“I’m sorry. I know that’s not enough. I’m going to keep doing the work”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Ghost Inside’s<\/strong> Jim Riley has released a statement<\/a> following online allegations<\/a> that he used a racial slur towards a bus driver.<\/p>\n

In response to the below tweet from Bracewar<\/strong>‘s Rashod Jackson, which details an event from 2015…<\/p>\n

This is cute. @theghostinside<\/a> y\u2019all gonna act like your bitch ass bass player didn\u2019t call y\u2019alls bus driver a nigger that time? I ain\u2019t forget that shit. https:\/\/t.co\/vTJuawPbyW<\/a><\/p>\n

…Jim posted the below statement in a series of tweets.<\/p>\n

“Rashod called me out in 2015. I called him, he put the screws to me. I deserved it, and I apologized to him. He told me that wasn’t good enough and he was right.<\/em><\/p>\n

Its shameful and fucking embarrassing. I present myself as someone who gives a shit about progressive movements and ideas, and I was not living up to that.<\/p>\n

Because of that conversation I had to take a big fucking look in the mirror and recognize a lot of bullshit that I was selling myself.<\/p>\n

I made too many excuses for being brought up without exposure to the black experience, and I should have been better.<\/p>\n

I make a conscious effort to purge stuff about myself that still sucks when I find it, and to be mindful that I’m just a passenger on someone else’s ship in any movement related to black lives.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry. I know that’s not enough. I’m going to keep doing the work. That might still not be enough. I’m going to do it anyway.”<\/p>\n
