China
With well over one billion residents and mega cities with the economic output of countries, the Far East is open for business. Like other Asian countries, an easy way in is as an English teacher with proper certification. Otherwise, working for a multi-national firm with a presence in China and/or having a strong grasp of Mandarin helps. Another piece of advice: teaching one year as an ESL (English as a Second Language) Teacher can help prove to other Chinese employers that you can handle the culture shock and language.
Black people often find the American dream outside of America

Australia
The land down under is now
home to the sixth largest
population of US citizens outside of America. It's the country that I currently call home and is a great option especially if you have a needed skill that's recognized
by the government.
Australia could also pose the
least amount of culture
shock for an American expat as it is an English speaking
Commonwealth of
the UK.
Other perks include
access to two of the
safest airlines
globally: Qantas and Air
New Zealand. Australia also
has universal healthcare in
the form of Medicare, a
much higher minimum wage of nearly $18, and competitive salary
and wage packages for many industries.
Colombia
This former war-torn South American country is increasing in popularity for African-Americans.
Much of the drug trade from the infamous cartels is gone thanks to strong government action. One of the cities at the center of this former trade, and once considered the murder capital of the world: Medellin, is now a cultural hot-spot.
Another issue was the decades of civil war involving the FARC: the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. That group has since renounced violence, submitted much of their weaponry, and is now a recognized political party.
