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?
- Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

MODERATORS
Benjamin J. Davis, born on this day in 1903, was American lawyer and communist who was elected in 1943 to the New York City Council, representing Harlem. Davis was persecuted by the state via the anti-communist Smith and McCarran Acts.
Davis became radicalized through his role as defense attorney in the 1933 trial of Angelo Herndon, a 19-year-old black communist who had been charged "attempting to incite insurrection" because he tried to organize a farm workers' union.
In 1949, Davis was among a number of communist leaders prosecuted for violating the Smith Act. He was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. In 1962 Davis was charged with violating the Internal Security Act (also known as the McCarran Act), but died before the case could come to trial.
"Whether one agrees with the Communist Party or not, one must at least know the truth about it. One must not permit his ideas to be shaped by the hysteria which now passes as a 'crusade against Communism'... For example, the canard that every Communist has his pockets lined with 'Moscow gold.' If that were true, one could be sure that there would scarcely be any room in our party for workers. The capitalists, to whom gold is god of the universe, would crowd them out."

I remember nakochi (dont remember the actual username) fucking invaded this mega to spread their white, zionist bullshit and the mods didnt do shit
Edit: it might have been a different white
Edit again: nako might be mixed so itd make sense the mods wouldn't prevent them from posting here
Final edit I swear: they are white
I thought Nako was indigenous American? Don't remember if they ever said what nation. Is it confirmed arson is nako returned? I could see it based on the particular inane pet ideas she's arguing.
They could be both white and indigenous but admittedly I assumed they were white from a picture they posted of themself and their constant zionism. No clue if they are mixed or not
I think people are assuming based off their mannerisms
Edit: they are white and I have reason to believe thats their new account but its not really evidence so not worth sharing
Nako's white but has like an Indigenous stepfather or something of that sort
Jewish USians pulling a "spiritually israeli" and now nako pulling a "spiritually indigenous" lmao
I have a PoC friend/acquantance/family connection, now there's no way you can call me a racist
It's amazing when you're mixed like me and you throw this shit right into a cracker's face. "How can I be racist against white people when half my family is white? Why aren't I allowed to say 'honkey?'"
Oh no I know who they are and what they did but wasn't aware that they were back especially since after the whole "its ok for a black man with ocd to yell out the n slur to a group of black man" a mod reassured me that they banned them to prove they arent racist or zionists??? Nah I'm never trusting these assholes. Racists scumbags the lot of them..
I think I might have the person im thinking of confused, we might not be talking about the same person
Sorry for the confusion, comrade
Oh I get the edit now dw and thanks for clarifying.
