When I was in an abusive relationship my ex who is white would use the I'm going to call the police on me all the time and did once and even started screaming that I was attacking him even though I was outside and was screaming for help and called the cops myself.
The dispatcher was Black. She told me to have empty pockets and hands. She saved my life.
I was terrified of this man and now I'm really angry I allowed him to use a particularly vicious aspect of systemic racism to try to kill me.
7 or 8 cops showed up. I realized at any given time he could use white privilege against me and use the state to execute me because he was too weak to attempt it himself.
I'm telling you if you are in a relationship like that.. let that be the dealbreaker. Run. Do not stay or wait it out. Run like hell.
If I could go back in time I would rather have slept on couches for a year than go back to that hell my poor choices kept me bound to. Run. Abusers never change.
The worst part was the moment he was screaming bloody murder on the phone about "a strange black man attacking him" but maniacally grinning at me through the door. He was trying to kill me.
