To what other countries should the Black person born in the USA flee?

I am not giving a country I think a Black DOSer should go to alone or in a group, for themselves or actually for the village, but I can say that to each continent I know a Black DOSer from the USA who left the usa to happiness for themselves.

Nothing can be done to heal mental wounds. No apologies or money will ever be enough.

I argue it isn't mental wounds but spiritual wounds.

Fair enough. I know far more Black folks from other countries who find happiness here in the USA than I hear from FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS ex-pats living abroad.

All of my FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS enjoy visiting other countries & working in them for periods of time but they always come back to the USA.

Point taken. I started to list physical & spiritual as wounds too.

Bottom line is deep wounds never truly heal without some form of revenge.

Otherwise, people remain scarred for life & from one generation to the next.😎

yeah , remember, the Black DOS relationship to the european colonies or the usa or others like brasil or mexico or india isn't financial. Our forebears had their world destroyed and then their children lived under the manipulation of enemies for hundreds of years. Money can't repair that. What Black DOSers should be looking for isn't money but a home that was lost a long time ago. A positive, overwhelmingly Black home.

Black Immigrants are looking for money. The USA is great at individual profiteering. IT was from the time of the european colonies to today. Robust Communities never survive in the usa, even white ones, individuals can always do well in the usa.

And that is the battle in the modern usa. Although the following is a crude summarization,

it boils down to those, of all lphenotypes, who see the usa s empire, enslaver, white that regardless of its media appearance needs to embrace its historic truths, which is strategically wiser, at least from a historic perspective

against those who see the usa as a country that can become a binder for humanity. They want to expand what the usa started as a strategy against the soviet union into something to unite all humanity, which has never been achieved for obvious reasons, but if successful can lead to an unprecedented era of healing.

The USA with all its warts & flaws is an FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS inheritance.

We should never stop demanding reparations for the 400+ years of slave labor & atrocities committed against our forebears.

The USA is our home. It would take a great deal of time, effort & resources to trace our lineage back to pick a part of Africa & establish ties there.

Then, it wouldn’t make much sense for FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS to trade places with the Black folks who are leaving Africa for a better life in the USA.

FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS are not welcomed into other countries unless they can afford to be there i.e. show up with a 💰 bag if they plan to stay for any period of time.

I would not advise FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS to trade places with them.

The USA is home for 50+ million Black folks who were born & raised here over many generations.

It is neither constructive or productive for a child born to dysfunctional parents to find a better set.

That child should grow up to live the best life possible despite the environment, conditions & circumstances by which they landed on the planet.

FBA/AfroAmerican/ADOS have survived & thrived here in the USA despite our history. We are a unique group of people who have done great things & who continue to influence the world.😎
