5 Places Black People Can Move If Trump Becomes President

http://thegrio.com/2016/03/02/5-places-black-people-can-move-if-donald-trump-wins-the-presidency/

Just admit it. You know you’ve thought about it. As much as you love America (or thought you didn’t), Donald Trump winning the presidency would be a deal-breaker.

You’ve checked your Facebook newsfeed daily hoping THIS would be the day it ended.

But nope.

You were more wrong than Chris Rock bringing out Stacey Dash and little Asian children at the Oscars (not cool). More wrong than Steve Harvey announcing the “winner” of Miss USA. More wrong than Future talking about Ciara on Twitter (dirty laundry< dirty Sprite).

Super Tuesday’s election results only confirmed that our country is racing towards the nightmare of President Trump. He isn’t going anywhere.


Ghana is first on the list!

It sounded charming.

But on a much more serious note, one of my friends was signing up for an Adult Ed class and chatted up an AA man in the same line. He volunteered the information that he, his wife, and their kids were all updating their passports in case of a Trump win.

My friend, btw, is over 70 and white. She's thinking about Costa Rica.

We're white, he has 3 years left for his teacher's retirement and youngest kid is in college. Lots to consider but doesn't even come close to what our friends and family of color have to consider.

And places I can live - the article is kind of funny . . .

But it's also kind of something to consider.

probably unrelated for the most part.

I was watching a beauty/slice of life videoblog of a Ghanian girl. In one episode she was talking about being half Ghanian and half Nigerian, having never step foot in Nigeria and her Nigerian mom thought it was time. OMG, she threw a hissy fit because of a popular song in Ghana that she sang a bit of. I just about fell over laughing. Eventually she went and fell in love with mom side of the family.

Found the song. I guess it shows each are proud of their country, all in good fun though.

Good beat, I give it a 85, not 100 because it's making fun of me

Of course, there's a Thank God We're not Ghanians, too, that was also a hit
