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.

This is a f*cking lie. I live in the South and nobody is trying to drive black people off the road.

@CactusJackManson You don’t live in the parts I live in in smaller cities and towns in the south, there are still sundown towns. These are places where they want you to know an feel you are not welcomed. In more diverse parts of the South it may be different. If you had to live what I live through you would have a break down. The sad part is I have to save enough money and continue to work through this so that I can move out this town. Respectfully I still love the South and I thought this place was so beautiful, this is the only bad thing about it.

@Lexiitexii I live in the boonies. You are lying, as other posters below have pointed out about your other posts.

@CactusJackManson Think what you want. How can I make up being ran off the road, two white boys yelling at me that they hatr black women with a mega phone with a witness in my car. How can I make up being blocked off from moving my car purposefully. I can’t make up a woman following me around the store like a toddler. That is nuts.

@CactusJackManson The best part is my white friend was with me she is the witness. She literally use to ride with me everyday.

@Lexiitexii If this were really happening, it would be all over the news, Al Sharpton would be ranting and raving about it and the usual suspects would be burning their own cities. Try to be a member in good standing on SW and stop shitposting.

CactusJackManson · 46-50, M

@Lexiitexii Actually, you can make that up. And you have.

Lexiitexii · 31-35, F

@CactusJackManson The only reason this isn’t making the news is because I haven’t posted this publicly or put my self out there to the media. I could contact the news and the NAACP, and the Civil Rights department And maybe I will. Thanks for th idea. No one believes this is happening still is because people are delusional and live in a fake world where they think everyone is nicer and good and the truth is people are not nice and good.

@Lexiitexii I suggest you move to the south side of Chicago. There is no crime there.

Lexiitexii · 31-35, F

@CactusJackManson Did you not see me post that I have to deal with crime from my blk side too and racism from the other. I know for a fact that’s a lie and your suggesting that place to be funny. So your proving my point there’s barely anywhere safe for black women. Crime in the bigger cities and states and racism in the smaller towns and cities in the south thanks.

CactusJackManson · 46-50, M

@Lexiitexii You just disproved your main point-- that crime against black women is because of white racism.

@CactusJackManson Live in the south as well, even further south. Ain't nobody trying to drive anyone off the road.

@thenormalkindofcrazy so I’m making up that I get yelled at and told to gtfo the way monkey ? I got called a monkey last night. These events are happening to me daily. Y’all are just in denial. Y’all think just because you can sleep with different races and all y’all yt daughters are with Blk men that racism is dead it’s not it’s alive and well.
