Fear of safety for my mixed race family?!

[Kayakinggg]

I feel a lot of worry about the safety of the country for mixed race people. They are the most precious people in my life. They are my family. My son, my daughter and my husband are all mixed race. I don’t have a close relationship with any other family members and I have a few other friends but they are white so don’t really
Get it.

I know I am not overreacting as racism is clearly on the rise and rampant and the politicians are deeply corrupt in their tactics to turn us all against each other.

I feel guilty to be the only white one in the family. I feel so angry that when I choose to have children, race was not an issue in the UK 🇬🇧 I hate to see it but I feel like I’ve failed them to raise them here even though I didn’t know what the future held. I have this desire to make a plan to move abroad but logistically and financially o don’t think that will be possible.

I feel like everyone else (that I know) is safe and protected but my little precious is at threat. I can’t even speak to my own parents about it as they don’t believe reform are racist.

I feel like I’m stuck in a nightmare and it’s only going to get worse.

In my deepest darkest moments I fear my family being taken from me as their is a hate group towards mixed race people that is only growing. I’m scared of history repeating itself.

My feelings are worry, fear, anger, loneliness.

Anyone relate. ?

Racism has always been present in the uk OP from the toxeth riots to Brixton riots the killing of Mark Duggan. Even a report that claimed 'institutional racism didn't exist'. Black women are also 2x more likely to die in childbirth it used to be 5x.

It feels like you've been quite oblivious to be honest until we have got to a stage where it's really bad but racism has always existed.

There is no need to feel guilty for being white though, personally I wouldn't be taking mixed-race children or family around family but didn't think performance was racist because that can also call him to people to have their experiences denied and dismissed.

Can you afford counselling? It might help as a space for you as a family to go to discuss things.

Its tough take it easy on yourself.

What's your husband's take on all of your fears? I would have thought he'd be reassuring you.

I’m mixed as are my kids but they are white-passing. The racism has always been there but it is recent events that have emboldened the previously undercover racists to be loud and proud. I feel very cautious at the moment, particularly as the area I work in is covered in flags and have had anti immigrant protests.

Why shoud her husband reassure her. It's not his fault that SOME people are knuckle-dragging racists, is it 🙄

Presumably he has something to say about his own lived experiences and current view of where they live. I was curious as to what those are.

And obviously none of us are to blame for the presence of racists??!
