And the people of color you leave behind. You don't want to save them from what's coming when you resign control of your country to the racist idiots that want them dead?
History never speaks kindly of the people who turned a blind eye to atrocities for a reason. Those people could have helped, and they chose not to. They let others suffer and die because it was more convenient than doing the right thing.
There is no chance to save this. Help everybody who wants to leave as much as it's possible for you and let every idiot who wants to stay to die. Nobody can force you to dedicate your life to an unfair fight against people and their idiotic supporters with so much more power and money than you could ever have. If everybody would act like this they would run out of people very quickly and there would be no civilians in war zones. If they don't let you leave then it's time to go to war.
