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.

Hello nerds, hope you all have a good next week 
Remember no crackers
Yesterday, I said to myself in the morning, "I haven't had doubles in a long time. Maybe I should go to the Caribbean shop sometime soon."
Then shortly after I go on Instagram, I see a post from this vegan recipe account by this Black British man I follow. He primarily shares African, Latin American, and Caribbean dishes, and this time, he shared a recipe for doubles.
I find it a fascinating coincidence!

Stupid mfs cosplaying agents and going to sanctuary cities 
Bit idea: we dress up as ICE agents and go to sanctuary cities where we arrest real ICE agents and deport them back to Europe. We give all their stuff to immigrants they were trying to attack.
Chavez jr fought jake paul last week now ICE deporting him? Everyone is a legit target. This world cup next year will be a shitshow https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fU48eUJg4iU&pp=ygUJQ2hhdmV6IGpy0gcJCcEJAYcqIYzv These mfs tying him with organized crime and cartels gtfo. They're just incriminating people with bullshit now. Wtf
One of the most popular chuds was calling to feed 65 million migrants to the gators in florida, aka the 65 million latinos living in the USA
ICE is just the US version of the gestapo at this point
Mandem saying "who's gonna pay for healthcare" quiet about that 70 or so billion budget for ICE Gestapo
the gators and the latinos uniting together to eat the crakkkers and create a truly revolutionary state
Today is the independence day of Vunzuela and Algeria
Can't forget that time I was getting along really well with this Black queer vegan leftist until they found out I'm an ML and said "Sorry, I hate tankies and campists."
Wew... this person was certainly interesting. They told me they don't care about content for Palestine because it seems "trendy." (WTF)
So many vibes, and none of them feel right.

Yep, def missed a big bullet right there.
My team is down 3: 1 permanent. I keep breaking my back to get things done, but my friend said let it all fail so they know it's unreasonable to have 3 less people and keep up same amount of output. Since I'm in charge I worry it'll backfire; I also worry that they know I'm not the type to let things fail which is why they overloaded me.
Pretty much in a similar situation for the past 3+years. Took forever to add a 4th person because we were seeing a much higher volume of work.
That person only lasted about 3 months before they quit. Never got replaced. With the experience we had gained we were able to handle the volume of work, but only because we were just that good at the job and we picked up extra shift.
One of the people from our 3 person crew left and we struggled to replace them because the base pay is shit. Finally replaced them after some turnover over a year. The new person isn't quite as reliable. Had the other person get promoted and their replacement has been similarly unreliable.
Now I'm doing my best balancing helping them with the work they do plus all the responsibilities I have as a lead all while the higher up occasionally mention adding another person, which we already had. I'm so fucking tired, but I know looking g for another job is going to be hell and somehow they're still ok with how things are even though we've had a drop in the quality of our work.
Our quality dropped too! But no one's saying anything so I'm not bringing it up either. There's too much work
I feel bad that I suddenly got a very strong craving for hot dogs on CracKKKer Independence Day because it kinda felt like I was "celebrating," but I said "Fuck it!"
I made these out of tofu
I'm thinking to write a bridge that leads into a guitar solo and then go from there with one more verse/pre-chorus/chorus section. After that, some sort of outro will close out the song, and that will conclude track 8 out of 9!

Damn you're close to a full album. Gonna try to get a label to publish or just distribute for fun?
I actually intend to see if I can get a full band going at some point and publish this for real.
My main issue right now is that I need some more musical equipment but won't have the funds to get it until I get out of this unemployment shit. That's what I'm looking forward to the most.
Since I'm clearly quite a prolific writer, I'd love to get music out at a King Gizzard rate, really.
I have a 4-string bass and have been practicing on that for now, but the songs I write are for when I get a 7-string bass. I intend to get a used one to keep it fairly cheap, especially since most companies are not regularly producing such a niche kind of instrument. Thankfully, my bass playing and vocals are improving a lot, and I'm starting to get the hang of singing and playing simultaneously!
It feels really concerning that there are cases where I'd feel infinitely more respected by a Black conservative than I would a white leftist (even though, obviously, neither of them would be truly respectful).
Social media can be so cringe. I had been following an indigenous rights group and over time I've come to realize its kind of a lib page even though they do some radical positions like land back. And I didn't mind the fact that it is a lib page, but they posted some cringe shit about black people being colonizers and it like... ehhhh. If we're going to label black people like that because there are those who enthusiastically support the US and white supremacy then you're going down a slippery slope by labeling the entire group that way. Especially because there are groups of indigenous people who believe in assimilating with, or at least are ok with, colonizer culture. IDK, maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but I unfollowed the page. I have other indigenous rights pages that are much more intersectional.
happy juneteenth
made a new account to tell yall about sliced mayo but it turns out its a hoax :(
Star witness against Kilmar Garcia has legit a long rapsheet and will not be deported or serve his federal prison sentence. So he has a rapsheet longer than the one love remix and hes gonna go free to get a man who has no criminal record of any kind. his credibility as a witness shattered due to an obvious deal he got. Absolute clown show that this case isn't thrown out of court
