I am writing this to not only apologize for my past actions, but also I want people to know the true me. First off, I am extremely sorry for my horrible actions. I acted extremely immature and I have learned and grown since them. I am a straight male and have lived in South Florida my whole life. The environment I grew up in was defiantly different than other people here. I was surrounded by different things, different people, and different morals and values. Making these mistakes in the past, I have learned to be a better person not only on this site, but also in the real world.
I have a poor reputation on this website, some believe I deserve it, but I don't. Those who I am friends with on this site know who I am as a person and know I never mean harm.
For those who continuously bash me for being "racist", go do something better with your time. I don't care what others believe about me because my friends and I know the real me.
If there is anyone who I have wronged in the past, anyone I have unnecessary beef with, or just anyone at all who wants to talk, feel free to skype me Benp428_Tengaged

I have apologized to people who have reached out to me in the past or have brought it up to me in the past, but I've never given a formal apology blog which I should have a while ago..
I'm glad you are moving towards a more positive future, I hope you continue to spread the positivity.
I just want to say telling people to go do something better with their time may not be the right approach. If someone was hurt by any racist comments you made in the past they need to process those feelings/emotions.
But again proud of you for working to be a better you :)
Wow.. really proud of you for this. You鈥檝e always been willing to admit your mistakes but this is big development. You鈥檙e a great guy Ben and I鈥檓 glad you have recognized your mistakes and continue to improve. You go Ben Paparazzi

I am sorry for my past actions and I have learned from my mistakes. I鈥檝e taken these lessons and my conversations with other people to help me grow and become a better person.

this reeks of insincerity and makes you appear like u think ur above something u refused to take responsibility for not too long ago. the people who have been calling you racist are the ones you need to be apologizing to because thats the action you鈥檙e trying to apologize for? i cant even tell because you refuse to own up and admit to any of what you did
like of course your friends or people who saw nothing wrong with your actions would accept your apology... apologizing to them is like saying nothing at all.

I understand what you're saying. I've apologized to people messaging me about it. There are people who took offense to it and there are people who just use it attack me over games.
I really do understand what I did was wrong and I'm upset I even did that. I have constantly owned up and apologized for my actions and I will continue doing it because I know it was wrong.
I am not racist and I know that. The people calling me racist are the ones who I evicted in frooks, shot out of hunger, etc....
"people who just use it attack me over games." "The people calling me racist are the ones who I evicted in frooks, shot out of hunger, etc...."
yet again lessening the impact of the fact that you DID indeed do very racist things despite you saying now that you aren't racist. you can't use the fact that people who dislike you were rightfully accusing you of being racist when your actions were racist and you were doing nothing to prove otherwise. people can change but i dont think you have truly understood the implications of what you did considering you continue to force part of the blame and fault onto other people. thats not how an apology works.
and i want to clarify im not fully trying to say you dont feel sorry. i really dont know because the amount of knowledge i have of you is your racist actions and your inability to own up to them fully until this apology. but i am letting you know it is coming across insincere and phony despite the fact that there may be good intentions and i want to explain why that is.
I think it's really telling when you make an apology all about yourself. It really shows your lack of self awareness and knowledge, because this entire thing comes across as though you feel that your actions were light hearted and the implications don't matter, people are just obsessed with you and want to target you in games.
Not to mention, your lack of ownership of said actions and lack of examples as to how you've changed or become a better person, render this blog completely pointless. Its not an apology. Who are you apologizing to? Your friends?
"For those who continuously bash me for being "racist", go do something better with your time. I don't care what others believe about me because my friends and I know the real me."
This is just straight up completely tone deaf. It's not about you. People are not obsessed with bashing you. You're not as important as you think you are. "Go do something better with your time" and "I dont care" clearly demonstrate that you have absolutely no understanding of what you've done and what the real issue is.
This "apology" is very embarrassing given the fact that it's taken years for you to even make one. It's important to know what you're apologizing for before apologizing. Do better.
