I was born in Canada but have lived in the US for 6 years (3 years in Cali, 3 years in New York).
I would say America is much more segregated. In Canada, I was aware of my race (being black) but I don't feel like it really prevented me from doing anything, nor did I feel like I was really treated differently because I was black. I instead identified myself as being Canadian.
That is the total opposite of how I feel living in the US. I am hyper aware of my race now. Race is a big deal down here. It seems like for the most part everybody wants to stick with their own race. I'm not American, I'm African-American.
I live in NYC right now. It's supposed to be one of the most diverse cities, one of the most accepting cities. If you go to certain neighborhoods in Manhattan, you literally see dudes holding hands and kissing. Yet, as a black man I feel like an outsider. I feel less accepted than a ? man in this city. -

Bahamas,Trini&Tabago,St.Thomas....I would much rather live in the islands if i had a choice. -
America is far from perfect, but I still find it hard to believe that it would be better somewhere else. Overall, I got mixed feelings

Toronto is more or less like the US, but with more black immigrants, more obliviousness (to racism) and more obsequious behavior (? is disgusting). Almost everywhere else in the country is better than the US, but there is anti-black racism everywhere. -
LOL @ arguing and typing up texts with a blantant troll

Whoa this ? talking he is East African and his ancestors arrived on a slave ship lmao. DNA wise we are West Africans. Eb1a is the common haplogroup for black males which is strictly an West African haplogroup but West Africans have ventured into the east example ramses.

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture fills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our father's ? to, Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great ? , our King! -

But b4 my "country" I love myself, my fam and ?
That whole die for your country ? is for the birds that feed into political ? who tell u who your enemy is today
Then finding out next week they aren't the enemy
I've never been cool with the idea of going to war for my country when half the time u really dont know the true reason y u r fighting until its too late and u already have killed an innocent group
War is just old men wit power sending young men to die for THEIR cause
All in all its pretty good compared to the rest of the world
I almost cosigned or goated you but little do you know there are countries with more rights and freedoms than this country. -

Yeah, I'm living here right now. A lot of black people think things are better than what they are, they believe the hype and don't see the obvious. In some ways it is actually worse than the US. -
YES!
Love the opportunity.
Ain't too many places in the world where you can fail, lose everything and still bounce back
? bless AMERICA -
Relative to what? Love is a funny word, because I dont love the preferential treatment of whites, but I dont hate being able to sit on my ass all day and smoke trees if I see fit
I guess I love the freedom of choice but I sure as hell would never fight for "america" as a whole, so I guess not really

I love it and hate it at the same damn time
On one hand I love it cause this is home, this is all I know, the 700 block and im a 100% Florida boy
But on the other hand when you look at American history and see why this is my home it makes you hate this country and the crackas who made it, even their great great great great great grandkids -
If I had the means, I'd move to south Africa fasssst. Using tax money next year to go to Brazil. Ima see about possibly moving there. International calls gonna be a ? .
