What does an ACTUAL apology for antiblackness consist of, to you?
it needs to be actually take the situation seriously and not trying to be funny when addressing antiblackness
It has to be directed towards black , can't be saying"the ppl offended by-" or POC when it's Abt antiblack rascim especifically
Actually listen to the ppl calling you ou
Accept and acknowledge that u were antiblacks
actually talk Abt the situation and why and how it was antiblacks,
U are in the internet u have access to information don't hide behind your own ignorance and face the guilt
Don't victimizw urself talking Abt ur intentions or how u "didn't mean it" . It doesn't matter bc it doesn't make it less racist or harmful.
It doesn't matter how old it was bc it's the internet everything u do is there forever and it still was racist and it hurt black ppl them and it hurts black ppl now and even if it wasn't online spreading antiblacks shit is always a bad thing
If context is really that important be clear that if doesn't make it less racist or less bad
If there's a black person involved in the situation address them directly and apologize to them too privately and publicly if necessary
Don't use the fact that there might be black ppl defending you too, just bc some don't care doesn't mean other black ppl that sealed with ur shit don't deserve this apology
Don't try to paint urself as a victim. Just because some dipshits might be harassing doesn't mean ur antiblackness will suddenly go away.
Do not try to paint black ppl rightfully calling something out as bully harassers or whatever
Don't enable any racist fuck from joining the conversation trying to defend you and as always treat the situation with the severity it deserves
Be ok with black ppl disliking you distrusting etc bc of your actions specialty this goes is double if there's and history of past antiblackness from you
If this is not the first time ur having to address your antiblacks behavior u REALLY need to actually stop to think and unlearn shit bc 1 time might have been ignorance or a mistake at 3 or more you racist and antiblack and probably dangerous and horrible in general
Start being a actually ally to black ppl , and don't actually let any instances of antiblackness happen bc of you or the ppl in your circles
But either way 90% of the time it's not an actual apology or an apology that isn't for nonblacks to pat themselves in the back and stop feeling bad. So I make my own conclusions based on the situation but even when there's apologies I do accept most of the time I still carry the distrust and disappointed towards them
