A rally was scheduled for 2019, but has now been axed amid all of the controversy regarding recent reports that Women’s March organizers actively promoted anti-Jewish sentiments among the organization, particularly an odd affinity for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Due to several issues we have decided it is necessary to cancel the 2019 Women’s March in New Orleans,” the National Organization for Women’s (NOW) Baton Rouge chapter posted on social media Friday.
In their statement, NOW’s Baton Rouge Chapter emphasized their desire for Women’s March co-chairs to step down.
In October, Women’s March representative Alyssa Milano was confronted by me — investigative journalist Laura Loomer — while speaking on a panel about the #MeToo movement and Women’s March. I asked Milano to disavow Sarsour, who supports Sharia Law which encouraged Jew hatred and homophobia, two things the Women’s March claims to be against. Milano not only denied my claim despite being presented with evidence in person, but she refused to answer the question. However, nearly two weeks later, Milano disavowed Sarsour, citing Jew hatred.
While my face to face confrontations with both Sarsour and Milano led to a viral discussion about the Women’s March support of Jew hatred, in November, Tablet Magazine expanded on my work and reported Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory, two of the Women’s March’s founders, harassed a Jewish woman who was part of the Women’s March. According to the report, Mallory, who is a supporter of Farrakhan, began berating the woman with anti-Jewish slurs, and told her the Jewish people “bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people,” and “were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade.”
Carmen Perez, another key member of the Women’s March, also posted a since-deleted photo with Farrakhan in 2016. In the post, Perez is seen holding his hand with the caption: “And one thing I know whether people agree with his message or not is that the Minister often speaks his truth.” In the replies to the photo, Sarsour posted, “the brother does not age. God bless him.”
In October, Farrakhan took to Twitter to call for the extermination of Jews. He tweeted, “I’m not anti-Semite, I’m anti-Termite.”
In his talks, Farrakhan has praised Hitler, and has gone as far as saying, “Hitler was a very good man.” You know, the same Hitler responsible for the murder of 6 Million Jews.
In the same Tablet article, Vanessa Wruble, one of the Women’s March founders, said she was forced out of the group because she is Jewish and not liked by Sarsour and Mallory simply because she is Jewish.
Last week, the Chicago Women’s March also canceled their event and issued a statement condemning Sarsour and Mallory’s connections to Farrakhan, who is a resident of Chicago.
“No universe exists in which it is acceptable to support anti-Semitic statements. Women’s March Chicago condemns bigotry in all its forms. We reject Minister Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ views. Our work is to fight against social and racial injustice everywhere, no matter its source. As an additional point of clarification, and as many of you already know, Women’s March Chicago is not now and never has been affiliated with Women’s March Inc. We receive ZERO funding or organizational support from them and share NO common leadership.”
In November,Theresa Shook, the founder of the Women’s March called on Sarsour, Mallory, and Perez to step down from their roles as co-founders of the Women’s March.
Women’s March rallies in Nevada, Portland ,Chicago, and California have also been canceled.
Baton Rouge NOW said they will be refunding donations and t-shirt purchases from unhappy women who no longer wish to attend the Women’s March.
It turns out marching in pink pussy hats with Jew haters and racists isn’t a good look after all…

“So, you’re unaware of the fact that nazi Germany had a wall called the Berlin Wall that was torn down in 1991 in order to foster humanity and diversity? Walls didn’t work for Nazis so why build them here? Build bridges not walls Nazi lover,” Talib Kweli said in response to another social media user.
Of course, the Berlin Wall was erected not by Nazi Germany, but by socialist East Germany, which was under the occupation of the communist Soviet Union at the time.
Also, unlike President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the United States-Mexico border, the Berlin Wall was created to stop people from leaving East Germany’s occupation to travel into free West Berlin.
Talib Kweli’s social media posts are not only fact-deficient, they are often hate-filled and vitriolic. In 2016, the “Get By” rapper attacked Breitbart News’ Jerome Hudson, repeatedly disparaging him with the racial slur “coon.”
Twitter, despite their strict enforcement of rules when it comes to conservatives, took no action despite Kweli repeatedly racially abusing people on the platform over political disagreements.

The 74-year-old Ingrid’s glasses broke in half when the criminal Afghan Walid struck her in her face. Walid then accused the elderly woman of being racist – and got off with only a few weeks’ imprisonment.
On 31 October, Ingrid went down to the laundry room in her apartment building. There she met 29-year-old Walid.
According to Ingrid, Walid was carrying a mattress when she saw him. After she asked if he had slept at his parents, he replied, “No, I’m an idiot.” She replied “Yes, you are.”
The Afghan then tore off and broke her glasses, then punched her hard in the face. Ingrid was in pain and shock afterwards. When Walid was arrested by police, he grinned when he was photographed.
During the trial, the Afghan defended himself by claiming that Ingrid had insulted him “in a racist way”. Solna District Court sentenced Walid to only four weeks in prison.
He will also pay €500 in damages to Ingrid. Walid is a citizen of Afghanistan, but the prosecutor did not call for expulsion.
He has been sentenced several times before – but each time he has avoided expulsion. He previously appears under 12 sections in the criminal registers.
In February 2012, Walid was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted murder, but was already released in December 2015.
Murray is the two-sport star of Oklahoma University and is predicted to be a future big name in either the NFL or Major League Baseball.
The 21-year-old quarterback was awarded the revered Heisman Trophy, the honor given to the best player in college football.
But his rise to prominence has also resulted in the emergence of tweets posted more than six years ago, when Murray, as a 15-year-old, tweeted at his friends using an anti-gay slur.
Four such tweets were discovered and remained on his Twitter account on Saturday night, but were deleted by Sunday morning.
Murray later took to the social media platform to issue a public apology for comments made during his teenage years.
“I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was 14 and 15,” the Sooners quarterback wrote.
“I used a poor choice of word that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe.
“I did not intend to single out any individual or group.”
Outrage over tweets posted as youngsters has become something of a trend in American sports, with a host of players finding themselves in similar situations after negative stories regarding years-old tweets appeared during high-profile moments in their emerging careers.
Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen faced a similar situation on the eve of the 2018 NFL Draft regarding racist tweets posted during his teenage years.
Allen issued a similar apology and his draft stock appeared relatively undamaged as he was drafted seventh overall by the Buffalo Bills, who traded up to secure the signing of the big-armed quarterback.
Another example saw Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Hader forced to apologize after racist, misogynistic and homophobic tweets from his teenage years resurfaced this summer.
Despite his abilities on the American football field, Murray looks set to turn his back on a potential career in the NFL in order to pursue a professional baseball career instead.
He was drafted ninth overall as a center fielder by the Oakland Athletics in this year’s Major League Baseball draft, and his baseball agent Scott Boras told NFL.com that there was no doubt which sport his client would be playing next season.
“Kyler has agreed and the A’s agreed to a baseball contract that gave him permission to play college football through the end of the collegiate season,” he said.
“After that, he is under contract to play baseball. That is not a determination to make. It’s already done.”
Murray is set to join the A’s for spring training in February after the College Football Playoffs, where Oklahoma will take on Alabama on December 29.
On Tuesday, South African parliament approved a report which recommends changing the national constitution to allow the state to take privately-owned land without compensation as long as it is justified by public interest. Redistribution of land, supporters believe, would be beneficial to the South African public.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, who came to power in February, has made it a priority for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) to adopt a racially-loaded amendment to the country’s constitution. A small white minority owns most of the farmland in the former colony, and ANC insists that it’s a historic injustice that needs rectifying.
This is just one step in a lengthy legal process of changing the nation’s foundational law in accordance with Ramaphosa’s vision. The next would be drafting a bill enacting the constitutional amendment, followed by a period of public feedback before it can be put to a vote. Both chambers of the Parliament will then have to approve the bill before it is sent to the president for signing into law.
The main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) and some rights groups are critical of the plans, saying they would scare off international investors and potentially damage the national economy. DA said ahead of the Tuesday parliament debate that it may go to court to stop the proposed reform.
But last week’s decision by South African High Court may be an indicator that such a challenge may not be successful. Last Friday the court rejected a challenge brought by AfriForum, a group representing mainly white Afrikaners, requesting the judiciary to overturn the parliamentary report and thus stop the reform process.
The group argued that the committee broke the rules when it appointed an external service provider to compile the report. It also said the MPs failed to consider over 100,000 submissions opposing the constitutional change.
Afriforum, which mostly consists of Afrikaners, the descendants of South African white colonist farmers, said it will continue to fight the reform, including through legal action.

Ironically the racially-sensitive issue was raised a day before South Africa commemorated the anniversary of the death of Nelson Mandela, the former president of the ANC and the country itself, who is credited for destroying the apartheid regime.

The Drake University student, who has not been identified, admitted to writing one of the notes and also allegedly received one of the notes, the Des Moines Register reported Friday. The student reported four racist notes, which officials believe to be hoaxes.
“The fact that the actions of the student who has admitted guilt were propelled by motives other than hate does not minimize the worry and emotional harm they caused, but should temper fears,” Drake University President Marty Martin wrote in a statement to students and staff, according to the Register.
Martin added the notes reported on Nov. 13, Nov. 15 and on Nov. 28 are “copycat hoaxes of an initial campus incident.”
The initial note is not linked to the four fake notes, the Register reported. Des Moines police spokesman Paul Parizek said the female student faces harassment charges.
She could also face expulsion from the university, Drake spokesman Jarad Bernstein said, according to the Register. More than 3,000 students along with other people hosted a rally as a result of the reported notes. A student speaker at the rally believed her life was in danger at the school. Students also covered a street that is typically filled with colorful artwork with black paint.
“To demonstrate shared commitment to Drake University’s students of color, the campus community will join together to paint the Painted Street black, a powerful statement of solidarity and anti-racism,” a Paint It Black: Street Painting event on Facebook said.
The investigation is ongoing at the university.
This is not the first time a racist note’s legitimacy is questioned at a university. A Kansas State University student allegedly wrote a hoax racist note and posted it on his apartment door. The note was reported to police on Nov. 8, a day prior to the midterm elections.
Drake University did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

The video, shot last January and obtained by TMZ, shows the star running back engaged in a heated confrontation with other patrons in a Kansas City nightclub. A police report obtained by the same outlet states that former NFL running back George Atkinson, along with others including Hunt, became involved in a violent incident with another man.
The man would later claim that he became involved in the confrontation when Atkinson pushed a friend of his, later telling police that he was treated in a Kansas City-area hospital for a broken rib, a broken nose and numerous contusions.
TMZ reports that Atkinson didn’t pursue charges against Atkinson or Hunt. The woman who was pushed and kicked by Hunt in the video which caused the player’s release from the Chiefs organization also did not press charges.
Hunt was also reported as having punched a man in a separate incident in Ohio in June of this year and, much like the other incidents, he also did not pursue police involvement.
Hunt, who was a central figure to Kansas City’s push for the Super Bowl this season, was released from the franchise after officials determined that he had not been truthful with them in their initial investigations into the January assault.
He was subsequently placed on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s Exempt List, meaning that he is not currently permitted to play, train or even attend NFL games. The full extent of Hunt’s punishment is not yet clear but he passed Monday’s waiver deadline, meaning that none of the remaining 31 NFL teams opted to claim his services.
In his first public comments since his release last week, Hunt told ESPN that he believes he deserved to be forgiven for his role in the January incident.
“I’m asking for forgiveness and I definitely believe I deserve forgiveness,” Hunt told ESPN. “Everything is really happening fast right now, and I just want everybody to forgive me.
“I know it’s going to be hard. I made a bad choice and I’m not going to let this bring me down.”
