A meme.

If you think that anyone can be guilty of making a racist comment or performing a racist act, including you, and that you are willing to take ownership of your statements and actions, resist blaming the person who was offended, figure out why they were taken as racist, apologize, and not do it again, post this exact sentence in your journal.

There's been a request made here that this meme not be passed on because of the way it reinforces unhelpful views of the nature of racism. I'm not going to take the meme statement down, because there's been too much post-deletion in this ongoing discussion, and because I do not know to what extent I agree with the request.
