[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This actually happened to DH a few years ago. A homeless man who was visibly impaired (drugs/alcohol and/or severe mental health issues) yelled across the street “you f**king n*****”. It was really rattling for him, too. I think he was surprised at how shaken he was by the encounter given that this man was clearly not of sound mind. I think he also felt uncomfortable or somehow embarrassed talking about the experience afterward.

Anyway, just sharing this to say I’m sorry this man spewed hate at you and I’m sorry people write it off because it’s “just a crazy guy” and I’m sorry victims of this end up the ones feeling ashamed. [/quote]

I think the point here is that you can reframe the experience. Either you’re called spic (me) or a variation of whore (any woman) or anything else and of course you’re going to be momentarily rattled. But you can choose how long you carry it and how you frame it.

I would suggest that a mentally ill homeless dude doesn’t have any say or hold over OP or who she is.[/quote]
