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’m always a little suspicious when I see alleged poc leftists on Reddit who claim to be from the global south while ranting about Western-leftists nonstop and every AES country. All while propping up Anarchists as the leftists who actually get things done.

I have plenty of issues with leftists from the global north and do sometimes find the blind China optimism annoying, but these guys seem to realllly be bothered by it.

Chuds getting mad now that a video game removed the British colonial helmet, I was going to ask them if they'd feel the same if the game had a Nazi helmet, then I remembered they would.

So much colonialism is just accepted as a wholesome, normal thing. American "Wild West" as though millions of Native Americans weren't already living there before they were systemically eradicated. British colonialism. The Scramble for Africa. Spanish "conquest" of the New World.

This shit was exactly the same stuff we're seeing in Palestine and what happened in WWII. The only difference is Americans didn't live stream themselves scalping little kids to collect a bounty.

it's the thing that white people will never understand about colonialism, the reason that we can't sit down and enjoy shit and "stop making everything political" is that everything is political and everything has a prejudice against us.

"this hat has nothing to do with colonialism! anyhow here's a picture larping as a colonizer wearing it"

You know, you could pull up 1930s Nazi propaganda posters and show them to abled cis white people and they'll agree with it.

Me when a wh*te leftist tells me, "I hate my own race so much that I don't even date 'em!"

cringe Is that supposed to be you expressing that you're an "ally" to me?

out of all people whites should be keeping to themselves instead of travelling to become sexpats on every non white country they go to

It would be so much easier to unite if our own damn people weren't fueling the fire.

I half think trump is going extra authoritarian not just to drum up his base support and hide his Epstein ties, but to provoke the "libs" into doing 2020 style protest so they can start shooting

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Figuring out some choice chisme and wanting to share it is so damn good, gives me something to look forward to. In retrospect it makes so much sense and I feel like a smarty pants for figuring it out catgirl-smug it involves my friend group I'll only tell one of them tonight the rest can figure out on their own

Got another interview on Tuesday.... hope that goes well. A comrade told me that this nearby vegan bakery is hiring, too, so I went ahead and sent in my resume.

The vegan bakery emailed me to set up an interview!

I've been enjoying carne de soya a lot recently, 4 dollars a largish bag basically textured vegetable protein if anyone interested. Go to is sauteed an onion, mushrooms, and some carrots. Add some sauces like BBQ and chilli into it and water and finally mix the stuff in. I make a solid amount and I add some ground flax seed in to thicken it up.

I recently learned that the woman who sings the song All Around the World (Lisa Stansfield) is white, and the shock still hasn't worn off yet.

white people who do fake jokey racism would be publicly racist if it was more socially acceptable

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It’s all just a joke until you make fun of their nonracial immutable trails.

Talk about their dicks and suddenly they’ve got a PHD in sociology and are captain woke

Is it against the terms of use here to call other people on this platform "braindead"? Asking because I dont like being called braindead.

I like the banner of Ansarallah, but I disagree with some points, for example how the list of death isn't long enough.
