a woman whose anger needs to be paid attention to

263. Change the title all you want.

She does not hear from me so I shall not outreach to her. I am white and female. I feel as much as racism was a component of this election, misogyny was as well. I feel marginalized and helpless. More so, because of my health. If I protest and am arrested, that may be the end of me.

I am not racist. I am not selfish. If she is too blind to see white democratic women were fighting for her, she is the one who needs to open her ears and listen. Or, better yet, open her mind and think.

I am not selfish. I am too old to have kids any more, but I voted for others to have the right to choose. I am white, but I voted that others may be lifted up. I am ok, for now, financially, but U voted for others to perhaps have a better financial life. (Abortion is an economic issue, so that crosses over to this as well, in addition to a living wage, etc).

If she is so filled with hate, I will let her go it alone. Here is one white lady, who she does not care, who voted for her future to be brighter. When I was a teen, in Canada, I got involved with the ANC. They flew me to Quebec for a conference. I back up the talk that I say, with actions. I will not abandon others who see my friendship and know we are stronger when we have bigger numbers.

I understand her sadness and disappointment. I am sad and disappointed. But I am not attacking people who ate doing no wrong. Who maybe who do not know what to do, so they desperately turn to a bracelet. Instead of looking at their actions, maybe she should be looking at their intentions. Is it to support you or oppress you? Maybe if it is the former, don't lash out. Don't attack those who have goid intentions and want to help. We are not the racists. We do not want to deport you or keep you a second class citizen. I get that if you lash out at the other folks, they could hunt you down and hurt, rape and/or kill you, but attacking your allies is not the answer.
