Do you ever browse the headlines and see something so dumb it makes you squint? You know, something like this:
Well, that happened to me this morning and I thought you would would appreciate the utter insanity and absurdity of this story.
A morbidly obese black woman bitching that ‘white people’ are ‘culturally appropriating’ yoga … a Hindu art/exercise. Yes, seriously.
This is the state of our society. Let that sink in for a moment.
Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit reported:
‘Jessamyn Stanley is a yoga instructor and “body activist.”
Jessamyn is making headlines for some reason after blaming white supremacy for polluting yoga.
Seriously. This happened.
When is the left just going to come out and call for mass genocide of whitey?’

PEOPLE reported:
Jessamyn Stanley needs you to know what yoga is really about – and it’s not the poses.
In her new book Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance, the yoga instructor and body activist shares reflective personal essays that touch upon everything from racism to the cultural appropriation of American yoga, from consumerism to cannabis.
And while the timing couldn’t be better considering the current cultural climate, the idea for the book came to her years ago while she was writing her first book, Every Body Yoga, a guide to developing a yoga practice.
“I realized yoga is a lot more than postures,” she tells PEOPLE. “The postures get to be more complicated, not because you’re practicing harder gymnastics or physical postures, but because you’re practicing emotional and mental and really spiritual postures.”…
…The book explores the existence of white supremacy and cultural appropriation in American yoga.“I would venture to say that everything in our collective society is rooted in white supremacy. I am sure there are many people who would disagree with that, and honestly I don’t care because I believe that and I know it’s the case,” she says.
