Yoga is racist, oppressive, and a cultural appropriation

Alert Komrades, there is a new symbol of White Supremacy and it's called YOGA.

"Shreena Gandhi, a religious studies professor at Michigan State, claims in an article she recently co-authored that Americans who practice yoga are contributing to white supremacy and promote the “yoga industrial complex.” "White Americans should learn yoga's history, acknowledge the cultural appropriation they engage in and possibly reduce the cost of yoga classes for poor people"

People who practice yoga contribute to white supremacy, professor claims

As you can see in the above picture, when FREE Yoga classes are offered to the masses, they line up in droves.

Here is an example of how a couple of typical white supremacists use yoga to oppress the poor and downtrodden. Just awful!



(So spiffy! Thank you!)

The yogurt yoga lady, Shreena "Fruit on the Bottom" Gandhi, said;

“We must ask, in what ways are we complicit in a system that harms people of color, queer and trans people, poor people, people with disabilities, and immigrants?”
In keeping with your spirit of inclusion, Shreena, shouldn't you add nutty professors to the list? Just a thought.

According to The Local, last week's Nutella-induced mayhem caused a great deal of soul-searching in French media, with sociologists proclaiming the end of French solidarity.

Comrades! Professor Shreena Gandhi is Indian, so she knows her yoga.

Indeed, yoga comes from India. And what is one of the most popular decorative symbols in India? Swastikas.

Indeed, India has swastikas all over the place.

There's even a 'Hitler's Cross' restaurant in New Bombay. (We posted this link back in 2006, and it's now defunkt...)

New Restaurant Bears Hitler's Name

Customers leave after visiting 'Hitler's Cross' a restaurant at Kharghar, New Bombay, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Bombay, India, Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2006.

We hear there even was a "Hitler" store for yoga clothing and accessories, where you could buy a swastika-adorned yoga mat.

Indian 'Hitler' clothes store owners back down

Two Indian businessmen who caused an international outcry after naming their clothes store 'Hitler' and using the Swastika as a logo have said they will now rename the shop.

So when someone like Shreena Gandhi tells us yoga promotes white supremacy, we should listen.

We covered this issue many years ago, when we wrote about the violent protests around the world, involving riots and suicide bombings, as Jews rallied against the use of swastikas in India and elsewhere.

And, most importantly, the subject of The Yoga Industrial Complex. Now, if this isn't serious I don't know what is. I love doing yoga because it makes me feel good. Other than that, I don't really give a crap, other than my own curiosity, where it came from or who invented it. I just like it. Does that make me a bad person?

Can China be shamed for appropriation of Western patent office/intellectual property culture?

As a Chinese-American, I thought about this, and has come to the conclusion that it would only be considered possible on the same line that Westerns can be shamed for appropriation of the gun, a Chinese invention.

Well then, Comrade, let's consider the life of Charlie Soong, a very handsome, in a most universal way, who sold bibles to fund the revolution while producing spawn who became associated with or became themselves, very powerful because of their cultural appropriation.

And, yes, we just love your fireworks! Fabulous!

The Soong Dynasty

by Sterling Seagrave 3.94 · Rating details · 481 Ratings · 54 Reviews Descendants of a Chinese runaway who grew up in America under the protection of the Methodist church and who returned to his homeland to make a fortune selling Western bibles, the Soong family became the principal rulers of China during the first half of the 20th century and won the support of the American government and press for many decades. Sterling Seagrave describes for the first time the intricate and fascinating rise to power of Charlie Soong and his children: daughters Ai-ling, who married one of China's richest men, H.H. Kung; Ching-ling, who married Sun Yat-sen, leader of China's republican revolution; May-ling, who married Chiang Kai-shek, the autocratic ruler of Nationalist China whose ties to the Shanghai underworld the author has documented; and son T.V. Soong, who at various times served as Chiang's economic minister, foreign minister and premier. How all of the Soongs except Ching-ling amassed enormous wealth while millions of Chinese starved or were killed in the long fight against Japan and the equally bitter struggle with Mao are just some of the revelations in this explosive book.

Here's Charlie!

It's kinda hard to determine exactly what race he is, isn't it?

Point is: It doesn't really matter. Tyrants will be tyrants. That's just the way they roll.

Well said, my dear. You perfectly summarized why everything foreign being observed by Whites is not necessarily cultural appropriation. Should we say that Americans culturally appropriated British culture, at least in the colonial days? Or that the British themselves culturally appropriated every Germanic, every Roman, and every Scandinavian that came to the island before them?

If yes, then in that case, who did they appropriate?



Perhaps, with such phenomenal brainpower, you can be Kommisarka Pinkie's faculty replacement as Genosse Dummkopf's assistant should she whack anyone other than the students.

Hey, The people's Anthony Sullivan,

Hard to say exactly who appropriated who these days but, here's a good example of twisting and shouting that sets all the records straight:

Where were you when I was selecting faculty?

After perusing your selections I can only say this: I could never replace the indomitable Pinkie, even though she offered me her position as chief trasher of then first lady, Michelle's wardrobe.
You can view her offer to me at the end of her epic thread. It was most generous of her considering the fact that she said, herself, that the new First Lady was so beautiful and fashionable. So, what's left to trash? Very generous, that Pinkie.

Nor could I replace anyone else on your prestigious list. They are all wonderful contributors and my friends.

However, one person stands out above all others, a very modest, humble, low-profile contributor. And that is TRASHMOUTH! He stays low BUT once he shoots his mouth off, his TRENCHANT posts most certainly rise to the top. I can only hope I haven't embarrassed him by saying this.

So, there it is.

I know. That is why you are the emergency designated substitute, should ever the need arise.

Good grief! I am so honored. Does that mean I am also the "designated driver"? because I'm not sure that will work for the proletariat, or, maybe it will. Yes! I think it might! It's always good to be the "emergency substitute" What a wonderful honor. That way I don't have to take any responsibility for anything! Thanks! Whew!
