Remember, EM POC only!
This message is to my EM POC comrades: Angel loves all of you.
Especially as of late, I have truly been feeling like this community has worked wonders in keeping me stable when it comes to handling the massive jar of mayo that this site can be sometimes.
How are you all?
Am I the only person who finds it a little weird when white people start calling other white people cracker (half this site)? Like we can’t even be racist to white people without them stealing that too smh
its their way of jacking off about how they are the good enlightened whites. I fucking hate it, its always the people who do the least self crit too, that do it the most, and its more then half the site.
Yeeees, it’s like a competition to them, feels really performative
Being performative is their culture
And who says white people don’t have culture?

Oh yes. Its cringe and weird af
They call each other cracker and tell eachother to go back to Europe and shit, it feels like they’re getting the satisfaction of being racist but without the shame of an unacceptable target
half this site
Realizing the majority of the newsmega is also just white people…
betrayl
I feel like a lot of online queer spaces are absolutely overrun with white libs who don’t think that they have the capacity to be racist, despite… constantly being very ignorant and offensive. Really, really weird bubbles. Has anyone else experienced this?? 😭
Somehow, they also end up being shocking degrees of discriminatory within the LGBTQ+ community. Transphobia, enbyphobia, and bi/panphobia are shockingly common in mainstream LGBTQ+ spaces, meaning I’m not talking about those obscure “LGBDroptheT” type forums with a very small base of users.
For sure. I’m remembering all the tweets that used to come up during June that were like “happy pride month to everyone EXCEPT FOR (LGBTQ+ identity that the poster personally hates)” ???
That’s all marginalized groups that aren’t based on race, unfortunately
Edit: actually not even the ones based on race are immune from thinking they’re above any form of bigotry
Does getting told “get married to a person in the west” count as that?
holy shit
like hexbear lol
Hi! Comrades! I’m from somewhere in Southeast Asia. I just picked up drawing as a hobby recently because I’ve got more free time from work after those crazy OT periods, still… no overtime means no overtime pay for me, so I’m kinda struggling with money issue now, so I have to use some of my savings to pay bills 😕. Factory job sucks. And wow, can’t believe I’ve been on this instance for 1 year already.
Feels bad for yer financial predicament

Thank you. All my best writing is born out of immense suffering. I wish I didn’t have to suffer so much. I’m so tired

Thank you so much. I shouldn’t have checked this at work I’m sobbing right now. I’m so scared and heartbroken. When they told me about the longstanding problems they thought I’d leave them over it, but instead I said I wanted to address all the problems so that we could look back on this as the moment we really turned things around and made our relationship healthier than ever. They said they would like that, but since then it seems they’ve broken too hard to be able to do the work with me. Thanks for giving me a shred of hope that even if we break up now we may be able to reconnect.
I AM ONCE AGAIN ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO JOIN EMPOCHA THE ELEMENT HEXBEAR EM POC CHAT ROOM. COME CHAT!!!
Its to late atm. Im gonna check it out tomorrow after work.
I passed the ELDT
which basically means I have satisfied the minimum FMCSA requirement to start the commercial skills test.
I also backed up a bus three times today and didn’t hit any cones or encroach the boundary lines!
NICEEEEEEEEE
Woo!
ayy nice
reading the origins of American sayings: aaaaaah it goes back white people doing something awful okay
Every single day I am reminded that literally everything in america goes back to white people being racist if you go back far enough

Voting is a prime example. I cannot imagine caring so much about what other people are doing that I would deliberately stand in line for hours just to make sure they stand there for hours, too. You’d think every state would have mail-in ballots, e-mail ballots, plenty of voting stations, etc. etc. just to make the process as convenient as possible.
But no. People would rather spend a vacation day off work to go stand in line for hours than make it easier for us undesirables to vote. And voting is like the simplest thing to do. Reactionaries are against healthcare, education, etc. because they think it’s better 1,000 innocents die than one guilty person get something they maybe/possibly/sometimes don’t deserve.

Hello my friends
I’m eastern european who sadly ended up in the ukkk, so I’m posting here to say hello. I’m very aware that I don’t really experience racism like a lot of my comrades here, so I won’t take up too much space mouthing off, unless I’ve got something to share in the replies or need to scream about some xenophobic bullshit, hope that’s cool.
Sending love to all my em poc comrades
yall are the EM in em poc, if you experience structural racism or your people have been pogromed/ ethnically cleansed and that shit still affects you this is a place for you. if your life experience is indistinguishable from the ethnic group at the top of the hierarchy in which you live this is not the space for you. also you must be mindful not to talk over poc!

Ummm,I honestly thought we weren’t allowed here lmao
I’m kinda replying here because I am only surprised to see this
That’s why I usually avoid this comm,btw if the
rule applies to us too, please remove this commentdeleted by creator

Eastern Europeans who experience structural racism/targeted white supremacist violence are allowed. they are the EM part of em poc . they still gotta be mindful of their privilege though, and not talk over poc, or they will be banned with prejudice.

It is the “ethnic minorities” comm. Eastern Europeans may not experience colorism and whatnot, but they are often excluded from whiteness.
Again, this just shows how arbitrary whiteness is. It’s not about defining specifics. It’s about excluding the other.
IMO Eastern Europeans probably fit the comm so long as they don’t try and pull the ladder up behind them. But it is ultimately up to the mods and I’m half cracker so I could be out of line.
Also, are there any Roma/travelers here on Hexbear? I don’t think I’ve seen them if there are.
But it is ultimately up to the mods and I’m half cracker so I could be out of line.
Great, then yer an ethnic minority: a Hapa!

Good LUCK ! You can do it > sending positive energy

everything sucks so fucking much, everything is so fucking pointless, nothing ever gets better white people will never get better, they will always just try to hurt you for fun.
they dont want to get better, they never will, they take pleasure from hurting people. all they want to do is hurt black people. nothing will ever fucking get better.
My contempt continues to grow. Yesterday I was pointing out racism as a motivator for Trump supporters. Like clockwork, whitey came out with “Well some of them are just undereducated and don’t know any better.” When I responded with how the cruelty is the point, they are deliberately racist, and stop trying to dismiss the choices they actively choose to make, it was time to move on to another subject.
I’ve known MLK was right before I read Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It’s like I’ve known it my whole life. I’d rather fight to the death than deal with these fucking “”““moderates””“” who constantly run cover for racists that hurt people just because they’re white in a white supremacist system.
I hate how socialism got washed out of poc historical figures, like many activists and revolutionaries were outright open socialists like literally you read their autobiography and they say in it “we must achieve socialism” but no one talks about it.
This reminds me of how V***h claimed that Fred Hampton is one of his biggest inspirations for why he became a leftist, even though the
says a lot of anti-“tankie” stuff. Leftism is seriously just flashy aesthetics for so many people, especially many white “leftists.”The same mfs quoting Mandela for peace would’ve called for him to be hanged
Its part of the process of propagandizing the populace in America (and of course that gets exported due to America’s soft power).
I’d like to think I had a relatively decent education, but it wasn’t until late in high school that I started getting exposed to the more leftist elements of the Civil Rights movement. Even then I don’t remember learning much about some of the leaders of the Black Panthers because usually they are just mentioned in passing. Malcolm X is always presented as a problematic figure. MLK is completely white washed and you’re beaten over the head with “I have a dream” and the effectiveness of peaceful disobedience. And thats not even going into international POC socialist leaders.

White leftists do a phenomenal job at reminding me how little daylight exists between them and their full-fascist settler brethren
Word. I have accounts on other fediverse instances and I never fucking use them for that reason, they’re not all that different from reddit. Hexbear at large is the only place that seems decent and if it didn’t have this comm I don’t know that I’d want to be on this site either.
If you did make a Cookout I’d join
Iirc there is a mastodon instance specifically for black people so I think something like that for Lemmy could definitely work!
I don’t use Twitter or its clones because I prefer message board style formats so I’d enjoy that
There will be soy burgers at The Cookout.
I run https://novo-atlantis.null.media/ which is meant to have a vibe kinda like that. We’re super tiny, the only active posters are myself and an anarchist belarussian refugee. My white friend owns the actual server hardware, but they aren’t involved in admin aside from the hosting. I threw a bunch of shit up so we’d have a TOS and to avoid the massive racism problems on the fediverse, we only do allow list federation. There’s a lot of spanglish in there and I had hoped to build some kind of border vibes thing, but I’ve been struggling just to live.
Happy to change things up too if you want to collab. Won’t hurt my feelings if you don’t

- Forget how KKKolonized this site is
- Browse outside of c/em_poc
- See some cracKKKer shit that weirds you out
- Go back to em_poc to post something like this to preach to the choir about how you’re fed up with this site’s disgusting whiteness
- Take a break
- Repeat
Hexbear will never not be a demonstration as to why even “”““based honKKKies””“” do not deserve your trust.
only slept like 4h today
I wouldn’t say I’m doing ok, but I would say I’m
