Hello! Welcome to COTL, a discussion place for BIPOC. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month
Thread Rules
- We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
- Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
- Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
- Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)
Hello all. I pushed back my followup thread about Transgender Queer People of Color to next weeks post (thank goodness there’s so many days in the month of June), to allow for this national holiday that celebrates African American emancipation.
I can’t say I know all that much about the holiday, due to not being African American… Or in fact American, but I’d like to wish all my American friends a good holiday.
Feel free to discuss whatever on your mind. Hope y’all have a wonderful day.
