Those darned uppity whites. What makes them think they have a right to do yoga, without the permission of their betters?

Yoga is a form of meditation and simplified religious practice from India. What they’re guilty of is abandoning Christianity.

Nothing. But Yogi is a person of color. So yes, it is cultural appropriation for white folks to imitate him.

Here’s my contribution to the unbearable whiteness of being:

A low-carb diet omits bread, pasta, potatoes, sugar, or rice. In other words, if it’s white, don’t bite.

I gave it a name: The Al Sharpton Diet. Its motto is:

“WHITE is not RIGHT!!!”

When will the white bashing stop?

When we MAKE it stop. Thus far, I haven't seen a lot of evidence that that's going to happen.

I wish this hag would go up to a member of the Gracie family and yell at them for appropriating Japanese Judo.

Gandhi, in an article she recently co-authored, argued yoga as it’s practiced in America today is an extension of white supremacy and the “yoga industrial complex.”

Obviously, the proliferation of the use of electricity, the internal combustion engine, and modern medicine and modern communications, is an extension of white supremacy and the use of these should be abandoned by all nations not founded by white people.

Lyrics sung by Elsa Lanchester (OK FOR HER!) and ELVIS!(EVIL FOR HIM!)

Well I can see that you and yoga will never do

Yoga is as yoga does there’s no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or you’ve blown the scene
I can see lookin’ at you, you just can’t get settled
How can I even move, twistin’ like a pretzel
Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)

Come on come on, untwist my legs
Pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up
In this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)

Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yoga’s sure to catch you if you come falling down
Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)

I read on Free Republic that whites who do yoga were guilty of blasphemy and of worshipping a false god.

I’m so confused.

India is now a power in cricket. Does that mean they engaged in the crime of cultural appropriation from the British?

Only if a Brit can explain the game as well as these chaps do.

Constant attacks on whites. Wonder if this is what it felt like to be Jewish before WW2?

Yogi is an oppressed Ursine-American, and a Person of Hirsuteness.
