can we talk about forgiving people who have racist pasts please?
like I am a firm believer in change. I think people can grow and learn new things and become better people than they once were

but its so odd to me how *everyone* seems to have this "phase" of antiblackness they went through and at some point we have to let enough be enough
I dont want to hold hate for people like that, its just not who I am
but I also don't want to forgive everyone with that kind of past
so I guess my question is: when do we decide to forgive celebrities, influencers, or just people we know for their racist pasts? or are they just over and done with the second the truth comes out?
do we want them to tell us about the racism before it gets leaked?
or would you rather them bury and cover it up?
these are all /gen questions btw like I actually want to hear y'all's opinion
also all poc can reply to this im not just talking specifically about antiblackness I mean racism in general
