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.
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.

Saw Sinners a couple days ago - great movie. Wasn't expecting it to get so real
spoiler
When they talk about that night being the only slice of freedom they could get, and white supremacy tried to destroy it like everything it touches...nearly had me tearing up by the end thinking "it can't be like this forever".I loved the vampire leader and his attempts to relate the oppression of the Irish to our black protagonists, how they were forced to abandon their culture and language and work for the benefit of a parasite class - literally so he can get in and kill them! It created some real sympathy for a second before reminding "DON'T TRUST WHITEY!". I wasn't expecting this visceral representation of people seeking respite from white supremacy and the realities of "assimilation" in my vampire horror movie.
Oh, and the music was just perfect. The scene of spirits of past and future visiting was beautiful and tragic in the face of what was to come - and melancholy in the context of the society they lived and we continue to live in.
Michael B Jordan was great as the twins, but I loved Wunmi Mosaku. She killed it as Annie. I thought Smoke's last scene was fun but was a bit of a cheesy tonal shift - the violent catharsis after the night of tension was maybe necessary though, and I did get teary at him seeing Annie and holding his baby.
I give it 9/10 pure kino.
Sinners
I loved the "free"folk paying in whatever they can because they themselves aren't paid in real money and community just letting things slide because that's how we survive. Small tidbit but I felt that in my core. I wasn't convinced to NOT be a vampire personallyspoiler
Wouldn't mean much if it wasn't tempting right? Feel like they'd be sacrificing their own will for that of the master vampire though - they'd have community but I don't know how much agency & personality they have while he's still around. Seemed like they were free to do as they wished after he exploded though, wouldn't necessarily mind that...Sinners
My friend bought up the same point so I said simply kill the main one first to liberate the vampires, turn your friends, and then go turnup on the kkk and liberate the country.spoiler
