I hate how "don't talk about politics" because it just means white people can be soft racist without consequences

He was killed by a white man while using a tired old dogwhistle of "gang violence" to imply black on black violence. Its extremely ironic and extremely funny and they can go kick rocks if they don't like that.

Man shit suck some white boomers are getting on me for going to the park everyday waiting for the library to open. They haven't said anything directly to me because they cowards but I know it's only a matter of time before cops are involved. Chilling in a different place now until library opens, hate how unwelcomed I feel based on us-foreign-policy

Been wanting to ask this question and it came back to my mind with my comment about that white therapist I had: Does anybody else hate seeing/hearing white people be self-proclaimed anti-racists? Something gives me the ick about white people affirming this supposed "anti-racist" stance by labeling themselves vocally. I even see it on HB at times.

Just do what you need to do to show it because, honestly, there are so many white people who falsely believe themselves to be anti-racist that it can never be a good look to me when a white person says that they are.

it's like proclaiming that you don't eat people

the "communist ml" side on tumblr complaining abt the phrase "the usa has always been fascist" because it isnt accurate to a precise analysis of fascism and that it "whitewashes liberal democracy" has made me realize that site is truly full of navel gazers who have never interacted with anyone irl, much more so with nonwhites.

like when has a person who says that the usa has always been fascist (an effective rhetorical tool mind you!) ever been a proponent of fucking liberal democracy. like jfc. how pedantic.

whenever a leftist ik admits they used or use tumblr/4chan/reddit regularly or used to identify with it I keep my eyes on them like they're going to turn into a horse or something

especially "leftists" spaces or boards there because they didn't have a "everything I believe in is wrong I have to rebuild what I know" self critic moment, people who held obvious reactionary beliefs such transphobia or racism then decide one day to become a communist have to either wipe out everything they believe in or exist in nazbol communities, because the moment you start talking some "tradwives" and "all lives matter" bullshit you're getting banned anywhere remotely on the left. They still carry the nonsense they held back then you just won't notice it because it isn't obvious or isn't in the topic, you talk to them for a while and they seem fine then boom they start having nostalgia about the Hamilton Musical and Obama, or if they're a redditor they start talking about Muslims, or if they were a /tttt/ or /leftypol/ user they use abbreviations and slurs no one knows.

a lot of these people, and in most communities dominated by westerners in general, is that they retain a lot of their chauvinism, especially the yanks. they would shout for the destruction of the settler state for israel while praising fucking new york city in the next post. the discontinuity between how they treat the two settler states is something i've repeated numerous times.

At the risk of getting put on horse-watch, I'm going to strongly agree with you about reddit-logo

or if they're a redditor they start talking about Muslims

I lurked on /r/atheism a long time ago while grappling with the fallout from my faith shattering, and what I concluded was that that crowd of "new atheists" were racist as hell. If I talked about not being muslim anymore because I wanted God to actually exercise power to make the world better, and since that doesn't happen I can't believe in anything supernatural anymore: Upvotes galore, sympathetic comments, people commiserating and trying to help me cope. If I said that bombing Muslims because you think their governments are too theocratic / autocratic is a horrible way to "liberate" anyone, and anyway people didn't need to be "liberated" by force, they just needed to be socially free to choose their beliefs and lifestyles (and, when free to choose, most people would remain Muslim because it's not actually bad to be religious, and you can be gay and trans and progressive and still be religious): Downvoted to hell and people dogpiling me and even citing the Quran out of context to tell me, someone raised in Islam, that I didn't know shit about it. If I pointed out that it's absolutely ridiculous for a mostly white mostly western userbase to talk so much shit about Islam at all when evangelical christianity is the thing that's actually threatening people's civil liberties: "terrorism", "migrants invading europe and making the crime rate skyrocket" (gee, why would a bunch of refugees suddenly show up? Did western foreign policy have anything to do with that?), and even worse things I don't want to retype out because it's so hateful.

The heel turn that Richard Dawkins took was not a surprise. That motherfucker ended up deciding he was a secular christian because he was so bothered by seeing Muslim women wearing clothes.

Redditors as a group seem to just hate Muslims because redditors are western chauvinists. That's the real reason they don't complain about isntrael committing a livestreamed holocaust on our western goverenments' dime. They like seeing people being murdered, as long as they're the right religion.

Leftypol is extremely reactionary. I'm also suspicious of anyone who uses it because they don't have rules like actual leftist spaces against bigotry and slurs.

I only browse 4chan for opposition research to understand and recognize dogwhistles. It's one of the reasons I no longer debate conservatives elsewhere because it's clear mainstream reactionaries have absorbed the Alt-Right into their platforms. This includes 4chan-style """trolling""" where they pretend like they were "just joking" if you call out their shitty beliefs.

The place was ground zero for online neo-nazis recruited by Steve Bannon outside of actual Stormfront.

they use abbreviations and slurs no one knows.

Exactly 💯%. They'll carry over their reactionary thinking and hope anyone won't notice.

It's crucial to be materialist during these times. Losing 13 billion in soybean, car manufacturer plant stalled because deportation blowback, un finally saying its a genocide, all of these things are related and interdependent on each other. All else that's happening is facism thrashing for the only power they can control and capitalist hoarding wealth by budding up to power.

I hate how my ability to care about the struggles of white people seems to be diminishing a lot, even if they're legitimate struggles.

For example, seeing white queer people complain about queerphobic legislation just doesn't bother me anymore, even though I'd be impacted by that very legislation.

The legislation does concern me, yes, but the white complaints about it? I don't care what they have to say because I can't get over how common it is for white people to only care about injustice insofar as it goes after them personally.

These same white queer people would never give a damn about anything pertaining to systemic racism, and if they posted some tweet saying they did, it'd just be performative bullshit.

It seems like the “quirky/nerdy/weird” poc white worship the hardest.

[-] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well if you are talking about outside America, most “nerd culture” is produced either in the USA or Japan. Generic Fantasy settings are based on idealized versions of Europe, and have a lot of problematic tropes associated. If someone’s only cultural input is this homogenized whitewashed crap then they will start reflecting that outwardly in their worldview. Marvel movies have an ideology. Video Games often have an ideology. “Apolitical” nerds who consume uncritically will have those ideologies

Couldn’t find a single one being critical of this dehumanizing behavior.

This is, once again, more insight into the problem of racial fetishism being an extremely socially acceptable form of racism.

This is more insight into the issue of people being racist so long as they can get away with it.

This is more insight into the tendency for people to reduce what counts as "racist" down to men in white hoods lynching dark-skinned people.

It also is a yet another instance of white nonsense that continues to validate my decision to never date out again.

Grieving is ass. I hate having to hold myself together because my parent doesn't want to think about it or talk about it but I know it's eating them up and it'll be better to just let it out. Hopefully they'll let out some grief when I go back home, I know I will.

This is why there's no crime that's too old to remember, there's not "it was so long ago you have to move on", because when they [the colonizers] step on you, they won't rest until you apologize for hurting their foot, they won't rest until they stomp you out.

The transcription interview went very well. It was also with a Black woman.

I now have to do one more assessment, and once I get graded on it, I'll be able to start the job soon!

Seeing as how transcription is something I'm adept at, I'm confident! I got a week to complete this assessment but plan on completing it either tonight or tomorrow.

Regarding pay, she said that this could be a full-time job for me, as they are the largest legal transcription service for the US, and she used a calculator that considers both my typing speed and hours I want to work and calculates an expected rate.

Based on her calculations, she says I should expect to make 18 to 20 USD an hour as a conservative estimate. Nice.

I hope this goes well.

Fingers crossed!

A few of our diaspora have willingly returned due to ICE scares and the culture shock is already too much. The lower standard of living and more socially conservative population clearly makes them uncomfortable. It’s why I always say you should strongly consider these things if you plan to live in the global south after living your entire life in the global north.

[-] daofaorao@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

its kinda sad that imperialism and neocolonialism created a positive feedback loop wherein third worlders move to western countries for better opportunities and pay with most becoming frothing reactionaries (due to basic class interest) who would kill every single one of their own just for the chance to be accepted as white

not saying your diaspora are like that, obviously. but a lot are.

I've always told people that I could never move to my parents country because I just don't fit in. The few times I've visited I'm sure I stick out like a sore thumb and I've never really been able to connect with my extended family. Everyone from my generation is either a bougie lib (mostly on my dad's side) or an evangelical (on my mom's side). The car culture there is probably on par, if not just as bad as it is in the US.

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?

What can I post?
