Really Fucking Tired Of How White People Constantly Say Shit Like "i Was A Teenager When I Made That!"

really fucking tired of how white people constantly say shit like "i was a teenager when i made that!" or "i was younger when i said that" about racism as if 17 year olds are somehow too dumb to understand that saying certain words or degrading entire races of people is bad

instead of saying "i had racist views i never bothered to question, but have now addressed those flaws and changed them due to increased knowledge" they hide behind shit like "i was too young to understand the full significance" or "i was childish and immature" like. no. you weren't childish. you were racist.

sometimes we say and do stupid things, especially as children, but racism is racism. and saying "i was younger" is shifting blame, and I'm fucking tired of it.
