Bc several people have asked in the group why we support Palestine 🇵🇸

being a part of a minority group, we have sort of an unsaid responsibility to stick up for and support other minorities.

Why is that is the only miniority group people post abt it? Yesterday was the birthday of Micheal Brown a victim of a police shooting that happened 8 days after he graduated high school. I didn't see anyone post abt him on here.

how is it racist? the only other minority group that i see being posted here is abt Palenstine, and I understand that but why doesn't anyone post about black issues? or other racial minority groups

Well then you post about them here. No one is stopping you. Not everyone might be educated on that issue- I didn’t know about it. We can only do so much each day per person. My focus lately has been on protecting the constitution, Palestine, and civil rights in general but especially for immigrants. Perhaps you could help educate others too.

I do, I just don't think this is the space for that in my opinion. Plus police brutality victims could be a triggering topic for a lot of people in this community, so that's why I didn't choose to post it here. Also if your focus is on civil rights issues then you should've really known abt it. It shouldn't be my responsibility to post abt black issues when everyone has the ability to educate themselves.

People know about it. And you’re the one complaining about people not posting about it and then saying you’re not gonna post about it here

Your comment is really hypocritical

Anonymous #9 17w

No im not saying it’s your responsibility I’m just saying if you aren’t seeing enough people talk about it then you are free to help educate others. We all can’t know everything all the time. Also I’d argue that this place is perfect for it. There are black queers, hell the stone wall riots were led by a black trans women. Our movements just like all minority rights movements are intrinsically tied together.

this is exactly why black queer people don't feel welcomed bc then it's all of a sudden on them to speak abt black issues. i explained why i didn't post about, maybe i also didn't bc everything i do post abt black issues i get downvoted so they r clearly not as important to the community as other things.

You’re mad at people for not posting about it though. And complaining. When you yourself won’t. That’s hypocrisy

Anonymous stoner22 17w

if it was the perfect place for it then i wouldn't be downvoted or told that it was triggering or reported. i literally got banned last year because I was posting about police brutality on here. plus someone straight up told me that it wasn't an immediate issue that needed attention.

Anonymous #1 17w

i never said it wasn't but if you can't see through that then I can't help you. i post when I gain that level of respect and i don't have that here. even you care more abt me being a hypocrite than anything else

if "so you hate waffles?" was a person ^ it sounds like you just don't want to hear about Palestine and that's disgusting 🫶

comparing atrocities doesn’t get anybody anywhere. it just causes static over the real issues at hand. if you had posted about micheal brown on here(in an actual post) im sure you would have had a swarm of support. the people here are angry at your negation/denial of the importance of what’s going on in palestine.

Anonymous #9 17w

and before you say i'm wrong, explain to me what exactly your argument is here. you go "why is this on this page?" then to "it's too political" to "no one posted about issue?" to "i didn't want to post it here" girl you're flip flopping.

Anonymous #11 17w

this. i would've loved to learn. we downvoted the comment because it was in extremely poor taste considering a genocide SHOULD be talked about and the commenter was just complaining about it with excuses.

you can’t worry about what’s gonna trigger others if your goal is to shit on us for not posting about it

As a black queer person, I do think this commenter was out of line but I get where they are coming from. I see a lot of minorities supported but rarely ever African Americans or people of color in general. But again, it’s not everyone’s responsibility to post that. It’s mine or whoever else’s. And if it triggers someone, oh well, it’s social media, just scroll. Now if I post something and it gets a lot of downvotes or deleted, then I’d be upset and start calling the community racist.

But right now, the community isn’t racist. But it is heavily avoidant of poc issues. I am proud of all the other minorities this community speaks out about though. So even though I would like to see more, I’m happy with what we are getting now. Never have I ever seen so much content to support people with disabilities and it opened up a whole new world for me.

How the fuck are you “all lives matter”ing Palestine. Yes black people face serious societal issues, that has nothing to do with the literal holocaust going on and what a weird way to detract away from the conversation at hand. If you want to see more posts about black rights then make them instead of bitching under a post about genocide
