It May Be Time To Leave the US, Brehs…

You'd probably feel more welcome in Nigeria

Doubt you are in a hurry to visit there though

You know @The Nigerian wants nothing to with Nigeria or any parts of Africa

He'd kill himself if he was surrounded by black people 24x7

 

[The Nigerian]

I don't think that's about wanting to live around white people.
It's more about not walking away given the sacrifices your people have made.

If you have something invested, it's very difficult to walk away.

I'm a product of the diaspora. I have no land of my own.

fukk Canada i was 1st called a ****** by a drive by cracker in good ole Canada while riding my bicycle when i was 18. Yea its parts where u can leave your door open @ night but those cacs are just as racist down here in the states if not more.

This happened in toronto too shot 1st then tazed afterwards .......

In pre-school some kids used to tease me about how my palms were different color from my hands.

I was first called a monkey/gorilla in kindergarten.

The first time I was really called a n!gger was in 6th grade.

It was a kid named Adam Barlow. I'll never forget his face when he said it. I remember him yelling that word to me in the hall way outside of the band area.

I went into the instrument storage area and cried alone.

You're lucky it took 18 years for that to happen.

Yet you choose to be a mod on an American-owned site centered around American culture using American slang to comment on American sports and American music

And always posting American statistics too

@The Nigerian Glad you're havin fun yo!


How's loud tho?

I'm seriously considering moving to Toronto in the next couple years I'm unhappy in Jew York

It's funny, I'm actually planning to move to NYC next year

NYC is more fun. Toronto don't got shyt on NYC.

The people, the vibe, 24 hour subway, the everything

 

[Rekkapryde]

I'm in Canada at the moment. Toronto to be exact.

It's different here. The cops don't feel like an occupying force. The people are going out of their way to be polite and friendly. The Black people here don't seem to be as publicly hated as we are in the States. It's really strange.

I'm getting the feeling that it's time for us to leave.

I'm getting the feeling that if we stay too long they're not going to let us leave.

The more I think about what is clearly going on the more inevitable the conclusion seems to be.

I love T-Dot. Vibe in the surrounding area is just so different. Just wish it wasn't so expensive to live there.

I will be moving to Canada soon as Drake has made it seem very desirable

Trust me as someone who works in the city, I'd love to live in it but it's way too expensive for a shoebox sized condo tbh.
I'd be fine with living on the subway line tho

What's rent out here like?

I suppose I would do a studio or a 1bd to start.

Depends where you wanna go. I can help you out if you're serious. I used to work with a real estate agent focused on Downtown Toronto/GTA condos.

More in the core? 1400+ (for studio/1br and these are small ass lots) for example

Amerikkka is a violent cesspool of dung.

I'll stay with my human rights code and human rights tribunal, charter. Free healthcare, affordable post secondary institutions, multiculturalism, low crime

While just being a hour drive from the cesspool of the states whenever I need to pick up a different variant of corn pops

free healthcare??? ain't ya'll getting taxed at like 50% you paying for that healthcare one way or another. I'd rather my employer pay 80% of my healthcare premiums.

ya'll don't even have affordable housing, high fuel cost, and your monopoly-looking money ain't worth jack shyt compared to a real dollar. don't act like it's a utopia up there.

Too long?
It has been almost 400 years.
We've already had the worst thrown at us and survived. We can't get complacent, caught up in middle class consumerism, fooled by post racial fantasies of course but we've come this far and bailing (if it were even possible en masse) seems like punking out at this point.

There are more black folk in the US than there are people in Canada.
@ 42mil vs 36mil

Why don't you go back to your homeland in Nigeria and help build it, instead of looking for some mythical land where you'd be treated better.
