[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Such a fucking banger

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Its so good, should 100% be the track of the summer, but I'd be lying if I said Euphoria doesn't just slightly edge it out in my personal taste.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I'mma say somethng nerdy as shit: Euphoria was 100% structured like bossfight BGM.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Same. Not Like Us is catchier, but Euphoria hits on a different lyrical level.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I don't know why but I like 6:16 in LA better than Euphoria.

Love that sample, beat, and flow in that one. They're all amazing though.

Anything that can go full auto brrr is fine... but what about M16? Am I revisionist? blocky-wat

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

None of you are free from revisionism!

I don't know what I'm going to do for pride month. I have a drivers license now so maybe I'll actually go to gay bars/marches and rallies and stuff instead of walking awkwardly in a rainbow capitalism fair.

It's scary does anyone have tips on now to navigate gay bars as a BIPOC?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

i have no tips but be wary of handsy crackers.

fucking chasers and gawkers

I hate when people drive white or black Ford SUVs or full sedans.

Whenever I see them in my rearview mirror at night I always assume they're pigs and I get really nervous. Then when I realize it's just some Karen I get so pissed. Cop cosplaying fucking stormtrooper ass cars.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Do we count old-school, boat-sized Buicks (I'm talkin like, 225s and shit) as stormtrooper-assed cars? 'Cause I can't give up my grandmother's wagon, I'm sorry comrade

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No way, they're way too before my driving years to consider as cop cars. Those are gangster as fuck. That's an awesome car, comrade, congrats!

I meant to say only Ford SUVs and Ford full sedans are cop cars to me, as opposed to the Ford Focus or Fiesta or non-Ford full sedans.

They should have cops driving Ford Fiestas, that shit would be funny.

Been all over the place.

My mom got an operation done last week and she's been recovering well, but needs help doing anything strenuous. My dad hasn't been eating much lately and its reached to the point where, for the past few days, he's barely been able to get up. He has parkinson's so it makes it especially hard for him to move around. So my brother and I have been helping move him around, but its taken a lot out of physically, especially my brother who has back problems. Thankfully he's been doing a lot better today and looks like he should be able to move on his own in the next day or so.

Meanwhile work has been increasingly hectic. I had previously posted about it, but deleted the post just to be on the safe side. But there was some nonsense that happened over the weekend.

On a lighter note, things have been going well with my crush. Kinda dropped a hint of a date idea last weekend and I'm probably going to ask her out this weekend if everything else resolves itself.

Hi! I don't know if I should post this here but what would you guys include in a presentation on race and race-related issues in school?

We have mostly finished a presentation, but I may have missed some important topics. Topics included are:

  • Definition of race
  • Racism and its origins and examples
  • Microaggressions and examples
  • Privilege and examples
  • Example of discrimination


(I may make this a separate post as well if more details are needed)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Read Economics of Racism

though it won't answer the microaggressions thing

(Book came out in the 1990s)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! I'll give it a quick read.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I mean, it definitely makes good points, though, about eugenics in 1990s American life, but yeah, skim through some of it as it's a lot of statistics (though stick for the observations).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That's especially good as we were looking for statistics to talk about, especially ones that are contradictory (eg. one race more likely to hold drugs, another more likely to be arrested)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

This has plenty of statistics.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, maybe skim through it, it's about 200 pages

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Guess what day was it today... anyways, I just toured the capital city... also, Othello, it already feels like June to me....

Hint: kkkanada

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Christmas in July, maybe?

eh idk

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Another hint: something something Queen Victoria...

The flag is there for a reason...

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

D'oh!

For some reason, I thought "Australia joke" lol

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I mean, Canada is also burning as well... oof...

It's so fucked that my only white friend since elementary school is also by far the least racist friend I've had since elementary school because she's a communist

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Everyone should read the Economics of Racism by Victor Perlo.

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?
