"The Black Ex-Pat Post: Where Can We Go?"


          

I don't want to spend the rest of my life in Amerikkka.

My 5-year plan: Move out of the U.S. I turn 47 in a couple weeks. By 50, I want to have my debt and credit cleared up and a legitimate plan in place to leave. then by 52, bounce.

So in my limited research on where Black Americans can move and thrive, I keep coming across these four places:

1. Thailand
2. Costa Rica
3. Hong Kong
4. New Zealand

does anyone have or know anyone BLACK that has experiences leaving the U.S. and living in these places?

or if you want to talk about other countries, that's fine too.
