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 first week of december

They see 2 public executions and think "how can i make this about Kamala??"
Blue Maga is a cult
also another thing, the mom wasnt the first person ICE shoot this year, it was an african american man, and there was zero protest for him by the libs
under Kamala and Biden a girl got shredded by a Tank, but that was in Gaza so to liberals it's okay.
Liberals: how dare that girl cost Kamala the election
And Kamala along other Dems increased the budget of ICE and they will fucking do it again.
Blm protests what did biden do? Increase the police budget. Before that clintons did what? The crime bill that helped them have 20% of the world's prison population
Then you got a tooooooon of liberal black folks that cape for these guys and their every action. They get shocked when a lot of black folks seemingly broke ranks with em and I don't even mean the ones that went MAGA who were a tiny percent
I had a few posts come up on my social media feed from, what I thought, was a cool POC leftist account and gave them a follow. When this ICE shit started popping off they posted a video with someone complaining about single issue "Palestine" voters. I just thought they couldn't be serious. I went further back in their post history and they had a bunch of videos of mostly white people complaining about the strawman "Palestine single issue voter" and I was fucking mad. Most people that cared about Palestine enough to not vote for Kopmala also cared that she was part of an administration and party that keep exploding police budgets. Exploded the DHS budget. Used language that helped build hatred against immigrants. I can keep on going.
I really want these people to wake the fuck up. I have so many lib friends that are still ok with Democrats and it makes me so fucking sad that they just don't open their eyes.
May as well tell em voting because the orange man is there is single issue because they sure as fuck don't say shit when about a lot of these issues unless a repub can be blamed. How much of the Palestine cause would gain traction among their ranks if trump wasn't in office? Lets be honest. They all shrugged at the massive death toll in the middle east, they shrugged when biden stole billions in assets from an impoverished afghanistan, they shrug hell even downplay blockades in places like cuba etc with a level of obtuseness only Sarti warned about and if they go to war with Iran it will be another shrug. They do the same exact bullshit Repubs do just with some leftist aesthetics.
When you look up the dictionary definition for “ghoul” it’s just a picture of these people
Inside every cracker there is Adolf Hitler
and another thing, there are people disappeared in the concentration camps and also a few deads this year but also no protest about them, only about the militarize police, which are also bad but its very telling how they only care about whats visible and not the camps
If they did, they would have to get into who opened the camps and who voted to keep funding them. Plus, they’re not white enough to warrant caring about. If you pressed them on it they would probably imply that if Kamala was in power then it would only be the untermenschen getting disappeared instead of killing whites in the street.
Even though I understand why it exists, this line of thought never fails to fill me with white hot rage each and every time I see it:
White fascist thug kills white person
“How can I blame murdered Palestinian children for this?”
Honestly I see optimism from some on this site that this will radicalize several and that is true for some but I've seen mad amounts of americans downplaying even the Canada threats and thats wild to me. Even a site like resetera a ton of Canadian posters got banned because they were pissed off at Americans for this shit. Now imagine
