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?

I recall Tarantino tried to also complain, and I'm paraphrasing, "Bruce Lee wanted to use real, hard force in his fighting moves against stuntmen, during choreographed fights" {note: this is typical in HK kung fu movie production, not limited to Bruce Lee}

Like what are :cracker: proving? That HK kung fu fighters and even their stuntmen are the real deal, when it comes to giving and taking blows to and from others?

Then tarantino says cliff would have killed bruce lee in a fight because hes a world war vet. Mate bruce lee was a competitive boxer and would have gone far. He's one of the most influential figures of mixed martial arts. Hell hes had legit fights with other martial artists that he's won like wong jack man. More white male fantasy shit. How many soldiers even really used close combat? There was that American dude in the North korean war but other than that? They're tough but their training is mostly split in weapons etc. See videos of navy seals sparring pros its embarrassing.

Hell look at jackie chan movies. Those hits were fuuuuucking hard. Like his fights against benny the jet urquidez that shit had nasty blows from the takes. The speed they went at was insane. Hollywood is not sniffing a lightyear of the atyleticism, coordination, speed of that kind not even with all the slow motion and camera cuts they use in movies. And before joining those stunt teams you had to be extremely proficient at martial arts.

Jackie Chan breaking his foot from that jump he did for Rumble in the Bronx is proof of his abilities. Not only did he make that jump, anyone else would have died even trying to do it. There's problems with actors doing there own stunts, but holy shit Jackie Chan does all his own stunts lmao

Facts. To this day idk how jackie is still alive. In armour of god he fell from a tree, fractured his skull and a piece of bone pierced his brain. He should have died on that set. The guy is straight up superhuman.

he also said he wanted to join the Communist Party of China

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah thats why a lot of these Americans in the martial arts scene were mad at him because his father I think opposed the CPC if I remember right

Imagine WWIII happens and China air drops one soldier at Pensylvania... and it's Jackie Chan

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

He reminds me a bit of that clown kakarot. If thats the case....... vegeta-stare

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

And Jackie was taking hits before he was a star too. Famously was knocked out by Bruce Lee himself, what an honor.

What an honor indeed

Lmmfao fam I heard of that story and I'm like... Okay that makes sense. No shame. Jackie legit wanted a real fight with benny the jet. Benny the jet was a beast in kickboxing. Undefeated for years
