While Joe Biden spoke during the opening night at the convention a group of delegates who want to end the Israeli genocide managed to sneak in a banner which read, “Stop Arming Israel .” One delegate felt compelled to hit one of the protesters on the head with a sign. Others moved to cover up the banner and then began shouting, “We love Joe!” Nadia Ahmad is the Florida delegate who was struck on the head. “They’re up there talking about fascism and like hitting me on the head with ‘I love Joe’ signs. That’s not a good look,” she said in what is perhaps the biggest understatement of the convention.

Let me just say how much it fuckin sickens me that the community has gone from "Not Like Us" to falling in around Kamala like she's not the same Cop City-repping, 1033-funding, genocide-collaborating ghoul that Genocide Joe is, just with a misleader's coat of paint.

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?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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
