im newsed out y’all, too much is happening I need a boring week. how yall doing? come chat, vent, and joke. em poc only. also ive been seeing an uptick in misogynoir on hexbear. its fine to attack kamala for being a bad person and what not yall but please make sure you are checking yourself for brain worms yall you are not immune to misogynoir. think “if a leftist black women came here and read my comment, would she feel uncomfortable?” “am I keeping this a welcoming space for black women”
call kamala a coon if you want but saying shes less black because shes a ghoul is inherently antiblack. remember joe bidens “if you dont vote for me you aint black jack?” yeah dont to the exact same thing, please. black people are human not a monolith hivemind, black people can be evil like any other human and it doesn’t make them less black. it can make them a traitor to their community but its important to know that respectability politics WONT work. you can never bow and scrape your way out of blackness. repeat offenders will be banned i need some of yall (you hopefully know who you are) to be more normal if we are ever gonna get more black women on here.
It is interesting theyre only commenting on her blackness when she’s biracial and wears a blow out 24/7…
yeah no one would ever say shes less indian for being a lib, although most indian people already dont claim her because shes also black, if she was half Indian and half white they would claim her. which its why its so funny when libs do the whole “kamala will appeal to asian voters because shes indian” lolololol. yeah sure.
Preach. Sure, she has a diverse background, but let’s not pretend Indians (or really any other Asian-Americans) will be enticed to vote for her solely due to her Indian heritage.
My apologies for the joke I made last session
I’ll be quiet on that if I can’t curb my behavior…
appreciate the self crit comrade. its not just you i will say there were some others on other comms. i wanted to nip the issue in the bud quickly.
E X A C T L Y !
I have been on that tip for awhile. The whole “BLACK EXCELLENCE®©™” thing to me is exactly this. Becoming the first black CEO of a Nightmare Industry MEGACORP doesn’t make one less black at all, it just means your black, and it means your evil. You’re not evil because your black, and your blackness doesn’t shield you from your evil.
I don’t like how everything to meme but it’s literally the " 👏 MORE 👏 WOMEN 👏 DRONE 👏 PILOTS 👏" thing.
What’s the line on food insults (banana, coconut, Oreo)? For example, calling someone a banana is mostly an insult on how that Asian person is whitewashed and isn’t in touch with their roots. Is there a difference between saying a POC is whitewashed and saying a POC is not a POC due to X reasons because those are two very different things to me.
Or is your point that even though Harris has shitty politics, she isn’t particularly whitewashed and is just a Black/Blasian woman with terrible politics?
ok yes terms like banana and criticizing someone for being out of touch with their culture is fine, but you cant invalidate someone’s POC status. You can understand why we would not want that to be normalized around here. also we all agree that a lot of the policing of the behavior of POC is very cringe (like saying someone acts white for listening to a certain music genre, or just not meeting a stereotypical expectation.) there will be no hard ban on words but issues will be dealt with on a case by case basis. in short you can’t say someone who is unambiguously poc is white, but you can make fun of them for being out of touch with their respective communities. Edit sorry had to check something first
I agree with this. Sounds reasonable.
i have some thoughts but I shall discuss with the other em poc mods then get back to this comment.
That’s cool. I think it’s important to have a consistent and explicit line.
