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?

My frustration is often with liberals who don't understand racists revel in their racism, don't care about hypocrisy, and think we can simply explain how racism is bad will change the racists' minds. We all know this shit and we've known for decades. They know and don't care. They actively decide they'd rather steal shit and hurt people.

And even worse is they think if we change whoever is on top, it will end racism. Libs will advocate for this immediately after they've mentioned systemic racism.

Hampton said it best: you don't fight white supremacy with black supremacy. You fight it with socialism. But liberals wouldn't be liberals if they advocated for communism, which they equate with fascism.

(I definitely think I just did the thing you mentioned in explaining racism lol...hope it's not too irritating)

Nah you’re good. You at least end with Hampton. Hampton as you’re closer is never a bad thing 😀
