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?

Because I recently had to crumple up a cracKKKa who wandered into this community, uhh, let me be clear:

EM POC ONLY


Thank you. With that aside, welcome to this week's featured EM POC thread.

How are all my comrades doing?

I'm not sure if it was a liberal or Trumper (the fact I can't tell is damning in itself) yelling outside of my building about getting out to vote and started yelling "Its deportation time"visible-disgust

Curious if any other trans people share this sentiment with me but the whole trans thing ended up being a lot less big of a deal than I thought

It's infinitely easier for me to find cis people who are cool with me being trans than Americans who aren't weird about me being a minority

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Due to the nature of intersectionality, I feel as if discrimination against my blackness and my transness are already usually meshed together as one thing anyway. Sometimes, it just seems like one side of the two is emphasized far more than the other, but ultimately, to answer your question to the best of my ability: I'm generally far more comfortable hanging out with black cishet people than I am doing so with white trans/queer people.

White queens fantasizing about how this will be worse for them than the actual genocide they've been ignoring

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

White queers should just ignore Trump the same way they ignore intersectionality. It's that easy!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (4 children)

One randomly decided to lie to me today and said "thousands of people have committed suicide" since the election.

I looked it up in front of them and then they changed it to "it might have been attempts" then "the hotlines were overwhelmed"

They literally get off on this shit, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been murdered and they don't care but just make shit up about how they're being oppressed when trump isn't even president yet???

Here we go with blame the poc

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I hate this country. If it not with the blame it's other ones like I saw some takes where some are like "enjoy deportation" and like what the fuck. I would like to see those shitheads go tell that to me or my dad or grandma.

White people love using terms they don't know the meaning of

YOU CANT HAVE INTERNALIZED RACISM IF YOURE WHITE YOURE JUST FUCKING RACIST

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Liberals love to regurgitate leftist words so they can appear """"enlightened, engaged, and informed"""" or whatever the fuck. The amount of times I've seen some libshit kkkkracker call someone a reactionary after getting called that themselves would make me rich. They love using mental health terminology, too.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Just remember for this blaming minorities and gen z: both demographics came out in big numbers to the blm protests and vote against Trump. The numbers show that Trump didn’t really win any new converts. Majority just stayed home and the only demographics to vote for Trump as a majority were white men/women.

You can bet which one is going to have articles giving them a lot more sympathy.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I literally saw a post that showed Trump voter stats for race and gender, but they were completely separate, and white people and men as groups were roughly the same percentage, but this liberal white woman commented on the post, "Wow, men are not okay" or something to that effect. This is just reinforcing the theory that many Western white feminists do not care about ending oppression; they just want patriarchy to stop inconveniencing them personally. They'll side with white supremacy if given the chance.

And, of course, there's this. This is not a first-time thing for me.

This is why I often have a lot of hard time trusting mainstream feminists or even get wary when I see any "anti-male" stuff. On the surface, to a non-intersectional, close-minded cracKKKer who has never thought critically about feminism in their life, complaining about men collectively just comes off as women innocuously exercising their very much justified frustration with patriarchy, which isn't false in many cases. However, such rhetoric has harmed men of color in particular, and trans people do get negatively impacted by the bioessentialist implications that sometimes are hidden within these kinds of complaints.

Most Hexbears not being aware of the fact that this sentiment has been used in racist ways isn't a shock to me because Hexbear absolutely can be mayo as fuck, but with how many trans users we have, I'm surprised at how many people on this site act like this kind of rhetoric is never used to hurt trans people. And by that, I mean, no, it doesn't only hurt trans people in the case of mask-off Rowlingesque TERF rhetoric; mainstream liberal feminism is plagued with this shit too. I think I just found it easier to notice because, as a transfem of color, the reactionary stick of imperial feminists beats me twice as hard.

It does seem very convenient to now have a "valid" reason to see me as dangerous rather than just because I'm brown

Ain't that some shit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Ain't gonna lie, after seeing all that crap blaming minorities for Trump being elected, I want every crakkker, lib or chud, to bow down to EVERY minority in this fucking universe before we chuck em in the pit when revolution comes. And when I say bow, I mean forehead touching the floor, kissing the feet of everyone they blamed, and then some. They've been smug and arrogant about shit they know nothing about for waaay too long and it's about time somebody put them in their place.

They're gonna be bowing for hours like that concentration camp guard being forced to play the piano before barbara-pit

I still love my people but they have lost their damn minds after Tuesday. Saying no one is there for us so they won't be there for anybody else. I asked them, what have you done for people ? Crickets. Nevermind we had fantastic protest turnout in 2020 nevermind there is a literal genocide happening to another group that I know they're ignoring. Anyway, we're not free unless we're all free

Well they already normalise killing brown people abroad. May as well normalize kkk outfits. There's barely any black people in canada and they're going absolutely stupid over indian immigrants there.

While not perfect I do love the addition of latin american spanish vs spain spanish in shows and stuff. Having to hear spain spanish is meow-tableflip that being said I do get lost if it's not specifically spanish from mexico. Tried to watch some films from argentina/columbia and I got to really pay attention
