UPDATE: AITAH for accidentally being racist because I didn't know black people were associated with monkeys?

Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/rlDuBofNli So it's been a few days since I made my post. I'm still not feeling 100% better about This situation but I'm making progress. I will get through this with time that's for sure! I'm going to answer some of your guys questions that you may have. "Did you try to apologize to Clark?" Yes I tried twice. Once in voice, once with a mutual friends help. Both proved foul. But according to them, it seems like Clark will come around with time, so I think I'll just carry on with my life regardless of wether or not Clark decides to forgive me. I'm just happy that Clark is at least a little more calm. Or seems to be anyway. "How are you going to carry on with your life?" Just as usual with my usual routine that makes me happy, I'm not going to publicly speak in the server about it because I feel that people could see it the wrong way. There are people in there who see that I am a good person and I don't want to let them down. "What did you learn from this situation?" I learned quite a bit from this situation, I learned about racist imagery thanks to an article I read about black people being associated with monkeys and it's taught me alot. I learned to read the room. Because that conversation didn't involve me to begin with. And most importantly, I learned that I didn't need Clark's forgiveness, I needed My own. I knew that what I did was a mistake. I just couldn't bring myself to forgive myself for it. I'm on the way to forgiving myself now. It'll take time but the journey to self forgiveness will be complete. I have Clark to thank for all this. It may be the last lesson he'll ever teach me, but it's the own valuable lesson he's ever taught me, one that I'll never forget. Regardless of what's happens, everything will be OK. I wish nothing but the best for Clark. Besides, why worry about what one person thinks of me when I have a dream to chase. I will remain hopeful that Clark will eventually come around and we will be able to work this out, even if that seems like it's never going to happen. But yeah, thank you guys for your perspectives even if you thought that I was TA in this situation. Now I must depart. Farewell.
