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?

god the crackers on Hexbear want to own and breed women like animals I swear to god. every other day I see white supremacist, misogynistic propaganda on here it's killing me. and it doesn't matter what I think because its the majority opinion. god 90% of leftist men want to own and subjugate women and have convinced themselves capitalism is the reason they cant. declining birthrates is evidence of women achieving more rights and education. your not too poor to have kids you dumb fucks, You're rich and spoiled enough not to. god i hate crackers, i hate men, i hate male crackers, i hate their entitlement to people's bodies. i hate when fuckimg americans who LITERALLY cant IMAGINE what poverty looks like in the countries their country has pillaged for decades, fucking lecture on about how are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo poor and cant have kids because of it. you cant have kids because you live in a country rich and progressive enough women are not youre fucking property and are not FORCED to give you kids. cope and seeth. i actually think its fucking funny. womp womp you cant force white women to be your slaves anymore. cope and seeth.
I’m gonna take another mental health break from Hexbear soon. Last time I did over a month and it helped a lot.
I don’t think hexbear folks are your enemies
Wait, what the heck happened? The Grimes post?
