Did I inspire a rant you posted a few weeks ago? Because if I did, I am so, so sorry. I honestly didn't mean to come across the way I did. It was stupid on my part, and I'm really, really sorry.

You did inspire some of it. There were some other posts based on news from some prominent political figures that racism in the US was in the past--that we are living in a post-racist world and also some rather violent verbal attacks on black Congressmen who supported the healthcare bill during it's passing that also enraged me. Also, I'm in a class that has a pretty enraging professor who is a blatant and unapologetic racist. Between all of that, I got a little hot under the collar.

All that being said, you weren't the sole reason I posted and as mad as I was, I wasn't particularly mad at you or I would have PMed you personally. The world is constantly making me angry; which, really, should be expected since I am a minority, a college student with loads of loans, a queer and generally, pretty much a flaming liberal. So, please don't feel personally attacked.

Looking back, that post was a bit passive aggressive on my part but there I was in no way trying to "send you a message" or something. LJ is for expanding our world without actually leaving our rooms. It's the beauty of the internet but we are never done learning. We will never be perfect or as tolerant and accepting as we should be. It's a circumstance of living in our current world.

I never felt personally attacked; I simply wanted to apologize for the fact that I did use language that is rife with connotations that I can hardly even begin to understand.

My own post was out of an epiphany of my own moral beliefs and the clear acceptance I was attempting to portray a very close friend who had pretty much only come out to me. It was also venting frustrations about my mother and her inability to see beyond skin tone.

LJ is a lovely tool for expressing our opinions, somewhat anonymously, but I never want to truly encroach on another person. I'm rather timid like that.

And Christ, someone needs to slap your professor. Wait, let me. I ca be violent when I want to. :)
