Remember, EM POC only!
Welcome to EM POC weekly, comrades. Say whatever you got on your mind! Someone piss you off? Something amazing happen? You just wanna talk about how you’re doing today?
Whatever it is, have at it!
I hate when my distrust of white people proves to be right, lol. I’m at a new college (which is a PWI) and they put us in groups to do orientation activities together, and in that group I think I am one of three(?) non-white students not counting the leader of the group. Yesterday I was doing an activity with that group and I was the only non-white student in the group who showed up, and I had to hear this white person go on and on about how much he would have loved to go back to the Victorian Era because the dresses! The dresses, everyone! Like it was five straight minutes of this before I eventually got to interject that if I went back to the Victorian Era I would be watching my country get torn apart and looted by imperialists. The same white person then went on to make very ableist comments and took offense to me calling them out on it. Thankfully the leader of my orientation group, who was the only other non-white person in the room, stood up for me and made her apologize for being ableist. But yeah I think this person hates me now, and good riddance lol I’m glad that they hate me. If he liked me I would probably be doing something wrong.
You know, they could wear those dresses TODAY (!!!) but nooooooo their white ass wants to go back in time to the victorian era and shit
People were literally saying that in response and he kept insisting that “nooo it’s different”. I guess the dresses don’t feel the same without British imperialism destroying the Indian cotton industry

Without further context, I would’ve brushed it off, but Jaysus, to that extent…?
Tsk tsk, tis like a Wehraboo sayin’ “I only like Germany for the uniforms”
Sat in on a class on Cuba yesterday. Seems like it would have some useful information on the history of colonialism and imperialism in Cuba, but presented through a lib lens. Disappointed but not surprised, my communist friend and I agreed that we would not be taking this class. I know that if I were to attend that class it would just be a class of me arguing with people the whole time.
When I’m in an Islamophobic sinophobic competition and my opponent is a liberal talking about how Muslims don’t recognize the Uigur “genocide”
Some ppl… yk, since the dawn of “Judaism ≠ Zionism”, I think it should be mentioned that “Islam ≠ Takfiri Terrorism McJihadism ™”, since the latter two are now supported by Western powers, for their own goals…
I dislike the western usage of “Jihadism” meaningless word, Jihad is an important part of Islam and by its definition, even secular groups like the PFLP are considered doing Jihad, but the way westerners defiled the usage of the word makes it seem like Jihad is the act of killing the innocent to establish Hijab Harem law or some nonsense. the last is called western backed Takfiri terrorism, Al Qaeda, Isis and their friends.
For those who don’t know “jihad” is the word for “struggle” in Arabic. We have jihad all the time on hexbear with jihad sessions.
“Sharia” is the same perversion. It’s just the Arabic word for “law.” “Sharia law” is nonsensical because it’s like saying “lawful laws.” Fox News loves touting out that study where they asked Muslim Americans if they support Sharia, which of course they do because there isn’t a person on the planet who thinks we should have zero laws.
I apologize for that… hence the trademark, but I’ll change the name for something more accurate
[CW: Spiel Regarding My Feelings on Racist Backhanded Compliment]
When I anonymously mention my race online and someone says, “I don’t believe you’re black because you type too intelligently to be black,” I sometimes genuinely have mixed feelings. Like, on one hand, fuck you for being a racist asshat, but on the other hand, if you take away the backhanded nature of this comment, all it’s really saying is “You’re quite articulate.” Although, by the standards of anyone who says this, they probably have absurdly low expectations for black people because they likely haven’t interacted with too many in real life. Their idea of what a black person is might be more likely to stem from 4chan memes. For these people, a black person knowing basic math could be enough for them to say this disgusting shit.
