CW// talk of SA
Every time I see a topic of SA under colonialism I notice Europeans/colonizers don't even do apologism, they twist it into "in their cultures they isolate and shame the victims this is so sad"

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.

I wrote this frustrated update in my most recent mutual aid post
Okay, I'm really fucking tired of this shit. Remember this? Despite another lengthy absence, he still lives here. What the fuck? I don't even understand. It's been over 80 days, and I just happen to see him today. I was going to go on a walk, but I felt too emotionally shattered to even do that. Honestly, I'm just going to stick to how I've been going about things since before he went on this absence. I'm not going to use the kitchen barring the microwave and maybe the toaster and air fryer. This job is a monumental moment because the fact that I have networking on my side makes me tons more confident I'll get it, but not only that, landing some stable work will finally be my ticket to getting the fuck out of here, and that cannot be more valuable. I will make that of the utmost financial priority once I start working. When I get into this position (I hope it's not too bold for me to say "when" instead of "if"), I also intend to open myself up to finding a partner and eventually getting stuff to record my album, but good God, I'm pissed right now, so I'm reposting this to make sure I'm definitively covered for transportation. When I do see him, I'm taking a whole gray rock approach and not acknowledging his existence in any way. Thankfully, it's gotten pretty natural for me.
Despite this, I still just thugged it out and went on the walk anyway, and it was nice. I'm not gonna let him get to me. Really, it seems like a burnt toast theory moment because now I feel even more inclined to do stellar on this job interview, which I was already feeling pretty confident about. I'm about to go 1000% in! As soon as I get this job, I'm workin' and stackin', and I'll try to find somewhere else. There are some specifically BIPOC and queer-friendly spaces maybe. I'll reach out to queer comrades where I live and see if they know a place.
Gonna touch grass while it's sunny today...
Don't know where you are but wearing a big hat in the park has helped me greatly today. It's my old straw hat I had from forever ago 
bean sammies
dangerously close to beans on toast tho
I know... but I must admit that I love to eat such a cracKKKer creation on the regular
Still 
Same 😔 also
Isn't tomato-sauce beans on toast originally USian food, that was advertised back, by Heinz, to British people as breakfast? 
The british people I know have claimed it as theirs, I can vibe with some tomato in my beans but it best be diced instead of sauce.
That's some nice sarnies.
Used last of my plasma monies for gas, still no update on what's gonna happen on my mom's truck. Gonna go for another donation tomorrow, just need to make sure to bring more water with me. Damn plasma place's water fountain has been down for a month it seems, like you're draining us dry already at least have the decency to make sure there's water around. I will say being stuck so many time with that big ass needle has very much gotten me over any fear of sharp objects now or blood 
Through a text, I called my landlord out on this bullshit and emphasized that she has no legal evidence to charge me for this. I'm not expecting her to push back because I believe that me having willingness to refute this shit just immediately foils her plan because her ability to go through with this manipulation is contingent on me being totally compliant. I'm not—hell no! I also know that her assumptions are rooted in anti-Blackness and her not expecting a Black person to have awareness of their own damn rights.
Wtf was up with the recent post that was removed? Someone equating Judaism and Zionism 
Many westerners still hold reactionary beliefs despise being leftists
I think it was saying the global religion holds a lot of zionist bloodthirsty for a Holocaust on brown peopl in the middle east. I think we give a lot of leeway to Judaism, which was clearly co-opted by zionist ideology, I think in the 70s. The difference with other religions, is the Christian zionist gives the support and firepower and monetary gain. We can't have meaningful dialog about antisemitism when isntreal is commiting this genocide + terror in the middle east in the name of Judaism while the only oppression Jewish people are facing right now is getting arrested for protesting that rhetoric or having their religion conflated with zionism because of the same, which is just word and not power.
