A yoga studio in Seattle is bringing back segregation with a new class where white people are not allowed, and one local disc jockey is fighting mad.
Radio host, Dori Monson of KIRO, blasted the class at Rainier Beach Yoga in Seattle which sent an email recently soliciting students for a class titled Yoga For People Of Color.
The class is described in the email as being for all genders and sexual identities, but specifically targets lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer and trans-friendly/affirming, and people who identify as African American/black/of the African Diaspora, Asian, South Asian, West Asian/Arab/Middle Eastern, Pacific Islander, First Nations/Alaskan Native/Native American/Indigenous, Chican/Latin, or Multiracial/Mixed-Race.
The email concludes by declaring white friends, allies and partners are respectfully asked not to attend, according to MyNorthwest.com.
Monson said although he doesnt mind the segregated class, what angers him is that those who applaud this class would be outraged by a whites only class.
It would be a lead story on national news, Monson said on his show. It would be blared across all the websites about the racist yoga class in Seattle. And the fact is, this yoga class is every bit as racist as a bunch of white people who say they dont want to be around somebody of color. Thats why I wouldnt want to attend either one of those classes
The fact is, they are both racist.

I carry a pack of fried pork rinds at all times. Never know when one needs to get the Mooslimbs out of the room.
I was so hoping to get in too, oh well, do you think they would accept Canadian?
It is a shame this is in Seattle and not Oregon. I'm sure that in Oregon an Administrative Law Judge, such as Brad Avaklan of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, would give anyone traumatized by this overt racism $135,000, just like he gave a similar fortune to the predators who sued Sweet Cakes. Otherwise, we would have proof that liberals are merely evil, jack-booted thugs who are abusing government power to coerce Christians into violating their faith.
If you are suggesting that Yoga is somehow worshiping Islam, you are incorrect. Yoga has been around far longer than that murdering, pedophile has been around.
I say again, where is someone to sign-up, try to go, get rejected, and sue these people out of business?
Islam is bad yoga? Or, Yoga Gone Bad?
"No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."
I believe in the freedom of association and that extends to businessesExcept we don't have "freedom of association" any longer. Just ask those Christians who are being fined out of business because they prefer not to be forced to work at homosexual weddings.
I’m all in favor of Americans choosing: who they serve...who they hire...who their kids go to school with.
It is my rights as a free person to chose who I will consort with. Black yoga? Go ahead. And if I want to bake a cake for only straight weddings that’s my choice. That’s what FREEDOM is all about.
And those doing the fining are the CRIMINALS. This will reach a tipping point soon. It's a prelude to civil war.
When we lived there we loved Dori.
Have some fun.
Go find some liberal “of color” who is talking breathlessly about how wonderful and empowering this is and wait until she is done and then just say, “ I’m glad that YOU PEOPLE have a place to go where we don’t have to be around you for an hour.”
Watch her head explode.
I never suggested anything close to that. I said yoga positions are in the shape of Hindu gods. That is just a fact. It has been around a long time as a spiritual practice by people into eastern religious practices. Yoga as exercise is very new. Someone else asked me what yoga mats faced Mecca. I thought that was a joke and answered, “I don’t know, why....”
Now you know if a progressive type reads that scroll bar they will really be offended!
With that bakery fined for not catering to deviants, this is absurd.
As for black TV networks, magazines, etc., those are the surest signs that assimilation has failed. Nobody believes it is possible anymore; Ferguson & Baltimore occurred while some celebrated out first mulatto president. It has meant nothing; he has ruled as a gay white liberal (since they’ve gained more than blacks under his tenure).
Someone should set one up across the street. Whites only. What I don’t get, how can they openly discriminate like this and a baker is fined for not baking a gay cake? To be consistent, I have to support the yoga studio. They should have the right to do business any way they want...but so should a bakery owner. The libs cannot have it both ways.
The bakery issue was Oregon.
I went out to Seattle last month....It’s the most God awful place I think I’ve ever been.....
For a country boy from southern Ohio, it was a real eye opening experience...
Don’t get me wrong....I’ve been all over this country of ours, but Seattle, man....that was something else..!
Ok, if Blacks-only Yoga is now allowed, I’m opening a Whites-only Cafe.
