What is it like living as a Black American overseas? Trying to find the least racist place.

Before the entire Roe v. Wade debacle, I had been considering leaving for years and making small incremental steps to leave. I'm very realistic about immigration, that I need a bachelor's and secondary language, etc.

With that in mind, I want to know Black-American's experiences in other countries.

I have considered France, Germany, and Canada. Canada, simply because it's closest. Distant relatives speak good things of Germany and Canada. However, I don't know much about France other than basic culture from the few years of French courses I've taken on and off since I was eleven.

I'm open to learning about your experiences outside of those nations as well.

I think I could realistically immigrate in about two years or maybe three because I finish my Bachelor's in a year and a half, I speak English, Kriol, Spanish, and am currently working on French. I'm working two jobs to save money to immigrate and try leaving through grad school or a work visa.

I'm also trying to piece this together. My husband and I and our five kids are planning our emigration as a transracial family. We live in Oklahoma so, like, it nowhere to go but up, right? But I know that's not quite true.

Well. Abortion is banned. Teachers can be fined for discussing race and racism. We have the highest incarceration rate of women in the country, nearly the worst education in the country, and it's the bottom of the barrel for public health.

HOWEVER, everyone is super friendly, warm and accommodating. The racism here is structural and covert, not outright.
