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.

I'm down with a Wretched of the Earth group because chapter 1 is neverending and it feels like disconnected rambling. It feels almost stream of consciousness or something and I need something to latch onto. Maybe a group can help center me
That is extremely true, the theory is great but our mans needed an editor. i think the group will help!
i rarely rarely ever post in this site at all, but i have no one where else to vent this out. but i am quite tired of this weird "christification" of luigi in online left spaces. fanart, edits, upvotes, everything. it really reminds me of how american/western centric online spaces are. people stopped talking about sinwar, literally one of the leaders of hamas fighting at the frontlines, after a week or so. it's incredibly annoying to see the absurd claims of luigi being anything like che, lenin, sinwar, or even any of the black panther leaders
Unfortunately this site isn’t much different in that regard. I literally just saw a user with a saint luigi pfp
i wonder if the "left and right" would be as united as they say if the shooter in question wasn't white. it saddens me to see all this effort in social media to get this guy out of jail when there are so many innocent people in america being sent to prison or worse, executed (marcellus williams). if its really just about the act, why are they so focused on the individual like a celebrity? is it just american culture?
America does have a history of turning everything into a celebrity, but i think it has more to do with western individualism as in trying to make someone a Hero or Martyr that will save them
remember when hexbear users claimed china had made every buisness in china a workers coop? how come we dont talk about that?
like really we need an autopsy on that https://hexbear.net/post/2412952
278 upvotes for obviously fake news that's debunked by reading whats been linked. hexbear users think they are smarter then the average person but they really arent they are just more arrogant than the average person. i really think we should break down what went wrong and try to learn from it.

people are so..........................
Unserious
Mom is mad at me and punishing me, but at the same time wont tell me why or what im supposed to be doing to make up for it. I dont understand.
Hopefully she gives you a reason once she cools off.
Thats unfair to you
Some people... They're just irrational when they attack you without reason
Im not even saying its without reason. I just want to know what the reasons are.
Well that's the irrational part; she doesn't explain why. She just does it unprovoked

Lol it's just a gossip rag, right? What makes it so CIA?
also i keep thinking shannon sharpe is dead and im sad when hes not
Wait, I don't keep up with podjohns like that even when they're skinfolk-- what did Sharpe do?
I hear his shitty dating advice from middle aged black women in my life and I have to bite my tongue, its basic gender roles shit, but its annoying, like no im gonna have my tits out if i want and any man can simply fucking deal with that. also im a huge Megan stan and while she has forgiven him for his comments I have not.
Ugggggggggh, so he's two steps from being one of these Fresh and Fit weirdos just twenty years removed 
actully no because many of his fans are women. he likes to give women "advice", and the advice is always "be more modest and demure" and some women (not like.. a lot a lot) eat it up. its not even his main thing it just gets under my skin when i hear it,
and the advice is always "be more modest and demure"
Oh ew. On one hand at least it sounds a lot more like basic (if deeply-encoded) boomer purity brainworms but it's still piss-off inducing that views like that still get such broad play :/
yeah, ive been subjected to a lot of boomers i gotta be nice to lately so its irritating.
My condolences kin, I feel exactly what you're going through rn except for me it's Gen Xers
