Hello my comrades have a good week 
Remember no crackers

Every Islamophobia wave has whites cry about suicide bombing as if it’s the worst crime imaginable, exactly what’s the difference between suicide bombing a bus and air striking that bus? Assholes watch liveleak footage of western helicopters mowing down rows of civilians and are unphased and make movies glorifying it then they give Muslims the stereotype of being the bombers.
The double standard is the point. Remember that whites aren’t consistent, they are nasty little hypocrites who will take every opportunity to demean minorities while praising their own for the same behaviour. Israel and Ukraine have been the most transparent examples of this, but there are countless others in everyday life.
and where did that bring you? Back to meFunny you say that cuz on Lemmygrad they’re having a “Wretched of the Earth” reading session.
Labor cannot emancipate itself in the white skin when in the black it is branded.
Too real… and I hate that it’s real, but that don’t make it any less realAnd white trans women are the white women of trans women
Can confirm this TOO much.
You’d think they’d get it, being women, and understand white people treat non-white people the way men treat women. Hahaahahaaa nope! You’ll hear all kinds of awful, homophobic, transphobic, racist shit come out of white women’s mouths when they think it’s safe to do so, just like their male counterparts.
We need an emoji for that hexbear who said something like “whiteness is the black hole all liberalism, reaction, and bigotry orbits.”
I find that white marginalized people often have this awful tendency to use their marginalized identity to make themselves total victims while avoiding all accountability for their complicity in white supremacy. I’ve gotten plenty of shit from white cishet men, of course, but I’ve also experienced totally disgusting bigotry and reactionary shit from white women, white gay people, white trans people, etc. I literally couldn’t say this more strongly: I am Black before anything else.
Have Black people been hateful towards me? Absolutely! No group of people, of course, comprises entirely of perfect saints who are devoid of a capacity for reactionary brainworms. In fact, with that in mind, I don’t have a family anymore because of this, but despite that, I’d take being in a room FULL of cishet Black people over being in a tiny circle of white queer people. I’m dead fucking serious.
I’ll take my chances with a group of random PoC before I’d trust the white half of my family. They’ll say the wildest shit when I’m standing right in front of them that makes me wonder what they say when I’m not around to push back.
Latinoamerican tiktok is making fun of the spaniards for their reaction during their big blackout, like they were panic buying essencials, some went to the streets scared that they wont have light again calling it a “historical event” and doomsday posting a lot.
it was really funny, specially since it lasted like 6 hours
So relieved Spaniards destroyed the land of my people, its cultures, and environment only to make infrastructure that doesn’t work. Really, I hope it worth the millions of bodies and centuries of oppression 🥰
Marg bar Espanya.
Many people are saying it, folks!
Several of the people who said the egg prices were too high are funding that racist trash who called an autistic kid the N word and several similar cases talm bout “standing up to these communities”. Hows that economic anxiety going? This ain’t a surprise. The cop in France who killed the muslim Nahel Merzouk raisraised 1.6 million and it was started by far right politician.
Happy birthday, John Brown
and…
guess who :>
Happy bday to you
Tyyy
Hap birth!
Truth is that the west an America never cared about queer rights, they made the Arab leaders strip dance for israel, yet they still permit them to kill gay people.
New kittens check
Oh they’re so precious, one of my aunt’s cats recently had kittens too!
Wow, they’re very cute. What are their names?
the white one is florencia and the orange milan (my mom and sister like italy)
Nice, but I would’ve gone with Fettuccini and Pepperoni.
What up homies
I’m hoping to get a job offer today… maybe I’m being too hopeful
Annnnnd of course they never called me even though they said they would. I shot a follow-up email. Maybe that’s futile, but meh.
Other thread closed, but I was gonna ask if your local org has paid positions like canvassing? (I’m guessing you already looked into that). Or you could do wrecker shit in the local Democrat organization lmao.
The other was if there’s a temp agency where you’re at. They’re always looking for people to put on your payroll and you will get a lot of work just by not being a fuckup. A lot of the places I temp’d wanted to hire me after working for a week or more until I made the mistake of telling them I was going back to school in the fall.
For comparison, I got called into one job at 10 AM after not getting the usual 6 AM call to assign work because the other temp didn’t show up. Makes you look good for doing nothing when your colleagues are doing stuff like that.
I actually worked with some lib org that does canvassing but work was incredibly limited, and they continued to misgender even though they claimed trans acceptance. I got hired by one temp-to-hire position but they forgot to tell me that I need a driver’s license to work with them and had to stop the onboarding in the middle of it… was really pissed.
Ugh I’m sorry to hear that. Of course libs are worse than useless. The temp agency I was at only required proof of address. Pedestrians and cyclists were welcomed because it was the start of the recession and the agency wasn’t going to leave money on the table turning away workers.
I really fucking hate our infrastructure in the US, especially as having a disability. You can’t go anywhere and everything is poorly laid out.
Nothing describes American culture better than the racist American president saying happy cinco de mayo while pushing racist shit against latino folks
Pretty wild seeing
putting “I’m legally here” in their dating profiles.I remember pre-BLM when White women used to have in their profiles “I’m not racist but I don’t date Blacks or Mexicans, sorry, it’s just cultural differences” then years later see the same profile floating around post-BLM and it was missing the disclaimer. Haha
Like Paul Mooney said, I like my crackers a little salty. I prefer they just announce it, not that I’m interested in dating anyone White anyway.
[CW: Me rambling about this disingenuous 'it's not bigotry—it's just a preference' shit—talking about queerphobia/biphobia/racism]
On this note, somewhere else online, I was recently seeing wild amounts of discourse about whether or not it’s biphobic for a lesbian to refuse to date a bisexual woman on the basis of her sexuality.
You had so many people myopically spewing out, “it CAN’T BE BiphObIC BEcauSE IT’s JUST a prEfereNCE!”
And I don’t understand how someone can be so narrow-minded when it comes to understanding that a statement like “Bisexual people are more likely to be cheaters” doesn’t magically become not biphobic just because you put a “I don’t want to date a bisexual person because…” in front of it. How does that logically even add up in their minds? The fact that they can so unabashedly and with so much conviction state these really emotionally charged takes about this subject just speaks on the oblivious nature of bigotry. It’s never about what’s true—it’s always about vibes.
Bigotry always manifests as a “preference,” but people just act like, for some reason, the nature of these bigoted preferences becomes not bigoted when it’s in the context of dating. An employer saying, “I only want to hire whites because they’re the smartest and most hard-working race” has a “preference” for white workers, and many people would think it’s ridiculous to say “This employer can’t be racist because it’s just a preference!”
And this goes both ways. Not only does this logic excuse bigoted EXCLUSIONARY dating preferences, but it also gives things like FETISHISM a pass. One thing I’m tired of is people acting like racial fetishism is not a form of racism. It is. Racial fetishism is rooted in harmful generalizations. There’s no denying that. People really think that just because a form of racism is “benevolent,” then that makes it not racism. This being false is one of the easiest things to understand about racism, but cracKKKers continue to get away with it because your average cracKKKer does not actually give a damn about unlearning white supremacy. So long as a form of racism is socially acceptable and easy for them to get away with, cracKKKers don’t tend to care about it. Anti-racism and statements against white supremacy serve as a virtue signaling game for them.
Am I glad you mentioned employment because that is precisely where my mind went as well.
Then they never question why they have these “”““preferences.””“” They’ll say the same weasel shit about trans people, too. I do not understand how a person can reject entire groups like that.
I don’t mean to hornypost, but Tyra Banks, Hunter Schafer, Salma Hayek, Ana de Armas, Halle Berry, and Pam Grier are all hot. How the hell do you match with people like that and be all “Sorry not into ______” as though they’re beneath you? You’re on a fucking app you should consider yourself lucky to match with anyone lmao.
I like how the overall nature of thsis site is shitposting and struggle sessions while the newsmega has entirely different vibes. Much more serious in comparison.
then there’s a little pocket over here where we complain about everywhere else
it was gonna happen eventually with the grow of the site
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 personally
spoiler
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
- tho I spose we don’t know exactly how these vampires work. Is bloodthirst an addiction? Does a vampire need to convert someone every time they drink blood? Can you be 
vampire? Does being a vampire fuck with your empathy when no master vampire is around? Annie seemed to have a pretty negative view of the whole “vampires fucking with souls” experience and she seemed to know what she was talking about… We want answers!
exclusion
i hate that i have roots from everywhere but i’m welcome nowhere. ostracized from my arab country because i’m only half-native, would be ostracized from russia because i’m not slavic and my skin is brown, i’d be ostracized from the only central asian country i have ties to because of their growing russophobia. also precluded from having a good life in all 3 of those countries because of trans.
anyway learning chinese and fucking off there just so i can add one more country to this lovely ostracismlist.
I never knew you were POC and ethnic minority but welcome :07:
Thanks
I guess it was easier to clock me on my prev account because I’d occasionally interact with the arabic speakers on the news mega, but that doesn’t happen anymore since they all left
