I currently live in Qatar 🇶🇦, and I will say the world is bigger than the US. I encourage brothers and sisters to explore and go where you are treated best.
@@tomi2205 They are workers. No such thing as slavery anymore. It's illegal. I'm black and live in the UAE and the Asians here make 1000 aed a month as labourers which is more than they will make in India. But the richest expats here are also Asians sooooo it goes according to skills and education how they get paid.
Hello. I have lived in Madrid, Spain for the past 18 years and have never had any problem with racism. I teach at a university in Madrid and have had no problems there either. However, we must remember that everyone has different experiences in life. There is no sense in arguing with anyone trying to prove someone wrong. To those who have bad experiences in Spain, move on and do not return. Ask yourself what have you learned from the experience. There are many other countries to visit. Find those that bring you joy and forget the ones that brought you grief and heartache. Life is too short to focus on the negative.
a few blacks have lived in America over 40 yrs, and said they have never faced racism, I tell them that most likely it was there and they were too stupid to recognize it
What African country are you from ?Do you think you will ever go back home to teach young people ln your country or maybe an on line course that is recognized by your home country. Please they need you .
A growing amount of people, of all races, are moving out of the US for a better life. Especially in recent years due healthcare, cost of living, violence, racism and the government just not giving a care in general about anyone other than the 1%. I truly believe America is in rapid decline at this point and it's better to get out now rather than later if possible.
I wanna leave this place so badly and my mom agrees, the only thing slowing the process is money sadly. We're black so I'm doing a lot of research on places where we are the most accepted, obviously there's racism pretty much every where but I'd rather deal with weird stares than constant anxiety about getting hate crimed or killed🚶🏾♀️
@Nemusis 999 Yes please stay, why fight against the mark?...I mean jab I hope you got yours. Why troll blacks, just sit back nukes are coming to a neighborhood near you....as soon as we leave in mass.
Belize, stood out for me. So glad I found this video, I’ve been thinking about moving for years. My daughter graduates from high school this year and I want out of the USA
Portugal threw me off. I lived there years ago and experienced some of the worst racism of my life. I wonder if these African Americans who live there speak the language or if they live in a bubble. Many Black Portuguese and Brazilians of all races have complained about their treatment. Spain honestly wasn't much better. I don't hate the US enough to go somewhere, where I'm not going to be treated with respect. Good luck!
I loved Portugal as an African American, and found the people genuine. Any hostility I experience, unfortunately, was among some of the black immigrants there, but some others were very nice.
They don't like black people. A family friend went there on vacation said while in restaurants the white waiters and waitresses acted as if they should not be serving black people.
This isn’t the same experience for everyone. Some have had great success there and tragic ones in the US. Hopefully fear doesn’t hold anyone hostage in the US
@@xfactor2572 You're right, but I've yet to see real examples of great success- Portuguese jobs, that pay well, Portuguese friends, fluency in the language. If you don't speak the language, you're missing out on the real culture. I lived there some years back, but I didn't see any black people in good positions or "thriving " as African Americans put it. I think it's part illusional. Just because there are lots of black people there, doesn't mean that they are thriving. It might take a while for them to realize it. Yes, it beautiful its a beautiful country, but also has racial issues. Just talk to the black Portuguese, they 'll tell you the truth.
I agree whit you. I have lived in Portugal for 5 years. I feel tired and frustrated and intend to live in the United States, as i believe i will see more representative representation and community spirit, even if i am not inclued because i am Afro Brazilian, but i belive it will be more welcoming than Portugal.
As I get older and my children go off to college, I'm just so so ready to finally go. I MUST experience something so new before I leave here. I must know how it feels to be released of American culture. This video has inspired me greatly.
Me too, I joined a travel club with international members and travel. Sometimes I go alone because when you arrive you meet other members before you go on at least two excursions. I hope that you get a "running buddy" or two to go and enjoy and see other cultures.
Not that I am seeking solidarity from anyone because, as a Black American (USA) woman (yes I said it and yes it matters), I am accustomed to not receiving basic empathy, however, I am entitled to my feelings based on my experiences like every other human being. The resentment toward Black USA Americans across the globe is real and it is nasty, including from other African descended people. The USA experience of racism is unique and the most traumatizing of any other in history. While you do not have to agree with our opinions, don't tell us that our experiences are not real or are inflated simply because they are not your experiences. The ignorance and self-hate in this comment section and in the world (including within our own community) is real. I was raised with intelligence and dignity and I hold my head up high - this means that I do not need to tear down others to lift my own esteem because I know my worth. However, I will not put up with foolishness whether in my own country or abroad because as a daughter of the only true God, freedom was handed to me not by man but by His Spirit. I am free to move as I please and move I do. Do not tell us to "stay home" or to "go back" without expecting a passionate response and thinking that we must do it because you are intimidated by our strength and honesty. Also, stop tearing us down only to expect us to stand up for you when you too are treated as we are because we don't owe anyone anything but to mind our business. My value to the world is no less than yours and I will always speak my truth unabashadly whether you attempt to quiet me or not; I implore everyone to do the same within their right and without intentionally hurting others. What comes around always goes around.
But ma'm if you go to other Countries and you bring this mentality that the whole world is racist and that especially towards african-americans then you might see racism even if its not really against African Americans or not racism at all. Some Africans that moved to the US don't like that some African Americans almost get angry with them for not having the same mentality but they don't have the same history. Jewish people were victims of racism, genocide and pogroms during 2000 years but most of them don't think that the world hates them. Im just saying don't assume that the world hates you and if someone is rude that it has to be because you are African American.
As an African-American I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly ten years. Here are some countries in South America that you might take a look at also, Brazil 🇧🇷 Uruguay 🇺🇾 Chile 🇨🇱 Ecuador 🇪🇨 and Peru 🇵🇪. Also no one ever seems to mention the South of France its not as expensive as you might think 😉.
I would use Nice, France 🇫🇷. Nice would be my base from there you could visit the whole French Rivera, the Spanish and Italian Coasts and even take the bullet train to Paris in about 5 and a half hours 😀. Oh I forgot Monaco 🇲🇨 😀. Also you could take a ferry ⛴ boat 🚢 to North Africa from Marseilles France which is a fabulous 👌 city in its own right you can walk on Roman built streets in Marseilles.
Mark, I lived in Europe (Spain and Portugal) in my youth. I would take the Eurorail to France. After making friends, I quickly learned that Marseilles and Bordeaux are 2 South France Cities to avoid. Cheap but NOT worth all the crime there. A few "no-go" areas within the Arrondissements.
I didn't mention Colombia because I have never been to Colombia those countries that I have mentioned either I visited or I encounter people from those countries. I had some kind of knowledge about those countries.
If it wasn’t for economic instability and the corrupt government causing other issues ,Haiti would’ve been on that list (I hope it is one day) ,It was the first Black Country to pass a law that automatically granted any black person that reaches the island freedom and refuge during slavery .A few AAs that were able to reach us were automatically free .I know random lol
Knowing all that you guys have been through, I believe Haitians have an extraordinary ability to overcome and excel amidst adversity. Despite all the bullshit that's going on now something big is definitely on the horizon for Haiti, I wish you all the best nonetheless! 👍🏽🥰
You just named off almost all Afrifan countries... it makes youbwodner ifnits genetic because African countries are the worst next to places like Mexico
I have two Haitian brothers as one of my best of Friends. Even though theyre now living in Finland, i can feel the richness of their culture by just stepping into their home and seein the family be together. Their mom is always ready to embrace me and feed me 🤭 i truly consider myself as the Lucky one to have been able to see at least that portion of their culture and mindset they carried with them when moving here. I definetly want to visit Haiti at some point when im financially more stable. There are a lot of great places in this world.🙏
Many people are leaving the USA in droves. I am glad you did this review, giving people a choice. Blacks and whites have been moving out of the USA, because of cost of living and the health care benefits are better in other countries.
Yeah, they're leaving for so many reasons. The rich are leaving for tax and corporate tax purposes. The rest of the Americans are leaving because there's no middle-class, inflation, no work-life balance, the cost of living is too high, the job environment is poor, no good quality of education, no universal health care, housing is expensive, etc. And the list goes on, too many to mention.

I think one thing many Black Americans fail to grasp is that outside of the US you will be seen as an American first and foremost. I'm black British and I and British first as that's my culture. When I travel to Caribbean or S A. I know this and whilst skin colour may be same culturally we are not. To think you'll arrive in a black nation where you don't know the culture, customs, language and assume you'll just fit in is a bit naive.
@Nemusis 999 That speaks volumes of one's experience, global outlook for lack there of and travel. I take it you've been to the UK and abroad. Please stay in the US. It fits you.
Ok, are you considered British by the indigenous Britons and their system. Black British wow. Don't you have ancestry? Last I check no black have root in Britain.
@@afrikanheritage99 So what, if you are black and raised in Britain, born there, know their history, food, culture, and more then you are British. Just because you have roots in other places doesn't change where you are born and raised. Like yeah I have African Roots but I was still raised and born in America. Plus like they said just because you go to somewhere that shares a skin color with you doesn't mean you'll be welcomed. That doesn't even happen in America between neighborhoods.
I'm a digital nomad and focus more on living in African countries. Ghana was definitely one of my favorites. I didn't get to make it to Senegal but it's on my list!
@@SongofaBeach2012 that's cool. My mother's ancestry is Sierra Leone. I lived there for 3 months before I got the results and felt most at home. I live in Nigeria now with my husband
Let me add this. If you are going to live in another country, make sure you learn the language of that country. Why? You are respected even more. And it increases you everyday living options. Whether that be shopping or touring. As an African American, I speak fluent Spanish. So when I travel, I am able to tour and shop with confidence in Spanish speaking countries. Also study and learn the countries monetary currency. And lastly, learn the ins and outs, do's and don't and the ropes to jump and those to skip. Living abroad is not the panacea its made out to be unless YOU are ready and have done extensive research. I say this as a military veteran who has traveled extensively and a person who has lived in over 12 foreign countries. I now live in the USA.
I'm also surprised that Spain was on this list. They are extremely hostile towards Africans/people of African decent. Afro Latino friends of mine had horrible experiences while there. Just look at all of the racist incidents connected with their soccer teams over the years!!!
I thought a lot of countries treated us the same. Good to know there’s options. At this point I feel like if in us to run. I’m not sure why people keep trying to come here. It’s not the land of opportunity for all.
Then you should remain in your oh-so friendly and fair America. I get in and out of Spain from our base in Morocco often. Don't see what your "friends" see. If you decide to ever LIVE someplace else, please hang-up your American culture at the door before you go.
I've never been to Spain, but I've heard the same. My daughter's afro Latina teacher went there on vacation & she told her students that she had horrible racist treatment & experience . On the other hand my Black nephew who's from Britain loves Spain & he visits often & has lots of friends there. IMy african American niece spent a semester there studying Spanish & she had a good experience. I''m wondering WHY some black ppl have bad experiences in Spain & some don't? I was afraid to visit bc of what I heard, but NOW I want to visit. I'm curious to see how I'd be treated there. I'm a naturalized US citizen, originally from Jamaica. MANY foreign ppl here in US mistake me for an African American 😊 the ppl in Spain wil think I'm African American tool😊
I go to Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Majorca de Palma) quite often and have never had any issues there. I've met other black Americans there who also had no issues. However, some seem to be colorists. Apparently darker skinned black people may be treated poorly. I'm also fluent in castellano so that may have something to do with the way I am received. I would move there or to Switzerland in a heartbeat if my husband would agree.
@@shotelco America has a richer relationship with racism so they tend to be very offended by things that are unintentionally racist. Sometimes ppl are genuinely ignorant about African people and ask or say things that may offend.
I have lived in three countries outside the US and traveled to 30 others. Currently, I have lived in Costa Rica for 2 years and it is the most expensive country in Central America and more the Mexico and almost all of Latin America. Costs for housing, cars, electronics, good wine and beef is high. Remember, Don’t move to any country without living in that country for at least 12 months. Visiting and living there is very different. Check out the country before deciding to move there.
If you are moving some where only share that information with those you trust. Do not share your moving decisions online or social media. Last but not least please visit the city, state or country your moving to first than make the decision to move there.
As a very Proud Afrikan, i wanna live and move to Ghana, Return to Mother Afrika. for Afrikans who wish to live anywhere follow your dreams. Peaceful Nations like Costa Rica, Panama, Canada, New Zealand, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Chile, Indonesia, Australia, Japan and Vanuatu are great choices. Peace and Blessings family.
@@jamint.jaddua1771 Do you have facts to back up that claim. You know economic data proving that China own more assets in Africa than Europeans, Americans, Canadians. How about Indian ownership of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania in the 1970s? (don't worry my post will get blocked again, as is the wonders of US censorship of TH-cam).
My choice is to go to Africa i have narrowed the list to three Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. I am building relationships in those countries in advance so I can hit the ground running and lot of business opportunities its amazing.
I live in Canada , trust me I would live in Ghana or European countries in a heartbeat. Canada can be expensive and tax heavy. Starting a business can a hassle to start in comparison to the U.S.
What makes you think that he's living in the U.S. or another Western nation other than Ghana? Look, not everyone thinks the U.S. is the greatest country in the world, and I can show you many documents that the U.S. has a lot of problems.
I've heard many good things about Costa Rico and I've met really wonderful, friendly ppl from Costa Rico here in America. It makes me want to visit. The only negative thing I heard Abt CR is a bit of a crime problem. Not sure if that's true.
Loving this list, thank you for this. Currently an expat in Milan, I will definitely have to visit some of the places on this list to get a better feel for the country. Thanks again!
Black Excellist is the best source for all of my travel information. However, Spain was not a serene city for African Americans. As MrPman474 said, the people treated my friends and I like we were a threat to them. Evil looks, Curse words, we cut our trip short and flew back home. The next year, we went to Ghana. Thank Black Excellist for the information on Ghana. Remove Spain from this list. They are awful people toward blacks. Later.
Ive Been going to spain since 2014 and one of the places I am planning on relocating to. I already have a coalition of friends there and everytime I go the experience gets better and better. Ive never as a black man receive any racism in the 20 times I’ve been there. Sorry that was your experience. There are black Americans living there that are doing just fine and are thriving
It would be great if the was a video on this channel explaining where to get information on the visa process and other steps to take to prepare to live in these countries. This would be so helpful. Thank you for posting this video.
For some reason I have found most of these type of videos ommit that, I am wondering why. It is of paramount importance if you plan to say anyplace long term.
I totally agree ...... Belize is the 1! along with the other 2 but Im definitely getting a place in Caye Caulker Island off the coast of Bz....No cars all sand just golf carts allowed cheaper places and businesses to invest in... Im soo done with this country.
Am surprised that you have not mentioned countries in southern Africa. Zambia , Botswana and Namibia are very peaceful and accommodating countries with very stable economies and governments. The population in these countries are low but with good infrastructure.
Having lived in US for a few years most are only familiar with South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and perhaps Kenya. The US is for such a large nation so insular and culturally isolated. Watching news there explained a lot of the mindset. They don't ever discuss their neighbours Mexico or Canada at length.
alot of us where tricked into chasing after the carrot cars clothes jewlery instead of the traveling dream like the folks have saved for and accustomed to living experience of living abroad is so much more fulfilling than a person or two complimenting on your material goods.
I am very surprised that Mexico, Canada, and Spain made this list. Canada has police as racist as in America, and also very expensive. Spain - no way. The Spanish started the Atlantic slave trade and have never liked Blacks. Mexico - the crime. I live in Canada but I plan to move to Panama. I know that as Blacks we can never be 100% comfortable anywhere. But some places may be a little more tolerant toward us than others.
Canadian police may be racist but I don't see them killing the citizens like the US police force. People of color know racism is a fact but killing them and getting away with it on an almost daily basis is far worse.
I guess u gota stratch DR off some of y'all lists', becuz we have a reputation of being racist towards Haitians and other black foreigners (especially darkskin), partly true for majority of Dominican society
African Americans dont realize the privilege we have as Americans most of these countries especially the Latin ones are hostile to their native black people and foreign blacks will be treated with more respect. Ie think of how some white Americans prefer continental africans over black Americans it's the same thing. Also our American dollars also helps. Their not nice because they actually like you but nice because they see dollars signs.
You live in a Racist world to be honest. Ever wondered why Africans go there & always move back after getting established? Because they know they aren't second class citizens where they come from. The racism in the west is mind numbing. Live in a Society where you have a Say & social command. Any Smart black individual with enough money should invest in Africa. There are very nice Cities you could invest in and secure a future for your generations before its too late.
@@jqight740 what fight? And please dont say racism lol I’m not a soft snowflake I love being black and my life is good in America because I take advantage of the opportunity this country offers. Which is why immigrants are still trying to come here. And please don’t say police brutality because the entire system in America needs to be reworked and black aren’t the only ones killed by the police. So im not understanding what fight you’re actually talking about..

After being in Dar es Salaam for 6 months I realized I didn't like it so I got on a bus and went to Mombasa Kenya where I continue to live. My monthly budget is $650.00 including rent for a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, electricity, WiFi, food and entertainment. I'm typically at the beach most days.😊😊😊 Most people speak some English.

The irony. Portugal is the #1 ppl responsible for 70% of slave trade. The pirate Portuguese were a ppl who thrive off of catching Africans and transporting them for the British.
How could a nation who's navy was inferior to that of England, Spain, and France, who's population was smaller than the three above mentioned carry such a feat. A nation that could not even populate it's colonies properly. There never were any Portuguese pirates, if so name one.
Okay, interesting. But the list has no ranking and it would be great to understand how many African Americans have moved, are living and have purchased homes/business there.
No Black person can ever fit in a Country they are a Minority. Which is Why Africa has the Best Options. AAs can fit perfectly in some African countries like South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, Mauritius, Angola & Seychelles

Colombia should be on the list. I know from personally visiting there twice. And Canada is cold, expensive and wack. I got searched everytime I went there.

You missed South Africa, there’s a growing interest and influx of African American expats moving to South Africa, it undoubtedly has the best infrastructure, economy, education and services on the continent.
Why would any Black American want move to south Africa? infrastructure in South Africa wasn't even built for the black people to begin with. The minority controls all the wealth in South Africa plus crime there is high as hell. I would much rather spend my money in an African country like Ghana or Rwanda, although they have less infrastructure, they win because the crime is low, and they ain't second class citizens in their own country.
As a black person living in Canada Toronto and Montreal (if you speak fluent French) are the only places worth living. It’s still very very structurally racist so you will face challenges with finding a job (even with experience and credentials) , housing and getting loans for anything (even with good/ excellent credit).
@@karlosthejackel69 she said structurally racist. She also didn't state she wanted to leave Canada. She was just giving info for people who think Canada is a bed of Roses

Good info. Black America is not a monolith. We are hugely diverse in economic and social status, aspirations , capabilities , etc., etc. Leaving this country for greener pastures is the perfect decision for some . For countless others , we have paid the price of overcoming every obstacle set before us. This country, America, is ours more than any other ethnic group, except for native Amaricans !
The sadi part however, is that we not have any power to make decision that benefit us politically. So we are costantly at the mercy of someone else time table and on their terms period!!

I definitely recommend Brazil. Although there is the same history of Slavery and racism, there are more of "us" there. It is the 2nd most populated Black country in the world behind Nigeria. I just bought an apartment last year pre construction in Vitoria - the capital of the state of Espirito Santo - the next state north of Rio de Janeiro. Vitoria & it's sister city Vila Velha across the bay has a higher standard of living and lower crime rate than Rio. Blessed with beautiful beaches and mountains, this area is DEFINITELY worth looking into!
Brazil is not the second country with the most black people, this is a fallacy, 42% are white, 46% are Pardo = Mixed, and 9% are Black, in the united states you say that the child of a white person with a black person is black person, here it doesn't work that way, if a black person has a child with a white person, we call it pardo (mixed), I'm Pardo, I'm neither white nor black, and I accept myself very well that way, we have to respect the differences between countries and stop trying to impose your way of thinking on others' countries.

There's nothing to be concerned about. The content creator is giving his opinion, everybody doesn't want to move or travel to Africa and that's ok,everybody's gotta do what works for them.
You guys have to remember Black Americans have just started to travel to the African continent in larger numbers in the last couple of years so more African countries should be added to the list in the next 5 to 10 years.

Portugal is extremely ideal, for some Americans. I believe that if (a large number of) the natives there were not so inherently xenophobic/racist, this nation would be the better option. Blacks from 🇺🇸 could relocate to Portugal and potentially find a nearly perfect home away from home.
Mainly because Mexico didn't shut down during the pandemic, so people who wanted to get out and travel flocked to Tulum. Lol. I visited when no one knew where Tulum was in early 2019. It's beautiful, but it'll be a while before I go back because it's so crowded now. 😫

Move to another country, don't think about it, don't talk about it, just do it. You only have one life to live and if you stay in the USA you will always be looked at as a second class person and that will never change in your life time but you can change it by moving.
As a dark-skinned black American, I'd say that the treatment one receives in foreign countries is going to be "all over the place," so to speak. It's a very subjective thing. I've been to France and Spain. I really liked most of the folks I met in both countries. I'd return to either county in a heartbeat if I could. It's safe to say that we (all) are hoping we can put this pandemic behind us A.S.A.P. ! 🌍😎
Brasil and Colombia should be considered also as they have large black populations. Cartagena is perfect for those who like the beach and year-round humidity.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE CALIFORNIA TO LIVE IN LESOTHO? I WANT TO GET MORE INFORMATION POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE BEST CHOICE FOR ME WHO AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN THOUGHT OF MOVING TO SOUTH AFRICA AND LEAVE CALIFORNIA ALONE, EVEN IF I HAVE RELATIVES IN CALIFORNIA
Almost every country mentioned believes in traditional values such a a strong family structure, marriage, work ethic, and religious beliefs. I believe some people move out of the United States to escape the wokeness that has infected America. Low cost or free health care is a big attraction, too, along with lower costs of living. I am going to look at houses in Costa Rica. I respect and endorse that nation's respect for nature.
Most of the countries mentioned are pretty progressive, and friendly to all lifestyles, except some of the African countries, And if you are talking about the expanding rights of gay people, then most of the countries, like Mexico, Portugal, Brazil and Cost Rico are very accomodating toward gay people and few have equal marriage laws.
Thanks so much 4 this video! It is extremely informative especially, 4 Black Americans like me, who want a better ways 2 live our best & prosperous life. I also enjoyed this video because, I'll be traveling in search of the woman of my prayers and, wife her up! 👍

Hello. I have lived in Madrid, Spain for the past 18 years and have never had any problem with racism. I teach at a university in Madrid and have had no problems there either. However, we must remember that everyone has different experiences in life. There is no sense in arguing with anyone trying to prove someone wrong. To those who have bad experiences in Spain, move on and do not return. Ask yourself what have you learned from the experience. There are many other countries to visit. Find those that bring you joy and forget the ones that brought you grief and heartache. Life is too short to focus on the negative.
a few blacks have lived in America over 40 yrs, and said they have never faced racism, I tell them that most likely it was there and they were too stupid to recognize it
I plan on going to Spain myself
@@julienalexander6113 l am sure you will enjoy it! Keep an open mind and let life unfold.
@@TeacherTrainerMadrid indeed. Thanks man
What African country are you from ?Do you think you will ever go back home to teach young people ln your country or maybe an on line course that is recognized by your home country. Please they need you .
A growing amount of people, of all races, are moving out of the US for a better life. Especially in recent years due healthcare, cost of living, violence, racism and the government just not giving a care in general about anyone other than the 1%. I truly believe America is in rapid decline at this point and it's better to get out now rather than later if possible.
Yup im fed up with this place
I wanna leave this place so badly and my mom agrees, the only thing slowing the process is money sadly. We're black so I'm doing a lot of research on places where we are the most accepted, obviously there's racism pretty much every where but I'd rather deal with weird stares than constant anxiety about getting hate crimed or killed🚶🏾♀️
@Nemusis 999 Yes please stay, why fight against the mark?...I mean jab I hope you got yours. Why troll blacks, just sit back nukes are coming to a neighborhood near you....as soon as we leave in mass.
I got out specifically of its Racially Motivated Murder of Black People using White Police Officers
@Nemusis 999 does that apply to you too when your candidate does win? Maybe you could leave and go to Europe rather than destroy government?
Belize, stood out for me. So glad I found this video, I’ve been thinking about moving for years. My daughter graduates from high school this year and I want out of the USA
Go for it, inflation will increase again and again. I'm saving up and moving to Brazil 🇧🇷 because of afro culture there.
@Nemusis 999 whats your problem?
Beware of the crime in Belize
Portugal threw me off. I lived there years ago and experienced some of the worst racism of my life. I wonder if these African Americans who live there speak the language or if they live in a bubble. Many Black Portuguese and Brazilians of all races have complained about their treatment.
Spain honestly wasn't much better.
I don't hate the US enough to go somewhere, where I'm not going to be treated with respect. Good luck!
I loved Portugal as an African American, and found the people genuine. Any hostility I experience, unfortunately, was among some of the black immigrants there, but some others were very nice.
They don't like black people. A family friend went there on vacation said while in restaurants the white waiters and waitresses acted as if they should not be serving black people.
This isn’t the same experience for everyone. Some have had great success there and tragic ones in the US. Hopefully fear doesn’t hold anyone hostage in the US
@@xfactor2572 You're right, but I've yet to see real examples of great success- Portuguese jobs, that pay well, Portuguese friends, fluency in the language. If you don't speak the language, you're missing out on the real culture. I lived there some years back, but I didn't see any black people in good positions or "thriving " as African Americans put it. I think it's part illusional. Just because there are lots of black people there, doesn't mean that they are thriving. It might take a while for them to realize it. Yes, it beautiful its a beautiful country, but also has racial issues. Just talk to the black Portuguese, they 'll tell you the truth.
I agree whit you. I have lived in Portugal for 5 years. I feel tired and frustrated and intend to live in the United States, as i believe i will see more representative representation and community spirit, even if i am not inclued because i am Afro Brazilian, but i belive it will be more welcoming than Portugal.
You forgot to mention that Belize is an English-speaking country, so there's no language barrier.
Under the heading it stated that the primary language is English.
What about the education, I.T tech careers and christian communities there?
@@SweetBrownGirl the less Christian communities the better
As I get older and my children go off to college, I'm just so so ready to finally go. I MUST experience something so new before I leave here. I must know how it feels to be released of American culture. This video has inspired me greatly.
Go for it!
Same!!
Try get da kids to come to....nothing left for us here
Tell ya kids to go with you…they don’t like us in the US..
Me too, I joined a travel club with international members and travel. Sometimes I go alone because when you arrive you meet other members before you go on at least two excursions. I hope that you get a "running buddy" or two to go and enjoy and see other cultures.
Not that I am seeking solidarity from anyone because, as a Black American (USA) woman (yes I said it and yes it matters), I am accustomed to not receiving basic empathy, however, I am entitled to my feelings based on my experiences like every other human being.
The resentment toward Black USA Americans across the globe is real and it is nasty, including from other African descended people. The USA experience of racism is unique and the most traumatizing of any other in history. While you do not have to agree with our opinions, don't tell us that our experiences are not real or are inflated simply because they are not your experiences. The ignorance and self-hate in this comment section and in the world (including within our own community) is real.
I was raised with intelligence and dignity and I hold my head up high - this means that I do not need to tear down others to lift my own esteem because I know my worth. However, I will not put up with foolishness whether in my own country or abroad because as a daughter of the only true God, freedom was handed to me not by man but by His Spirit.
I am free to move as I please and move I do. Do not tell us to "stay home" or to "go back" without expecting a passionate response and thinking that we must do it because you are intimidated by our strength and honesty. Also, stop tearing us down only to expect us to stand up for you when you too are treated as we are because we don't owe anyone anything but to mind our business.
My value to the world is no less than yours and I will always speak my truth unabashadly whether you attempt to quiet me or not; I implore everyone to do the same within their right and without intentionally hurting others. What comes around always goes around.
But ma'm if you go to other Countries and you bring this mentality that the whole world is racist and that especially towards african-americans then you might see racism even if its not really against African Americans or not racism at all.
Some Africans that moved to the US don't like that some African Americans almost get angry with them for not having the same mentality but they don't have the same history.
Jewish people were victims of racism, genocide and pogroms during 2000 years but most of them don't think that the world hates them.
Im just saying don't assume that the world hates you and if someone is rude that it has to be because you are African American.

As an African-American I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly ten years. Here are some countries in South America that you might take a look at also, Brazil 🇧🇷 Uruguay 🇺🇾 Chile 🇨🇱 Ecuador 🇪🇨 and Peru 🇵🇪. Also no one ever seems to mention the South of France its not as expensive as you might think 😉.
What cities/states or countries would you recommend in the South of France?
I would use Nice, France 🇫🇷. Nice would be my base from there you could visit the whole French Rivera, the Spanish and Italian Coasts and even take the bullet train to Paris in about 5 and a half hours 😀. Oh I forgot Monaco 🇲🇨 😀. Also you could take a ferry ⛴ boat 🚢 to North Africa from Marseilles France which is a fabulous 👌 city in its own right you can walk on Roman built streets in Marseilles.
Mark, I lived in Europe (Spain and Portugal) in my youth. I would take the Eurorail to France.
After making friends, I quickly learned that Marseilles and Bordeaux are 2 South France Cities to avoid.
Cheap but NOT worth all the crime there. A few "no-go" areas within the Arrondissements.
Why didn't you mention Colombia?
I didn't mention Colombia because I have never been to Colombia those countries that I have mentioned either I visited or I encounter people from those countries. I had some kind of knowledge about those countries.
If it wasn’t for economic instability and the corrupt government causing other issues ,Haiti would’ve been on that list (I hope it is one day) ,It was the first Black Country to pass a law that automatically granted any black person that reaches the island freedom and refuge during slavery .A few AAs that were able to reach us were automatically free .I know random lol
My goal is to get very rich soon and build a lot of real estate there 🥰💪🏾
Knowing all that you guys have been through, I believe Haitians have an extraordinary ability to overcome and excel amidst adversity. Despite all the bullshit that's going on now something big is definitely on the horizon for Haiti, I wish you all the best nonetheless! 👍🏽🥰
You just named off almost all Afrifan countries... it makes youbwodner ifnits genetic because African countries are the worst next to places like Mexico
Definitely not random. ✊🏽🇭🇹
I have two Haitian brothers as one of my best of Friends. Even though theyre now living in Finland, i can feel the richness of their culture by just stepping into their home and seein the family be together. Their mom is always ready to embrace me and feed me 🤭 i truly consider myself as the Lucky one to have been able to see at least that portion of their culture and mindset they carried with them when moving here. I definetly want to visit Haiti at some point when im financially more stable. There are a lot of great places in this world.🙏
Many people are leaving the USA in droves. I am glad you did this review, giving people a choice. Blacks and whites have been moving out of the USA, because of cost of living and the health care benefits are better in other countries.
Yeah, they're leaving for so many reasons. The rich are leaving for tax and corporate tax purposes. The rest of the Americans are leaving because there's no middle-class, inflation, no work-life balance, the cost of living is too high, the job environment is poor, no good quality of education, no universal health care, housing is expensive, etc. And the list goes on, too many to mention.
Love it. This was a Native/Mexican/Latino country/land to begin with, and I love how White People are leaving and the Latinos continue to grow?
@@WHYOSHO Latino never existed until the Spanish took Amerindian wives and created a new Race your nothing but a product of colonialism my friend. your fathers blood is Spanish pure and simple and you will never get rid of it ever. you are 50% European.

I think one thing many Black Americans fail to grasp is that outside of the US you will be seen as an American first and foremost. I'm black British and I and British first as that's my culture. When I travel to Caribbean or S A. I know this and whilst skin colour may be same culturally we are not. To think you'll arrive in a black nation where you don't know the culture, customs, language and assume you'll just fit in is a bit naive.
@Nemusis 999 That speaks volumes of one's experience, global outlook for lack there of and travel. I take it you've been to the UK and abroad. Please stay in the US. It fits you.
Ok, are you considered British by the indigenous Britons and their system.
Black British wow. Don't you have ancestry? Last I check no black have root in Britain.
@@afrikanheritage99 So what, if you are black and raised in Britain, born there, know their history, food, culture, and more then you are British. Just because you have roots in other places doesn't change where you are born and raised. Like yeah I have African Roots but I was still raised and born in America. Plus like they said just because you go to somewhere that shares a skin color with you doesn't mean you'll be welcomed. That doesn't even happen in America between neighborhoods.
Exactly
Might be tough at first but the blood of your ancestors have many things in common that will make it easier to fall in step.
I'm a digital nomad and focus more on living in African countries. Ghana was definitely one of my favorites. I didn't get to make it to Senegal but it's on my list!
I want to at least visit Senegal in my lifetime. I did an ancestry test and my ancestors on my fathers side are from Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal!
@@SongofaBeach2012 that's cool. My mother's ancestry is Sierra Leone. I lived there for 3 months before I got the results and felt most at home.

Let me add this. If you are going to live in another country, make sure you learn the language of that country. Why? You are respected even more. And it increases you everyday living options. Whether that be shopping or touring. As an African American, I speak fluent Spanish. So when I travel, I am able to tour and shop with confidence in Spanish speaking countries. Also study and learn the countries monetary currency. And lastly, learn the ins and outs, do's and don't and the ropes to jump and those to skip. Living abroad is not the panacea its made out to be unless YOU are ready and have done extensive research. I say this as a military veteran who has traveled extensively and a person who has lived in over 12 foreign countries. I now live in the USA.
I'm also surprised that Spain was on this list. They are extremely hostile towards Africans/people of African decent. Afro Latino friends of mine had horrible experiences while there. Just look at all of the racist incidents connected with their soccer teams over the years!!!
I thought a lot of countries treated us the same. Good to know there’s options. At this point I feel like if in us to run. I’m not sure why people keep trying to come here. It’s not the land of opportunity for all.
Then you should remain in your oh-so friendly and fair America. I get in and out of Spain from our base in Morocco often. Don't see what your "friends" see. If you decide to ever LIVE someplace else, please hang-up your American culture at the door before you go.
I've never been to Spain, but I've heard the same. My daughter's afro Latina teacher went there on vacation & she told her students that she had horrible racist treatment & experience . On the other hand my Black nephew who's from Britain loves Spain & he visits often & has lots of friends there. IMy african American niece spent a semester there studying Spanish & she had a good experience. I''m wondering WHY some black ppl have bad experiences in Spain & some don't? I was afraid to visit bc of what I heard, but NOW I want to visit. I'm curious to see how I'd be treated there. I'm a naturalized US citizen, originally from Jamaica. MANY foreign ppl here in US mistake me for an African American 😊 the ppl in Spain wil think I'm African American tool😊
I go to Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Majorca de Palma) quite often and have never had any issues there. I've met other black Americans there who also had no issues. However, some seem to be colorists. Apparently darker skinned black people may be treated poorly. I'm also fluent in castellano so that may have something to do with the way I am received. I would move there or to Switzerland in a heartbeat if my husband would agree.
@@shotelco America has a richer relationship with racism so they tend to be very offended by things that are unintentionally racist. Sometimes ppl are genuinely ignorant about African people and ask or say things that may offend.
I have lived in three countries outside the US and traveled to 30 others. Currently, I have lived in Costa Rica for 2 years and it is the most expensive country in Central America and more the Mexico and almost all of Latin America. Costs for housing, cars, electronics, good wine and beef is high.
Remember, Don’t move to any country without living in that country for at least 12 months. Visiting and living there is very different. Check out the country before deciding to move there.
If you are moving some where only share that information with those you trust. Do not share your moving decisions online or social media. Last but not least please visit the city, state or country your moving to first than make the decision to move there.

Having lived in US for a few years most are only familiar with South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and perhaps Kenya. The US is for such a large nation so insular and culturally isolated. Watching news there explained a lot of the mindset. They don't ever discuss their neighbours Mexico or Canada at length.
Lesotho too 😻
alot of us where tricked into chasing after the carrot cars clothes jewlery instead of the traveling dream like the folks have saved for and accustomed to living experience of living abroad is so much more fulfilling than a person or two complimenting on your material goods.
I am very surprised that Mexico, Canada, and Spain made this list. Canada has police as racist as in America, and also very expensive. Spain - no way. The Spanish started the Atlantic slave trade and have never liked Blacks. Mexico - the crime. I live in Canada but I plan to move to Panama. I know that as Blacks we can never be 100% comfortable anywhere. But some places may be a little more tolerant toward us than others.
Canadian police may be racist but I don't see them killing the citizens like the US police force. People of color know racism is a fact but killing them and getting away with it on an almost daily basis is far worse.
i was saying
I guess u gota stratch DR off some of y'all lists', becuz we have a reputation of being racist towards Haitians and other black foreigners (especially darkskin), partly true for majority of Dominican society
If you think canada is racist then everywhere is going to seem racist to you

African Americans dont realize the privilege we have as Americans most of these countries especially the Latin ones are hostile to their native black people and foreign blacks will be treated with more respect. Ie think of how some white Americans prefer continental africans over black Americans it's the same thing. Also our American dollars also helps. Their not nice because they actually like you but nice because they see dollars signs.
You live in a Racist world to be honest. Ever wondered why Africans go there & always move back after getting established? Because they know they aren't second class citizens where they come from. The racism in the west is mind numbing. Live in a Society where you have a Say & social command. Any Smart black individual with enough money should invest in Africa. There are very nice Cities you could invest in and secure a future for your generations before its too late.

"America has the best Medical Centers?!" Haha! Is that why the middle-class to upper-class whites are going to South Asia and other countries for their quality of health care and medical facilities?
America wins
Got my family vacations planned for the next 5 years. Thanks for the video! 💯
Have fun!
Just remember that you cannot travel internationally without the "snake bite" and ALL of its updates.
@@jayekaye5638 I know, I have them all! It’s mandatory for HHS/CDC employees.

The other African Countries for the African Diaspora
Tanzania, South Africa, and Zambia. Thanks! For sharing. I'm looking.
I moved to Santa Marta, Colombia in 2018 and got a retirement Visa. When COVID 19 hit in 2020 they closed the beaches..... and stopped all air travel I had to leave. So when they finally lifted the travel ban I went to Tanzania where there weren't any COVID restrictions. After being in Dar es Salaam for 6 months I realized I didn't like it so I got on a bus and went to Mombasa Kenya where I continue to live. My monthly budget is $650.00 including rent for a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, electricity, WiFi, food and entertainment. I'm typically at the beach most days.😊😊😊
Most people speak some English.
Guyana South America is a peaceful country with lots of lush land, ethnic foods, oil, bauxite and gold. The rainforest and savannahs are immense..
Is it safe? I heard there are a lot of muggings there
My husband and I are looking to move abroad as we speak. Great info🙏🏼
Good luck!
Checkout Ghana
Watch the channel called The Real South Africa it's been owned by African American couple they moved to South Africa you will get the full information you need
Same.!!!
I recommend Ghana 🇬🇭 for you and Family and trust me you will thank me later.
I have been living abroad with my 2 kids most of the last 15 years. We can do it. We get a much better life abroad for a lot less money and strife..From Bahia Brazil
The irony. Portugal is the #1 ppl responsible for 70% of slave trade. The pirate Portuguese were a ppl who thrive off of catching Africans and transporting them for the British.
How could a nation who's navy was inferior to that of England, Spain, and France, who's population was smaller than the three above mentioned carry such a feat. A nation that could not even populate it's colonies properly. There never were any Portuguese pirates, if so name one.
The Portuguese did not thrive on catching Africans, the Moors did as the Trans Saharan Slave Trade existed for 1300 years.
The British transported their own enslaved Africans. Talk about revisionist history.
Okay, interesting. But the list has no ranking and it would be great to understand how many African Americans have moved, are living and have purchased homes/business there.
I agree. More information would side in making decisions
No Black person can ever fit in a Country they are a Minority. Which is Why Africa has the Best Options. AAs can fit perfectly in some African countries like South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, Mauritius, Angola & Seychelles
Many blacks go to Latin America cuz they like being around mixed race Latino people, or Europe cuz they lowkey like their "oppressor"
Now thats true....
Life is best if ur in the majority...
People/Migrants....should be more participatory in Nation building....Sense of brother hood... Ubuntu.....

I've been to Panama a couple of times, and it's my favorite place. The weather may be rainy sometimes, but overall, the country offers different places to visit.
For some reason Panama keeps coming up as a destination that I should consider living in. I need to do some more research.
Colombia should be on the list. I know from personally visiting there twice. And Canada is cold, expensive and wack. I got searched everytime I went there.
Yeah, I would never ever consider Canada especially being from a US/Canada border state. It's cold as hell. Many of them leave during winter or move outright to the Caribbean. Colombia is on my short list, Santa Marta.
@@chillycharles910 Funny you said Santa Marta. I was there back in February and it was better and cheaper than Cartagena.
@@travelingjohn69 What makes Santa Marta better than Cartagena? I may have to pay a visit. I have been to Medellin, Bogota, and Cartagena so far and Cartagena has been my favorite.
@@traveladdict196 Santa Marta is cheaper and has a better nightlife. Even though it's smaller. Plus the beach is better. It's a bus ride over the hill. But you can hike it if you wanna be in shape.
You missed South Africa, there’s a growing interest and influx of African American expats moving to South Africa, it undoubtedly has the best infrastructure, economy, education and services on the continent.
They’ve been lied to. It doesn’t matter, they can stay away.
South Africa also had the worst racial climate universally speaking.....
It was deliberate mate....The hate is real.
@@ceehach3386 you not gonna experience it cos we the majority here, media has lied to African American. Check the real south africa channel on TH-cam
Why would any Black American want move to south Africa? infrastructure in South Africa wasn't even built for the black people to begin with. The minority controls all the wealth in South Africa plus crime there is high as hell. I would much rather spend my money in an African country like Ghana or Rwanda, although they have less infrastructure, they win because the crime is low, and they ain't second class citizens in their own country.
As a black person living in Canada Toronto and Montreal (if you speak fluent French) are the only places worth living. It’s still very very structurally racist so you will face challenges with finding a job (even with experience and credentials) , housing and getting loans for anything (even with good/ excellent credit).
If it’s very very racist why are you there?
Everyone is onto your victimhood
@@karlosthejackel69 she said structurally racist. She also didn't state she wanted to leave Canada. She was just giving info for people who think Canada is a bed of Roses
@@karlosthejackel69 Her honest experience is welcome. If you want people to pretend anti-black racism doesn't exist rather don't watch these videos.
I'm surprised Jamaica isn't on this. I've seen a lot of black Americans here.
I've been to Mexico but wasn't serious enough in my "scouting", too busy having a good time. I've got to get more serious and I will be making plans for Ghana and PORTUGAL! Yay! Thank you.
Good info. Black America is not a monolith. We are hugely diverse in economic and social status, aspirations , capabilities , etc., etc.
Leaving this country for greener pastures is the perfect decision for some . For countless others , we have paid the price of overcoming every obstacle set before us. This country, America, is ours more than any other ethnic group, except for native Amaricans !
The sadi part however, is that we not have any power to make decision that benefit us politically. So we are costantly at the mercy of someone else time table and on their terms period!!
Very true…..except that “Black Americans” are the true Native Americans of America aka turtle island 😉
Panama is a beautiful country and the people are very hospitable. The dollar is widely used there also.
Dollar is not strong & the taxes can be high

What part of Canada,I would love to visit first.
@@skywilliams323 Canada is cool but it was a slave trading country I don't know it was segregated but at least they didn't say anything about interracial marriage which is cool and there flag is cool, there favorite sport is hockey which means my 4th favorite sport and best part is there maple syrup is made from Canada.
Also I wanted to visited from Toronto, Vancouver, and especially Niagara Falls in Canada.
@@Kingofthepeople Vermont does produce maple syrup 🍁🍶
Thailand has mosquito issues
*sigh* I'm ready to goooo! This place is weighing so heavily on my soul. 😔 I know that no place is perfect & I have no expectation of that, but MY GAWD! Ancestors, give me wings!
I've lost myself in the US & that's no one's fault... I feel as though I was BORN lost. Such a strange feeling. I'm just...Ugh!... Idk, WEARY??? Is that the word?
This, for me, isn't about running AWAY from life, but running TOWARDS it. Somewhere where the weather's moderate, the food's great, ppl and nature are in harmony with each other & my introversion is respected. 😌
I am WITH YOU all the wayyyy.. just did my passport app today FUCK IT I am leaving 💯✈️📌🧳🤚🏿
Love what you said, I feel u
Glad Belize is on the list. I'm planning on moving there permanently.
I definitely recommend Brazil. Although there is the same history of Slavery and racism, there are more of "us" there. It is the 2nd most populated Black country in the world behind Nigeria.
I just bought an apartment last year pre construction in Vitoria - the capital of the state of Espirito Santo - the next state north of Rio de Janeiro. Vitoria & it's sister city Vila Velha across the bay has a higher standard of living and lower crime rate than Rio. Blessed with beautiful beaches and mountains, this area is DEFINITELY worth looking into!
Brazil is not the second country with the most black people, this is a fallacy, 42% are white, 46% are Pardo = Mixed, and 9% are Black, in the united states you say that the child of a white person with a black person is black person, here it doesn't work that way, if a black person has a child with a white person, we call it pardo (mixed), I'm Pardo, I'm neither white nor black, and I accept myself very well that way, we have to respect the differences between countries and stop trying to impose your way of thinking on others' countries.
I just moved to Serbia an now I’m the head director of the Serbian National Big Band.
The buildings that you showed when Ghana was being featured are not in Ghana!!!! I know because I've been there there is no tall buildings along the coast
I was thinking the same thing! I haven’t been there but have seen a lot of pictures of Accra on TH-cam.
So what will you get from you comment noses, what we know is Ghana is among
Nor is it that safe! They are as big in scamming culture and Nigeria.
🧐 Some else just posted something about why the Spain portion included pic/video of Downtown San Francisco… Hmmm
@@nusuralove4407
This entire list is questionable.
Most of these options are not necessarily welcoming to melanated people.
My niece just visited Costa Rica and she said it is beautiful!!!
Oh yes my country is beautiful also people are very friendly.
A bit concerned most of these aren't African or predominantly black countries but also not surprised 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Agree 💯.
There's nothing to be concerned about. The content creator is giving his opinion, everybody doesn't want to move or travel to Africa and that's ok,everybody's gotta do what works for them.
Definitely not shocked 🤧
You guys have to remember Black Americans have just started to travel to the African continent in larger numbers in the last couple of years so more African countries should be added to the list in the next 5 to 10 years.
Most Black Americans have self hate...
Just went to Thailand, and so glad Spain is on the list! Valencia was fabulous!
I left the U.S. 20 months ago and moved to Merida Mexico, my next home will be the Philippines.
I was shocked when you mentioned Portugal 🇵🇹 I was about to put comment and you nailed it Portugal.
Yes I just got back 2 weeks vacation amd wow amazing country and cheap food, nice people but not friendly. I missed it. You will find plenty beautiful people at the beach all week
#replay - Value Bomb - Much love & many thx 4 sharing this with us!
Good. I'm from Africa and migrated to the USA and I'm loving it out here. Y'all can move, stay, live and keep Africa. I bet you for every 1 Black American that moves to Africa, there are like 1,000 Africans that will ABSOLUTELY love to take their place in the USA. Goodluck to y'all.
Out of curiosity, may I ask what you like better about the USA, and did you move from any of the African countries listed on here?
@@leej1759 Moved to the US from Nigeria. Spent most of my Life in Nigeria. Things I like about the USA. EVERYTHING. The fact that if you are focused, work hard, dedicated and determined you can absolutely achieve your goals, ambitions and aspirations. I moved to the USA with just $100 to my name. Today I own a house in the US and in Nigeria, a business and I'm able to render Help to folks in Nigeria. That's why I fly the American flag proudly on my House. Lived most of my life in Africa, so I can absolutely compare both continents and attest to which one is better for ME. Sometimes we need to look in the mirror and figure out what the real problem is. Is there "RACISM" out here. Yep. But in Africa there is this thing called "TRIBALISM" which is even worse. But I learnt a long time ago that EVERYONE is not supposed to like YOU and you are not supposed to like EVERYONE. So I have never looked at such things as a hinderance. With GOD being on your side, The ONLY thing that can STOP you is YOU. Add I absolutely love American women more than African women. (Just throwing that in there.

This guy is white, black Americans are doing well in Africa. Africa is not as it is portrayed in the media.
There is so much in this video that the author got WRONG I don't know where to begin. Seems to have been put together based on hearsay rather than international experience. Sorry but this video should be redone with better data!
Ok great list! But if I can mention some honorable mentions.. 1. Brazil 🇧🇷 2. Colombia 🇨🇴 3. Dominican 🇩🇴 republic 4. South Africa 🇿🇦 5. Philippines 🇵🇭 6. Uganda 🇺🇬 7. Japan 8. Veitnam
I heard Vietnam was a must to at least experience
@@YourLifestylist I heard the same thing... you can definitely enjoy...
Not the Dominican Republic, they hate blacks/Haitians there
Vietnam is a beautiful country and the people are very friendly. It’s a place that is often overlooked but definitely at least worth a visit.

My family moved to Quebec from NYC to live a better and safer life and access to health care and lower cost of living living a much better life
Hello beautiful, how are you doing today.
This was an outstanding video and info on other places outside the USA 🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing this type of info, also became a subscriber as well.. 👏🏽🙌🏼👍👊😀😀😀
Glad you found it helpful. Thx for subbing 🙏🏽
Not sure about that Portugal
Portugal is extremely ideal, for some Americans. I believe that if (a large number of) the natives there were not so inherently xenophobic/racist, this nation would be the better option. Blacks from 🇺🇸 could relocate to Portugal and potentially find a nearly perfect home away from home.
Absolutely love Portugal that’s where I’m heading‼️
I was wondering why Tulum Mexico was such a popular vacation spot. Now I see why. Cool.
Mainly because Mexico didn't shut down during the pandemic, so people who wanted to get out and travel flocked to Tulum. Lol. I visited when no one knew where Tulum was in early 2019. It's beautiful, but it'll be a while before I go back because it's so crowded now. 😫
@@KenyaG. That's what I'm afraid of; it's going to be overcrowded. Once people know of a good thing, watch them ALL flock there.
@@destamcghie632 I've heard people say, about a year ago, it's the Miami of Mexico. It's really nothing like Miami, but I think because it's been so crowded the last couple of years. I want to take my daughter to see the Ruins, but I just don't like places that are very touristy and crowded.
I'm glad that black americans are moving to african countries mentioned on this list. I'm zambian and they should also come here since we're a nice and accomodating country.
May we all explore and find peace in these comments!!!!!!
My only advice for brothers and sisters leaving America for foreign lands is this. Leave your biases, assumptions, and preconceived notions about other cultures behind. If you want a better experience while living in foreign lands, you must do these things.
Move to another country, don't think about it, don't talk about it, just do it. You only have one life to live and if you stay in the USA you will always be looked at as a second class person and that will never change in your life time but you can change it by moving.
There's no reason to stay in the US when you can get on a plane and leave. Many many black Americans have gone back to Africa and love it!
As a dark-skinned black American, I'd say that the treatment one receives in foreign countries is going to be "all over the place," so to speak. It's a very subjective thing. I've been to France and Spain. I really liked most of the folks I met in both countries. I'd return to either county in a heartbeat if I could. It's safe to say that we (all) are hoping we can put this pandemic behind us A.S.A.P. ! 🌍😎
Ghana yes, Senegal, Costa Rico Panama & Belize; Spanish is my 3rd spoken language.
Brasil and Colombia should be considered also as they have large black populations. Cartagena is perfect for those who like the beach and year-round humidity.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL MY GHANIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS! GOD BLESS FOREVER MORE! 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭
Almost every country mentioned believes in traditional values such a a strong family structure, marriage, work ethic, and religious beliefs. I believe some people move out of the United States to escape the wokeness that has infected America. Low cost or free health care is a big attraction, too, along with lower costs of living.
I am going to look at houses in Costa Rica. I respect and endorse that nation's respect for nature.
& NOT American justice system
Why you think all these countries peeps risk life & limb to get here- but you go and I wish you the best! Bye ✌️
exactly. black people too woke.
Nothing is FREE. Someone, somewhere, is paying for it.
The Wokeness is what's fueling the Exodus ....
Most of the countries mentioned are pretty progressive, and friendly to all lifestyles, except some of the African countries, And if you are talking about the expanding rights of gay people, then most of the countries, like Mexico, Portugal, Brazil and Cost Rico are very accomodating toward gay people and few have equal marriage laws.
I’ve traveled the world and live in many countries but I am NOT running, and doing so is an act of defeat
Thanks so much 4 this video! It is extremely informative especially, 4 Black Americans like me, who want a better ways 2 live our best & prosperous life. I also enjoyed this video because, I'll be traveling in search of the woman of my prayers and, wife her up! 👍
They did one about a year ago.
Come to Africa😘
Watch the The Real South Africa channel it's African American couple that moved to South Africa and another couple Dr Alsad and Adrian also American couple that are moving to South Africa by June they left tonight Back to America they will give you the full information about South Africa
I have a 2-year-old but I'm laying a foundation to leave in 4 years or earlier. This is a great list.
Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏽
Suggest immersing your child in learning a second and third language. The more I travel, the more I wish i was fluent in other languages
You guys did a excellent job putting this list together 😉
Spain and Portugal seems like beautiful countries. I would also love to visit Vancouver,Canada.
Just heads up Vancouver is very expensive as Canadian. I'm actually looking to move to Africa in Rwanda or Ethiopia you gotta pick great place that your dollar would go further.
Beautiful but not cheap place to live my friend. Go Montreal or Toronto.
Portugal and Spain are getting very expensive to live rn. Was just over there 2 weeks ago. Economy is in decline.
I loved this. Please see if you can do a review on Curaçao. I loved it there.
As a white woman from North Europe I have always considered Africa as the own Continent of the black people. This was nice to watch! Beautiful places.
