I remember hearing on crack too and don't doubt it was tied to Iran Contra but like I haven't read any books on it yet, if someone has a good one be cool for a title

the same right wingers who were making fun of George Floyd for 5 years straight, editing him into everything, downplaying his death, reenacting it, Suddenly find saying "it's ironic how Kirk died" to be the most offensive thing ever?
He was killed by a white man while using a tired old dogwhistle of "gang violence" to imply black on black violence. Its extremely ironic and extremely funny and they can go kick rocks if they don't like that.
Apparently the man who thinks the civil rights act was a mistake, cheering ICE, supports israel apartheid...... is an advocate for freedom
Got an interview tomorrow. It's with a place that does offers on the spot... I so fucking hope I get this.
you got it!
Unfortunately didn't... I have like 4 more interviews this week, though. Yeah, I know.
I think a lot of my anxiety comes about from being colored in public, it's that family guy skin tone meme where if you too dark it's loitering. Anyway fuck and fuck
Anyway fuck
and fuck
Amen
May the never find rest
A few of our diaspora have willingly returned due to ICE scares and the culture shock is already too much. The lower standard of living and more socially conservative population clearly makes them uncomfortable. It’s why I always say you should strongly consider these things if you plan to live in the global south after living your entire life in the global north.
its kinda sad that imperialism and neocolonialism created a positive feedback loop wherein third worlders move to western countries for better opportunities and pay with most becoming frothing reactionaries (due to basic class interest) who would kill every single one of their own just for the chance to be accepted as white
not saying your diaspora are like that, obviously. but a lot are.
I've always told people that I could never move to my parents country because I just don't fit in. The few times I've visited I'm sure I stick out like a sore thumb and I've never really been able to connect with my extended family. Everyone from my generation is either a bougie lib (mostly on my dad's side) or an evangelical (on my mom's side). The car culture there is probably on par, if not just as bad as it is in the US.
I seriously have thought of moving to a more socially progressive region with a lot of other Black people (which may still be somewhere in Burgerland for all I know), and where my family is from absolutely does not fit that mold at all. In fact, they recently recriminalized homosexuality, having first decriminalized it in 2018.

@[email protected] about your comment in the last mega, Charlie Kirk is literally against minorities having civil rights.
On a different topic, westerners who say shit like "oh I don't eat vegetables" I've seen multiple say it like it's a normal thing... how?
on a somewhat similar topic, I've noticed something about right wingers, they genuinely tie political beliefs to how a person looks, they act surprised when a white cis male doesn't like Charlie Kirk and hates feminists and minorities, and it's what makes Kamala and other marginalized racists even more pathetic because this logic also applies to them. it's writing books for the illiterate.
And they putting him side by side with MLK
A man he literally shat on
If this populace were anymore brainwashed they'd be a tyranid hivemind

I'm trying to figure this out...... If this is what fascism is to white folks wtf is what poc and the imperial periphery have been going through called?
Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
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?
