Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

A meme that perfectly describes HB

FD Signifier releasing video still caping for Kamala & the Dems

Got offered a candidacy for PSL. Guess this is actually happening, I'm doing the joining an organization thing. Immediately I've been invited to multiple events, like some class on modern events, and some event for the Bernie's tour to start converting progressive libs, to immigration "know your rights" classes and outreach.

It's weird timing with what's going on now, with Trump locking people up for thought crimes and such. They're deporting people who look like me, not even being legal is protecting people. I'm fully legal, but how long will that stop them? Or hell, they could lock up my family in retribution (not to doxx myself too much but we're not all from this country). I haven't even done anything yet, I'm not a leader to make an example of, but am already a little nervous. I know that's why they do their horrible stuff, to discourage people like me from joining together so we look out for ourselves instead of for each other.

Hope I don't come off as some fake leftist or coward, it's just thoughts I've had as the invites have rolled in. And I'm hoping getting these thoughts out will be like an exhale before rolling up my sleeves to finally do actual work (other than the noble art of posting, of course).

I can't with this fucking weird-ass dream I had.

Okay, so basically, in this dream, I was in a college class or something like that, and I haven't been in college for a bit. Weird.

And what I specifically remember is that there was this classmate of mine... he was a chubbier Black guy, looked a bit nerdy, wore glasses, and had somewhat spiky hair, and his name was "Lenward." I specifically remember that people called him that because his first name is Leonard and his middle name is Edward.

So, here's what's weird(er than that): Lenward would, out of absolutely nowhere, during lectures, just start beatboxing really well, and then he'd lay down the most fire bars imaginable, and then his desk just started levitating, and he floated around the classroom while doing it, and everyone, including the professor, was just cheering him on like, "GO, LENWARD! GO!"

And, when I wake up, I'm like, "What the fuck was that?"

I'm curious was it DEI or "illegal" immigrants that fucked up the stock market

The recent thread with the reactionary person posting these 1000-word screeds to shit on indigenous peoples' knowledge had me really weirded out. I feel I started it all by saying "hey let's not use shaman as shorthand for quack, it's colonialist and racist to do so". And apparently this very simple request led to a mini-struggle session.

I stg white people show their asses in weirder and weirder ways these days.

(also sorry, I keep forgetting the poc mega exists until i feel i need to vent with fellow non-mayo comrades)

I think I’m taking a break for at least a week from political news. See way too many calls to invade El Salvador without even thinking about how this will affect people living in the area. I might even go to El Salvador myself because I do have family on my mother’s side living there. Just see the people and catch up with some familiar faces I haven’t seen in a bit.

I’ll be back and the rest of you stay strong, because God knows the whites are showing their asses on this issue.

tip for any third worlders looking to move into the west: bring a nazi flag and a labcoat with you, that way they'd think you're a nazi scientist and will let you join NASA or someshit

"The Europeans are animals who don't care for human life" - one of my professors sometime ago.

ICE raid happened in a few towns over in a supposedly "liberal" area. Not looking good. I really don't trust the whites around me. They'd totally do something like call ICE on a school because they don't like waiting behind busses in traffic.

Ended up in twitter discourse, which is how I know my time there is ending.

I don't know if sukimom is arguing that patriarchy doesn't exist at all, and I don't think she's arguing it either, but she brings up very good points that specifically Black men are targeted by the state differently than other men and therefore do not have the same systematic patriarchal power. Where people are getting lost is the systematic ties to patriarchy, as opposed to individual. But these past few days on Twitter disgust me with these racist attacks on Black men as more violent, more sexist, evil, and therefore deserving of systematic oppression by the state. They even tried to bring in Indian men and Palestinian men as a gotcha that it's not all Black men but men.

I hate MRA but am starting to recognize where some of their concerns are valid, specifically for Black boys and men. Misogyny and patriarchy affect both genders and race differently. Misogyny says women are meek but misogyny for Black women say we're loud and powerful. Misogyny for men say they aren't caretakers and don't deserve diaper changing rooms in their bathroom, misogyny for Black men says anything they do wrong to a white woman deserves corporeal punishment.

Anyway, I don't remember where I was going with this. Just some thought as my worldview is developing. Men of color are targeted by the state too even if they're men, who historically have systematic power.

So this woman gets arrested for walking on the wrong side of the road but her white husband is left alone. Beyond parody https://atlantablackstar.com/2025/04/08/black-texas-woman-is-detained-for-walking-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-road-while-her-white-husband-remained-unbothered-by-officers-viral-video-shows/?ICID=ref_fark

Some of the most annoying people on made me realize why I dislike freiren so much now. With the new devil may cry netflix show out a lot of comparison is being made between the two shows with how the demons are protrayed. Freiren fans try not to be white supremacists challenge impossible holy shit I always had a lingering feeling why I didn't like the show but pushed passed it

The same tired defense for frieren I see is "they aren't humans but animals that learned to mimic us to prey on us" is absolutely making me want to scream. Like that hasn't been used on us by white people for ages to justify all the violence against us.Even if you wanna say this a different show fine different logic it's apparent how anime fans just keep pushing for this to any group not fully "human" in their eyes. You even get people saying "sparda was one of the good ones" holy shit I'm angry

Gonna enroll in community college classes next month, and then hopefully become decent at math again. Scary to think that I lost so much math literacy from years of not schooling, but I'm not as intimidated as I could be.

Lol jusy lmao

This is the entirety of that really heavy song I started. So proud of it!

I think I need to stop browsing Anglo internet for a bit because I see so many bad takes about El Salvador and Central America as a whole sprinkled in with my favorite, WW2 cliches.

I might ask this more than once, but how close are we to it being time to urgently get the fuck out of the US as, let's say, politically-oriented non-White people?

This shit is all moving really quickly. The President has no power, by the way. Biden could do nothing to prevent this.

Been applying for 10 jobs a day... taking a break this weekend and probably just gonna start doing 3 a day but try very hard to look for real gems.

I try not to do the "blind application just to reach a quota" thing, and when you have that mentality for 10 job applications a day, you will lose it, especially since I already have seen that even the best applications I give have proven themselves to not be so effective.

I'm tired as shit.

Had some good biko today, how of you?

Riff concept for the next song I'm writing

I was heavily influenced by classic prog (like Dream Theater and Fates Warning) when I wrote this one.

Going to watch a presentation on the "perspective of islam and islamophobia" hoping it will be good
