also reminder that you're not obligated to accept apologies from racists and you're not obligated to forgive racists. you're not obligated to say that you understand and that it's okay, and you shouldn't feel guilty for not forgiving racists

#given previous experience with 'apologizing' i don't think this will necessarily be relevant #but just want to assure fellow poc #i know i would forgive racists when they didn't deserve it simply bc i felt bad about not doing it #and its fucked up #especially if you can tell they've learned nothing #im talking again
