Remember, EM POC only!

Vibes are off. That's really all I can say about my energy right now.

How are all of the rest of the EM POC comrades?

    So I made a mistake in engaging in a post about Islam - again - and I told myself before to not engage but I just had to because of the “suspicious” responses in that thread and now I have been accused of occidentalism - a literal reverse racism argument. Not that they’ll even be aware of the term but I didn’t expect people to read the books and articles I listed at the start of my argument (who reads anyways, am I right?)

    And now I wonder why I stopped my break from posting on this site in the first place.

    Maybe you all were right that this site can not be (re)educated. I apologize - I have not interacted enough with white people to know they were like this.

    Going to take a long break.

        Ugh. On one hand, I get it. "Passing" can be used as a method of survival if you're in a place where PoC are targets of violence. On the other, I feel like you need to show solidarity with people who don't pass and should shut that shit down when you see it. I dunno. Maybe I'm spoiled.

          passing is a privilege and if you choose to indulge in it simply because you can, sorry but you ARE white for all intents and purposes
