I'm sorry, as a white male I know I have a lot of blind spots when it comes to privilege and internalized supremacist thinking/biases.

I'm trying to be more informed on these areas and address them when I find them in myself and call them out in others as well. I'm not looking for a pat on the back for that, I know that's literally the bare minimum for being a decent human being. I'm just meaning to say that I'm sorry and I'll try to do better and thank you for bringing that to my attention. You are seen and heard, I hope my response didn't come off as mansplaining or colonialist...sometimes I over-explain which I've been told is a colonialist patronizing stance that white males like myself fall into. I'm sorry if that's how it's coming across, just wanted to acknowledge your lived experience as legitimate and recognize my screw up/bigoted blindness.
