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 doesn’t 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 don’t want to be around somebody of color. That’s why I wouldn’t want to attend either one of those classes … The fact is, they are both racist.”

I understand; I didn’t mean they were in the same state. Just the inconsistent application of law (as regards civil rights).
No worries. I love Oregon, but it is tough living in a left leaning state.
It’s amazing isn’t it?
How many discriminatory things can done in the name of “equality”.
“...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.”
I’ve an odd sense of humor, and I thank the Lord for the fine gift.
Imagining one of these classes is the most fun I’ve had all day, and I sincerely thank you for posting this.
I was posting what I said to him, not you. I included you because he had posted to you originally. Sorry for the confusion.
Tell me about it; living here in NJ is probably very similar. Liberal about everything but race...
'Liberals love accusing decent people of being hypocrites when we fall short of our standards. However, that does not make us hypocrites, just flawed like all people. In contrast, liberals do not believe in anything except that government power over individuals must grow as quickly as possible. They are true hypocrites who have no interest in equality, just in stacking the deck to favor their chosen preferred groups.
