Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Made fam nopales and soy chorizo for breakfast, been a while since I made this but the nopales in my backyard need to be kept in line

🎵 I hear the talk that America
Supporting white South Africa
But if we have to work voodoo
My people shouting Uhuru
Sound the drums and summon the witch doctors
To deal with those weird characters 🎵

Ya soy got themselves some sugar cane to munch on

Mood from whoever posted this a while ago

i am so, so done with this site. feeling very tempted to leave but i’ve got to hang out for the sake of my em_poc and fat and disabled comrades but ughhhhh

Apologies if this is inappropriate or too judgemental, but I think it's a huge shame that frauddog deleted null's account. I can't speak for everybody, but I'm more than willing to share a space with someone who can show the necessary growth from having signed to be an imperialist soldier. But by deleting the account now the community will think of void as a coward and will be suspicious of any new users who are appropriately combative to cracker nonsense on this site. If you're reading this, and plan on ever coming back, please say who you are and do some self crit. We need your posts, but we also need some transparency.

For a bloomer moment — I've met several awesome communists of color this past year. Hoping to get to talk to them even more next year!

Some dipshit submitted a FOIA request on Hexbear. Imagine not being socialized to view any willful interaction with pigs as snitching.

Hate feeling like I’m part of the most hated racial demographic in the west, and I know other POC feel isolated and alienated like this but I’m always looking for solidarity with people IRL but never seem to get it.

Like, I’m sure my mental health plays into but I feel like I’m always alone on an island and have to fend for myself. My race gets it from all sides and unfortunately people within my race, at least in the US, are for the most part mentally colonized by white supremacy which is further alienatinv because I can’t seem to relate to any of them

Feel like I am literally everything and anything (negative) to everybody. I’m either looked down on because I’m perceived as too poor, or an uppity n- for being percieved as too rich and educated because of ethnicity. My people are either taking away good jobs or they’re just poor leeches on society depending on who you talk to. I’m either a person capable of SA and murder or an effete weakling. I’m assumed to be a criminal or a literal member of the ruling elite. I’m a nerd that gets racially abused in typical nerd circles or a n- that gets abused in in other circles

It feels like I’m never part of the in-group in any situation. I’m always someone’s enemy. It would be relieving if this was ‘all in my head’ and I’m only subjecting myself to these narratives as a coping/defense mechanism meant to not only protect me but feed my own ego but I don’t want a life of estrangement, and loneliness.

I'm a minority within a minority. A child of immigrants to a country that is itself a colony to an imperial power.

My upgringing could have been a lot worse and the same goes for my life, but I swear to god if I make it through life without doing serious harm to myself it will be a small miracle.

Wishing all my POC comrades a wonderful new year ahead.

AWA AWAAAAAAAA!!!! :3 🎉🎊✨🎇🎆

I don't have much substantial to say but just as a reminder (since the tags are no longer visible) I believe frauddogg's pronouns are null/void and none/username if I'm remembering correctly

In the relatively short time I have been on this website, I do not think a week has passed without at least one "struggle session".

I don't post in this mega often, but I know from lurking around that you're the coolest people here 😎 The crackers are at it again, and I share a lot of the pessimism I see in this thread rn, but I also wanna say that having been here with this community since its inception, I've seen many, many, many struggle sessions (and instigated a few of them myself... ) and this community genuinely has improved and grown incrementally each time in a positive direction. Obviously it sucks that we have to have these learning moments in the first place, and the pace at each change occurs is slower than any of us hope, but I have seen this community continually move in the right direction in a way I haven't seen any other online community this large do. Maybe it's cope, but just thought I'd inject some optimism into here... Idk.

In remembrance of some of the former EMPOC users of the previous year (correct if I'm wrong)

UlyssesT - deleted account for OPSEC issues under new Trump admin

Al_Sham - deleted account due to emotional turmoil resulting from the fall of Assadist Syria

frauddogg - deleted account out of shame of being exposed as ex-U.S soldier, after calling funkYankkkees "settler"

@[email protected] - banned due to misogyny

@[email protected] - banned due to

reason: Repeated violations and refusal to self crit

Neptium

Maorites

Hopefully this year is a year of recovery
