I usually pull my punches a bit IRL, but if anyone brings up the joke that was made about Puerto Rico at the Trump rally yesterday I'm straight up going to say that any pasty white boy that calls Puerto Rico trash when his country has had a direct hand in impoverishing it should go fucking die in a ditch. Word for word what I'm going to say because I know that its going to come up at some point. I'm fucking tired and irritated by American politics.

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?
-
Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

It's the exact same energy as when I hear Euros degrade nations in Africa and the Caribbean, as if colonialism hadn't haunted these places for ages.
Forgive me for 
but this song's lyrics now resonate with me, after hearing that racist remark
"Ang sarap na pugutan ng ulo kung sinuman ang t*nginang nagsabi ng 'Basta Gapo abno' "
translation
It'd be nice to behead the motherfucker who said that Olongapo is just a shithole
The innate honkey desire to belittle and control other people's religions

i know it's probably a good idea to leave my school's discord server (full of blue no matter who white libs) but i feel compelled to stay there and keep arguing with them. like, it's not even that i think i'm going to change their minds. it's that i feel like i just can't let the absolutely ghoulish stuff they say slide without presenting some challenge to it.
Arguing with westerners is an exercise in frustration
I'm proud to be black. 
Overcoming internalized racism has been such a hassle for me, but honestly, have you seen cracKKKers? Fuck 'em. If for nothing else, I'm owning up to black pride out of spite, but I see value in rejecting all the shame that snow roaches and bleach demons have tried to thrust upon me.

I just drove a fucking bus onto the freeway ama
Woo, how's it?
Very intense, the bus is only governed to 65, so everyone's blasting you going 85mph. But this sounds weird, but the bus shrinks in the mirrors. Only when you return to the yard do you realize "holy crap I drove this massive machine"

the white people at my school are deeply unserious. a whole saga has happened this past week that i don’t have the energy to relate right now, but it’s mostly just solidified that i want nothing to do with the vast majority of white people here.
if your not in a party you shouldn't call yourself a communist
Racism being a bonding process from youth to adulthood for sooooo many and being used as a shit test poc to see if they can be in their inner circle and how much shit they can put up with. Very annoying
White people stop trying me. This guy did not get out of the way when I said excuse me and when he decided to move he went the way I was coming. So I kept going the way I was going and we had to collide. Piss me off. I'm moving into my impatient era and proud of it.
Fuck them I hope they burn 🙏🙏🙏
This guy did not get out of the way when I said excuse me and when he decided to move he went the way I was coming.
Real... huh... some people deserve airhorn for an alarm, like that.
You can always tell when a person of color wishes they were white, they fucking reek of self hatred
Meanwhile I'm like the exact opposite lol. I wish I didn't have this half white bullshit to deal with. It's really not that great. It's like half my family is just walking, talking racism machines I constantly have to deal with. Just a barrage of settler-colinialist shit.
But when I'm amongst the PoC half of my family, all that disappears. I don't have to deal with the entitlement or persecution complexes or willful ignorance. There's still some brainworms stemming from liberalism and a lack of theory, but it's much easier to interact with than reactionary, white supremacist ideology.
Training has gotten really busy and intense.
The agency has a really high expectation of me and do does my family, I'm nervous but confident.
Just trying not to cry
Keep calm and carry on, tovarshi. If there's a clear work pattern, follow it

diwali in leicester is awesome, you walk through random streets and you just see people lighting fireworks in the middle of the street

And they just kept doubling down on asking about what you already told them to go do.
:doomer:
Don't worry, whites expect you to spoon feed them everything going on in the US, too. That is, if they listen at all. Can't even get most of them to read Letter from a Birmingham Jail despite it being...a letter written in one night from a jail cell.

Is white supremacy supposed to ooze from the words of every mayo monkey you ever have the displeasure of interacting with?
Is this a bug or a feature?
And it takes so much more time and effort to "fix" their thinking. So, so much bullshit fuckery it's like it would be easier to erase their memories and start their education over from scratch.
The older I get, the more I understand Stalin's purges and China's Cultural Revolution.
Whitexicans during the prez elections became channeler of pure hitler particles when Sheinbaum won, they did antisemitism, anti-indigenous racism and more only to act like victims a week later
Is white supremacy supposed to ooze from the words
Yep, especially but not exclusively to Euro-Amerikkkans, and their European counterparts... after all,
Inextricable from racial subordination, whiteness has no other content at all: whiteness is what’s left in the melting pot after everything else has been burned away. Without that xenophobic fire, it has no meaning, no substance, no fundamental.
If you take away a white person’s ability to live as the undisputed master of the universe—to take his own experience as normal and privileged, and to presume all others to be debased copies of his own primary existence—then you take away his whiteness. His heart will fall to the ground and he will not be able to lift it up again. After that, nothing will happen: whiteness will be dead.
SO yeah
mayo monkey
cumsKKKins...
