Jersey City, and they are all over here speaking their language and always claiming they don't understand 🤷

@@reneecrane5344 Oh, they probably don't. I would have to say, more than likely, this is probably because the organizations in the US that teach English _cost_ something; something which, if you're a newcomer to the country, you probably don't have to spare. You probably have to choose between _taking courses_ or the sort of thing the average person would find a bit more indispensable, like keeping the roof over your head. It's different if you're _born_ here, though. If you grow _up_ in the US, you can probably expect to learn English along the way, so the Muslims you refer to (not that this is just a religion thing, because it happens just as readily with African, Middle-Eastern, Hispanic and Asian immigrants just as readily) usually expect to have kids and focus on just making sure they learn _English,_ but _also_ retain whatever language the _parents_ speak, so they can translate between the languages as they grow up, and so help the parents to connect _indirectly._ It's different, though, in countries where the classes that teach that country's language _don't_ cost anything and all you have to worry about is _studying_ that language and keeping yourself _immersed_ in it so it's the first language you hear when you wake up in the morning and the last thing you hear before you go to bed. In an environment like that, where you don't have to worry about the essentials of health and hygiene, but the language is otherwise your main means of connecting with your environment, you soak it up. Of course this is, all too often, _not_ the situation in the US, hence the old joke: Q: What do you call someone who speaks _three_ languages? A: trilingual. Q: What do you call someone who speaks _two_ languages? A: bilingual. Q: What do you call someone who only speaks _one_ language? A: American.

@@yasminbarry7941 English is not the official language of the US :>)

Right. There's no law that says you need die in the same place you were born. Jesus was born in Bethlehem but He didn't die there. Racism is all over the place but it doesn't mean you can't find a place where your mental health isn't always under attack.

@Y Azzk...I get what you're saying but I don't think I could move from America and especially my family to another country not even for love.

@@AEvans36977 ...true but Jesus never traveled more than 200 miles from His birthplace.

@Freedom Quest....racism may not be in many of the African countries but they have so many other problems and prejudices.

@Freedom Quest Yes but it is has its local forms, mainly tribalism and religion divide, and affect the nationals only. So as a foreigner you are not targetted

Thanks for the likes. If you plan to travel here, feel free to drop me a note for help with your trip. Currently there are Covid-19 travel restrictions.

Montreal is dope.

@EIon Musk Funny. 🙃

So why am I here? 90+% of expats have Thai wives. If you're concerned about diet, vegetables here are great and easy access to good unprocessed foods. Thailand has good medical care. As a black american it's nice not too worry about all the usual traps, police, crime, etc. It's also nice to see another part of the world with friendly people and just be yourself. (Post covid) All that said, I'm impressed by many places in Africa and ready to get out there in 2022. Thanks Elon, thanks everyone for the comments. Feel free to buy me a beer 🍻😂

If you can Check over East Africa for long term migration...

What part of Mexico if you dont mind my asking? I live in South Eastern, NC and a Mapquest search let me know that a Drive from Home to Monterrey Mexico is Approximately 24 hours, which is something I can do with no problem... My problem is the fact that I have no real money... A little less than 10K put away in my TSP, and can never seem to add up more than a thousand a month with my bank on regular income... I'm the youngest of my siblings and also the black sheep... All my other siblings are all married with children & have great careers. I have none of these, just 50 Cent without a dream. I just know I need to get out of here and never look back... Any tips or ideas you know that could help me escape???

I’ve heavily considered Mexico

Great choice!

Agreed

It is not easy to become citizens from outside EU, mainly because EU is barring migration from Africa here is a list of how to attain citizenship, and remember you can not just move to Portugal, you have to show you can support yourself. www.expatica.com/pt/moving/visas/portuguese-citizenship-1030872/

@@ueks69 same as most other countries, you can only move to South Africa for example if you have a skill that’s approved under the government skills programme by government and if you have a job offer from an SA company or you can move if you have serious money to invest in a business that will pay tax in SA and that’s how some ppl obtain residency papers and eventually citizenship or you marry a SAn. If you’re not well educated (masters eleven and up) and well skilled or monied, highly unlikely you won’t move to SA legally. Americans only get 3 months free visa stay in SA. Hence why SA has such a big illegal immigration issue not just from rest of Africa & Asia (Indians, Pakistanis,Sri Lankans& , Vietnamese, Thai& Chinese amongst big offenders) but from westerners too…many from US, Brits get nabbed overstaying their visas here

Did you know that Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world after English? Yes, I know Chinese Mandarin is as far as population goes, but if you're bilingual in Spanish and English you can be understood in most counties of the world. Pero claro, se nota que eres demasiado ignorante para saber eso.

Wherever you go you will need to speak an alternative to English and absorb a totally different culture. Are you ready for that? Perhaps you should look at a sabbatical or extended vacation, or you could misjudge your opportunity. Whatever you do, enjoy and do your homework,don’t be underprepared.

I’m moving to Ghana soon
