Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban.

Why do they have to be black? America is bizarrely obsessed with race, I've never seen anything like it both in person and on the internet.
the democrats have built their entire brand around performative racial justice where everything they do is designed to appeal to different groups. Its super toxic and while I am vehemently anti-racist this tokenization of policy is counter productive and the reason why a lot of people reject the democrats as "racist"
Bro, the US wins world champions in racism. There are ethno-nationalists in India that think Americans take it too far.
It's also important to note that POC, black people or melenated people (take your pick - i.e Pakistani and some Indians are PoC) are not exempt from being racist.
In fact, if you suffer racism there's a chance you'll then turn racist, because it triggers pack instinct, paranoia, group think - etc. Humans gonna hume. "You're claiming reverse racism" - bitch, did I stutter? Racism is racism is racism is racism.
That being said, zoning laws are still CRT based and some neighbourhoods in the US only get the most basic super markets - if even that.
"All I see is church, church, liquor store" - Black Milk.
If black people need access to raw produce in areas they can't get access to it, then I think it's completely acceptable. Sad, but acceptable.
I could also see a bunch of Karens buying out the stock so that they can brag that they eat "black produce", effective depriving black children of proper produce.
To err is human, and also be awful is human, and also racism... is human, and also (say it with me now):
Humana gonna hume. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this is downvoted because people don't realize the face of modern racism.
Naw, it's probably because they define racism as actual systemic oppression and not the psychology behind racism - which is dumb, because the latter leads to the former.
But it's also a question of yankie ire. - i.e the Ugly American. No lie, you'll meet Africans who have the darkest skin who say they aren't black or identify as black, simply because they don't want it to override, generalize and trivialise their own people group's unique identity and culture.
Then some yankie fuck will lose their ever loving mind and call it racist because they won't placate to either Pan-Africanism, black nationalism or black erhno-nationalism, as if that's somehow positive, even though white nationalism isn't, nor is Pan-Europeanism... the last point I added, because FUCK off if you can me Mediterranean.
Like boy, are you calling me french? Bitch, I'm Nordic. Me and Habibi will slap the shit out of you with a muttom kebab for making that comparison. Like we still have honor and pride in adoption and there are plenty of melanated Nordics today because of it, while yankies have adoption auctions?
Like my brother in Christ, what even is this vile act? Your selling kids like vintage furniture? Are you sick in the head? "Oh, but that's a white people thing"... again, I'm not fucking wHite then, am I? Because that shit would be fucking dishonourable to my people. Sometimes there are adoption scandals and it hits national news... but sanctioned, legal adoption auctions? Wtf.
People also immigrate, which is fine, since you want people to have the freedom to migrate. Can't have it one way and not the other. And besides, I love my countrymen, of all shapes, sizes and hue of skin, and I damn sure don't identify as wHite, because that's how they got the circus over the pond going completely Texas.
Somehow it seems Americans just wanna make everything pink slime. You need to be put into the people group grinder so that you conform to your identity blob. You shall be pigeon holed, you shall be boxed in, you shall be stereotyped.
Honestly though, I'm racist against yankies - or I'm turning racist against yankies. I'm getting so sick and tired of their bullshit, brainrot, CRT and broad generalizations.
Build the wall - keep those fuckers in.
((And they say irony is dead - you can down vote this dick))
Americans always think they have the market cornered on everything. As if slavery and racism didn't exist until the 18th century.
Right? Gah!
