it seems clear that there are less POC people on hexbear then there was before. what would you propose, and what do you think the issues are if any. i will be refraining from sharing my opinion for now to encourage more ideas.

white comrades are allowed to post emotes to boost this thread so more people can see it.

    these are GREAT points all around, thank you. i do think there are a lot of people who post about Malcom x, Sankara, and the black panthers generally but are not interested in going in depth on their beliefs and tactics. and the point about critiques is very important (i have faced weird amounts of push back for critiquing the misogyny of certain black nationalist groups, and how this misogyny weakened the project of liberation, people wanna act like the 60s were 200 years ago) and i do agree that we should learn more about MODERN poc projects movement and individual activist, history is constantly being made around us. i really enjoy what @Nakoichi@hexbear.net has been posting about the chunka luta have been doing! we should do more stuff like that. thank you for your response!!
