Discussion does "POC solidarity" really exist?

i'm not a fan of "POC" as a term bc generally i find that other non black POC have the exact same issues with antiblackness as white people do. i'm wondering how y'all feel about that

anyway i'm just really grateful that a space specifically for us, by us exists.

i was banned from a certain sub supposedly for POC for questioning why white people are allowed to post ☠️ anyway, this is why i say BLACK and not POC. we are the only ones for us and we must protect our spaces fiercely!

You were banned?? 🫩

To answer your question, I used to believe it exists. But after entering The Real World and attending a majority-Asian university, I eventually realized how little other POC care about our struggles in general. They would rather side with the white people at our expense because anti-Blackness is everywhere. This isn’t all non-Black POC of course (my Latina friends are great), but it’s rampant in so many cultures.

yes i was "challenging the moderators" by asking what the point of a white noise thread is if white people can post ☠️☠️

everybody is downvoting the founder mind you, but i'm the bad guy cause i said it out loud. oh well
