1) if you are a white person you absolutely said or did some shit in your past. Actually that goes for any privileged person. We are brought up within racist, sexist, ableist, classist structures. They are baked into media and education.

2) Coming to terms with your past is necessary in order to do better in the future and to acknowledge that you will mess up in the future too.

3) Comparing someone who was on the path to the alt-right (but never really was) to being an ex-Nazi and comparable to racists right now who continue to be racist is a failure to understand accountability.

4) It also suggests the existence of people who didn’t say or do bigoted shit in the past. You 100% did. Maybe you didn’t realize it was bad, and you moved on, but refusing to acknowledge it now and putting yourself above those who have held themselves accountable is not okay.
