Hello all! @[email protected] is taking a well-deserved break so I’ll be posting the mega in the foreseeable future. How are we all doing? I truly can’t believe it’s almost 2025.

REMEMBER, EM POC ONLY!!!

    again people just don’t get there ass beat enough nowadays. racism would be much less prevalent if we made it socially acceptable to pop someone in the mouth for saying a slur

      See, people are still getting beat, just the wrong ones… Im pretty young and I regularly was beaten and called slurs growing up, but I also was in an actual klan town in Appalachia so idk if that’s representative of the US as a whole

          There’s a town about 30 minutes over from where I live where the klan is still active and even though it’s not a sundown town anymore…it’s still a sundown town. I don’t even stop there in daylight hours and drive straight through. My sister used to live in the town even further, so she had to drive through there constantly (though she’s white). I remember her telling me “If we have to stop for whatever reason, do not get out of the car.”

          A lot of people trapped there in poverty, too. I’ll run into people from there who are white that mention trying to get out because they don’t want to be around klansmen. And of course, the cops in that town all have white sheets in their closet.

        yeah like you said there’s so much violence still being perpetrated but like always, they’re always punching down. I grew up in a more “liberal area” of the west coast so thankfully other than slurs and systemic issues the only violence i ever faced was state sponsored from cops, but i know even over here in the eastern parts of the coast states there’s a huge issue of more and more neo nazis flocking to and around places like idaho. The US is and will always be a settler colonialist project, i just wish i could engage with the racists in the uhhh… free market place of ideas.
