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.

Like Frivolous_Beatnik said, he's not really more lib as much as its an, and I don't really know of a better way of saying it, having the wrong reaction to whats going on. Prior to the election he had already more or less said that voting for Kamala wouldn't be the worst thing to prevent a Trump presidency, although he wasn't exactly endorsing her either. I haven't watched the latest video, but when I saw it pop up on my feed I had a bad feeling. Its disappointing that he feels the need to go to bat for Dems when so many of his videos have pointed out how bad the party has been, especially when it comes to policing policy.
He still says they're bad, but his vibe is that Kamala would've been significantly different and she was kept out of office by systemic racism and misogyny which, while that's part of it sure, is still ignoring the effect that endorsing the most publicly visible genocide in history might have on the voting populace. That, and her essentially promising nothing would get better.
Racism and sexism does play into it, but less so in the primaries where it was obvious she wasn't a good candidate. Dems still gush over Obama and Hillary Clinton. They simply don't like Harris because she's a slimeball. Minorities within the Democrats especially don't like her because she's a cop.
But really it's like you said, she promised nothing would fundamentally change. Dems forgot Biden only won because Trump mishandled covid. Once Biden got into office? He allowed Trump's policies to continue, including ignoring covid.
I know a lot of democrats were upset they didn't get to vote in a primary to replace Biden. Even though they may have liked Harris, they still felt cheated she was automatically the candidate to replace Biden.
I don't think liberals give enough of a shit about Palestine they'd stay home. While a contributing factor among independents outside of the party, within the party it was a combination of what I said above.
