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

Honestly, I'm over that one. Just another not-like-us tryna browbeat us into accepting tacit white supremacy as the law of the world; that's the exact kind of mf my blocklist made for.

Next I'm finna have to hear crackers and foreign mfs who don't even live here and know nothing of our culture talm bout 'Black liberation and nationalism is "inherently reactionary" and "counterrevolutionary"'(in a country that has no real left) (don't laugh!) if we're not willing to fight for the same mfs enslaving us two hundred years ago

EDIT: Also, if someone can point out to me where "I'm pretty sure every single one of us has a story about getting talked over by a cracker" cosigns Al Qaeda zionists, I'd love to see it; 'cause mfs stay talkin out the sides of their necks apparently. It went from "I'm pretty sure every single one of us has a story about getting talked over by a cracker" (a neutral, all-around perennial, 'every single melanated subject-of-empire has a story LIKE this' statement), to "wElL sOmE oF tHoSe "cRaCkErS" aRe CoMmUnIsTs" at which point I say "y'know what, I'm not doing this, fuck off." At which point it was failed to fuck off so uhm.

The fuck? How does "some of those crackers are actually communists" not come off as going to bat for klan-assed mfs? And why do these crackers and coons from the news mega get to totally disregard disengagement from the thread?

I know someone was just making fun of this kind of response in this same thread lol, but your edit makes me feel less like I'm going mad. As for the disengagement, I guess it was only applied to your posts specifically.

I think I just got blackpilled on "em_poc and mutual_aid are the only useable part of the site", but I probably won't stop despair posting on the disabled mega at least
