Jill Scott's time here in the states might be coming to an end soon. She recently appeased on Jemele Hill's podcast and shared her concerns about raising her son in the US. The racial climate has caused her to consider raising her son in a different country.

"It's terrifying," Jill Scott said. "Because it doesn't matter if you have, or you don't. All that matters is that you're Brown. That's it."

She opened up about her fears about her 12-year-old son one day being out on the road alone.

"Just to know that he'll be on the road," she continued. "You know? Just to know that he'll be away from people who love him in a world that will decide whether he's guilty of something because he's Brown. That's terrifying."

Jill shared that she and her family have tossed the idea around about packing up and heading out of the country if things don't work out where she currently live in Nashville, TN.

"There's certain things that you don't have to deal with," Jill Scott expressed. "There's other things that you have to deal with, but there's certain things that you DON'T have to deal with in other countries. Specific other countries."

Jill already has one place in mind.

"We like Holland," she said. "They chillin'. They have great health care, they ride their bikes everywhere. They speak more than Dutch. Like several different languages... That's dope! It's below sea level so the food is very well hydrated. The education is dope, the healthcare is dope. There's very few confines on your personality, you know? If you wanna go get some a**, if you wanna buy some a** ain't nobody trippin' on you. Not that that's what I wanna do, but I like the idea of people being able to be free, as long as they're not harming anybody."
