EM POC ONLY

Thank you. With that aside, welcome to this week’s featured EM POC thread.

I’m not sure if it was a liberal or Trumper (the fact I can’t tell is damning in itself) yelling outside of my building about getting out to vote and started yelling "Its deportation time"

randomly remembered my first interaction with an American, was during the first Trump presidency, I was in some game’s clan, I barely spoke English and didn’t know much about the U.S., a person in the clan said they were American and I instantly replied with something in the idea of “Trump bootlicking evil doer living in inequaly” it was a whole rant but I think I talked about Iraq and how the rich waste money on coke in the same country people die homeless, I got kicked and I stopped playing that game.

Edit: my mom was talking to me and referred to MLK.Jr and Malcolm x as “those guys who did Jihad for Black people to have rights” because she forgot their names

That’s the most based way I’ve ever heard the Civil Rights Movement described; let your mother know she’s adored for that one

Yeah, seems about right

European SSocdems do kinda be like that, before they fully realized that EU’s interests is linked with NATO

Makes me wonder: How were you politically, before?

No, it’s supposed to be a good thing, my family is Muslim, I just found it funny that she referred to it as Jihad instead of activism or fighting for rights

Curious if any other trans people share this sentiment with me but the whole trans thing ended up being a lot less big of a deal than I thought

It’s infinitely easier for me to find cis people who are cool with me being trans than Americans who aren’t weird about me being a minority

Due to the nature of intersectionality, I feel as if discrimination against my blackness and my transness are already usually meshed together as one thing anyway. Sometimes, it just seems like one side of the two is emphasized far more than the other, but ultimately, to answer your question to the best of my ability: I’m generally far more comfortable hanging out with black cishet people than I am doing so with white trans/queer people.

I have less attachment to being transgender. I don’t really think of myself like that much. I’m just a woman and I’d like to be treated as one by the people around me. I have very little in common with almost every other trans person I have met in real life.

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?

  • 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.
