Patience with racism, genocide, and the lies that have turned into 'The Big Lie' is admirable. I mean admirable in the recipients of the hate that the 'Big Lie(s)' have concocted for generations in this country and the lies get old sometimes for some people. Thus the truth running thru this mind.

I almost died today because I refuted someone's notion that my color means I'm stupid and old meant vulnerable. I fought back verbally and the hate of the person I was engaged with almost spilled over into violence. It is mean out here. I was prepared to do what I must to let the idiot know he was in a fight. I wanted an ear, an eye... But was helped by 3 women. The aggressor backed off. And the women were truly concerned about the old man that I am. Simple parking lot altercation when I asked why so close to me with your car? He stopped, jumped out, and started toward me. I thanked my angels of mercy, forgot about shopping, and left. He would have f***** me up. I did not give up ground though.

Yet this openness is interesting in speaking about "fantasy" and metaphor coming from a person of color...just because.
