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?
- Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

That's actually so sick! Stay clear of Boeing
No Boeing for the foreseeable future unless they start building buses
I'm unironically beginning to hope Trump wins the election if it means deescalation in Ukraine and end of the NATO Empire.
Nothing will change for Palestinians and things will slightly accelerate in the US, but at least it's not nuclear catastrophe.
ALL HEXBEAR USERS ARE MAGA, WARNING ALL HEXBEAR USERS ARE MAGA, HEXBEAR USERS LIKE TRUMP, HEXBEAR USERS ARE RUSSIAN BOTS TRYING TO GET YOU TO VOTE FOR TRUMP, ALL HEXBEAR USERS ARE MAGA
Trump is the harm reduction candidate. TRUMP 2024
My POV 8 hours later:
At least liberals actually gave a little bit of a shit about minorities when Trump was in power, with Biden we just get gaslit all day.

Anyone think this is weird. American liberals seem to start to care about these issues (that are inherent) with their justice system (and to be honest, their entire country) only when it's a black guy getting coverage by MSM. Could be entirely my feed/fyp but this guy Clarence Thomas seems to get proportionally more coverage than Alito or the other ones whose names I can't be even assed to care about, and it's just complaints about a very basic issue that should have been obvious under Saint RBG, and also applies to the insider trading in congress.
Yuh, I think so...

Lesgo... l'chaim to Stalin!
Can anyone please recommend any good Leftist or Marxist books arguing against overpopulation?
The first chapter about the multiplied agricultural output in Conquest of Bread is argument enough for the silly position.
Wowee. I haven't read anything on it, but I really hate Malthusian talking points that you can find all over the political spectrum.
Been texting with my crush on a semi-regular basis for the first time in ever after having her number for about a year. On the one hand its actually been pretty good so far. She's initiated a couple of convos. On the other hand nothing makes me more anxious than texting. There's times where we shoot off a few texts, then others where its like hours and my social anxiety goes off. I keep thinking maybe I said something wrong and I really shouldn't think like that lol. I just can't help it.
I feel envious when some people who can get easily recognized as a fellow countrymen, and likely be spoken to, in their native tongues, due to their accents...
how do i adhd and dissertation at the same time
touching grass is stressful sometimes. im so awkward talking to strangers about socialism. i feel like i look gross today. parking is gonna be awful. uuhg

The funniest thing about Hasbra bots is that whenever I'm arguing with them I can tell they're bots because they can't stop themselves from being racist, like had an argument with one that said "but you have to consider how arabs/Muslims talk about jews" like we're a hive mind or that us being anti semitic is 100% given lmao
