@@camouflageartist8897The reason I wouldn’t move to Africa is because of some of its underdeveloped infrastructure and blackouts, the weather is too hot, not being able to get certain products, lack of conveniences, and it’s too far away from family. Some of these are the same reasons why I wouldn’t move to Iceland. If I did move out of the country, it would probably be to Mexico bc I already am familiar with the language and it is cheaper than the U.S., yet right next door. Canada wouldn’t work bc is too expensive, and I want to live around a BIPOC-ish community.

@@lastreal4111 - Modern day Blacks have no idea what "racism" is. The moments of prejudice and bigotry one will experience are far and few between. And to make matters worse, the overwhelming majority of Blacks experience more intra-bigtory and intra-prejudice from other Blacks, than they do from non-Blacks. Black Baby Boomers and Silent Generation can say they lived through true racism. Gen X'ers, Millennials, and Gen Zs cry racism for sport, because in their minds, it's the "Black thing to do", and to create an excuse why the world hasn't given them what they've been told by Blacks and others, they were entitled to. And I've lived overseas, and the American Blacks, notably the women be on some bullsh*t. When they are in the states, they claim they are under so much pressure to adhere to the status quo, materialism, they can't do this, they can't do that, but then when they go overseas, they things they refused to do in the US, they magically have an interest in. Hiking and seeing the wonders of the earth was beneath you in the US, but get overseas and now you want to be Ms. Walk of the Earth?

Mindset is the key. If we continue to tell ourselves we are victims to something that probably isn’t happening we begin to believe it. I have watched many videos of people being arrested in the US and it seems that law enforcement has a fear of arresting black criminals due to whatever reasons. Yet if one looks at the statistics in the US a white person is more likely to be gunned down by law enforcement. The media will have one believe anything that brings division. It’s not unusual for males to move out of the country. They tend to believe they can find females overseas who are more gullible to the American man. Especially if the male likes to put up a front of wealth.

So I'm Chinese by ethnicity, but because my father was a Chinese diplomat in Brussels at the time, I was born in Belgium. And I've lived in many countries in Europe, North/Cental/South America and a couple of years in Taiwan. I've encountered racism but mostly it didn't bother me. By the time I was an adult, I had become a Chinese-American, a college grad, got drafted in the Sixties, so Vietnam was my war, received an honorable discharge, went back to grad school, became an aerospace engineer, retired, and now am a father and grandfather. My feeling was that we're all the same in the sense that we all want to live a clean life, a peaceful life, and leave this earth a better place than we found it. But with climate change, I'm afraid that the world is becoming far more dangerous, unstable, and corrupt. And time isn't on our side.

There are things I don't like and things that are wonderful, there is no perfect place on earth. The Netherlands seems nice but if you like nature it's kind of crowded there, this is what is so great with Sweden because we have a lot of forests and nature it's not so populated as the Netherlands for example. Sweden and Italy is very different, as the north of Europe and south Europe is so different. I love the culture in the southern countries in Europe, because it's more open and warm, people are out more on the streets at night, it's more like in Brazil. In Sweden things can close early in the evening so that's a bit boring haha, but not everything closes early, it's still earlier in general than what it is in warmer countries.

I am just always so sad when Black folks move to other countries and say that race isn't as big of a deal in their new country than it was at home, which just further proves how racist of a country this is. Also, my heart smiles every time I see Black Americans living out their dreams in a new country, on THEIR OWN TERMS. It is just such a beautiful thing. Literally makes my heart smile.

We loved living in Iceland, once we were used to the climate. We lived in Keflavik. Our number one son was born there so it was a very special and happy time. I really enjoyed my time there. The weather can be “iffy” at times but we were told to not sit around waiting for “good weather”, but to make plans and “just go and do it”, whether it’s a trip to Reykjavik or finding a place to camp, which, I never thought I’d be camping in the snow, but a group of us did it and had a blast. The locals were pretty nice too. I loved the hotdogs called pilser, made from goat or sheep. While I was pregnant I craved them, and the fish called Issa was the best I’ve ever tasted. Some of our Icelandic friends worked on a fishing vessel and would bring us a fish which was so huge it made many many meals. I know how good cit feels young lady.
