I want a symbol. I am a white, 50+, female. I no longer date, because men my age assume I have the same beliefs as many people my race and age, that I am … racist, sexist, ……….. ist.
I cannot tell good guys, but I can spot the bad ones, they have SS tattoos, rebel flags on the trucks, MAGA hats, etc. But the good Men and Women do not have a symbol to make other aware of our values.
I am ashamed of people who look like me. I wonder how many people look at me and think I am part of the nasty, disgusting alt-right, nazis, KKK and white nationalists.
I want a symbol. I would be willing to have a scarlet letter prominently on my brow, to show who I am and what my values are.
I have peace signs and resistance signs on my car, my purse, my cell phone. But they are not what I need, I need something that will not be mistaken for “fad” but something that is a true statement for who I am.
I am sure others might feel like I do, and if anyone has an idea, please let me know. I am so disheartened these days, and want a way to show others who I am even from a distance.
