Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm a black person in America who has freeform dreadlocks, and I'm not even in school nor do I work in public. Believe me when I say that I'm amazed how people still have a tendency to make comments on the unconventionality of my natural black hair even though it's absolutely none of their fucking business. Early on into developing my freeform dreadlocks, I had an older white man in a psych ward tell me "Did you know a nurse can give you a comb for your hair?". Good God, if I had reacted impulsively, I would've still been in that psych ward to this very day. He might not have said it in bad faith, but either way, the point is that it's not his fucking business at all!
I've also gotten this from black people too, mostly from my conservative Afro-Caribbean family who have said racist things about working class black Americans, believing themselves to be better than them, so that checks out. Once again, this is why I'm glad to be no contact with a lot of people that raised me or people that I grew up with.
