The mayor of Paris has called for a black feminist festival in the city to be banned on the grounds that it excludes white people. At the Nyansapo Festival in July, billed as “blackfeminist”, 80% of the venue will be reserved for black women. Black people of any gender will be allowed in another area, while a third area will be open to all. Anne Hidalgo tweeted that she reserved the right “to prosecute the organisers for discrimination”. Some French anti-racism organisations have condemned the festival. SOS Racisme called it “an abomination” and said it “wallows in ethnic separation”, while Licra, the International League against Racism and Antisemitism, said: “Rosa Parks would be turning in her grave.”

Macron's first crisis in the making - will he cave?

The French are more sensible to us in some regards.

Only after LePen put pressure on Hidalgo.

or maybe Anne woke up. Earlier this year she called Trump ‘stupid’ for proposing a travel ban. Now she’s got SJWs organizing France’s migrants for militancy.

Got to give him some credit for being fair here.

If these folks want to throw a private party fine. But even Macron is saying whoa to having all Paris officially involved.

Maybe there is hope for France yet, that even in its secular egalitarian vision it knows somehow when to say that the branches are rebelling against the tree.

I don’t see this ever happening in Portland or LA.

Good. Sadly, I bet the Paris Mayor gets arrested for this.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Dear Lord, it’s come to this. The French are more sensible than we are. Think I’ll eat some cheese.

[MoochPooch]

Hate to say this but . . . does anyone really want to go there?

I think it’s a good thing. Sorta like naming streets MLK Blvd or announcing “mohammaden day” at 6 Flags...
