To start u have to know I still believe what I posted about Kay and Antonrayne. Not because it justifies anything. But because it most likely decides who follows and unfollows.
If anything, that is the thing I cannot change that might be wrong or but is not provable and I shouldn't talk with the confidence that it is. It's an unshakable belief that no one can easily disprove.but I digress because I can prove who I am. I am aware that is a privilege. I'd like start there.
I understand it is alienating to anyone who fears they might be the next bearer of distrust.
I understand the specific shared identity demographics in question, namely Turkish people, will distrust me more.
I understand most of the black people that follow me probably disagree with the necessity of this post. And I understand that this is not the post where I condemn the behavior of anyone I've offended.
So this is complicated for me because I want to apologize for accusations of racefaking and with the understanding that this is going decide many changes to the space even situationally but also beyond.
Because I don't think it's my place to decide what cannot be proven and it calls information I hope to share veritably into distrust.
So all of those posts will be gone. I will continue loudly calling out racism wherever present irregardless of any privilege assumed to be had by me as a black American. You are labeling me an American. I am foreign to most of my peers for being vehemently pro black
I believe that to be black is to be part of a historically verifiable global diaspora and I will not back down from any claims of class betrayal within that forced truth. My people did not create nor enforce race
I deeply apologize for those who feel distressed by my distress and thus distressful actions.
I promise to speak with more clarity in this regard going forward.
