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.
How are you all?
This been the case for the past hundred years. I will never forget about the way the suffragettes we were taught SO MUCH about in history class, these supposedly-progressive, supposedly-saintly white women who secured the right to vote for women in Amerika really went out of their way to lock Black women out of that win. Was a white woman that killed Emmett Till.
No cap I do not trust white women, especially not if they call themselves feminists.
White people are notorious for taking a single marginalized group that they’re a part of and acting like it makes them an “innocent wittwe victim 🥺” who can no longer oppress or do anything wrong. White women and white queers are perfect examples of this. This isn’t to downplay the bigotry they face, but like I’m saying, their primary issue with that bigotry tends to be that it personally inconveniences them. They don’t want to actually end oppression as a whole. White supremacy is just too beneficial for them, and they’re too selfish to give up that benefit.
Slop
I brought this up elsewhere on hexbear before and got called a revisionist for trying to soil the good name of the suffragettes… Blood boiling shit
Sounds about white.
Reminder that the tendency for Hexbear to be as uncomfortable for POC as it is stems from the fact that there are so many cracKKKers here and none of them want to be held accountable. None of them want to decolonize their minds because why would they? White supremacy is just too precious of a benefit for these ghouls.
Hexbear is not intersectional nor has it ever been. Can it become that way? I can only hope.
em poc mega do be getting chonky
bring the liberals to me i swear to god, yall see this shit anywhere on hexbear just dm me.
will try, thank you (obviously I’m on a break from communities beyond c/em_poc and c/mutual_aid rn though)
breaks are important!!!
thats not even getting into the fact that most of the suffragette leaders in Europe later became fascist
