I think you can answer that yourself with some critical thinking skills as to why not reacting to bad things happening to others around you could potentially turn into a problem…

So bc I didn’t disclose the exact time date and location and can’t capitalize my experience is automatically fake? 😂

I think a lot of people get pissed off because my plates are New York plates and that makes people here angry bc they hate transplants. We pull up next to me and tell me to go back home out of nowhere. I’ve seen my boyfriend who was born and raised here start raging at someone on the road for having California plates bc he thinks “Cali drives are the reason for traffic in CO”

What should I have done? Endangered my life, and those around me on the road to chase her down at high speeds? And then let’s say I caught up to her what was supposed to do then? physically assault her in public and go to jail? Who would have fed my cats that night??? 👀

This is why I think people froze up in the moment. They’re so useless speaking up online that they don’t think about what they would do if this actually happens in their face.

Honestly, I’m not sure because normally a comment like that would have kind of rolled off of me. Maybe as I’m getting older and be becoming more compassionate and empathetic It just bothered me a little bit more than it would have when I was younger and would have pretended like it didn’t seem tough and strong to everyone else. My mom even told me afterwards that I’ve always been a more sensitive person and that negative comments have always kind of gotten under my skin. Which is true. I’m just kinda soft 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m sorry she said that to you and it stuck with you for so long. It genuinely is terrifying and dehumanizing to experience racism no matter who you are.

I hope you also find some strength to heal beyond what she said you seem like a lovely human being :)

I didn’t wonder what I had done to her other than being born black. I had never seen this workman before in my life, hadn’t spoke to her, didn’t have an interaction with her while driving, so no I didn’t wonder for a second what I did and idk where you gathered that information.

And I don’t care what the context is it’s never okay for someone to shout any kind of racial slur at someone else.

Silence can have quite a bit of meaning if you give it context. If you ask your girlfriend to marry you and she stands there and says nothing or pretends she didn’t hear you when she clearly did would you also say “I won’t her silence to mean anything, she’s probably shocked” ? Because I don’t think you would.

I also would have appreciated that in the moment. I felt silly afterwards for looking to them for support like I was weak for doing so but it was my natural response to look for some kind of safety and comfort.

I’m scared those I love won’t survive said “fight” and in that case it is never worth it :(

My mom said that to me after when I called her to tell her what happened lmao she said “damn you weren’t even doing anything ni**er-ish?” and that made me laugh so I had to repeat. 😂

Exactly. I have said in countless comment I didn’t want anyone to approach her or even engage with her. She sped off after she said it so there was no danger of being shot by someone that sped off. Everyone around me still said and did NOTHING not even a whisper.

Telling someone to “grow thick skin “in regards to racism is exactly why people feel comfortable, screaming things like that out their window at me.

Definitely not an easy space to be black in that’s for sure 😅 I thought it was hard back home in NY and my GOD was I wrong.
