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.

Hello my comrades have a good week 
Remember no crackers
Pokemon channel on yt started airing episodes in spanish, tuned in for a bit and it's solid. Even the songs were pretty good though hearing some of the english names of the pokemon said with a bit of an accent is goofy but love it all the same.
I decided to give an admittedly somewhat rushed effort at properly mixing the first song I ever wrote.
It's like a suite with 3 movements. I rewrote the first movement entirely. At first, it sounded a whole lot different, but I revised it because that was really the first full piece I ever wrote, and I thought it could've sounded so much better.
A clip of me practicing unclean vocals...
I usually don't share clips of me doing any vocals because I'm not too confident in 'em, but I'm learning a lot. I teach myself everything I know musically, including songwriting, playing instruments, and vocals.
This is the bridge of Metallica's song "Blackened," which isn't originally sung unclean because James Hetfield doesn't do unclean, but I think it works well in this style.
I'm still trying to get used to my style of unclean vocals, but I really like the low, guttural sound I've learned to achieve.

Kind of having birthday blues due to the isolation... no one IRL to celebrate it with. Gonna go to the park, get some sun, and hope that makes me feel better.
Pakistan has 247.5 million, India has 1.438 billion I can't imagine Europe doing anything but shooting refugees on sight.
edit: nothing ever happens
What the fuck is happening comrades is this war shit serious?? 🤢
Should we be stocking up on food and stuff??
PoC & EM should probably stock up on stuff as a habit because fascism is colonialism turned inwards. The chuds will have it out for us regardless of international diplomacy. People escaped Nazi Germany by having things to trade or use for bribes. Though I'm not sure how easy that will be, given ICE agents' feral nature.
