I think that is part of the tactic that keeps people silent. The turning of that energy on you and the anger that comes your way can actually be frightening. That's what this post is about. The irony that the person speaking up against racism is treated as the asshole and attacked. If you are going to raise your voice you have to be ready for that. You have to be able to weather that storm. Good for you for speaking, it is not an easy thing to do.
