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.)
Prompt: How’s everyone doing since the election & with politics in general? Feel free to post your thoughts.
Last week was a bit of a mindfuck. Just the sheer ignorance & stupidity & the turd sandwich of a week didn’t just end there:
Tony Todd passed away at the age of 69 too. Quincy Jones also passed away. Who I forgot to mention died last week too, but obviously I was in shock on Wednesday.
Perhaps we can acknowledge the works of those great African American artists. R.I.P.
Next week I’ll be on holiday. I was wonderingif anyone wanted to guest host the CotL? I may just schedule another thread, next week anyways, if not? Feel free to lemme know.
Hope y’all have a nice day regardless 🙏🏽
