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 nerds 
, hope you all have a good week 
Remember no crackers
Sometimes you really do know some on here are too online, western(ized) and propagandized. It becomes immediately obvious through their mannerisms and speech patterns. Especially when it comes to anti-imperialist actors internationally.
I would like to type so much - but I know it won’t help so I am exhibiting some self-control.
There's nothing left to explain, I don't need to tell white people anything anymore, there's genocides going on supported by their governments, it's so obvious and so clear, you're an enemy if you don't recognize it.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Always thinking back to the fact that someone who I'm on good terms with and still talk to these days posted this on social media:
CW: Whte Lberal Being a Whte Lberal
"Genuine anti-racism doesn't make exceptions. If your anti-racism includes demonizing white people, it's not anti-racism. It's just racism."
I'm just starting to tell those crackers that there is indeed anti-White racism and I openly espouse it. There was a meme about that but I can't find it.
We're not going to get some of them on board so I don't care anymore.
I made one a bit ago!
Yesss. That's the one. Haha
That's a good meme!!
It's just racism.
Systemic oppression of Whitey is a good thing, actually, and I'm tired of pretending it wouldn't be fucking awesome.
the poor whites facing racism and genocide in south africa 
Fucked up thing is all that Afrikaner family with no food has to do is post a video saying a slur to a poc kid and they're gonna make money
doing a paid course for Americans on new slurs towards black people
Don't get me started. Try calling someone in namibia or SA the K word you'll get stomped out something serious.
legit the weirdest slur I have ever learned about, like what do you mean white south Africans are using a Muslim word for non-believers in Islam as an slur to black people.
I was just about to say that. Youngest language I think so mandem were just making shit as they come. Their word unlike the muslim one has two f.
Looks like a global war is more likely to break out and economic collapse. If that happens and I go missing indefinitely it’s because I decided to live with the indigenous permanently lol
the indigenous comunities are probably going to be the least affected by the collapse of global trade so its a smart idea
one of the accounts that has been rising since the protests in LA is this Mexican chud that think only the anglos are capable of settler colonialism
evidence even latinos are capable of having brain worms
evidence even latinos are capable of having brain worms
Feel like latinos have the biggest, most insane brain worms out of anyone
A lot of brown Latin Americans think being mestizo makes them exempt from settler colonialism. One of my biggest pet peeves.
think being mestizo makes them exempt from settler colonialism.
As a mestizo Filipino, lol. lmao, even. The one drop rule will always come into effect, sometimes sooner rather than later.
its a raza cosmica beliver, so it a unique type of latino chud, also he has been push up by the patsocs on twitter so its one of those people too
What's this chud's point about that belief?
That iberians arent white people and poiting out spanish colonialism is a plot to divide people, probably some leyenda blanca believer, they also mention the raza cosmica which is an eugenist belief too
That iberians arent white people
Hmm...
poiting out panish colonialism is a plot to divide people, probably some leyenda blanca believer, they also mention the raza cosmica which is an eugenist belief too
:spain-cool: punitin ang sedula
I'm cheating on my dentist and I only go to them because I'm a lib. My main dentist is black owned they play good music and they're nice but my fillings keep falling out from them. The good dentist is not black owned and plays Taylor swift but they have sturdy fillings :(. It's been a multi year breakup for the black dentist but I can't fully let go
fucking hate libs. ''peaceful protesting'' is fine but the moment violence is used, that's too far. ICE deports people FFS. 
It really shows where their loyalties are. It's always on us to not be violent or confrontational. It's never the responsibility of racists to not be racist. I've had to deal with this a lot in my personal life with crackers letting other crackers say awful shit, but then when I argue with them about it I "ruined the holiday for everyone." Just shows how ingrained white supremacy is in the minds of white people.
This! This is a prototype for what they want to normalise not just for immigrants
I am back to restricting myself to c/em_poc and c/mutual_aid, and this time, I intend it to be permanent.
I can't post an innocuous thread without having issues, and truthfully, I've been feeling a vibe to quit Hexbear entirely, but I still need support from c/mutual_aid, and even once I get more stability (whenever the fuck that'll happen), I want to support users there as well. However, after I hang for some time (I don't know how long) after having employment and financial stability and whatnot, I will delete my account and possibly stop using this site entirely.
It will never get fixed. I might, at the very least, remain on an alt to post on this comm again—I don't know, but there's no hope.
I know @CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net said she'd miss my posts, and I'm sorry, but I'm glad you seem able to understand.
Through all the bullshit I've gone through since I first started using this site, thanks for being there for me, all you beautiful EMPOC comrades.
That poster was being ridiculous. Sorry you won't be posting as much, but I'm even sorrier you suffer so much when asses like that pop up. Do what you need to for your comfort <3
yep 
The freeform dreadlocks keep getting more and more 
no cap
Remember, you kicked the colonizers jaws, it didn't stop wanting to eat you
Making sure my siblings is with my dad more often when he goes out, heard immigration nearish where I live. My dad's a citizen but he does not speak English a lick. My mom's a legal resident and while the place she worked at tried to get in before the management told them to fuck off. Need to check in with extended family later on but damn
