The Preparation for an Exodus Thread

[kzzl]

Maybe its just me, but Switzerland never sounded like nigga paradise

"Let me leave america, to go to Switzerland"... said no real nigga ever

If i leave america, im going to a blk country.

Who leaves america to go to another wht country?

That's like leaving a Phat Ass Wht girl to go to a Fat Ass White girl.

Other countries don't appeal me to me for the most part. Especially other European countries. I don't care about their culture, their monuments, their people, or none of that shit. Sure as hell ain't about to pay to see it just for the sake of seeing it.

Browsing the travel thread and folks got all these pictures of foreign places and that shit does nothing for me.

 

[kzzl]

Far as this "exodus" goes, just tell me where a nigga can be a nigga in peace.Smoke my weed, drink henny, chase phat ass, and play my music loud without the bullshit. Get paid, live plush, and not have to jig for white folks. Where I ain't gotta feel like a soldier behind enemy lines when police show up.

That's the place I want y'all to tell me about.

 

[Swiffness!]

I was just gonna move to Denver or seattle

You want Seattle. Seattle stores can stay open till 10 or 11. Denver has a bullshit ordinance that says theirs have to close at 7.

It's fuckin amazing. Every nigga need to walk in one and remind themselves that VOTING made it possible. Like this what possible when you actually get your shit together and change the system. c02 oil is the truth I need a connect out there for that lol

Im from the middle east. Stay the fuck away. Dont even go to visit. Any country there. Doesnt matter how nice it looks.

Nah. Israel is home. Amen.

Yeah yeah, try not to get lynched after the next terror attack buddy.

@Judge_Judah I can't speak for anybody else but where I'm from the Federal Capital Territory with Abuja being the major city is the most ideal environment to live in Nigeria (amenities, security and quality of life).

A whole lot of foreign expatriates live and work there. If your money good you'll be fine without worries.. .

When you planning to finally make that move anyway?

pics are alot different than experiencing it first hand.

i would just say find who you are and what you like. there is always somewhere and something for everyone

 

[Swiffness!]

The mental voyage is more difficult than the physical though. Many are unwilling to do without all that they know. Are you willing to do without access to Smartphones, or even electricity? You may need to study survivalist tactics like you'll see in "The Walking Dead.

I find it sad when niggas don't realize how "americanized" they really are. Eating fast food while watching NFL talmbout goin back to Africa lol foh.

If i had to leave tho.......ok.......Thailand. For reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with tan Asian hoes.

Appreciate the participation brother.

I dont have a definite date as of yet. Shooting for some time in the next three years, if it be the will of TMH. But something tells me I may not have that much time left. We've been saving money, but we are not ready yet. Just doing research.

2 options. Either you purchase land or an already built property depending on what you have in mind as regards architectural designs and planning

One unit of the US dollar is equivalent to 230-250 units of Nigerian currency so with say between 250k - 300k dollars you good

 

[bless the child]

Man, it's getting crazier and crazier here. It's time to go. I see something everyday that tells me it's time to go. It tough because the reach of these devil is pretty long. It's hard to truly escape this place.

second.. thast why niggas are they way they are an people dont respect us when we do travel.

Explain what you mean here in a little more detail....

people all over think black americans are dumb and only travel for the military or to an island to party and get drunk or you must be famous or married to a citizen of the country you are going to..

This is a stereotype for Us Americans in general, not black americans

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

.

living here actually made me hate some black people in america ...because i see the power we have in america but we wont utilize it

This.whole "niggas are.stupid" shit is getting really old to me...pmaybe because im getting older myself

Weve.ALLOWED our masses to live in Brain drained vacuums then send them to. Schools that are substandard on.an international level based on white standards...needless to say we arent white so it aint tailored for our growth, and are receiving a lesser education than whites here themselves...we KNOW this...we've ACCEPTED this...then turn our nose up.at each other n call each other stupid? It doesnt make any sense...were looking.at.a very basic equation and for whatever reason expecting it to add up differently

Our black people know and don't know what we are and arent teaching them...

PERIOD...save boogie negro talk

And ive been.around myself As well...miss that "black Americans" perception jazz 2 steps talking. Again americans have a negative aura over them period...not "black.americans" he carry himself like he caught too many noogies n wedgies n school so he overemphasizes who dished em out to em

Baring a few places, this "bad perception" is tamer abroad than it is here so dont let that "black.american abroad" internet bullshit scare you...this aint the first website i seen that

if u can socilize and build here u can do it anywhere

Speak to other blacks who travel....one for instance who doesnt come of socially awkward or bittet on websites

Hes speaking for himself on that one

Ive.been.all over.europe some arabic n African.countries

Only real heat i got was being presumbed to be an illgeal imimmigrant which is big in europe right now ...the "respect" factor is much worse at "home" ....in regards to the locations ive been to at least

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

Powerful statement.

Sometimes you have to leave home just to appreciate it.

Sometimes u have to leave home to get a greater understanding of its issues as well. Community, family, identity...america inhibits that greatly...im sure you've seen that more intact abroad than you do here...all of which are as important for a peoples well being as.anything else

Are we prepping our future generation.for a broader.understanding of self n others? If not who should? White ppl?

nigga what?

you don't know what the fukk you talking about.

ok...so YOU don't get heat. how you gonna tell me I don't?

I work with these people at high levels and I know what I see. I live here so I know what I see and hear.

if you think I'm bougie, bitter or whatever...an don't see anything else...too bad. again you don't know what your talking about.

I'll leave this example. a person visits a school a few times a year a sees some bad things but nothing really upsetting. then another person is there every two weeks ...they will see an experience more. how you gonna tell the person who's there more it aint like that?

again ...your missing the point. you really quick to judge without understand bruh.

I always encourage my people to travel. so they can become global citizens and be able to compete on a global scale. unlike what some think....this is a game of meters... not microns.

getting out an knowing how to navigate the world and different cultures will only strengthen you as a person. and that in turn should help you help others.

but like I said.

people think black Americans are stupid. I'm not calling us stupid, I'm relaying how people see us. the world thinks Americans in general are uncultured, loud. arrogant and stupid(as tra rlers,). but when it comes to corporate...white Americans are looked at as superior and black Americans as stupid, untrustworthy and incapable.

so yea talk to other black Americans who travel. where they travel too? what was the purpose? how long was they there? alot of the type of interaction makes a big difference how you see things.

so yes. when I come back to the states an keep hearing about niggas who don't wanna do shit, want a handout or who's afraid of dumb shit or only want to do ",real" nigga shit. shit frustrates the hell outta me. fukk them clubs, fukk the block, fukk buying new jordans and not wanting more outta life except staying within 20 square blocks and being OK with what people give you instead of what your capable of taking or creating.

so miss me with that he trynna scare niggas shit. I'm always trynna build, share and support after I learn from them to help us back home.

like I said....nice place to visit... but living here is totally different.

I'm not so sure i agree with everything you wrote but there's some truth nonetheless. Your experiences might be different from anothers' experience. Some of these misconceptions are due to their portrayal in media and nothing more. A hood nigga is likely to act hood in Bern, Lausanne or Basel whereas a more level headed nigga may act straight in the streets of Tallin, Budapest or Stockholm.

PS: African Americans have more power to change the outlook of Blacks all over the world than they realize, i think it's part of the reason blacks outside America despise American blacks to an extent as harsh as it may seem. Too much opportunity for us to be lagging

exactly....

I'm in right outside of basel.

people here can't get apartments because of there skin color. no matter if you rich or not. but in America you have rights an money can speak.

something that simple stands out to me.

My 2 cents to the thread. I currently live and study in the US. Dual US and Nigerian citizen. Lived in Abuja and Lagos Nigeria for long periods of time. Also traveled to UK, Switzerland and other western countries, as well as Thailand, Malaysia, Dubai etc.

Long story short, the US is still the best place for a US born African American. If you are foreign born like myself, then it can be either the states or your home country (depending on preferences). I like America for the liberties and development, but prefer Nigeria for the community and general "home" feeling. Like someone mentioned earlier, if you live in Abuja or Lagos and have your money up, then you'll really appreciate the country. That said, I really think people should try and travel outside of Western Civilization for sometime and gain insight on their current lives. The easiest way to critique your current living situation is to look at it from a distance.

As far as European countries, they are nice and all to live and work in for a time period, but I couldn't really see one laying down roots there (aside from the UK, but they are getting overcrowded). I've met many African Americans that have gone to Nigeria or Ghana and never came back. Ghana is preferable as its a little easier to adjust for a foreigner. Nigeria can be very hectic to people coming from the West.

I'll sign off with this

I met a man from NC A&T in Abuja, Nigeria, he told me this:

"In Nigeria I'm not a black man, I'm simply a man"

He's been in Nigeria for the past 7 years with no intentions of moving back to the states permanently.

Do your research, test the waters and see what's best for you. I'll still say the USA, just because of the community of other African Americans and the liberties generally enjoyed here.
