Megan Amram is a comedy writer whose work has been featured on好地方and she also created the webseries一个梅根的艾美。几天前她在推特上召开了过去的问题推文。你可以读到这种情况here。梅根道歉，与威廉·杰克逊哈珀和曼尼·纳卡内托一样与她合作的颜色人民不得不履行关于这种情况的劳动。当人们做这个Sh-T时，常常不得不携带的负担，以这种方式，以这种方式思考这些事情，“笑话”。

Megan’s tweets, which were anti-Asian and gross, are about a decade old. And there are those who, quite rightly, have pointed out that even though they’re not recent, she was an adult and should have known better. Whether or not you cancel her, then, is your decision.

Many people object to cancel culture. My personal opinion on it is that while cancel culture is not always judiciously applied, it does have value. Sometimes people should be cancelled. And if you visit this website often, you might be thinking about whether or not to cancel me. That’s fair.

I too have written shameful, horrible things. And today those things are being highlighted on social media because Ben Mulroney, husband of Jessica Mulroney, announced he’s stepping down as anchor ofEtalk.杰西卡之后用她的白色特权对抗萨莎埃克塞特。You’ll recall, last week I wrote about the situation – the article ishere。这篇文章产生了很多关注和我写的其他事情已经产生了很多关注。所以，就像梅根·阿姆拉姆，现在是时候“吃掉我的食物”，因为我的一个好朋友总是说。

As I acknowledged in my piece about Sasha Exter and Jessica Mulroney last week, I have been conditioned in white supremacy, and I have enabled white privilege, even as a person of colour myself, because we too, given that white supremacy is so dominant, can have bias. This is why Van Jones referred to racism as a “virus”, it lives within us. When I started this site back in 2003/2004, I wrote misogynist things and slut shaming things, and racist things. And as the site grew in popularity, it served as confirmation bias, that there was an appetite out there for this kind of content, and I wanted to keep delivering it. Over time, I learned and grew, along with many of you who have learned and grown. And through it all, I have talked about my progress, calling out my past mistakes and leaving much of that content on the site instead of deleting it. There are some things, though, that have been deleted because I was embarrassed and I didn’t want to be part of it and obviously didn’t want to perpetuate those thoughts. But in the process of doing that, I realised that that would be erasing history – and for marginalised people, their pain and trauma is constantly being erased and invalidated. My leaving it there to be eventually called out is nothing compared to their experience.

也就是说，现在提到这可能会被读为自我服务，合理化，我也愿意吃那种食物。但它应该在那里被估计，反思给我，以及其他人，丑陋和造成的伤害。所以我现在正在看着这个，就在我自己的脸上。这是工作的一部分。这是一个例子：

Not that you need this explained, but the shame must be named. My shame must be named. “Ghetto” is a racist term for describing Black people. Also, I was body-shaming Janet Jackson when in fact that was my shame.

There’s another reason I have to write about the changes in the writing and the site though. Because doing better, in my case, involved other people. People of colour and LGBTQ+ people whose voices are part of our team, who have done great work here, work that I’m proud to host, so please do not go for them. They are amazing.

Then again, it’s possible that in my even talking about these wonderful contributors, I’m trying to make myself look good. I see that too. Too often, Black and Indigenous people and members of the LGBTQ+ community are doing the work of protecting the very same people who hurt them. And too often, Black and Indigenous people and members of the LGBTQ+ community are doing the work of teaching those of us who need to improve. Their efforts should be acknowledged. I want to say their names but at the same time I recognise that saying their names can be seen as me saying “I have Black friends” as a justification. All I’ll do then is to let them know how appreciated they are.

What’s even more complicated is that I’m so proud of what the site has become. And articulating that is complicated in and of itself. Because it could be interpreted as me trying to save my ass. But I do want to acknowledge those who’ve been visiting LaineyGossip faithfully over the years and the emails I’ve been getting especially over the last few weeks from people who have also been confronting their ugliness, their racism, doing better, being better – so many of you have been doing the work together with the site and we have to keep it up.

So in this moment, as power structures are being challenged, those of us who have been complicit and complacent in upholding those power structures must be called out. I must be called out. I must be prepared to face the consequences. This is what the movement towards equality and justice is all about – for people to be held accountable. I must hold myself accountable and you should hold me accountable too.

那么，问责制看起来像吗？现在，它是关于直接解决这个问题。再次，命名耻辱，如果别人正在解决他们的问题，我想在道歉中读到什么。但我确实知道该网站现在是什么，我知道如何在未来改善它，这与几年前看起来都不像它。对于后果？这不是对我的。由您决定是否要与我的写作进行聘用，以及不完美和进展。上周，在CTV的变革和行动结束时：加拿大的种族主义，在我们的结束言论期间，我说我犯了错误，鼓励观众，如果他们想成为一个盟友，请记住盟友不能完美。有效盟友的一部分是拥有这种不完美。这也是自营吗？ Can something be self-serving and still make things better for others? Too often, Black, Indigenous, and other people of colour and marginalised groups, even when they are right and feel tall in their truth, expend energy to maintain their truth because they’re gaslit all the time. The reason for an apology is to validate the people who were wronged. Of course, they don’t need your confirmation necessarily, they’ve already known. But the fact is they felt unseen. An apology is to validate that truth and acknowledge the wrong. It means they are being seen. And that’s what we’re doing right now, in these times. Making sure the people who have not been seen should be seen.

我道歉。对不起。我会吃掉食物，当对我来说，当更多食物时，我也会吃掉。工作继续。
