For many of you, you may be saying it’s about time. But I just want you to know, my intentions and actions, although contrary to what you may have hoped for, were never from an ill or self-gratuitous place. I decided to interview and post Nubian’s interview because I wanted to help share her voice and her experiences with racism on the blogosphere. Unfortunately, what went down was exactly what she documented in her interview with me.

I have explained my reasons for not taking her interview down earlier this week. Today, I am posting to say that I took her interview down. I’ve decided to take the interview down as a form of an apology and in the spirit of reconciliation. In addition, I will be working with the rest of the women of Feministing to create clearer posting & comment guidelines to follow so hopefully another situation like this never happens again.

I know this is not water under the bridge. But I hope this is a start in the right direction. I hope Feministing will no longer be judged because of a decision I tried my best to make, but ended up falling very short.
