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?

William Frank Jr., born on this day in 1931, was an indigenous environmental leader and treaty rights activist known for his use of the "fish-in", a civil disobedience tactic used to win indigenous rights to natural resources.

A Nisqually tribal member, Frank is particularly known for his grassroots campaign for fishing rights on the tribe's Nisqually River. Frank was arrested more than 50 times in the "Fish Wars" of the 1960s and 1970s because of his intense dedication to the treaty fishing rights cause.

The tribal struggle was taken to the courts in "U.S. v. Washington", with federal judge George Hugo Boldt issuing a ruling in favor of the native tribes in 1974. The "Boldt Decision" established the 20 treaty Indian tribes in western Washington as co-managers of the salmon resource with the State of Washington, and re-affirmed tribal rights to half of the harvestable salmon returning to western Washington.

Huh, guess that was all it took to set the local hwytes off howling about the savage muslamics attacking the enlightened west

Just because my place of worship host events for the idf and fundraises for the Idf and does birthrites for isreal and teaches kids to feel the strongly for isreal and sells land in the place being colonized doesn't mean we are guilty parties in the genocide

Not a single Jewish person died in the zionist synagogue attack and we'll never hear the end of how innocent children shouldn't be harmed but the 160 murdered Iranian children is old news.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also the synagogue organized funding events for israel, its not crazy to point out that someone grieving for his families death will blame an institution closely related to the country that killed his family

Also the synagogue organized funding events for israel

Always got to leave that part out of the discourse because ??? I saw some of the early replies saying that he shouldn't have attacked a synagogue, but if its providing material support to the entity then it is a legitimate target. Fuck any and all institutions that prop up "Israel".

The man responsible for the attack posted on instagram pics of family members he lost in Lebanon in an israeli attack including young children but somehow people will say israel is needed for the safety of jews and not the main reason for antisemitism.

How many white “leftists” are basically just this guy? Community service… unless you’re brown, then I will murder you

It’s for the college money though so you can die happy!

Probably somewhere from a majority to a supermajority, judging by how many of them are invading my feed turning this dead murderer into some kind of victim. “But but but he was only an IT specialist!!!!!!!” Literal Nuremberg trial defense attorney type shit. One wonders how they find time to say this shit when they’re so busy calling genocide victims literally Hitler for hurting white Jewish feelings

This legitimately pissed me tf off when I first saw it because I just KNOW that the shitlibs and chuds are now going to use this guy to do even more apologism for the US military, ad infinitum ad nauseam, just like they do with the "poverty draft" and "they were innocent smol beans who didn't know what they were doing!" The fact that this guy signed up to kill brown people abroad is never even going to set in for so many people. This shit makes me so mad omg

what do they think an IT specialist does in a military? literally "I just turn up the ovens I killed no one"

If Hitler had stuck to just killing nonwhites liberals would be calling Nazi Germany a “flawed democracy”

When will people understand that saying things like "Real men respect women" or "Real men aren't afraid to show their emotions" is just "woke" toxic masculinity

We have gotten to a point where I see people, especially in the Black community, saying shit like "abusing and disrespecting women is what a feminine man does" or calling awful, sexist men "DL" as some sort of a corollary to this kind of shit

you're actually gay if you're homophobic type beat

The way liberals talk about the Iran war like "Trump wants you to pay attention to THIS instead of the Epstein issue" is like such a smugly dismissive attitude to take about people being fucking slaughtered overseas and an entire nation's sovereignty being violated. Very close to just saying "Please don't care about those savage BROWN people being blown up and crippled by our military, that's soooo unimportant and just a distraction!"

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I have yet to have anyone point out what they realistically believe would happen to Trump if all the files were released. Do they really believe in the justice system that much? Or hell, thay the Democrats would actually do anything resembling bringing justice to the victims?

Speaking of which, I've also seen people trying to bring this all back to Russiagate just because Trump is pulling back some of the sanctions on Russian oil. Its like these people go out of their way to make all of this about the anglosphere instead of the suffering of brown people.

I never read Christopher Dorner's manifesto before but I'm glad I did now. It's so good, there's no such thing as justice and I hate pretending there's a just path.

The U.S. foreign bases aren't there to protect the people of any nation or even their ruling classes, they're there to proctect investments.

The androgyne double bind:

  • If I say nothing about my gender, people will still bring it up because they feel entitled to know "what" I am and ask intrusive questions.

  • If I outwardly clarify my gender, I will get accused of being attention-seeking and "too woke."

Can't win!

CW// cannibalismsometimes I look back to the start of the SMO in Ukraine and compare the reactions to nowadays, this time I'm remembering how in the first months a Ukrainian guy cooked bones he found inside of a tank and ate it, later turned out to be an Ukrainian tank, remember how reddit's reaction was to pictures of dead Russian conscripts, how they explained their depravity with fighting back as their logic. Then I compare it to Iran and Gaza that after 3 years of this genocide, the only group committing atrocities are the zionists and the Americans, I saw no Gazan climb up a Merkava and eat a human, I saw no resistance fighter shoot up a school. the resistance, Hamas, PIJ, PFLP, IRGC, Hizbullah, Ansarallah all get endlessly condemned even by "leftists", the spineless response "yes they're fighting israel but the resistance commits crimes" and some clowns that even consider the martyrs and heroes to be akin to Netenyahu and Trump.

We as colonial subjects do not get the privilege of excuses to our actions, especially for our good deeds. Our enemy is a demon, if you don't stand firm against it, don't stand firm against the ones fighting it and claim to be righteous.

Recently a local queen rage quit because they were dragged by their fellow colonizers for wearing a 3C wig a la Rachel Dolezal.

Then rage quit. Other than the colonial hegemon crumbling under resistance, its been the highlight of my week so far.

So tired of white westerners telling me "nerd the problem is humans/religion actually"

No. Fuck you. YOU are the problem. The Native Americans who suffered genocide and systematic extermination were not the problem, the Arabs who faced a century of occupation and suffering were not the problem, the Latin Americans who suffered under fascist dictatorships backed by the west weren't the problem. The Iranians/Palestinians who die en masse today are not the problem, and neither are the workers in sweatshops in overexploited countries.

IMPERIALISM AND CAPITALISM are the problem. Don't speak for me or the global majority who suffered, stop projecting the crimes of the west on us.

White "marxists" will shit on poc marxists who might be religious (but not fundamentalists or bigots) cause "how can you have a dialectical material (based) worldview yet believe in a god?" as if it's impossible for humans to be complex and even hold conflicting beliefs harder then they do on racist atheist/agnostic "marxists". Only about 2 in every million white people will ever be meaningful allies to us, any poc.

EDIT: And yes, organized religions can be and often are extremely reactionary and need to be dealt with, what I mean in this comment specifically is individual beliefs of your average joe who might just be culturally religious even not entire systems who support capitalism and oppression and need to be abolished for once and for all. Alienating a worker cause they're religious is alienating the vast majority of the global south, whether white leftists wanna acknowledge that or not. Only then can we have actual talks about religion and the harm it can bring and how to best deal with it in an effective way that won't backfire or create a backlash.
