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

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.

The most wonderful Black woman in the world sent me this, and it made my day. This is why I love her.

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.

Was wondering how Europe is capitulating to the U.S. so hard, almost feels ike magic involved, then I remember they're lead by a grand wizard.

the amount of racism in the discussion of Speed's Africa tour is actually crazy.

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

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.

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

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

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.
