Does anyone know safe cities/states for women of color? I want to leave these small southern cities.

I was raised in Pinedale Wyoming. I was the only black girl in the whole school in the 2000s. Then my mother moved me to NC which is in the south. Living in these small racist cities is really affecting me mentally. I can’t make friends, everyone acts nasty towards me. White people keep trying to drive my car off the road. They see me as threat. I don’t have a big family as I don’t know my dads side and my mothers side died off when I was a teenager. My mother is retired with her disabled husband so she stays in this racist town but they never really have to leave their place except for food. I just feel like there’s no where safe for black women. Our men at times are a danger to us, and then a lot of yt people are evil to us. I have a bad feeling something is going to happen to me. I also feel like I’m being targeted because everytime I’m driving people flash my car, and I was told to flash them back. Then I decided I’m not going to do that because I already stick out. The other day when I leaving crumble cookie these two young white women blocked me in when I was trying to leave. I honestly just get the vibe they don’t like seeing black women that are pretty or have nicer cars than them. Something about them seeing a black woman drive a Jeep really pisses them off. I didn’t know it was that bad down here cause I just left VA as I was leaving a abusive marriage. This is really draining and I don’t know who to go too. I have to make a living and take care of myself. I can’t let these people intimidate me. I grew up to love everyone and please don’t think I’m making this up this is my life and it happens everyday. I’m shocked this is happening to me in 2023 but this is what happens in the real work in the South. Esp when your out numbered.

No, they are just cowards that get a rise out of scaring people.
You might try the South West, like Arizona or New Mexico. The Midwest is ok, here in K.C. Mo. anyway, but the racism is still present, but not to the degree you described, just a bunch rich folks, with no manners or class. Florida seems nice, ut they might just be nice to tourists.

@calicuz You should probably read her other posts. She is a victim in every situation. Because of according to her fancy jeep. And being pretty. And black.

I have met narcissists with similar world image. They think everyone is jealous and threatened by their money and beauty. Then they make up scenarios in their head where they are always the target.

While objectively. They never were. They were just in normal situations where normal things that happens to all people also happened to them.

At a parking lot. Sometimes it gets messy and you can't drive before another car has moved. She sees that as harassment.

In a store where the workers tail random people and lock in their groceries to prevent theft of she thinks they only tail her.

When a car blink when going from full light to half light, she thinks it's personal attacks.

These posts will keep coming where the world is against her and is jealous of her.
