Hi! This apology isn't to apologize for not posting any new chapters or anything like that. It's to apologize for something that I have done in the past and I want to own up to my mistake.

2 years ago I posted a mini-series for Zetsu and in it, I said a joke that isn't appropriate for me to had said(I'm not sure if appropriate is the right word. Joke in poor taste????).

I now see the joke in a way that is offensive and gives off a racist innuendo. Innuendo???? (Once again I'm not sure if innuendo is the right word to use).

The joke that I'm apologizing for is, "". I was never going to type the full word. If it wasn't cut off it would have just been

At the time I wrote this joke I just saw it as a joke. I didn't think this joke had any bad connotations. I was very ignorant. I should have known better. I am grateful that I had the tiniest bit of common sense back them to never had said or typed the word out.

I have strayed away from these jokes months later that chapter was published as I quickly learned how offensive those jokes were.

I have never said anything blatantly racist things with horrid intentions. I have never looked down on others because of their skin. I did however say jokes that play on stereotypes of POC because I only saw them as a harmless joke. At a young age, I even laughed at jokes that were making fun of the stereotypes of my own heritage. I never realized how derogatory those jokes were. I let others make border jokes in front of my face and I laughed with them and ignored the negative feeling that I had as they said those jokes. I'm terribly sorry if you felt the same way as you read the joke that I made in the Zetsu chapter.

I'm sorry for not addressing this sooner. I had forgotten about that bad joke until a comment that I received earlier caught my attention. I don't really read comments because of how many notifications I receive on a daily basis. But I'm really grateful that I paid attention to that certain comment.

I can't describe the guilt and how sorry I am.

I removed the joke from the chapter and I will be soon reviewing the past chapters to make sure I didn't do anything similar.

If the joke didn't affect you (If you aren't part of the black community) then please don't comment anything like "The joke wasn't that bad" or " Oh that's just dark humor". This isn't your place to speak. I will be deleting any comments that are negative to the black community. I will however keep any comments criticizing me.

I'm sorry.
