Remember, EM POC only!

One year of Palestinian resistance…

I want liberation for all of the marginalized who still remain chained up by their oppressors.

That aside, of course, I’m hoping for some happy EM POC vibes this week!

I’m trying this new approach to my issues called the “thug that shit out” approach. Let’s see how it goes!

Apparently it’s too much for some Hexbear crackers to allow people to be angry at libs for supporting the genocide of brown people. We need to show libs patience and to touch grass and ground ourselves while a genocide on our comrades and friends and families happens. They cannot do wrong, they can only be wronged. The Zionist project has nothing to do with Nazism. This is all just a big misunderstanding.

Some fucking people here, for real.

Also, and as a general statement, I have never called for anyone to be executed. I’ve only ever called for people to get time-out in a pit and self-crit together.

I got a sneaking suspicion one of them is that dude who malds at people using the word “cracker.” Whatever. Hexbear always had a mayo problem. And I don’t see that changing anytime soon because there’s way too many white people here.

You know, for a USian leftist social media website whose target demographic are zoomers and millennials, the fact that white people are a supermajority instead of a slight minority is disgraceful. White people don’t even form the majority of USian zoomers. And once you screen out the (mostly white) Christofascists and (mostly white) white nationalists, the percentage of US zoomers who are white drops even further. But over here on Hexbear dot net, the percentage of white posters is probably on par with UK zoomers who are white. Cool if this is a British site, but not so cool since it’s an USian site.

Honestly, yeah, I never thought about it like that but that makes this problem generally so much fucking worse. My God, that’s depressing. Haha

I don’t have any idea how to remedy that. I’m just glad we have this space at least. Unlimited gratitude to @Angel@Hexbear.net and @Othello@Hexbear.net!

Lol I think I know exactly what you’re referring to. Always get annoyed when someone talks like they’re somehow superior because they think they’re the only one interacting with the outside world.

So fucking obnoxious. Sneering like the one true Communist and sounding more and more like a defensive White lib every sentence.

It’s a shame that was locked so quickly, honestly. That would’ve exposed some cracker demons like the other struggle session exposed misogyny.

I missed it and went to your comments to see what was being talked about. I think I saw what comments you were talking about. Holy shit the pearl clutching lmao

When you talk about doing something with “No apologies for the terror,” if you don’t preface your statement, they all of a sudden have reasons for not having any terror. And like the typical lib, it falls on us to patiently educate whitey instead of whitey changing their view. Or at the very least, not doing genocide.

It’s not my responsibility to debate and convert libs. It’s their responsibility to change their positions before they get got.

Obama admin fought to lower the minimum wage in Haiti. Remember this along with others the next time he tries to lecture black Americans with the "yo y’all " accent. https://www.businessinsider.com/wikileaks-haiti-minimum-wage-the-nation-2011-6?r=US&IR=T

My town gets all the weirdest expats. There’s this blond Lithuanian woman who seemingly has a fetish for buff brown men, because she’s always seen fooling around with them.

Anyway, today she was wearing a hoodie and baggy pants. Somebody asked her why she was wearing that in 21 (70F) degree weather and she responded, “because I’m a n-word” with the hard R in full English.

English isn’t my first language and I’m a little self-conscious about my writing style in English. Part of me feels that it’s a little juvenile and unrefined.

Oh noo, that wasn’t what I intended by my message. English is my second language too. I just found it entertaining and endearing (minus the actual content lol) but I think your writing is great

I think it’s really sad there are still BIPOC in America and “The WEST™©®” as a whole that don’t see what’s happening in Palestine as nothing but a more modern and extreme version of what happened to us. To me it just shows are a real lack of historical understanding. It just bums me out that there still BIPOC who buy into idea they will get into :“The club” if they just parrot what white liberals tell them.

One of the few true bars Michael Render ever spit, even if they make seven figures, they still what? They’ll learn. One way or another, the crackers will strip them of their illusions; because the crackers can’t help but lose track of their masks these days.

Exactly! EXACTLY! It’s really just plain saddening that katz still buy into that after its been proven time and time again once the way they mistreat people over “there” (whereever that may be) is exactly how they will justify mistreating you.

hi, i was with friends (not mine, friends of a friend) playing dnd and it was uncomfortable with the n*zi references.

i get it’s typical stuff, but knowing the people are largely of german heritage and transphobic/misogynistic then having their in-game team called the ‘SS’ is whack.

it really was not funny and i had no clue how to even express my distaste. i stopped playing with them, they kept making n*zi references it was disturbing.

i’d wanna express my thoughts some of the time but yeah i sorta felt ashamed for some reason :/

I’ve been into tabletop wargames for over 20 years, including literal WWII games with people playing actual nazis, and even they understood nazis were evil and not something you want to imitate.

When you larp as nazis, especially in a game not centered around WWII, suggests serious Anglo brainworms.

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?

  • This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be “white” but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you’ve experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.

  • Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are “white” but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.

What can I post?

  • Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
  • Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

  • [People of Spice]: Food recipes so others can taste your culture
