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.

Oregon and Washington are safe states. Pretty accepting of anyone near the cities.

@Livingwell She isn't experiencing racism. Check her posts she is a diva who thinks the world is jealous at her beauty and money and fancy car and every normal daily situation is her being a victim lol.

@Livingwell She is lieing and trying to gaslight me. This is another crazy person on the internet trying to gaslight me. I even have high blood pressure because of the levels of stress that I have encountered. I can’t make up any of the real things that are happening in my life. Why would I make up people trying to run me off the road, why would I make up those girls purposely trying to block me in. I was in the car with a yt woman who witnessed two white men yell that they hatr black eomen into a mega phone at us. She can’t believe what’s happening to me because she will never be black or live her life as a black woman. This is how most white women think I’m bragging when I talk about the horrible attention I recieve. In their eyes they are mad I get any attention good or bad. Even my pain angers them.
