now she's having fun watching the 'intersectionalists' tie themselves in knots trying to justify their racial excusionism.

‘White women’s yoga’: How one woman’s Meetup experiment exploded on the Internet

Quote:
Pat Brown says she knew her “White Women Yoga” idea would not be well received.

“To allow space for White women to gather in the name of yoga, surrounded by the supportive community of White people, White yoga instructors, and all around safe White spaces,” she wrote on Meetup, a website designed to help people connect through shared interests.

Angry responses poured in. People called Brown ignorant and said she was using the site to promote white supremacy. “Shame on you for being so racist and hateful,” read one message. “It’s people like you who are destroying our country.”

But the 63-year-old Maryland woman said organizing a yoga group was never what she intended. Frustrated at the existence of Meetup groups specifically for black people, and offended by advocacy groups such as Black Lives Matter, she wanted to make a provocative statement about the “tribalism and separatism” she believes are taking over the country.
in before shrieks of 'racist!!!':

Quote:
A white woman, Brown married a black man in 1979 (they’ve been divorced for 14 years) and raised two biracial children and one black son. She says her concern over Meetup groups targeting one racial group stems from worry that her own kids could ultimately be forced to choose parts of their identity.

What is slowly creeping into our society is this idea that White people are the problem in the world. We have sat on a perch for far too long and we need to be knocked down and who is spear heading this hatred ? Why it is the Left ,the party of diversity? How can this be. What is their ultimate goal?



They celebrate diversity from race, they are champions of minorities, to gender where anyone with a heartbeat can be whatever gender they want to be, to religion as long as it is not Christian based.



The Left wants us all to bubble out of the great mixing pot that is America only to fall into boxes where we are labelled and put in categories.



I can't keep up with these people.

Here's the dynamic...
  • Race - blacks/minorities lifted up... whites put down... pro-black groups are allowed... pro-white groups are considered as racist
  • Gender - females lifted up... males put down... promoting female issues in society are great... promoting male issues is misogynist
  • Sexual orientation - LGBT issues lifted up... straight issues put down... advancing LGBT issues is tolerant... advancing straight issues are homophobic
  • Abortion - abortion is advanced and progressive and modern... pro-life advancement is backwards and primitive... abortion should be the norm... protecting life in the womb hates women
So the people promoting these destructive principles seek to make this more than a matter of choice... You are utterly an awful intolerant human piece of debris for even thinking contrary to what they perceive is the way.

This is not by accident.

that's a pretty accurate summary.

this article rang a bell with me because it's fairly local and i had frequently seen meetup groups with names like 'mocha moms' and the like.
and i couldn't help thinking how a meetup group with a name like 'vanilla moms' would go over.

Spoiler
like a fart in church

Do I have permission to share this list on-line? I will credit you. Also, it doesn't help that many of Western civilizations' problems were committed by White people. However, there are also plenty of White people who are trying be a better person than repeat the sins of their ancestors.

Go for it. You are right that many whites committed evil deeds, but not the whole race. There are plenty of decent white and black folk out there. Unfortunately the evil resides in both races as well.

The diabolical thing in that whole dynamic listed above is that they are committing the sin of discrimination themselves. They are discriminating based on race, gender, and sex... however they approve it.

It's a function of prosperity. America is a rich country, much of the people who are prospering have a guilt complex and are actually exhibiting signs of self hatred. I call them "White Guilters" or "Self Guilters", and they are constantly looking for ways to 'atone'.

People are literally so bored with their lives that they are going out of their way to find problems with every part of society. Social Justice Warriors are completely neurotic
