I'm sorry. My actions have reflected terribly on my institution, my family, and myself.
I'm not a racist. I'm not a bigot. I'm not homophobic. On Wednesday, in an act of extremely poor judgment I drove through Wellesley campus yelling trump 2016 and make America great again. I didn't spit on or towards anyone. In fact, I didn't spit at all. I didn't use profane language. Not even a single time. I didn't go to the harambee house intentionally. I didn't even know what that was. However, this post is not intended to deflect responsibility. Nevertheless, I hurtfully displayed a flag that symbolizes fear for many people and my actions caused pain that I am responsible for.
For anyone part of the LGBTQ, African American, Muslim, immigrants, sexual assault victims, and another other community or individuals impacted by my actions: I can never understand what you are going through right now. I have perpetuated the fear that exists throughout the world today. That was not my intention and I am deeply sorry that this has happened. Although I do not support prejudice or discrimination of any kind, I've trivialized the suffering by the hands of those who do.
As a white male, I do not feel threatened by the new president. I have not had to work for that privilege. It was something I was born with. However, I'm willing to listen to how I can use this privilege to help those impacted by it and promote unity, equality, and prevent the marginalization of those afflicted.
However, just like you, I am a person. I welcome anyone to call me or send a message through Facebook so that I can reach out to you. My number is 860-335-8875. If the line is busy my email is edwardtomasso@gmail.com
Enough with the death threats, let's just talk. I'll listen for as long as you want even if it's just to express your anger at me. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to resolve this, even if that means talking personally to each and every person that feels hurt by my actions, listening and learning from your stories.
I'm writing this because I care about people and anyone who knows me can speak to that. Let's talk- you can decide.
