Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Lol at the zionist mods not being banned and we're supposed to ignore that because we got the emoji

America that was illegal to have interracial marriage in and could result in death just a few decades ago: "yeah we can reform this into having better rights"
Third world country that allows gay relations but not marriage: "KILL KILL KILL DESTROY THE ENTIRE COUNTRY DROP A NUKE"

Was sent logs of the mod chat by a whistleblower, read what was being said about the struggle sessions, completely and utterly delusional, egotistical, and entirely missing the point, plus direct accusations of me in particular being a wrecker + not to mention misgendering. I’m assuming a couple other users were also sent the html logs, I just don’t have the energy or desire to continue operating on this website after what i read. Basically every concern was completely ignored, subverted, or created baseless accusations. And the mod in particular who was asked to step down by many users is still a mod under another account and was told by admins they did nothing wrong. Thanks to the few cool users on this website but yea the administration is just childish and completely disconnected from its user base, unwilling to face legitimate criticism, so I will not be returning here anymore and I urge others who would like any sort of real positive change to do the same. Maybe someone will create another community and I would be happy to join then, but for now goodbye. This will probably end up getting purged anyways

A pretty attractive Black guy flirted with me today, and it's a confidence boost for sure, but I'm genuinely shocked because I keep forgetting that I look like a woman to most people nowadays. I don't think he knows that I'm 🏳️‍⚧️.

Ended up filing a complaint against this therapist I saw. He let baseless, irrelevant, and unprofessional bias prevent me from getting care that is absolutely essential to my well-being as a queer person. What grosses me out is that this was specifically at a clinic that claims to specialize in LGBTQ+ care. I hope something comes of this, but meh, these formal processes are rarely ever actually just. I scheduled with a new therapist at an organization that is queer and POC led (this other therapist who rejected my care is extremely ), and they were able to give me a free consultation. I expect them to be better in the long run.

It's gonna sound weird but I gotta say I've really grown to love my skin color more and more. Mom brought me up with a lot of colorism brainworms that I'm getting rid of as I grow up so I think I'm making progress

users: we need a purge

admins: purging the users calling out zionism

I forgot how exhausting and demoralizing signing up for jobs was, fuck the free market job guarante program now. I don't wanna be lumpen forever

Plague rats and apologists continuing to infest the Hexbear COVID comm, running free

I'm glad Hexbears are creating a safe space to help proud and smug social murderers feel better about themselves

Imagine tailing apolitical middle aged Aunties that have had no political education that are just trying not to die, calling yourself a communist and talking down to everyone that sees you as you are

If masking is normalized in the third world maybe just keep your pathetic inability to uphold basic principles to yourselves instead of turning principled spaces for victims and activists into support groups for their oppressors, i.e perpetrators of social murder

Settlers and their allies would would rather kill someone than look like a leftist:

I want to preface this by saying that I welcome any corrections if I use wrong terminology or offensive language. Please feel free to roast me if I say some reactionary shit.

Hello comrades, I'm looking for some info on chicanismo, primarily our indigenous brother's and sister’s view on it, after watching a video featuring Rick Tabenunaka from Decolonized Buffalo Podcast and his views on chicanismo. His primary thesis is that chicanismo is a settler colonialist project intended to erase the indigenous communities that lived and Live in the area that chicanos call Aztlán. Most of his evidence comes from the fact that early Chicano leaders appropriated the concepts of "La Raza" and "mestizaje" from José Vasconcelos’s book "La raza cósmica" or The Cosmic Race. Things get a little weird when you look into who José Vasconcelos was.

Vasconcelos was a Mexican philosopher and a thought leader of the Mexican revolution who went on to become secretary of education in the new government. In his most famous work, "La raza cósmica", he put forward the theory that since the people of Latin America were a mix of all the world's races they were the prime candidates for the creation of a "fifth race". Things get really bad when you read about his newspaper El Timón. El Timón mostly featured pro Nazi articles, news from the German frontlines, and showcased photos of the "heroic actions" of German, Japanese, and Italian troops. So yeah this dude was a Nazi piece of trash.

This is starting to sound like a hit piece on chicanismo which was not my intention but this new info has given me a little "crisis of faith" surrounding my Mexican identity. I guess I'm just looking for something to help me process this and figure out whether it's a legitimate argument and critique of chicanismo. Thank you for your time and I hope you all have a good day!

I couldn't find the original video I saw so I will post some other ones where Rick also speaks about chicanismo. I will also leave my source on Vasconcelos’s Nazi ties.

The interview with the vegan bakery went incredibly well, and it seems to be a good fit. They have quite a small team that is 100% queer and also is comprised of a few POC. I have barista experience, and they seem to have greatly valued that and the fact that I'm vegan as well, of course.

I'm not trying to lean too much into wishful thinking, but something about this interview stood out to me. The person interviewing me did not speak in "ifs." So, for example, they didn't say, "If you get hired..." Instead, they said, "When you start working here..."

They are interviewing a few other people, though, so I still have competition. However, this may be the most confident I've ever been about an interview yet. I don't even feel like the job interview that I had a referral for went over this well.

The hiring manager specifically told me that they try not to make interviews too formal and that they aim to greatly differ from how most places do it.

Fingers crossed! 🤞🏿

What I like about China and what liberals hate about it is the same, all those European powers with centuries of genocide slavery and colonialism, overtaken by a global south country. They sank our ships but lost the race.

White people who are marginalized (e.g. white women, white queer people, white ND people, etc.) be like:

Picking up with the last comment I made in the previous thread:

Just blocked this very confused/confusing white man on Instagram...

He posted a lot of stories promoting feminism and racial justice, but I always got this iffy virtue signal kinda vibe from the guy even from the beginning.

He overdoes his "white guilt" and "male guilt" to a point where you know he's trying really hard to win a "#oneofthegoodones" trophy.

But then today, he shared something that's totally off color.

I immediately blocked his ass. What the fuck!?

Im gonna log off for real but one last lol at a thread trying to address the zionism on here getting made and locked while I was sleeping

Yesterday my partner and I had another talk about when to have ''the racism conversation'' with our now 2 year old.

My partner was barely three years old when being warned about racism and exclusion works, which in hindsight protected them but made them anxious at times as well. I didn't had the conversation until my (pre-)teens, which kept me blissfully ignorant (thank gods for my slow wits lol), but also got me in some hairy situations. Probably we'll wait until the damned moment will be there before we break it to the kid, not sure about it yet though.

The older I get, the more childhood trauma abuse and neglect seems to catch up to me. You’d think it would be the opposite, but time seems to only exacerbate the wounds. Tried therapy, meditation, running away, coming back, running away again, surrounding myself with people, isolation, reading theory, radical action, while all these life experiences have brought me closer to myself and built my outward resilience, it feels like the internal pain has only gotten worse. It also just sucks knowing I’ve put in 100x the work and lived more genuinely than the vast majority of people (at least in the western world) but I still feel like an outcast that everyone would prefer to just wither away, I shouldn’t have had to work this hard. Like I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to carry on this way.. still just trying to take it a day at a time, because I know I deserve better, and I’m so bitter that giving up would mean they won and I just can’t have that
