The fact that people are now purposely coming into spaces for black women on reddit just to taunt, and spew racism is very telling. I’m glad I live in Austin where I don’t experience that though. It almost makes me not want to leave anymore, but I still have the desire to move just to the outskirts. To the ones that are awesome here in Austin, and have treated me like a woman first BEFORE a black woman, who were nothing but respectful towards me, you’re awesome. This is going to be a wild ride, but I’m glad to at least live somewhere where I personally feel safe, as I am originally from Alabama, where I experienced some of the worst racism you can think of. When I saw that blue on that map for Austin, I literally cried. It may be expensive here, but this is the most welcomed and safe I’ve ever felt somewhere in my entire life. I love it here.
