Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Why is the title different?
We like to have fun here.
What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.
What are the basic rules of the community?
-
Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
-
This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.

Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.
-
No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.
-
Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.
FAQ
I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?

This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be "white" but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you've experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.
-
Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are "white" but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.
What can I post?

hope you all have a good next week

Remember when the people on this site made a big show of apologizing for their zionist tendencies and philosemitic supremacist moderation practices? I do.
Yet here we are. I suspect the plan is to just mistreat people until they disappear and then pretend everything is solved.
48 hours and no reply... the individual who purposefully made a big show of apologizing after I was banned. https://hexbear.net/comment/6556676
What do you think I should do comrades?
The more I think about it the more obscene the whole thing is. My postulating that there is a possibility it was false flag is now a conspiracy theory despite a long line of similar documented events.

Venezuela stopping a similar false flag mere months ago. Remember when Australia expelled Iranian ambassadors right before snapback was implemented on the accusation Iran "financed attacks on Australian Synagogues"? Or how about going back in history to the Synagogue bombing in 1994 Argentina which the entire media apparatus then blamed on Hezbollah and just last December Milei's government officially laid the blame on Iran... or the long line of terrorist attacks that Mossad carried out against Arab Jews in Iraq and other places to convince them to migrate to Palestine during the 20th century.But also we might ask, what is "genuinely antisemitic attack?"
spoiler
Either A) Its a false flag approved by John Woodcock and cronies. Then its not antisemitic, its literally a setup scheme for the Euro-american-zionist death cult.B) The attacker was just another Shami Arab Muslim feeling powerless and politically disenfranchised while seeing fascist Zionist cult center in his city that is vocally supporting the extermination of his people. (Questionable tactical choices aside.)
If its A then youre playing into zionists talking points. That would be their goal, right? If its B then you're saying Zionist death cult outposts are a protected class on the basis of their Jewishness. In other words, that a Shami Arab Muslim immigrant attacking a zionist outpost that is openly flaunting its dedication to exterminating his people is "antisemitism".
So which is it? Is Zionism = Judaism or is it not? They cannot have it both ways.
Other relevant and concerning outcomes of this attack in Manchester.

The police actually shot two of the people besides Jihad and one of those people died.An arson attack was carried out against a mosque in Peacehaven yesterday.
Of course the fascist British state is ever mobilizing more security forces to clamp repression in light of "rising antisemitic violence."
So why do hexbears sound like JK Rowling now?
Additionally, a lot of comrades had a lot of good content under that post combatting Islamaphobic narratives like people making fun of someone having "Jihad" as their name...
All of that gets conveniently deleted as well because one of the philosemitic supremacists was offended?
