@pinkfilesss my initial post was abt how i dont agree with the idea that racists can't change, ur response was abt how their actions dont go away with time right? i agree with that too thats why i said my post was never abt whether they should be forgiven but js abt whether change is possible
@dn9hvn when you say "not be a former racist" do you mean like they've never been that way or currently still are? im js kinda confused on that also im engaging with them bc im aware they have the capacity to change which is what makes it worth engaging with them to me
@pinkfilesss the argument isnt about excusing them its abt whether change is even possible and i think it is because otherwise ur just taking accountability away from them, i dont think they should just be forgiven and people forget what they did thats not what i said, also im not white
@dn9hvn no i just think its dumb to believe that people are incapable of change mainly because it takes accountability away from racists, being hateful is a choice so the idea theyll just always be that way doesnt hold them accountable for being awful people
