Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

It's been a goofy ass week and I'm glad it's over

Trying to explain shit about the first world to someone from here :broken_heart: it's like when you mention something bad they expect to say but and explain how we're doing it much worse or how it's actually okay there, like one time I was explaining to someone stuff about Nazi Germany and they were saying "but we're worse" after every few sentences.

In the Nuremberg trials Nazis blamed deaths in death camps on pre existing conditions rather than conditions in the camp. Now westerners doing it again using nazi barbies like Ingram. Honestly these people disgust me on a deep level. With climate refugees mark my words the strategy will be the same

Had a weird dream that I was a circus freak and my main gimmick was getting shot and it only hurting like hell instead of killing me. I'm very much aware of how historically circuses displayed marginalized people to white audiences and if I did deeper of the perception of pain white people assign to poc. I do be wondering how much I dissociate the pain I feel because of this reason vs say toxic masculinity. It's probably a mix of both either way I want both of these cops in my head dead so I can feel what I feel in peace. I know I'm never gonna be free of suffering but I don't wanna have to gaslit myself that it's not so bad

Finished Easy Lover rearranged in my djenty style... I was thinking to possibly grab the isolated studio vocal track and slapping that over this. Maybe, but here's the instrumental.

A lot of westerners take middle east's casual racism, sexism and homophobia as a sign of Israel's progressiveness, when in reality the zionist entity is a competitive player, putting gay people in prison is a rookie move when you can black mail them into doing terrorism and being informants [insert clever way to include how female IOF soldiers that are available for marriage are presented during birth right tour].

GUESS WHO IS A FULL MEMBER OF THE PSL???

Glad Hulk Hogan dead but annoyed with all the white people on saying "I don't agree with his views but you're a piece of shit for celebrating his death" dear lord the amount of giving a shit about him is astounding. Like you're clearly defending him if you keep asking for us to respect him after he died for his family like nah no dice.

I fucking hate, hate, hate, hate landlords.

That's all.

Trying to decipher how much of my personality is appeasement mannerism come about from being big and brown and folx idk sometimes I feel bad for experiencing emotions that could be seen as threatening and it's just exhausting. Definitely feels like I'm playing a stereotype for acceptance and a pessimistic part of me tells myself people just keep me around to feel better about themselves.

went to the queer clinic, they took my blood

a person with white guilt will never reach the level of a self hating poc/third worlder, not even comparable.

why do so many people get away with being so vocally "pro-Palestinian" and "anti-genocide" but you work at IBM/Microsoft/PwC/insert other company that directly contributes to the genocide ??? how are you so SHAMELESS?

there needs to be an option to filter out american opinions from the internet. i need to get behind that great wall.

Seeing white Americans hating HOA is nice but attributing it to sexism (Karens) instead of their own racist ass practices does make me angry ngl. Not gonna defend either but gonna enjoy watching them fight

just when i thought i'd seen everything, i see this tweet. how do you americans all feel about this.

I'm getting back on the plant based wagon after falling off for a long while. Feels really great. It's been a work in progress for a while, but most of my meals are starting to be plant based and it makes me happy 😊

I'm stressed about mass deportation, but still doing my best to get out there and resist ICE despite being part of their target demographic. I figure being out in front is safer since I can at least partially set the terms of engagement. I really don't want to be blindsided, I've already accepted that bad shit will happen. I just don't want it to be a surprised when it finally does.

I hate the white cracker treat brain. "I come here to escape real-world problems." Motherfucker, if you can turn that part of your brain off, it's not really a problem for you, is it?

I do not get the privilege of telling the cops "Yeah I don't feel like doing a racist ableism right now. Can we reschedule this for Thursday?" with them responding all "Okay that works for us, too! We'll be back to do our racial profiling then! Please meet us again right here."

If I can't rely on the people in this space to not whine about how something happening is affecting their ability to consoom without thinking about the thing, it means I have to keep my guard up. You get to zone out, while I have to go through the effort of watching what I say in case some fuckwad thinks it'd be funny to send false reports to ICE/the FBI/local police/Social Security Admin/the IRS as the least harmful scenario that could play out.

The manager for the job referral finally got back to me and wants to schedule an interview!

To the Americans here, if you're given a choice of immigrating to another country, anywhere you desire, and never coming back, would you take it? I was wondering why everyone around me kept reassuring me that things will get better after a few years, but then I realized they were either whites, church-goers, or 🍊 supporters.

This is gonna be a weird thing to say, but I can't trust most feminists to be "misandrists" or "man haters" responsibly.

To clarify what I mean by this: Obviously, I, of all people, get saying things like "I hate men," "I hate white people," and/or "I hate straight people" out of seeking catharsis about the grievances you have with people in privileged positions acting like shit. I'm basically the leader when it comes to complaints about cracKKKers

However, my issue is that, like I said, I can't trust mainstream feminists to do this responsibly. What I mean by that is that I can't expect them to do in a way where they're actually making a systemic critique rather than just leaning into some extremely individualistic framing of the matter that inevitably pans out as essentialist bullshit that endangers trans people and POC.

For this reason, I get skeptical a lot when I see "man-hating" content online—not because I disagree with the message itself, but because of the way this message has been exploited. I don't expect your average person who yaps on social media (or IRL for that matter) to actually be revolutionary and educated about oppression from a systemic perspective.
