First, a note about this blog page:
The main event on the last brochure page, "Contentment Plantation in Dedham," was what made me think of giving each brochure page other than the two covers its own blog page.
Some of the worst things about my being abused by the President and by others in the big harasser conglomerate are the accusations of racisim made against me by that conglomerate, and the assumptions made about me by others, perhaps by some of the strangers who abuse me in person, in public, that my being abused is a correct retribution for my being racist.
I am not racist. I have worked at being much less racist than the average white American; once I was able to get some distance from the pain of having been marginalized because of having been in the hospital, once I realized how unfair and irrational that marginalization was, I used insights from my experiences as someone who had been hospitalized and treated as inferior and "mentally ill" to begin to understand some of what black Americans and other non-whites have gone through in the United States and in other places throughout the world.
I don't pretend to be very familiar with black American culture. I have never pretended to know more about the experiences of any group of people than I do or have been able to observe. However, racism perpetuated by me has had no place in this situation; I've been deceitfully accused of it so that the President and others can make people think that I deserve the bullying.
