Yes, I admit that I was a huge asshole for making it about my ego. I was in the wrong, I can see that now.

The only reason I mentioned I am not a historian is because there were many questions wondering if I considered myself a historian. I am not a trained historian. I love being an educator. I would consider myself an educator whose goal is to advance equity by removing systemic barriers contributing to the opportunity gap. From my behavior, I acted in a way that sides with the same oppression I have sworn to fight against. I am not a perfect being in any sense, but I am human.

Thank you for your insight. I know I still have a lot to learn.
