Remember, EM POC only!

I'm a very tired Angel right now. It's about to be 2 AM, but since it's Monday, I might as well go ahead and get up this EM POC weekly thread.

You know how it goes! Any EM POC vibes are welcome here.

    Why is intersectionality so difficult for whites? Especially queer people who can have it worse than POC? Like white cishet women I understand will have brainworms. Or white poor people. They still benefit heavily from white supremacy enough to look past their oppression. But white LGBTQ+ people? You'd think it would be easier for them to see past American foreign policy.

    I guess I shouldn't throw stones in glass houses. It's not like my peeps are better about homophobia.

      Unfortunately, a good deal of white queer people fall for the pinkwashing lib bullshit that happens too.

      Eh, depends, prolly gotta do with how they unconsciously know how their treats and GLOBAL social class position is held, regarding foreign policy and unequal exchange

      (eg. solidarity with extractivist imperialism or settler-colonialism, for the fact that their livelihoods are based on that)
