This sounds good. However, I would prefer a country within the continent of Africa. I desire to live and interact with predominantly black communities. Johannesburg South Africa and Ghana are among my first choices even though my DNA is 48% Nigerian. A stable tranquility government coupled with safety, health care, and affordable Cost of Living are the things that I seek compatibility with.

I visited Panama for a month during a temporary duty assignment while serving in the Air Force in 1986, and Spain for two weeks for a military softball tournament in 1990. Both were as advertised. I’m ready to go back to both.

I’m of Tswana ancestry so I’m thinking about Botswana or Swaziland. I heard Rwanda is nice but don’t know about their citizenship.

We lived in Rwanda for about a year. Last we checked (Rwanda homepage) you must live in Rwanda for 10 years to be eligible for citizenship. The Tourism visa is for 6 months at a time. It's very clean and well-organized in Rwanda too. You can learn more about moving there in this video we did ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4XQpoh4m61pbdksi=X4phSThH_vyw9lq8 Botswana and Swaziland look beautiful, we'd love to visit those countries, too.

If you haven't visited Afrika, then you would never know that Afrika is safe, our people live in beautiful cities and beautiful homes. Our brothers and sisters in Afrika are very welcoming to you. They know what we as Black Americans have been going through in the states. I will tell anyone that you must visit before you make up any conclusions. Afrika has changed my life. I will be returning soon. Peace and blessings family, keep up the good work. Hakuna Matata. Ase.

I'm African. I lived in the United States for 2.5 decades. I left the United States and returned to Africa in 2020 because of racially motivated official murder of people of African descent by primarily White Police Officers, who murder people of African descent on a regular basis under the guise of self defense, fear or mistake. A 4 century old practice that has been used to control the growing population of people of African descent in America. Never, ever, ever again! BLESS BLACK AMERICA.

😳America needs to be honest with itself, the founding fathers never envisioned a diverse nation where people lived in racial harmony. They just wanted to get away from England and its Monarchy rules, they wanted a Europe in America minus a King's foot on their necks. If you dont believe me go to the naturalization act of 1790 by the first U.S. President and first U.S. Congress and look at the only people allowed to become U.S. Citizens. This stayed law until the 14th ammendment in 1868, an admendment Trump has vowed to get rid of when he takes office. The goal has always been a homegenous country of Europeans. Even Abraham Lincoln said in 1862 to free people of African descent in the northern states, when slavery is over European Americans will never see you as equals, and he also said that all people of African descent should leave America for their own good and those of his own race. Lincoln said to those who did not want to leave, that even the people on his side would not want them to stay if their whole popu;ation was free! They dont teach this in school but Lincoln writings are availble for all to see. It gave me a more pessimitic view of things because we have been living a lie so long! Trump is only doing the will of the forefathers, we as minorities need to accept our place in this society, by abandoning this futile goal of equality, or take Lincoln's advice and leave for nations we are the majority!

How is it just possible for Black people like us to claim we don’t like em for no apparent reason? Even tribalism here in Africa isn’t about disliking each other but politically ochestrated by selfish evil politicians. Africa is a continent with 1.4 billion people , there’s vastness of cultures with every possible good & bad

We're in Kenya, we have been here about 8 months. You have to adjust to the timing of how things are handled, it is a slow slow process. We start 6 mo before we came and still... weather is gorgeous, we wish it was cleaner, we're in Nairobi, trash is a problem. We have visited Sout Africa, Joberg and Durban, we loved Durban more. You have to get use to load sharing in Joberg. People are nice everywhere we've been. We just got back from Mombasa, and again, people are nice, but the trash issue. We are looking for to visiting some bordering countries. Thanks for sharing the info, you all.

It is amazing how powerful Western media or maybe just American media really is. Black people have been programmed to understand that 'they are American'! Some how ALL their ancestors come from America...AND, America has the franchise on civilization and Africans [who developed civilization, education, religion, communication and commerce] are inherently and eternally inferior. I'm going on my fourth year here and it is the FREE-est and the most comfortable I have ever been.

A lot of our folks are ignorant and never took Africana studies courses in college. Forget about southerners. Generally speaking, they are clueless, education standards are so bad. I moved to Atlanta in 1984 to go to Emory Law School. I was 31 years old. The Black students organized a party a few weeks into the semester. I wore a solid color, off-white Senegalese shirt. This fool who had just graduated from Moorehouse was drunk and yelled at me "Watombo, where do you think you are in Africa?" I was so angry. I went off on him and told him he was ignorant. There are still a lot of people like that here. New York City was and is so different. There are a lot of Africans. I hung out with Africans at Hunter College CUNY where the Black world was celebrated.

It’s just straight up fear…especially of the unknown, of ending up worse than you were before, and of choosing the wrong place to move to. Visiting is wayyyy different than living there.

Fear of the unknown runs deep in American's it doesn't matter the ethnicity. I'm American with west Indian roots living in New Zealand for 19 years now. Every time I visit the states and mention where I live people actually ask me about my freedom and don't I miss living in a free country! Fear is the biggest part of sheer ignorance. My advise is to just live your life and enjoy , don't waste time explaining to Fear! 😊

I've been coming to Uganda since 2003 on short term mission trips. I retired in 2014 and came to Uganda in 2018 stayed three months and said I can live here. I love it especially in Jinja where I live because it is right on the equator. I get natural vitamin D, fresh food and fresh fruit. It's better for my health living here because I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I live a better life here with my social security. I appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing.

It’s so difficult - it’s one thing just being black but being black and gay put a whole different twist on this list. Panama and Ghana are out of the question - of course, the homophobia within various pockets of our community is ridiculous - but those are out of the question for me. And I’m not even outwardly - obviously gay - most people don’t even know I am unless they ask - but that’s not the point. I want feel comfortable wherever I live being who I am. Merida and Oaxaca sounds like the best places for me. Costa Rica sounds appealing but I need the sun 😂 and that London half a year of gloom mess, I cant deal with lol I’d be a depressed mess there 😂 But thank you all for this video, it was very helpful. 👍🏿

I like how Americans, black,white or other ethnicities assume that they can just move into other countries at will while their government treats people coming to their country like shit. And to sound superior to other migrants,they refer to themselves as expats. My view is know where your home is,and stay there.
