I didn’t ignore your post. Just looked like the thread had died by the time I’d got back to it. Sorry if you took my words wrong, but the way I read her comments were that she’d had an incident and was reacting to it. And people suddenly went on the attack. If her words were inelegant, that’s not necessarily racist.
If you were a cat and you’d been in a fight, and you’d been bitten near the back or the tail, and someone later, after the fight was over, pet you on the lower back, near the tail, your instinctive respose is to bite. And in all the cats I’ve ever had, if they get into a vicious fight with a particular color cat, then later, another cat of the same color is automatically viewed with extreme suspicion. Does that mean cats are racist? Or do they follow some form of natural law to protect themselves against predators that look similar to their prior attackers? I know that I have several friends who are black, several former managers who are (as a matter of fact, the two best managers I’ve had in my entire 20+ year computer career were both black. With them, it was less their color, and more like it was just a feature like black hair, brown eyes, tall, short, etc. They were people. The color of their skin was just there.) I’ve been assaulted twice (once with the carjacking) and both times were by black people. Frankly, I don’t look at someone who is black as anything different than someone who is white or asian or hispanic. If they act like the thugs who assaulted me, whether black, white, yellow, brown, purple or green, I will look at them with the most utter disgust and contempt. Doesn’t matter who they are or what they look like. It’s how they act.
Again, sorry if you took offense at my words. Wasn’t trying to insult you. Was just frustrated that someone said they were attacked and then was accused of racism. Maybe some of her words were, but if she’s been through a traumatic experience, then maybe she should have a bit of cautious thought about people who are of different races, just for her own safety.

You don't say all blacks are violent...and NOT get called on it. It's a racist moronic statement. She never backed away from that statement.
You've apparently focused on some "event", of hers. Frankly, I HIGHLY doubt that "event" ever happened. She appears very full-of-it....
Oh, I'm not offended.....Just thought you were taking a pot shot...and ran off.
FWIW-
