Remember, EM POC only!

This message is to my EM POC comrades: Angel loves all of you.

Especially as of late, I have truly been feeling like this community has worked wonders in keeping me stable when it comes to handling the massive jar of mayo that this site can be sometimes.

    I honestly didn’t think there’d be many eastern europeans who came to this comm if only for the sheer number of eastern europeans regardless of country that I’ve known who felt comfortable with such virulent anti-Blackness that you’d think they were Tennessee natives; but it’s also not rly my call to make either

      Eastern Europeans who experience structural racism/targeted white supremacist violence are allowed. they are the EM part of em poc . they still gotta be mindful of their privilege though, and not talk over poc, or they will be banned with prejudice.

      Yeah, I’ll just respect whatever the mods decide. Can’t say I am an expert in Eastern European racialisation.

      Yeah this is very real. I’ve met many eastern europeans in the ukkk who are very quick to use their whiteness to figuratively climb on top of the brown people around them. Or if there’s no systemic fuckery going on, they’re still happy to just say slurs to feel superior or something. I actually reached a stage where I promised myself I’m only making friends with other immigrants who I can gossip about brits with from this point on, which worked out great for me tbh.

      As for eastern europeans in their own countries… yea, it’s so shit. Great replacement nationalism galore.

      Personally I find this comm a breath of fresh air online; even when I take breaks from hexbear as a whole I still check this mega every few days
