I talked to a white liberal feminist online who assumed that I'm crazy excited that a black woman is on the ticket. She also was saying "That'll show those Trumpies, right?" I went onto ignore this person, shrugged my shoulders, and my usual "Crackers, man, I tell ya." voice in my head nudged me.

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.

MODERATORS
It pisses me off on a fundamental level that I'm watching the Drone King Dickride Effect happen in real time.
It's even worse because Obama had not been VP for a government that was openly committing what everyone can see is an obvious deliberate genocide.
It is blatantly obvious that Kamala Harris is a Nazi, but her campaign team slapped some blue and red on her in the style of Obama's campaign posters and liberals really decided that aesthetic matters more than the hundreds of thousands of civilians whose blood drenches her clothes
It's no wonder conservatives think idpol is just virtue signaling. Any interaction with white """moderates""" is like this. Of course, instead of realizing liberals are fucking useless, conservatives double down on their chuddery. Non-whites meanwhile have our voices drowned out. Libs want to "show the Trumpies" and the reactionaries shoot up a school or a synagogue or a grocery store.
Absolutely nothing gets done. But I guess it's great Kamala got to "slam" Trump or "really go after" McConnell.
Relevant meme I made a bit ago
lol does Jesse Lee Paterson actually have any black fans? The majority of his followers are white boomers who are entertained by his Uncle Tom persona.
Unfortunately, if there can be one JLP, there can be multiple JLPs.

There are so many of those goobers on YouTube. It's crazy to there are JLPs under 40.
Last week I got dogpiled and driven out of the politics chat of a group of white liberal friends from college (or more properly their shitty friends) for daring to point out how Kopmala uses her identity to sell liberals on fascism. Apparently pointing out the obvious = a personal attack on some fragile white genocide denier who was reading from the sidelines and chose to make it about her. So uncivil 🙄
Congrats to the dogpilers, now there is not a single poc voice in that chat because I got better things to do with my life than try to teach white liberals that the rest of us aren't subhuman
The common white liberal tendency to feign anti-racism for brownie points instead of actually listening to POC voices.
Black Agenda Report doesn't get enough love in leftist circles. They aren't perfect (but they are damn good outfit in my book) but I think need more "views" for lack of a better. I have had their podcast in my rotation since 2019.
Hot fire from M-I-C.
