there is absolutely no POC solidarity in this bitch. none.
latinos heavily voted for trump and then the media of course blamed black people for not voting democratic enough. i'm tired.
you jack our culture. you wanna say the n word. you call us slurs and then wanna be at the party and smile in our faces?
fuck every last one of you republican voting latino motherfuckers.
don't ask black people for another motherfucking thing.
this goes to the lgbtqa community that voted for trump
for the women who voted for trump
for the poor people who voted for trump.
don't ask my black ass for another motherfucking thing. pull ya bitch asses up by ya bootstraps you raggidy bitches.

i wanna see more solidarity between black people and jewish people. there are a concerning amount of similarities in our history and oppression, and with the way things are going we need to learn from each other and protect each other more than ever (not to mention black jews who are rarely acknowledged)
#mj.txt#judaism#black power#poc solidarity#<- i know not all jewish ppl are poc but im not sure what other tag would be appropriate

armand betraying louis and claudia is actually a commentary on poc solidarity and why it’s often called a myth.
claudia was in awe of armand, a man of color darker than both of them, running this (mostly white i’m pretty sure and if not it’s still a feat) vampire coven and he’s respected and admired and beloved and she looks up to him but he still treats her like shit. he didn’t want her to experience what he did but he never even gave her a chance or got the chance to know her. also he was jealous of her bond with louis. he says he loves louis but either sides w/the coven during arguments takes a neutral stance or doesn’t say anything bc antiblackness is not seen as a dealbreaker for non black poc

Very telling how and a lot of these oh no Trump is going to be president again posts never mention black people. To be exact most of you mention every group but black people. And if we're being completely honest that's the reason why we lost the election. Y'all have never wanted to acknowledge how deeply racist this country is, including yourselves. Black people have been telling you for years every single time you tried to gaslight us with "you guys make everything about race!". Everything is about race idiot. We've been telling y'all that. But Y'all don't understand that because you don't actually care about us and our causes, our safety, just our labor in relation to how it benefits you. Y'all don't care about how negative of an effect Trump's presidency had on the black community. You don't care about how many more black people died because of violence he incited because you don't care about black people. The only reason a lot of y'all care now is because you realized you fucked your own communities over but before that the majority of you were totally fine with the idea that we were going to be one of his main targets, yet again.
And that is why we lost. We lost because there is a huge disconnect between black people and everyone else a part of the Democratic party. A lot of the rights that minority and marginalized groups in this country take for granted were fought for solely or very heavily by black people. A lot of y'all have never had to fight for rights alone in this country like we have. We have consistently been on our own. Yeah there may have been a couple of stragglers along the way willing to attempt to help us but we have always had to fight for stuff by ourselves. It's the reason why black people were the only ones to make the right decision because we have never forgotten how hard our ancestors had to fight for us to get here.
Every time I come on here I see Y'all talking about how the government has put a lot of effort into making it seem like a lot of the rights that were fought for by black people were fought for a long time ago. And to a degree you guys are right but secretly what I've always known is that a part of that issue is the fact that you guys have the privilege of not knowing how recent those events were. Black people we don't and never really have. From the moment we are born, an African American, our elders made sure that we knew so that we would never take for granted the rights that we have now. Like the right to vote. This election season Y'all acted like people asking you to utilize your right to vote was some form of oppression and not a privilege.
So many minority and marginalized groups throughout this election have taken for granted the rights that they have in this country because a lot of them didn't necessarily have to fight for them like we did. And even when y'all did have to fight for them, you didn't have the United States government throwing the full force of everything they have at you to attempt to destroy your efforts and community like we have. We cannot afford to be ignorant and privileged like y'all have been. We have never been afforded the privilege of forgetting how hard our ancestors fought for everything we have now, even if we wanted to, because we have always been aware of how easily those rights can be taken away again.
Many of you are going to have to start completely rethinking what activism and fighting for your rights in this country actually means because a lot of you don't really know what it is, you just enjoy the aesthetic of it. Hence the reason why so many of you are freaking out that black people are planning to opt out of fighting for y'all from now on. We are the backbone of all of your causes, we are usually y'all main supporters and oftentimes your only. Most of the activism y'all do is on social media and a vast majority of it is only dedicated towards people Who look, act and think like you. Your activism is incredibly racist, privileged and selfish. You only advocate for people who are like you but black people have never done that in this country. We have always believed in fighting for everybody but y'all have shown us through how y'all voted that we need to take a step back. We need to allow you to make your own mistakes. We need to allow you to experience true racism, in this country, alone without our help or advocacy. We are taking a step back because we cannot continue to try to save everybody else's community while ours is suffering from the decisions the ones we are attempting to save are making.
Now for me, personally, this doesn't mean that I'm suddenly going to stop supporting those suffering from genocides or posting about it but it does mean that I am taking a huge step back from any other causes. I think a lot of you need to learn what it's like to fight for your causes and your rights alone without the help of black people. I think y'all need to learn what it's like to watch your people continuously be targeted and murdered and have people make posts on TikTok saying "oh you guys are just upset because you're going to lose a couple of rights!". I think you'll need to learn what it's like to consistently be advocating for others, yet have no one advocate for you when you actually need it. It has been easy for you guys to scream POC solidarity but the way y'all voted shows us that don't actually identify with us at all. I don't care about us at all. Don't want us to care about you and your causes but you don't care what happens to us.
I am not excited for the horrors that you guys are going to face at the hands of the Trump administration. Horrors y'all voted for. As much as I would like to be gleefully excited about watching y'alls comeuppance I'm not. I think it's incredibly sad that so many of you were trying so hard to fuck over black and brown communities, that you ended up fucking yourselves.

The election has proved something to me that I've known for a while is that POC solidarity doesn't exist because at the end of the day you guys are still begging and pleading for the white mans approval fuck y'all I hope y'all remember this when Trump starts enacting his policies don't come crying to black people black women in particular to help you leave us the fuck alone.

Bottom line: these people can all keep their careers. It doesn't mean the public has to support them.

I need people to start adding nuance into their discussion of unconscious bias regarding racism.
Any group of PoC can hold colorist views.
Any non-Black PoC can be antiblack.
Any non-Asian PoC can be sinophobic.
Any non-native PoC can be anti-indigenous.
Any non-MENA PoC can be SWANA-phobic.
Any non-Muslim can be islamophobic.
Any non-Jewish person can be antisemitic.
Any non-Rroma can be anti-Romani.
Any non-Latine can be hispanophobic.
This doesn't even consider how many within our own communities have internalised racism towards themselves.
It's also important when having these discussions and calling out racism from other groups of PoC that we check our unconscious bias towards that group, or we can feed into societies racist views on our peers.
This is also why PoC groups can be racist or bigoted towards each other.
Until we collectively unpack our biases in our collective communities, widespread PoC solidarity will not exist.
Other PoC are free to add to this post. white people (excluding Rroma & Jewish white peoples) please don't comment/add replies to this post as this is a community discussion for PoC & other ethnic/religious minorities mentioned.
This post is not to say that the discussions concerned with the topic that focus on white people shouldn't be discussed less or are invalid. This is just a side of the topic that I haven't seen many people speak about.

Abolish the idea that any kind of bigotry is inherent to any group.Being an afab lesbian dosen't make you a transmisogynist,being asian dosen't make you a conservative,being black dosen't make you a queerphobe.And being autistic dosen't make a racist,being a man dosen't make you a misogynist and being white dosen't make you an ignorant innocent.Stereotypes and removal of responsibility of your own actions by attributing them to certain minorities as a whole and something that's a part of 'who you are' rather than a concious choice you make nonstop and refuse to work on for those you hurt are extremely close.Bigotry is not culture or normalcy,it's abuse and fascism

i am so lucky to be radically and unconditionally loved the way i am. i have spent a lot of my time second guessing and questioning the relationships i have. to be in a space where i’m suddenly able to let my guard down is so jarring. and it’s my workplace? make it make sense.
this group of people are so genuinely good and kind. despite working here, i don’t feel like i’m at all being valued for just what i can give. i don’t feel drained, i don’t feel exploited. everyone’s priority for each other is making sure our cups are always replenished and no one is giving more than they should be. i’ve never known that, not like this.
i can finally rest up. i can finally relax a little. i can heal.

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

I follow Valeria aka Girl Jo on Twitter and it's so nice seeing her start her life. Like almost 5 years ago we were both awkward little teens and though I only knew the Skam Austin version of her at that time, now we're both adults fresh out of college trying to do more for the world than the world has done for us
#poc solidarity#skam austin#also a tribute to growing up with a tv show#its so weird how shes not really a celebrity in my mind but i still lowkey idolize her

Hey everyone, take a moment to pause doomscrolling.
Take a deep breath, and release.
Unclench your jaw, and stretch your neck.
Wiggle your fingers and toes for me.
I’m sending you a hug. Where ever you are in the world, i want you to know that i love you.
I know that the usa elections effects many across the world, but we arent hopeless. Take care of yourself and others.
I have been feeling really isolated recently, and stuck, not knowing how to help others. So if you’re feeling the same way, youre welcome to take this pledge with me:
Think of three causes you care about. Anything. Try to dedicate 1 hour a month to each of those causes.
Whether that be volunteering, organizing, checking in with a friend, or planting a seed, do something that fulfills you and gives you hope, no matter how small. Unable to dedicate time? Try to donate a small amount of money each month. Even the littlest amount helps.
And, of course, adapt this pledge so that it fits you. Only you are able to know (or find out) what will help you thrive.
And lastly, remember that you cant help others until you yourself are well. If you dont have the time, energy, or money to help others, dedicate those 3 hours to your own survival. Get some sleep, take a walk, do that pile of laundry, go buy some icecream.
You’ll be ok, and i love you.
