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?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

What can I post?

[cw: crackers trying to get away with using slurs] i wonder if this happened in other people's high schools back in like 2009. there was one of those white kids who thought he was eminem and he was talking to his other eminem-american friend, and he was explaining how he figured out a way to "sound like they're saying the n word without actually saying it". "say 'nyuh', that way it sound kinda like it, but you aint actually saying it". later in class he dropped it a little bit louder then started looking around to see if any if the black kids heard it and were about to beat his ass. but yeah i'm just curious if those type of white dudes at anyone else's high school tried that. it's one of those things that seems like it would be really specific but turns out to be pretty universal

Ima start calling Trump "Liberal Jesus." Genocide in Palestine? A plot orchestrated by Trump in 2016 to make Biden look bad in 2020. Ukrainian-Russian War? Also orchestrated by Trump with Putin and totally not the result of the Obama administration in 2014.

Trump is going to be dead soon, for liberals will be the ones who kill him by placing all their sins on his shoulders.

"everyone is so sensetive these days" my guy there's a holocaust going right now and a bunch of racist police squads arresting non-whites

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago (4 children)

everyone is so sensitive these days

"Yeah! You can't even say fuck the police, all cops are bastards, fuck the military, fuck zionism, all white people benefit from white supremacy, Stalin did nothing wrong, Ho Chi Minh did nothing wrong, fuck Joe Biden, fuck Donald Trump, death to America, Tiocfaidh ár lá!"

Engaging with white leftists is always a coin flip of whether or not it makes me think maybe the third world maoist have a point because holy fuck only 1/10 don't make me think they all want to watch us die but take a photo op in the process to assauge the guilt.

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

they will have a struggle session over our massacres where the ones on the correct side of it get banned for being uncivil

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

I start the onboarding process for this transcription shit tomorrow... oh, gee, I hope this goes well. I'mma put in 1000%.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Liberals using the "well actually immigrants work far harder and are more skilled" as a take that to maga seem to miss the point that immigrants do so out of desperation and lack of options. Not to mention equating not complaining to anything but how often ICE and the like is threatening to anyone wanting to voice dangers and or work place harassment. Red Maga would have immigrants locked up/dead while Blue Maga would have them back to the shadows to keep the empire internally running

Remember when the people on this site made a big show of apologizing for their zionist tendencies and philosemitic supremacist moderation practices? I do.

Yet here we are. I suspect the plan is to just mistreat people until they disappear and then pretend everything is solved.

48 hours and no reply... the individual who purposefully made a big show of apologizing after I was banned. https://hexbear.net/comment/6556676

What do you think I should do comrades?

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I suspect the plan is to just mistreat people until they disappear and then pretend everything is solved.

Seems like it, since the last struggle session pointed out how the site's racism/zionism are systemic and there isn't anything being done to eliminate these problems from the mod team. Then I see mods/former mods carrying on their same behaviors or giving the same hottakes elsewhere on the site. They just wait until people forget or leave then go right back to having cracker brains.

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Didn't they say that they would re-promote the removed mods back to being mods on different accounts when it all died down? thinkin-lenin

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think that might have been from the leaked group chat the mods use outside of Hexbear?

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

right, that's what they say when they think they're alone and are being honest. Everything they post here is PR fluff. The point is they're unrepentant and refuse to accept criticism

[–] LoveYourself@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

Its not just mods either, its systemic. Although its more disappointing from that group because from the power dynamic and ability to just make people disappear. I guess I simply assumed this platform might be capable of addressing.

I see no reason to participate on this platform with other areas of content until or unless this liberal zionist rot is uprooted (or at the very least to not be punished for challenging it.)

Liberals fondly remembering Obama and ICE being more humane when the guy in charge of ICE now was appointed by Obama. Liberals should just do everyone a favor and take a hammer to their head not like they're using their memory or critical thinking skills anyway

[–] HexaSnoot@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"Fondly remembering Obama and ICE being more humane... back when the guy in charge of ICE now was appointed by Obama."

This would be good as text in a picture. I have no social media accounts though so oh well.

It's a shame the library in the town I was with the sweet park is so small. That town is way more chill in regards to cops. The other town they keep moving about and they annoy me.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

Is alright even when the cops be watching me all they get is me reading for hours on end very-smart there's this safety in reading I find because first I get so immersed in it I forget about my anxieties outside and I bet I just look so chill they don't suspect me of anything.

Just passed the first portion of the assessment for the job! This portion just required me to answer a bunch of multiple choice questions. I only ended up having one attempt, and I succeeded!

The next part will require me to do an actual transcription sample, and once I pass that, I'm with the job for real!

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

Just finished the 2nd and last part of the assessment... I shall get an answer, soon.

This is it. Hoping real hard.

🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿

Craqueers love getting really upset when QTPOC don't automatically trust them to not be racist as fuck

Going back home to my country after a 4 year stint. But unlike before, there is no confirmation if I’ll ever get the chance to come back.

Closes a chapter of this whole story.

I know I’ll do alright back home, I have lived there recently enough and so everything is still familiar, but I am still a bit upset because I finally have this semblance of security where I was, but again I have to move countries, with no plans for the future.

Young adult aimlessness and angst. But this time I’m letting it carry me forward - we’ll see where it’ll go.

to introduce inclusivity we will now have grand witches in our klan

The isolated track for what might be my proudest solo from the album.

That brief chordal portion around 13 seconds in has to be my favorite part, but I feel like I went hard on the whole thing, honestly.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

My mom's asking me if I can find her one of those phone cards so I can call to mexico but I'm gonna be honest idk if there a thing still or what. Still gonna go out to the mexican groceries and see what I find

Getting my UTI checked, for those counting it's been 2 months. But my symptoms didn't get worse so that could be good. I'm just tired of peeing

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Ugh I know that feeling (I get UTIs too from catheterization). Lately, they've been getting more frequent due to a medication I'm on. It's either more frequent incontinence or more frequent bladder infections.

Whoever invented the human body is a shithead.

Just finished filling out the onboarding paperwork, such as the direct deposit forms and whatnot, for this job.

I almost feel at a disbelief at how close it seems I am to having a damn job, but I still gotta pass this assessment (which is open-book, thankfully).

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

What's AI? I sent my estranged dad a picture of my toilet and he sent me the parts and steps to fix it.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)
