If you just pulled your PPH (pink pussy hat) out of storage in anticipation of next month’s “Women’s March” in either Chicago or San Francisco you might want to make other plans. Both cities have cancelled their planned marches, for somewhat different reasons.
Chicago organizers cited “logistical issues” but as board member Sara Kurensky conceded, to “further distance the Chicago group from national Women’s March leaders” was an additional “side benefit.” Why?
…infighting across the national Women’s March movement arose after Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan praised Women’s March Inc. co-president Tamika Mallory and declared Jews his enemy during an address in February. The movement has since splintered, with chapter members criticizing the Women’s March leadership’s response to Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic rhetoric as being insufficient.
Wow, it was like pulling teeth to get the group (co-chaired by Women’s March leader, Linda Sarsour, Brooklyn born daughter of Palestinian immigrants and author of A Jihad Grows in Brooklyn) to denounce a well-known anti-Semite. What’s up with that? I’m so old that I remember when Jews were a bona fide discriminated-against minority (just watch Mad Men if you don’t believe), worthy of the left’s protection and concern.
Either the Jewish Anti-discrimination League has really done its job or Palestinians have persuaded the left that the Jews are simply a sub-group of privileged whites who don’t even deserve what they have let alone special treatment.
In light of that, the cancellation of the San Francisco area’s Women’s March makes more sense: Organizers cancel Women’s March Jan. 19 due to ‘overwhelmingly white’ participants.
To quote Glenn Reynold’s comment on this story - which he filed under “Annuls of Leftist Autophagy” - “I mean, who else gives a shit about this stuff?”
Indeed, were it not for White Guilt we would not still be trying to clean up after America’s experiment in Socialist Transformation.
