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.

Damn. Othello was cool.
I figured that was the case when the thread went from 40-something comments to 35. 😞
damn i'll miss Othello
Why did Othello leave, anyway?
no clue but there's always opsec (recycle hexbear accs) also hexbear isn't perfect so maybe Othello's just distancing loveself from this site
either way, i hope loves in a better place now
othello will return at some point under a different name - trusted source
and the reason was stress and opsec
alright that makes more sense. hopefully love can find comfort in loves environment irl and on hexbear

Reminder that queer cracKKKers are still cracKKKers 
We don't relax around CACs, het or queer. They'll both sell you out to the same system.
Me when someone complains about "anti-white racism"
ypepo complain a lot because their complaints are actually heard
To counter this, I complain a lot, but I record myself complaining.
Then I watch it, and I'm like, "Damn, who is this? They spittin' str8 fax 📠🔥🔥🔥"
Gotta be your biggest fan when no one else is listening
gay
Absolutely!
Now come here...
mwah
There we go!

I find a brother struggling but was too busy trying to convert me to hear what im saying about academics. He's cooked but he doesnt realise just how cooked he is yet

Capitalism is bad enough, but now my front tooth is chipped and the system is a fuck 😡
What does EM stand for? I'm sorry you've been affected by Milton. Glad you got your internet back. I hope you're able to get nice and cozy where you're at.

i feel like every time racism is brought up on hexbear it's some arcane instance of it, almost as if the entire concept of racism is reduced to some trope.
I don't know, just don't feel like it's discussed in a real manner, i can't seem to relate most of the times the topic comes up
yeah, I agree.

having a crush on someone when you know it won’t work out is awful.
I relate, but it's a relief when you do eventually move on. A few months ago, I couldn't stop thinking about the coworker I mention in this comment, and now, I'm like "She's all cool and good, but we can't be together, and that's okay." She's not vegan, and I only date vegans, so oftentimes, I can just alleviate the pain of a crush I don't want if the person I'm crushing on is non-vegan. Reminding myself of their carnism will really turn me off with enough focus. She does seem like she has a "vegan heart," in that she gives off the vibe that she wouldn't be difficult to convince in theory, but yeah, you could never know for sure with this kind of stuff.
Chances this guy learns from his mistake, realizes he was being a weapons grade piece of shit, and that that’s bad instead of blaming woke?
Hell if I knowstressors, misery though I'm working on it somewhat and reaching out for help IRL
Is it a migraine, an aneurysm, a nocebo, or the weight of racism and the collapsing empire, financial stressors and dysphoria/dysmorphia/depression?

Holy mackerel I'm so clueless but I'm picking up concepts pretty fast!
