Can A White Person Experience Racism?

D called again. He's having a hard time fitting in. As I previously mentioned, he feels like he's being bullied. There is a group of boys that is instigating him and calling him things like "cracker" and "white boy". D said "they are racist". I asked him if anyone was making them stop calling him those names and he said no. He also mentioned that he knows that if he were to say racist things, he'd suffer consequences. I just reminded him that even though they are using hurtful words towards him, he is better than that and he is NOT to stoop to that level.

On a positive note, his withdrawal symptoms are less prevalent. He says the shaking has stopped and he's not nauseated all the time. Hopefully the Dr will take him off the last med this week and he'll be drug free!

I'm overwhelmed by the support our family is receiving. Thank you for your words of inspiration, your relatable stories, and your prayers. WE are going to get through this. Together.
