Hello nerds, hope you all have a good next week 
Remember no crackers
I once had a dream that the Aztecs had fighter jets and used them to sink the Spanish ships and destroy their forts lol
God-willing... god-willing
Westerners finding every excuse to explain why they think Ethiopia wasn’t considered one of the three great powers alongside the Roman Empire and Han Dynasty China.
education is a frustrating matter, I want to shove book into people's faces until they read, like damn you read about how your people got colonized ffs
Then you find many pocs reciting racist propaganda they got from youtube. Easier to absorb bite sized bullshit than read the several books about reality. Smh
it's like a toddler, you can try all day to teach them "say thank you :)" "Say hi :)" and they don't do that, but you hit your toe a lil hard and then bam that kid suddenly knows how to repeat what they were told
This site is still incredibly white and racist.
This site is actually my relief space because other places are so much worse.
Can be said week to week, to no change.
what was it this time?
we gotta have a bingo at this point
Social media can be so cringe. I had been following an indigenous rights group and over time I've come to realize its kind of a lib page even though they do some radical positions like land back. And I didn't mind the fact that it is a lib page, but they posted some cringe shit about black people being colonizers and it like... ehhhh. If we're going to label black people like that because there are those who enthusiastically support the US and white supremacy then you're going down a slippery slope by labeling the entire group that way. Especially because there are groups of indigenous people who believe in assimilating with, or at least are ok with, colonizer culture. IDK, maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but I unfollowed the page. I have other indigenous rights pages that are much more intersectional.
Today is the independence day of Vunzuela and Algeria
Stupid mfs cosplaying agents and going to sanctuary cities 
happy juneteenth
"there is no hope in the world, face it, thats reality. we're all doomed" - white person living in the united states of america with a middle class income
YES YES YES! it is maddeningly frustrating to see this shit. The biggest doomers I have ever met weren’t people living in slums, victims of facist torture during the civil war, or even victims of genocide among the indigenous population. No the biggest doomers have been people living in wealthy NATO countries talking about how they’re powerless and the world is ending.
Even the Trump shit is kind of annoying. It’s like Americans want to live in a real dictatorship. I spent my early years living in one and still have ptsd issues from it. This doomer shit is unproductive and obnoxious. We may be getting hurt more by climate change and political/economic instability but at least we’re better prepared to weather the storm.
Handmaid's Tale is a prime example of the cracker brain. "Oh no! A fascist, theocratic dictatorship is going to force women to give birth and then steal the children!" and I'm like "Motherfucker that's already been done in the US to black and Native American women, complete with the religious aspect."
They're afraid of what Whitey has done to other people all over the world for centuries being done to other white people. Liberals are willfully ignorant about their country's history. Conservatives have a larger persecution fetish than liberals and want to LARP as the American Revolution so they can kill people they don't like.
Not to mention, places in the Imperial Core are all relatively safe. Americans are so easily startled by their own shadows. They act like they live in a place where people just disappear because they got nabbed by criminal organizations. Or where you can't walk outside at night because there's so many robberies and homicides. Very few places in the US are genuinely dangerous and they sure as shit aren't some suburb in Idaho. You should be more worried about alligators in Florida than violent crime.
Its a reactionary and misanthropic attitude. With the way they talk, you'd think capitalism reigned since time immemoriam, or that the cuban, russian, chinese, vietnamese, and haitian revolutions never happened in that span of time.
Seeing a white western spout nihilistic nonsense is as embarrassing as watching a high school adolescent enter an edgelord phase
meanwhile a person in Burkina Faso, with the IS-S walking distance from them centuries of colonies, decades of neocolonialism and leaders being killed infront of them: yeah we'll win
Che had 340 fighters to tackle an enemy force ten times larger and supported by tanks and air power.
She was shocked by how “dirty and messed-up” the guerrillas looked. Her father, who was standing next to her, muttered incredulously: “These guys are planning to take Santa Clara?” Then Lolita spotted Che, and she was struck both by how young he looked and by his air of authority. This impression was bolstered when one of his men, his face a battle-weary mask, asked her how many soldiers were in the city. When she told him “about five thousand,” he nodded and said, “Good, with our jefe that’s no problem.”
From Jon Anderson's "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life"
I mean the world is going to shit lets not kid ourselves here. Thats not the funny part. The funny part is this idea that they can vote their way out of it. That they can maintain this lifestyle while picking on the bones and exploiting us in the third world. That their lifestyle to keep this air of superiority with is largely responsible. A lot of shit they're scared of they been doing to us. Difference is they tell us to be thankful for it and get shocked people like the Palestinians fight back
I've been counting, and this has been this case for at least 60 days now.
I think it's safe to say that he's not here anymore, but the only things that still leave me skeptical is:
Basically, my skepticism comes from the lack of any noticeable "official" confirmation, but I guess this could just be due to a delay in handling formalities. Like, for example, if he died (
), the landlord still might have to wait for some legal stuff to be sorted out, such as where his belongings go and lease concerns.
I bet if you made an art project out of styrofoam that looks like real cheese and left it out next to some cuckold porn DVDs, he'd show himself immediately. If it sits out for more than a day, you know he's gone for good. If he's not gone, it will be really, really funny when he tries to eat a styrofoam block of cheese.
Star witness against Kilmar Garcia has legit a long rapsheet and will not be deported or serve his federal prison sentence. So he has a rapsheet longer than the one love remix and hes gonna go free to get a man who has no criminal record of any kind. his credibility as a witness shattered due to an obvious deal he got. Absolute clown show that this case isn't thrown out of court
Chavez jr fought jake paul last week now ICE deporting him? Everyone is a legit target. This world cup next year will be a shitshow https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fU48eUJg4iU&pp=ygUJQ2hhdmV6IGpy0gcJCcEJAYcqIYzv These mfs tying him with organized crime and cartels gtfo. They're just incriminating people with bullshit now. Wtf
One of the most popular chuds was calling to feed 65 million migrants to the gators in florida, aka the 65 million latinos living in the USA
ICE is just the US version of the gestapo at this point
From that post that Laura Loomer made? Even more cursed is that she also had a play on 'black lives matter' with the 'alligator lives matter' line. They don't even care about masking their callous hatred of POC anymore.

Mandem saying "who's gonna pay for healthcare" quiet about that 70 or so billion budget for ICE Gestapo
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Crockett may be a dem but this was a great way on pressing these racist Karens on what they really mean. They always try to hide their hands https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wFJqnVZfIYA
made a new account to tell yall about sliced mayo but it turns out its a hoax :(
sliced mayo
I read that and thought about those jello recipies with mayo that were popular in the 60s
Yesterday, I said to myself in the morning, "I haven't had doubles in a long time. Maybe I should go to the Caribbean shop sometime soon."
Then shortly after I go on Instagram, I see a post from this vegan recipe account by this Black British man I follow. He primarily shares African, Latin American, and Caribbean dishes, and this time, he shared a recipe for doubles.
I find it a fascinating coincidence!
Can't forget that time I was getting along really well with this Black queer vegan leftist until they found out I'm an ML and said "Sorry, I hate tankies and campists."
Wew... this person was certainly interesting. They told me they don't care about content for Palestine because it seems "trendy." (WTF)
So many vibes, and none of them feel right.

Yep, def missed a big bullet right there.
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?
