As a young
man, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt. I
thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn’t realize at the
time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the
ignorance. Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up
and apologized for those wrongs. Now that these mistakes from the past have
become public, I need to apologize again to all those I have offended. I’m very
sorry. I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I
apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable
mistake.
I was a
kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not
make that mistake again. Ignorance has no place in our society and I hope the
sharing of my faults can prevent others from making the same mistake in the
future. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say but telling the
truth is always what’s right. Five years ago I made a reckless and immature
mistake and I’m grateful to those close to me who helped me learn those lessons
as a young man. Once again….I’m sorry
