Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Seeing the whole "Black Americans vs. Africans vs. Afro-Caribbeans" infighting thing online and looking at it like:

Discussions about colonialism should be put in the same level as discussion about the earth being flat or not, There's a clear scientific and real side and another one that is delusional but also racist.

Always the fucking lectures from white idiots who never picked up a book.

Repubs doing gerrymandering which is clearly racially motivated and many still treat this shit like a difference of opinion. The brainwashing is real.

Sometimes I’ll read posts in anglo-left spaces and realize I’m much more socially conservative compared to them. You could say I’m a product of my culture having lived in a small rural town for as long as I have. I make an effort to educate myself more with sites like this but occasionally I do come across some posts that make me reflexively roll my eyes.

All the news of ICE and shit is worrying my mom more and more, told her we're gonna look after each other but damn living in is awful.

Trying to recognize all the races from disco elysium is kind of a challenge but I'm getting it. Definitely stealing the phrase "ham sandwich race" that shit is so on point for

it was nice

I just saw an Instagram reel where a South Asian man, presumably one living in a Western country, spoke about the hardships of interracial dating, particularly being a POC dating a white person.

In the comments, a white woman responded to this post with something along the lines of, "I don't disagree, but, similarly, straight women experience all of these problems in the context of misogyny because men don't experience sexism, so they can't understand their struggles!", and it seemed like she was tokenizing WOC because she also added, "And Black women dating white men experience this twofold!" or some shit like that.

Here's the thing: the contents of her comment were not necessarily wrong, but I don't get good faith vibes from it. It seems like a typical derailment used by white women who cannot stand the thought of opposing oppression besides the ones they personally face. Her comment got over 200 likes or something around there, and there were 7 positive replies to it (usually just stuff like clapping emojis) before I had to be the 8th reply and the first to call it out. I got a fair amount of likes, but after I commented, I just muted notifications because I don't wish to engage further. It's not worth it.

But what I ultimately see as the beneficial takeaway of all of this is the validation of these key beliefs of mine:

1. My skepticism of most "leftists" is totally justified.
2. My skepticism of white people is totally justified.
3. My refusal to ever date out again is totally justified.

Sometimes, especially in this gaslighting white supremacist world, I feel like I'm being "dramatic" with said skepticism, but I'm beginning to know with more and more confidence that I'm really not.

So called least racist country

First. Have a great week, Comrades!

Idk if anyone follows Lacrosse but the Seneca Nation just acquired the Rochester Knighthawks. Pretty interesting development for them.

What do people think would be the safest areas to be in the US in the event of a nuclear attack, other than under your school desk?

I was thinking maybe some cities near the Canadian and Mexican borders since it's likely the other country wouldn't want to peripherally hit the other countries as well, but maybe once nukes start flying that type of calculation is off the table. I'm guessing midwest is fucked since they have silos in those areas, right? Hawaii and Puerto Rico are probably fine. Maybe some random places, National Parks and such?

Anyway, yeah, just some typical Monday doomsday hypotheticals!
