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?

we rent a house in a cracker ass neighborhood with an overbearing HOA and a bunch of middle aged/elderly white people with nothing going on in their lives

i went for a walk the other night, then the next morning i look at the neighborhood fb group and see a post a neighbor made about how some guy wandered onto their porch. anyway this woman replies in the comments about how our area is supposedly “becoming unsafe” (its not) and how her husband told her he saw “someone walking in a hoodie at 11 last night”. that someone was me. i saw her husband pulling in while i walked by and thought to myself “god i hope this mf doesnt talk to me”. he didnt. apparently he went inside and immediately told his wife there was someone walking down the street. suspiciously wearing a hoodie in 45 degree weather. also i want to point out it was closer to 10 but she specifically claimed 11 bc it sounds scarier lmfao

I thought people were exaggerating, white people are really like that

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

This is exactly what I wonder they're doing when I walk around the neighborhood with my dog at night wearing a hoodie. And I bet they are doing just that. Frankly, any cracker who slows down or stops and stares, I stare right back until they leave - because if you're going to suspect, back it up with your words. You don't get to suspect quietly and in cowardice.

However I don't live in the US so the likelihood of being gunned down for standing up for myself is next to zero. The fact that some cowardly little cracker could do that there makes me sick, because that's all they are without their guns.

cw: transphobic awkwardnessI just had to deal with the very unpleasant situation of hearing someone I know talk shit about trans people, but he believes that I am a cis woman. I never took time to "correct" him, nor do I think I will, so this was hella awkward.

Black folks been telling people about America for a while. People did not listen. People in the global south been saying what America is about and all mfs heard was "death to America " and they did not heed warnings.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yup. ICE isn't anything new. They've been doing this shit for decades. There was even that picture of a detention center under Obama people thought was Trump. Then you see stuff like the Rodney King beating, the assassination of Fred Hampton, the murder of Emmett Till, and how all of these events have a direct line to slavery and the enforcement of slavery through state violence. It's like "What country you from where you didn't think this was normal?"

Now that there's video cameras everywhere and white people are increasingly becoming the targets of that same violence, they starting to freak out over things the rest of us realized a long ass time ago.

The worst part? This will be memory holed again and people will act like its a bad memory

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the problem. George Floyd was killed just 5 years ago, but people just act like it was ages ago. And they act like shit like that didn't just keep on happening. It took a brazen murder by an ICE agent for people to remember that the agents of the state can act with impunity. But hell, I've seen people even go as far as to act like the police are the good guys now as if most of the time they don't work hand in hand with ICE.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

It took how many years before body cams were a thing i-cant Cop city not a thing anymore? Trained by Israel not a thing anymore? Cops already sided with ICE and would likely threaten mass resignation like last time if told to inconvinience ICE

My "western chauvinist fascist" alarms start going off whenever I see someone going all :frothing-fash: frothingfash about killing Muslims, even when "but they're religious zealots!" is the excuse.  Whatever the excuse, it still disgusts me.

The most charitable guess I can hazard is to suspect this KKKracKKKer was making the very common western atheist anti-christian mistake of generalizing his experience of being oppressed by Christianity and then applying that to a completely different religious, cultural, and political context.  That's an explanation, not an excuse.

The white guy got :multiple sexual assault charges, several felonies in office, impeached twice, cited multiple times as a pedo in the ledgers of the most famous pedo in the world.... The fucking Jordan of pedos, increased the deficit by record number, done that goofy insurrection which he pardoned several members and put them into his own personal Gestapo, bankruptcy 6 times, starts illegal wars, funds genocides and threatens to invades allies..... Is crying about reverse discrimination.

Mfs are fucking up their own country and the rest of the planet for an orange nonce on account of their whiteness talking about reverse discrimination walter-breakdown

Been feeling really hopeless about this job hunt so I called this close friend to talk about it...

We discussed this a bit in the past, but he told me that he is absolutely willing to help me get a CNA cert. We're both gonna do some research and see what CNA programs are out there, and he said that he'd be willing to pay for a program that can ideally get me certified and working within a matter of weeks.

I love him a lot for everything

Mandem are pro Iranian people (that whole hate the govt not the peoplr thing libs do... But don't actually do) but big up the sanctions that will hit them the hardest. I mean man do know the purpose of sanctions and why they are deadly right? Surely thats-why-im-confused

[–] puppygirlpets@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

a lot of them just don't follow down the chain of causality. they see "we will not let x country import food" and "people in x country are starving to death" as entirely unrelated events. to do otherwise would give them cognitive dissonance so they just ignore it.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ssriously its siege warfare essentially. This isn't some light boycott of starbucks or some shit. The level of dissonance involved is baffling. Then they say "oh its just doing it to the elites and their holdings" nah not in this case it isn't. And many others

Talking with my mom and reflecting on violence it's always been a case of self defense being seen as bad and feeling bad for doing it. It's always a case of the oppressor using fighting words or direct actions of harassment to get us to lash out and them crying and hiding as the victims while we get brutalized. I'm lucky enough my size and strength have kept me from fights but honestly if I'm to be punished for defending myself regardless I'm damn sure gonna bring the pain.

The past month has taught me that the exchange rate is apparently 2 whites = 1000000 Palestinians.

The fucking gall of these crackers to still be on their bullshit about their genocide cop candidate. The. Fucking. Gall. “If only it was Kamala and not Trump in charge of murdering Palestinians, then ICE would still only be disappearing nonwhites.” That’s what I hear. When US agents do the same thing millions of times over to nonwhites overseas, they are heroes and their victims are terrorists for resisting.

Truly absolutely and completely irredeemable dregs of humanity.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If the shooter was in Afghanistan, Iraq or several other conflicts doing what these agents are doing he'd be getting a commendation and probably run for office successfully. Kamala talking about ICE being a murderous occupation while doing absolute genocide. Hell her admin INCREASED funding for ICE thats-why-im-confused

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Disciplining the uppity minorities for disobeying their orders to vote for genocide will always be more important to crackers than reality.

For all they mock ICE copaganda press releases they sure love falling hook, line and sinker for it when the US military takes that same press release and does find + replace with it.

They see 2 public executions and think "how can i make this about Kamala??"

Blue Maga is a cult

also another thing, the mom wasnt the first person ICE shoot this year, it was an african american man, and there was zero protest for him by the libs

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

under Kamala and Biden a girl got shredded by a Tank, but that was in Gaza so to liberals it's okay.

And Kamala along other Dems increased the budget of ICE and they will fucking do it again. i-cant Blm protests what did biden do? Increase the police budget. Before that clintons did what? The crime bill that helped them have 20% of the world's prison population thats-why-im-confused Then you got a tooooooon of liberal black folks that cape for these guys and their every action. They get shocked when a lot of black folks seemingly broke ranks with em and I don't even mean the ones that went MAGA who were a tiny percent

When you look up the dictionary definition for “ghoul” it’s just a picture of these people

Inside every cracker there is Adolf Hitler

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and another thing, there are people disappeared in the concentration camps and also a few deads this year but also no protest about them, only about the militarize police, which are also bad but its very telling how they only care about whats visible and not the camps

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

If they did, they would have to get into who opened the camps and who voted to keep funding them. Plus, they’re not white enough to warrant caring about. If you pressed them on it they would probably imply that if Kamala was in power then it would only be the untermenschen getting disappeared instead of killing whites in the street.

Even though I understand why it exists, this line of thought never fails to fill me with white hot rage each and every time I see it:

White fascist thug kills white person

“How can I blame murdered Palestinian children for this?”

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Honestly I see optimism from some on this site that this will radicalize several and that is true for some but I've seen mad amounts of americans downplaying even the Canada threats and thats wild to me. Even a site like resetera a ton of Canadian posters got banned because they were pissed off at Americans for this shit. Now imagine i-cant

Me on interracial couples normally: "So long as there is no fetishism, internalized racism, or anything else unhealthy going on, I don't see an issue with it!"

Me on interracial couples after seeing the posts they make on social media:

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you have time? Because the horror stories I've seen. Like there are those who are just normal then there are others

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do tell!

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Now this one isn't necessarily social media post but good lord. Woman I know was with white guy for a long time. She from south africa and so is he. Already I can hear the alarm bells go off in your head and you'd be right. Come engagement time the father of the guy owned farmland. Yeah more alarm bells. So the father outright said "if you marry a k word you will not inherit a dime from me". They stuck it inspite of it but eventually they drifted apart. She was on that apartheid apologism as well minimizing how bad it was considering she never lived through it. All I can say is picard Just fucking picard

Interracial relationships are either normal ones (usually if both parties have done their share to unlearn racist propaganda and have a liberationist pov) or just plain train wrecks and I say this as someone who is in one. Then again both my partner and I are mixed.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

My granddad was a white guy who married a Chinese woman he met in Taiwan while he was deployed there with the navy, so you can already guess how 80% of this story goes. He spent the next several decades up until his death becoming obsessed with China, became a China studies professor, etc. From what I've heard from my dad the household was an abusive disaster and one parent pulling a knife on the other wasn't a rare occurrence. Literally every time I ever met him he would be demanding constant praise from whoever he was talking to for having solved racism, and in his own words having "cured racial hatred in my family for at least the next 5 generations."

Like damn, I guess his dementia must have made him forget about how 80% of my family is indulging in some form of self-hatred and doing purification-of-the-bloodline type shit, and how all my cousins became servant-of-the-empire foreign service freaks who all eventually wound up as ghouls working in the DC foreign policy circle.
