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?

I hear his shitty dating advice from middle aged black women in my life and I have to bite my tongue, its basic gender roles shit, but its annoying, like no im gonna have my tits out if i want and any man can simply fucking deal with that. also im a huge Megan stan and while she has forgiven him for his comments I have not.

actully no because many of his fans are women. he likes to give women "advice", and the advice is always "be more modest and demure" and some women (not like.. a lot a lot) eat it up. its not even his main thing it just gets under my skin when i hear it,

and the advice is always "be more modest and demure"

Oh ew. On one hand at least it sounds a lot more like basic (if deeply-encoded) boomer purity brainworms but it's still piss-off inducing that views like that still get such broad play :/
