the 'reveal' was here
I am so deeply sorry for the ways you are hurting right now because of me. You have expressed confusion, shock, betrayal, anger, and mistrust. All of those things are a consequence of how I have navigated our relationships and the spaces we share. In trying to sort through parts of who I am, I've taken some very wrong turns. I never really owned up to them as they became apparent, nor recognized the trail of damage behind me. The harm I caused is a result of my lack of courage, a preference for being vague and contradictory, uncertain and insecure. I want to make amends for every ounce of heartbreak and betrayal. I have let guesses about my ancestry become answers I wanted but couldn't prove. I have let people make assumptions when I should have corrected them. | |

| #9 Raj, if you hit 'back', you will usually find your rant still there and you can try again. |

| #7 Raj - make a game of it. Type your rant, select all (CTRL-A), copy (CTRL-C) post. If it doesn't show up, open a new comment and paste (CTRL-V) and try to guess the showstopper. It can actually be fun. Also, we need to see your rant. That's why we are all here. |

| #4 Hey, I been thinking of claiming black privilege. There's more privilege in that. |

| #3 "They regularly criticized people for getting their name wrong" It's 'Bouquet'. |

| #2 Back in the 50s and 60s, the accusation was someone was 'passing'. That's when people wanted to be 'white' to improve their social economic standing. Today, its the reverse. That has got to tell you that you are not oppressed, but privileged. These people are seeking to improve their social and economic standing. |

| #1 After reading both the confession and the "reveal" all I can say is "Wow!" If you want a good illustration of just how seriously, profoundly effed up social justice warriors are, read both. Insane. Absolutelly insane. |
