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?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

What can I post?

Remember, EM POC only!

One year of Palestinian resistance... hamas-red-triangle hamas-red-triangle hamas-red-triangle hamas-red-triangle

I want liberation for all of the marginalized who still remain chained up by their oppressors.

That aside, of course, I'm hoping for some happy EM POC vibes this week!

I'm trying this new approach to my issues called the "thug that shit out" approach. Let's see how it goes!

I got a sneaking suspicion one of them is that dude who malds at people using the word "cracker." Whatever. Hexbear always had a mayo problem. And I don't see that changing anytime soon because there's way too many white people here.

You know, for a USian leftist social media website whose target demographic are zoomers and millennials, the fact that white people are a supermajority instead of a slight minority is disgraceful. White people don't even form the majority of USian zoomers. And once you screen out the (mostly white) Christofascists and (mostly white) white nationalists, the percentage of US zoomers who are white drops even further. But over here on Hexbear dot net, the percentage of white posters is probably on par with UK zoomers who are white. Cool if this is a British site, but not so cool since it's an USian site.

Honestly, yeah, I never thought about it like that but that makes this problem generally so much fucking worse. My God, that's depressing. Haha

I don't have any idea how to remedy that. I'm just glad we have this space at least. Unlimited gratitude to @[email protected] and @[email protected]!
