Can we designate "Take Em Down" as a terrorist organization? (Zulu related)

Activists calling for the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club to drop its hallmark black face paint because it perpetuates painful racial stereotypes held a small rally on the neutral ground outside the group’s headquarters on North Broad Street on Thursday as members of the krewe heckled them from across the street.
quote:
Organizers with Take 'Em Down, a group that was actively involved in the removal of four monuments to Confederate officials, have turned their sights on the overwhelmingly black Carnival krewe. Riders in Zulu's parade on Mardi Gras morning, both black and white, blacken their faces.
quote:
“They know good and damn well that this blackface has its roots in minstrelsy and they are the modern-day minstrels. They are strictly for the white guests who come to town to take part in Mardi Gras,” said Malcolm Suber, one of the activist group’s leaders. Take 'Em Down sent a letter to the organization asking for a meeting but was denied, said Suber, who noted that the krewe paraded without blackface briefly in the 1960s when criticized by civil rights activists. His group plans to continue to put pressure on the club, work to build public opposition to the Zulu custom and call on the City Council to deny the krewe a parade permit in future years if it does not change its ways, he said. For Zulu leaders, blackface remains 'tradition,' 'cultural expression' even amid national reckoning For Zulu leaders, blackface remains 'tradition,' 'cultural expression' even amid national reckoning
quote:
About a dozen protesters Thursday evening held signs, chanted “Take it off” and tried to engage passing rush-hour motorists in conversation. Across Broad Street, about 40 Zulu members milled around the clubhouse, sometimes shouting back at the activists.
quote:
As the rally continued, a Zulu member ducked into his Bentley to hastily slap on the group’s signature face paint before flaunting it in front of the protesters. He then passed the makeup to another member, who did likewise.

Is this the type of thing people do when they don’t have to work during the work week?

If anything about Zulu is racist, it’s how hard it is to be white and catch a coconut

All you have to do with these folks is tell them no and ignore them. They run out of steam quickly and find something else to gripe on if you don’t engage them

These Take Em Down twats embody the phrase "Give 'em an inch..."
Anyone who didn't see something like this coming from a mile away doesn't understand how these people work. It wasn't enough that they removed the statues. Now they must move on to ruin another New Orleans institution.
New Orleanians need to be very concerned how out of town money can so influence our local government.
eta: And you can thank Mitch Landrieu for giving these fools a platform in the first place.

There has always been a quiet resentment in parts of the black community for Zulu (like any other social organization), but I still never thought I would see something like this. The uber-liberal Caucasians that have moved into town that usually support local causes have no idea who to support in this fight. That may be the most enjoyable part of this.
Good for Zulu.

How about STFU Nola. Glad Zulu is pushing back. Stop the slippery slope in its tracks right now.

they were heros up until last week because they were taking statues down of war heros, many of which fought to end slavery but were still confederates

Nothing like carpetbaggers trying to tell an old school black krewe what they can and can't do.

Like most cultural Marxist types, they know what's best for everyone.

So is this considered black on black "crime" in a sense?
