I really, truly wish I could be helpful. I hope it helps to hear that I know, fully, 1000000%, that you did absolutely nothing to deserve this attack. And it is an attack. It’s not okay, & it’s most definitely not your fault. If I could I would bring you tasty treats & drinks, & commiserate by being a shoulder to cry on & a planner of imaginary retaliation meant to make you laugh (think public pantsings & other juvenile antics). Instead, I’ll just send love & peace.
Thank you so much for sharing. I see myself here in what you have written, really see myself - it means a lot to me and I'm sure to many others. Thank you for being you and showing up the way you do.
Isn’t this the whole point of white supremacy- blame the actual victims and other them at every turn?! Your brave willingness to share your own devastating experience with hyper-responsibility invites us all to look at the ways we do the same. At 75 I still ask myself what I should have could have done to avoid an outcome that I surely caused all on my own. We’re all in this together and together we fight those white clad demons that would bring us down.

So, SO relatable.
I wish this wasn't happening to you.
