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?

I was already fucking done with westerners, but the genocide and the bombing of Iran sealed it, there's nothing to expect from them or any hope from them, lost cause not different than Germans in the 40s, there's multiple concentration camps massacres happen every day, then your country bombs a random country's NUCLEAR FACILITY FOR THE GOAL OF MAKING IT LEAK and they still act like it's normal even better, they criticize us in our countries for being authoritarians or aggressors or whatever the fuck george orwell words they learned in 7th grade reading.

They act like hitler is some kinda messiah. Him dying washes away their sins or some shit and they have a clean slate to do more fuckeries and we're supposed to turn a blind eye to it.

This site is still incredibly white and racist.

One of the most popular chuds was calling to feed 65 million migrants to the gators in florida, aka the 65 million latinos living in the USA

ICE is just the US version of the gestapo at this point

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Mandem saying "who's gonna pay for healthcare" quiet about that 70 or so billion budget for ICE Gestapo

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the gators and the latinos uniting together to eat the crakkkers and create a truly revolutionary state

Stupid mfs cosplaying agents and going to sanctuary cities gulag

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Bit idea: we dress up as ICE agents and go to sanctuary cities where we arrest real ICE agents and deport them back to Europe. We give all their stuff to immigrants they were trying to attack.

It feels really concerning that there are cases where I'd feel infinitely more respected by a Black conservative than I would a white leftist (even though, obviously, neither of them would be truly respectful).

Yesterday, I said to myself in the morning, "I haven't had doubles in a long time. Maybe I should go to the Caribbean shop sometime soon."

Then shortly after I go on Instagram, I see a post from this vegan recipe account by this Black British man I follow. He primarily shares African, Latin American, and Caribbean dishes, and this time, he shared a recipe for doubles.

I find it a fascinating coincidence!

Can't forget that time I was getting along really well with this Black queer vegan leftist until they found out I'm an ML and said "Sorry, I hate tankies and campists."

Wew... this person was certainly interesting. They told me they don't care about content for Palestine because it seems "trendy." (WTF)

So many vibes, and none of them feel right.

Finally got to a point where I was able to sing through a whole song using unclean vocals and didn't need to take a break.

Unfortunately, I didn't record it yet, but this is a huge accomplishment because I used to feel weak as shit doing this even after just a single verse. This time, it felt incredibly easy, relaxed, and natural yet the growls still sounded fierce as fuck.

I did this so casually. I was just doing some dishes, and then I just randomly started singing the lyrics to "Pull the Plug" by Death. I sang the whole way through with my unclean technique.

I've been trying to practice my uncleans a lot more often because I felt like I was giving the cleans more love as of late, but I'm gonna practice both whenever I can!

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

already got this much done

I'm thinking to write a bridge that leads into a guitar solo and then go from there with one more verse/pre-chorus/chorus section. After that, some sort of outro will close out the song, and that will conclude track 8 out of 9!

My team is down 3: 1 permanent. I keep breaking my back to get things done, but my friend said let it all fail so they know it's unreasonable to have 3 less people and keep up same amount of output. Since I'm in charge I worry it'll backfire; I also worry that they know I'm not the type to let things fail which is why they overloaded me.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty much in a similar situation for the past 3+years. Took forever to add a 4th person because we were seeing a much higher volume of work.

That person only lasted about 3 months before they quit. Never got replaced. With the experience we had gained we were able to handle the volume of work, but only because we were just that good at the job and we picked up extra shift.

One of the people from our 3 person crew left and we struggled to replace them because the base pay is shit. Finally replaced them after some turnover over a year. The new person isn't quite as reliable. Had the other person get promoted and their replacement has been similarly unreliable.

Now I'm doing my best balancing helping them with the work they do plus all the responsibilities I have as a lead all while the higher up occasionally mention adding another person, which we already had. I'm so fucking tired, but I know looking g for another job is going to be hell and somehow they're still ok with how things are even though we've had a drop in the quality of our work.

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Our quality dropped too! But no one's saying anything so I'm not bringing it up either. There's too much work

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

I find it funny that the people cheering on CECOT were absolutely terrified at the idea of us hosting migrants in our prisons. They hate the migrants but fear taking on the US’s unwanted will lead to backlash if a Dem gets into power.

I feel bad that I suddenly got a very strong craving for hot dogs on CracKKKer Independence Day because it kinda felt like I was "celebrating," but I said "Fuck it!"

I made these out of tofu
