Remember, EM POC only!
This message is to my EM POC comrades: Angel loves all of you.
Especially as of late, I have truly been feeling like this community has worked wonders in keeping me stable when it comes to handling the massive jar of mayo that this site can be sometimes.
How are you all?
Am I the only person who finds it a little weird when white people start calling other white people cracker (half this site)? Like we can't even be racist to white people without them stealing that too smh
its their way of jacking off about how they are the good enlightened whites. I fucking hate it, its always the people who do the least self crit too, that do it the most, and its more then half the site.
Yeeees, it's like a competition to them, feels really performative
Being performative is their culture
And who says white people don't have culture?
half this site
Realizing the majority of the newsmega is also just white people...
Oh yes. Its cringe and weird af
They call each other cracker and tell eachother to go back to Europe and shit, it feels like they're getting the satisfaction of being racist but without the shame of an unacceptable target
I feel like a lot of online queer spaces are absolutely overrun with white libs who don't think that they have the capacity to be racist, despite... constantly being very ignorant and offensive. Really, really weird bubbles. Has anyone else experienced this?? ๐ญ
Somehow, they also end up being shocking degrees of discriminatory within the LGBTQ+ community. Transphobia, enbyphobia, and bi/panphobia are shockingly common in mainstream LGBTQ+ spaces, meaning I'm not talking about those obscure "LGBDroptheT" type forums with a very small base of users.
For sure. I'm remembering all the tweets that used to come up during June that were like "happy pride month to everyone EXCEPT FOR (LGBTQ+ identity that the poster personally hates)" ??????
Does getting told "get married to a person in the west" count as that?
That's all marginalized groups that aren't based on race, unfortunately
Edit: actually not even the ones based on race are immune from thinking they're above any form of bigotry
like hexbear lol
Hi! Comrades! I'm from somewhere in Southeast Asia. I just picked up drawing as a hobby recently because I've got more free time from work after those crazy OT periods, still... no overtime means no overtime pay for me, so I'm kinda struggling with money issue now, so I have to use some of my savings to pay bills ๐. Factory job sucks. And wow, can't believe I've been on this instance for 1 year already.
Feels bad for yer financial predicament 
I passed the ELDT
which basically means I have satisfied the minimum FMCSA requirement to start the commercial skills test.
I also backed up a bus three times today and didn't hit any cones or encroach the boundary lines!
NICEEEEEEEEE
reading the origins of American sayings: aaaaaah it goes back white people doing something awful okay
Every single day I am reminded that literally everything in america goes back to white people being racist if you go back far enough
I AM ONCE AGAIN ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO JOIN EMPOCHA THE ELEMENT HEXBEAR EM POC CHAT ROOM. COME CHAT!!!!
Hello my friends
I'm eastern european who sadly ended up in the ukkk, so I'm posting here to say hello. I'm very aware that I don't really experience racism like a lot of my comrades here, so I won't take up too much space mouthing off, unless I've got something to share in the replies or need to scream about some xenophobic bullshit, hope that's cool.
Sending love to all my em poc comrades 
everything sucks so fucking much, everything is so fucking pointless, nothing ever gets better white people will never get better, they will always just try to hurt you for fun.
they dont want to get better, they never will, they take pleasure from hurting people. all they want to do is hurt black people. nothing will ever fucking get better.
I hate how socialism got washed out of poc historical figures, like many activists and revolutionaries were outright open socialists like literally you read their autobiography and they say in it "we must achieve socialism" but no one talks about it.
Hexbear will never not be a demonstration as to why even """"based honKKKies"""" do not deserve your trust.
only slept like 4h today 
I find nothing more pathetic than "Although I am a [colonized group], I am as much of a [colonizer identity] as everyone else in this country !"
be it Africans in Fr*nce, Native-indians and Black people in the U.S., '48 Arabs in occupied Palestine... etc I do not understand how their necks can withstand heads that fall that low.
Got accused of "speaking ynese" and I feel hip and relevant again
I want to join the Black community group at work but one of the future events is about black folks in the military and it turned me off. Maybe I should join anyway to bring the revolutionary energy that's needed.
I'm getting evaluated for autism today, wish me luck
Today i survived on 2 hours of sleep 
but i also ate chinese food which was very good 
It's so damn tempting to be a doomer and assert that this site will never truly be comfortable for EMPOC users, but I want to have some degree of hope.
White women who had no problem dating and raising white supremacists: I'm joking the 4B movement now that trumf is president
So many Western white feminists do not actually care about ending oppression. Their issue with patriarchy is that it personally inconveniences them, but they'll side with white supremacy if given the chance. Women who are less privileged than them, such as women of color, trans women, poor women, disabled women, and women in the Global South seem way beyond their capacity to care about.
I messed up my med intake and now I'm sick and angry why am I like this ๐ญ
Had a woman in my therapy group start complaining about how difficult being brown in America is.
Her and I are the only two brown people in a group of fourteen people. I don't what she expected. Like, they aren't going to apologize and white people take accusations of racism personally , so they won't empathize either.
This is really basic stuff . I was shocked that a poc didn't get that. It's borderline white levels of ignorance
I wanted to get up and leave.
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?
