Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
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.

I love how it's hella crackers crying in the mega about how all their favorite cracker modlog issues caught bans or "left because of mod heavy-handedness". Like, can these crackers please say what their actual problem is with their whole chest? If I've gotta see another cracker whining about a disrespectful becky catching a shorter ban than any he/him would catch for the same actions, and call what she did "no good reason", I'mma crash out again and a WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE are gonna leave with they fragile-assed feelings hurt.
Angel's right; this is the only mega I feel is worth engaging with at the moment. Also, what is it with foreign mfs and thinking Black folk should stand shoulder-to-shoulder with white supremacists and trust they'll work with us toward liberation? Nobody is immune to cracker thought apparently
They don't want to spend even the smallest effort to understand why said mod was removed. Yeah, I'm sure it's just "teenager clique drama." Not "mod advocating doing an adventurism while downplaying user concerns about bigotry."
Also this got me to see my post about blocktube got restored, hooray!

You have a blocktube, nice!
It's an older Firefox add on that got removed from the official add-ons list a while ago. I didn't make it, but that's the list of channels I have blocked. Someone a while ago was looking for a way to get rid of Simon Whistler recommendations, so that's why I made the post.
You're doing god's work
If they did, they'd be thoroughly banned af, lmao...
Hence, the vague reasons such as the familiar "my father was killed in WW2 by the Russians, cuz he was ~~fascist~~ anti-communist"
My favorite is asking descendants of kulaks why their kulak relatives were liquidated. You'll hear some real ghoul shit like "Well it was their right to set an entire barn of wheat on fire, it was their property! But then big mean Stalin came and took away the rest of their grain so they couldn't sell it at a 1000% markup!"
