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.

Hello nerds 
hope you all have a good first week of december
Remember no crackers
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.
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
Happy cake day thelastaxolotl!
Happy cake day comrade!
Love y'all
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.
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
yep just like George Floyd, Daniel Shaver, Breonna Taylor and all of the other people the pigs killed just 5 years ago
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.
It took how many years before body cams were a thing 
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
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
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
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.
yeah, this was confirmation for me as well. i always figured they were probably thinking some shit but then seeing it confirmed like that on fb lmao. honestly it sucks but i can't help but laugh. these boomers specifically are ridiculous bc they bought their house in this neighborhood when shit costed nothing. my room mates and i probably each pay more a month to live here than they ever paid for their mortgage but they wanna act like somehow we don't belong here
I thought people were exaggerating, white people are really like that
Big up to ishowspeed but the fact that he is breaking some programming on the absolute dross that people believe about China and Africa is a horrifying indictment. Propaganda is a mf
FBA clowns seething rn
Then they will call you "tether'' or some shit. Meanwhile they getting shout outs from Tucker carlson. Its never a good sign getting big upped by chuds
Its so ironic that they'd call anyone a "tether" when they're tethering themselves to people that would love to have a bunch of black folks tethered to them by way of slave ownership
Nothing has brought me joy more than seeing Charlie Kirk get clowned on for several months after his death
I'm almost sad he's gone cause he can't see us all laughing about it
Nah I don't wanna see his fookin' face.
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
man, sybau
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 
My "western chauvinist fascist" alarms start going off whenever I see someone going all :frothing-fash: 
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.
