Previous thread is over here.

I forgot to update this yesterday since I was at work.

As usual: no crackers allowed.

Here, you can:

vent

chat

gush

inquire

etc.

about, well, anything, ig.

Bonus discussion question:

What are your favorite books about BIPOC and EM people?

Could be about individuals, a few individuals, or a social history (or, well, everything having to do with EM_BIPOC peoples).

Mine is kind of a “basic opinion” but it’s:

An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.

Read it right when it came out.

And I knew it was going to be a “classic” (or, at least, on many peoples’ “to-read” lists).

Of course, I’m an obscurist, sort-of. I recommend more obscure works, but this one really stood out to me back when it first came out. I had a professor that also recommended the book and had us all read it in class. I believe they were Apache.

On the topic of “obscure” works, I would recommend Henry Winston’s Strategy for a Black Agenda, which is my favorite work on such topics as Pan-Africanism and violence vs. non-violence (and whether and how to use both or when).

Anyway, take care!

    I don’t really like that brand of comedy. It’s no better than some white supremacist making more “mask off” racial jokes and then saying they aren’t really racist because they have one black friend.

    One of my coworkers (also POC) watches a bunch of conservative white comedians that say racist shit all the time and he finds it funny.
