I just don't know that I'm concluding that she must BE a racist, when I can understand a woman panicking under the totality of the circumstances. A man saying to you that 'he's going to do what he wants and you're not going to like it' is pretty friggin scary to a woman. Someone breaking out food from their pocket and trying to lure your dog right after? Also pretty scary for a woman.
And 'people around' ... in New York City? That doesn't mean much.
Has anyone else stepped up to a microphone and said they know her, and she acts like a racist otherwise? Any nasty social media posts come to light? I have not heard of either, but if you know different, please enlighten me.
Not telling you how to feel SS, I get where you're coming from.
If you told me the exact same thing happened to you, and it was a white man, and he'd said those words and tried to lure your dog? I'd cut you a TON of slack WRT how you reacted.
I'll leave it at that.
