as you wrote:

"white men do not promise any sort of protection, and in fact are usually our first abusers - whether verbal, physical, and/or sexual. There might be some sort of implied protection for you in certain families if you are 100% compliant from the day you are born. But the reality is that most white women find out as toddlers that any step out of line will incur their wrath.

At a political level you can see it just as clearly - Hillary Clinton was attacked just as harshly as Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris."

which perhaps was the author's point. The promise was always an illusion.
