Huge moment of happiness today. Talked to my project about moving to Toronto, explained that as a minority I don't feel safe in the US. The cost for me to fly in every week is actually cheaper.

He will be the greatest president we've ever had! He's done more as a president elect as barack did in 8 years in office. He will make America great again and safe again. You should stick around and not run away.

Hey, I've got an idea... everyone dumping on this person for their decision to move, eat a bag of male genitalia. The whole point of America is that everyone gets to feel the way they want as long as it doesn't harm another person. I think Trump is an asshat, so I'm staying in America to cast every vote I can against him. OP thinks Trump might actually endanger their life, so he's moving. You think Trump is great, so you stay to vote for him and his policies. Why can't that just be the end of it. If you want to shit all over another person because of their opinion, I hear Afghanistan is wonderful this time of year.

If you don't feel safe here you probably shouldn't fly in every week....you definitely should just stay in Canada

Trump's victory makes me very nervous. I fully believe that he plans to implement many of the things he spoke about during the campaign. I understand that people have differing political views, but I don't feel safe at all with him in the White House. I also feel that the US will be targeted with attacks more often.

Shout out to the commenters paternalistically advising @OP on how he should feel dealing with experiences they will never deal with and demanding that he justify his discomfort. As a fellow professional, why not ask him more about his experiences? He's clearly not a "thug" since he works at ACN. But I forgot, It's not like any of you could learn anything or bear to listen. The tone deafness and arrogance is laughable.

People are calling him a pussy and other names, yet thy the one upset over a stranger deciding to move. It's ironically fragile, no?

@OP - enjoy yourself man. Stay warm. I hear the weed is good up there too lol.

The fact that people can't understand the difference between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants is unbelievable. Trump, and those who voted for him, are against illegal immigrants because they are law breakers. It's f-ing black and white. OP you said "I fully believe that he plans to implement many of the things he spoke about during the campaign" and cite that as the cause of your fear. Please tell us what specific thing he said he'd do that would scare you into fleeing the US. Also please tell us how EY2 was wrong. The facts about AA community during the last 8 years is factual.

like

Op you are being absolutely delusional.... agree with the poster who said you should just stay in Canada

like

You answered why you do not support trump, but I don't see how you answered why trump makes you scared for your life as an AA enough to move. In fact, moving to a foreign country and having to travel would exacerbate some of your fears and NOT be in your best interest if you were right. Under 8yrs of Obama, AA poverty rose, crime rose, and unemployment rose. If anything, Bill Clinton was to blame for the largest increase in minority incarceration and likely would have been furthered by Hillary who talked of super predators needing to be brought to heal. Are you fearful you will be arrested based on how trump wants to police minorities? If anything, it is whites that should be fearful over some of the recent racial hatred and black on white crime due to the racial polarization and BLM violence.
