There's some diaspora #Asians on Vancouver Island (and several other places in Global North) who have severe #InternalizedRacism, to the point that they're not just #indoctrinated into #colonialism & capitalism but they're so self unaware of internalized racism that they don't even know when racist white folks #tokenize them to defend/justify racism & use them to push WS beliefs on their own peoples.
I lose my fu*king shit around Asians like this. They harm us Asians who fight for human rights.
Here's the other thing: Colonial governments love exploiting #IdentityPolitics. They benefit from #BIPOC folks who suffer from #InternalizedRacism. It's part of the #DivideAndConquer colonialism playbooks. They provide extra rewards to #POC people who are willing to #whitewash & defend almost anything, to non-white folks willing to sell their souls & willing to enact harms on their own peoples. They depend on both #greed & #desperation to exploit BIPOC with internalized racism issues.
Why do #racist#politicians join cultural associations in their local areas - when they've ignored that cultural community for years prior to trying to gain more #political powers or trying to gain higher ranking political positions?
$800 needed to stay off the street
$200 to cover Car Insurance that already came out my account
We used pretty much all $800 that Mom gets monthly that would have been used for food to stay off the street to avoid dying in the toxic #ClimateChange heat of our state that's deeply in a #drought
I'm unmarried
I'm not breeding
I'm disabled
I'm a woman
I'm Latina
I'm a displaced #indigenous person
I'm not white
I'm not dark enough to be used as a pawn for their BS game with superficial temporary gains
Anyone who asks the marginalized to keep swollowing the tripe of the bourgeois and using fascists' systems for survival is a damn fucking ignorant privileged #bootlicker
You're next, once the #disabled#BIPOC and #LGBTQ+ are dead the thought control and police will only have you to eat
Just figured I'd let you know that I (and by extension the rest of the Tech Talk Thursday crew) have been nominated for a BIPOC Streamer Award in the Chatterbox category!

911 has been not only a longtime bad joke on us #BIPOC folks but also frequently used as a fuxking weapon on us more times than not.
You don't fuxking call 911 on anyone you don't want cops to sic. Especially BIPOC folks. https://youtu.be/MwNhwwcQ4Ow?si=ctZehItTTlc9FR2P
At a few points in my living history, the #USgovt tried to get #Redbone labeled as a terrorist group - because of their #music. #Censorship of #musicians - especially #BIPOC - who created resistance & activist songs were heavily censored in 70s - now.
Why are you removing post that doesn't violate SDF TOS, reported by complete stranger who supports genocide & I'm still waiting on reply on request for help email sent yesterday?
I just did a post on #Bluesky pointing out that the #A11y issues that impact screen reader users it’s had since Day One and the message we're getting from their developers is we aren't welcome there. This is particularly interesting as more and more accounts from Twitter, all of which concerned with human rights in some way, are going over there. Blind people may be slowly bweing left in the dark, particularly for info surrounding #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA! and #PopCulture matters. (1/2)
Remember how the Trump media #CNN#MSNBC#ABC#CBS#NBC like to tell America and especially black voters how Trump is getting black voters? Again! as we've been saying it's just another lie.(PROOF)👇
Except...as I hit "send" too quickly, if this person were bought...like with "...at least 38 vacations, 26 private jet flights, eight flights by helicopter, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events, as well as stays at luxury resorts..."
The Dong family shared with #NBCNews that they will be donating $5 million to #Black#CollegeStudents around the U.S. — a donation that will be funded by the sale of their home in Coronado, #California, which they say they obtained in 1939 thanks to a Black entrepreneurial couple in the city.
Kiinnostava uusi tutkielma: «Saako olla ruskea queer? Isaac Senen "Kuuma jäbä" -teoksen ehdot suomalaisen popmusiikin mediakehyksissä» https://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe202402238563
Ithaca cops got in increased budget, while Family and Children's Services terminated their entire outreach team, and now one of our main addiction recovery facilities is closing.
This is what it looks like to live in a dying, violent war empire. We are already fascist.
Benito Mussolini's definition of #Fascism is the melding of corporation and state
By that definition we've been a Fascist country since #CitizensUnited
It's just taken a little time for the gloves to come off
My own understanding is that Fascism is what we've been trained to call #Capitalism when it starts treating ytpipo the way it's been treating #BIPOC folks the whole time
I will be supporting the federal #NDP at next elections because I can't forgive #Trudeau over #Gaza#Palestine & can't get over #ForkedTongue on several other issues that are very important to me & many #Canadian#BIPOC voters
I don't even like NDP either but it's them or covert WS dude with a pretty face or full out fascist fuckers. Unlike USA - with no real decent election choices between racist sellouts - we still have some options in #Canada.
'Umbhoxo, Making Rugby an Afrikan Game’, corrects myths that #Black#Africans started playing #rugby or introduced to the sport 30 yrs ago when #SouthAfrica gained independence & tells a tale of how this #sport helped many Africans escape the harsh realities of #colonialism & #apartheid.
The #book is a collaborative work by Philani Nongogo, Bantu Siwisa, Hendrik Snyders, and Mzukisi Twala. #Historical analysis of the history of black Africans in rugby since the 1820’s.
I'm buying 2 copies. One for my little free community library. The other is to gift to the Intercultural Assn in Victoria for their #BIPOC library/educational resources. I also plan to write to schools to ask if they can buy a copy for their school libraries. This is how I try to do grassroots, individual citizen action on getting more #POCbooks into public schools & free community libraries.
Let's start a #mutualaid chain! Post any asks you have, particularly for #queer#trans and #bipoc communities, and we'll all try to help. To start, here's a cross-post from a friend:)
