Assume you have two options:
1) To make $300,000 per year in the United States until retirement in a predominantly white town/city.
or
2) Make an amount considered as middle/upper-middle class in a developing, predominantly black country (Jamaica, Ghana, Nigeria, etc.). You live a comfortable existence and own a home. Income is considerably less. but so is cost of living.
Does the higher income offset the effect on the psyche of being a racial minority in a country as racist as America or nah?
Would your quality of life be better in an all black country (since you have bread) than America?
Which you choosing?
For me it's option 1 for a couple of reasons. I'm African American, so adapting to another persons country is something I'm not interested in doing. I would miss my own African American culture ( Soul food, Hip hop, dancing, sports, etc).
Secondly Africans tend to be really tribal. You don't see a lot of Africans willing to date African Americans, unless they have a lot of money. Then I need to ask myself " If I didn't have money would she still want me"? If the answer is no, then screw it. That's in America to; but at least culturally speaking I could meet a women ( see earlier paragraph).
Thirdly, you would always be a target in those countries. I think somebody said they" could afford security". In America I wouldn't have to worry to much about that, in comparison to living in certain African/ Carribean countries. It's just whatever.
But finally I would just miss America ( the black part). I love playing spades with the fam. I love Sunday dinners ( something special about this), I love listening to American rap ( Biggie, Nas, Jay, big L). I love my African American history. Making it from Slavery to the White House, Martin Luther King Jr., Harlem Renaissance, rap era, American TV, Mohammed Ali, Malcom X. I don't really want to separate myself from this. And to be honest if you move, you would have to adapt and change. I know I'm about to sound ignorant; but I love my negus here.
Ultimate goal, would to be making the money; and living in wealthy black neighborhood; " Prince George County" or " Rockland County NY"
would rather be homeless in the islands with my people as opposed to gamefully employed in these now stolen and infested caclands
