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?

A white man can not care to his own garden, he has to underpay a Mexican for it.
A white man can not care to his own crops, he has to enslave black people for it.
A white man can not build his own rails, he has to underpay Asian workers for it.
A white man can not start his own revolution, he has to wish that China would do it it.

What is the difference between westerners wanting Chinese soldiers who have their own lives, who have already sacrificed millions of themselves to fight Imperial Japan and create a revolution to drop all their work and leave their lives to go across the planet and save Maduro and risk a nuclear holocaust, and telling an American to go firebomb a Walmart?

ICE just murdered that lady government just lying about it and people getting more and more disgusted. I had a feeling this was gonna ramp up before too long. I don't quite know where it ends but part of me is relieved that people see the violence of the system so boldly. Also hopefully realizing how feckless democrats are, Walz could do something but nah Republicans were mean to him so he's gonna step down as people from his state are being murdered. Even if Trump started rounding up Democrats and offing them these fucks are so used to rolling over I doubt they could muster up anything.

Let people see amerikkka mask off the way poc always do the-deserter fucking take Greenland maybe the rest of the world will do something when it's white people on the line

You gotta hand it to the guy who killed a cop after they killed his son. He's an american hero.

I want to believe that thing that pushes people over the line, but it also just feels like too many of the people who do care about this are also too easily coopted by the Democrats no matter how many times they show themselves to be feckless fucks. Look at how BLM got coopted by the Democrats back in 2020 only for them to start saying shit like "defund the police" is too controversial. Shit, anyone with some semblance of object permanence should remember how hard Dem candidates were going into increasing funding for the police and securing our borders. Not that I want to be a doomer or even "realistic". Maybe I can have just a little revolutionary optimism. Every event like this is an event were more people wake up to our realities.

A truth white women don't like to hearWhite women played a very prominent and active role in slavery and historical oppression of Black people. They were not just usually "innocent bystanders who had a heart against it but were afraid to speak out." Not only that, but white women are still usually grotesquely oppressive and racist even today.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

When the wives of plantation owners see Black women picking cotton alongside Black men out in the field, instead of feeling any degree of compassion or even having the gears in their head turn that maybe women being the weaker more delicate gender is a crock of shit, they concoct some self-serving bullshit about how Black women can't feel pain.

I'd say the same goes with Israel, judging by their big ego.

There's a bunch of drama right now in my neighborhood between various white people and it's amazing how they all infantilize themselves while playing the victim.

Talk about Imperialism, This is imperialism, neither China nor Russia can or will barge into a country for no reason, kidnap a president then charge him for "POSSESSION OF A MACHINE GUN" without a single consequence happening, Russia can't take a second breath before being sanctioned.

They fucking did it! These blood thirsty war mongering gringo dogs have started their little war on Venezuela. Son una maldita bola de ladrones! Nothing but a bunch of goddamn thieves masquerading as world peacekeepers.

I am so fucking pissed off nothing but rage. At the same time my heart aches for the Venezuelan people. I'm terrified for them and all the death and destruction that will be brought down by the US. My despair is put at ease a bit knowing that they'll defend their country against these yankee invaders.

Qué viva la revolución bolivariana! Qué viva el pueblo Venezolano!

Seriously fuck this country. I was on a "fuck this country" after Abu Ghraib, later when Abdul al-Awlaki was killed. Again when Tamir Rice was murdered. Again when Breanna Taylor was murdered. Then George Floyd. Heather Hayer. The genocide in Palestine.

Wait I forgot what I was even on about. Did I ever not hate America? Maybe. But maybe I also only hate my past self for not hating the US since the day I was born. Every child's first words should be "Death to America. Unlimited blowback on the first world."

I remember hearing Delta force was the ones who got Maduro and hey it's a group of people I've read about agony-shivering reading is still good mind you but I remember what I do about them it's group of just jacked tatted white guys. Honestly any jacked tatted white dudes in latin america are most likely CIA so profile the fuckers.

Whitey try not to have a whitey moment here on Polyursine challenge level: impossible. Just deliberately being obtuse while strawmanning what PoC have been saying.

The biggest cope from white people about why they don't season their food is cause "we enjoy the natural taste of it and don't need extra seasonings and condiments to hide it" omfg

Beauty standards in America are weirdly focused on sharp, severely angled facial features. Round facial features, especially of darker skinned people, are being neglected in beauty shoots that make it on billboards.

I saw this woman with very round eyes and I thought, "She's the opposite of supermodel-looking. Is she ugly?.. No, she's quite pretty. What brainworms led me to suspect that she could be catagorized as ugly?"

Although I know it's not my fault I thought that, I'm still mad at myself. But I am more disappointed at how international luxury brands try to make every supermodel look "snatched" (as in presenting sharp, severe, angled features), especially with risky surgery, when round features are A-okay and another sort of beauty to be celebrated.

Round featured faces should be internationally represented in more glamour shoots. I'd like to see trends where people are accentuating roundness of the eyes with makeup. Atm idk what that looks like.

Maybe it's because I dont read magazines or go out much, but in the whole year of 2025, I can only recall one outdoor beauty advertisement showing a black woman with a round head, nose, and eyes.

Btw, the woman I met ended up being wonderful to hang out with. I feel betrayed by how beauty standards had me questioning her looks as one of my first thoughts of her.

I sometimes wonder what's in the mind of the traitors, Machados, Guaidos, Abu-Shababs and all the other nobodies, do they seriously believe what the U.S. tells them? that they're their favorite slaves?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Promises of personal wealth? Its all I could think of because they can't possibly have a desire to actually run a country given the long list of other compradors that got dropped at the bat of an eye once they were of no use to the US.
