Previous thread is over here.

I forgot to update this yesterday since I was at work.

As usual: no crackers allowed.

Here, you can:

vent

chat

gush

inquire

etc.

about, well, anything, ig.

Bonus discussion question:

What are your favorite books about BIPOC and EM people?

Could be about individuals, a few individuals, or a social history (or, well, everything having to do with EM_BIPOC peoples).

Mine is kind of a "basic opinion" but it's:

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.

Read it right when it came out.

And I knew it was going to be a "classic" (or, at least, on many peoples' "to-read" lists).

Of course, I'm an obscurist, sort-of. I recommend more obscure works, but this one really stood out to me back when it first came out. I had a professor that also recommended the book and had us all read it in class. I believe they were Apache.

On the topic of "obscure" works, I would recommend Henry Winston's Strategy for a Black Agenda, which is my favorite work on such topics as Pan-Africanism and violence vs. non-violence (and whether and how to use both or when).

Anyway, take care!

    Yes! I find it a bit off-putting that there are some people here, on Hexbear, who like these shows (and are most likely white). It's still bigotry, even if it's unserious! Why is my identity being used as the butt of a joke?

      My brother does that sort-of thing and I hate it.

      He's a liberal and is "proud" of that fact, but yeah...
