    Democrats received that message loud and clear some decades ago.

    Add up everything invented by blacks, anything they use which was invented by anyone else was culturally appropriated as defined by the left. I hope blacks don’t use Windows, Macs, email, Amazon, electricity...well, you get the idea.

    There's stirring up the pot to bring awareness to a real cause, and then there's doing it just to nitpick because there's nothing better to do or complain about.

    This falls into the latter category.

    In the world of the postmodern left diversity is segregation.

    Must be a really terrible class. Who wants to meditate to rap?
    Maybe she was going bankrupt and paid people to protest her to get a promotional bump.

    And concepts like self-reliance and individuality are attacked.

    Agreed. Even though it's "the Sacramento chapter", if other chapters and the BLM leadership don't shut down this nonsense, the entire idea of BLM will be reduced to ridicule.

    As for the nonsense of "cultural appropriation", then all BLM members stop wearing western clothing and using western technology, I'll take the idea more seriously.

    Yes, there are no individuals in identity politics. If a Christian opposes gay marriage post modern leftists hate all Christians.

    Bubba sure is. He loves his confederate flag, his single wide, his beer, and of course his Xbox.

    There is something wrong with the rightwingers, when they have a problem with freedom of speech.
    These people were just handing out flyers.

    Go cry me a river.
    I will lick them tears with much joy.

    RIGHT NOW! White yoga studio continues cultural appropriation—after hours of education by Black folx. They been asked. They been warned. They ignored us. Now we’re shutting it down. @Blklivesmatter https://www.facebook.com/events/286114778586007/?ti=icl …

    Explain what "Shut it down" means, you can read, correct??

    Bunch of little domestic terrorists here, trying to "Shut down" a legitimate business. These idiots have ZERO credibility with the general public. They are a sad joke, pathetic.

    Yup... since they did:

    Saturday, dozens from Black Lives Matter occupied the space in front of Solfire Yoga, allowing customers to enter and leave peacefully while handing out fliers calling the owners of the studio cultural appropriators.

    Link in the OP.


    I'll be licking your tears! lol

    Yeah, I guess the "non-racist" thing to do is to say that those people never created **** worth emulating.

    They are accusing the biracial owners of racism and acting to shut down their business. It’s disgusting.

    I don't think he said they shouldn't be allowed to speak. Just that what they were saying was stupid.

    Criticizing someone is Free Speech as well.

    In the postmodern left BLM actions are perfectly acceptable. That’s what is disgusting. They hide behind the first amendment as a defense and justification for their intolerance and promotion of selective segregation. What is also disgusting is the selective intolerance of the multicultural left.

    A yoga class with rap music? That sounds awful. I would support this protest. Not because of the idiotic idea of cultural appropriation but because yoga and rap music does not go together......
