Church of Yoga Nola - closing to "acknowledge thier privilege"

Every single person in that thread is mentally unstable.

They must’ve run out of cash. That place will be burned down shortly I’d imagine.

Haha. Good lord. That’s what you get for trying to do some good in a community and make things nice and add value to a shitty part of town.

Get called a racist just for being white and opening up in a black neighborhood. Seems to me like a behavior that a certain Dr in the 60s along with 100s of thousands of others would march against.

This is exactly the shite i keep saying.

BLM movement doesn’t want equality. They want all power stripped from white folks.

The owner said that the community called them out for their racist behavior for nothing more than having a white owned business.

Since it was in a black area, they can’t exist.

Explain how that is even remotely equality or why white folks can’t own a business and not think black lives actually matter?

From the inception of COY, Dana used the power of her skin color and her economic position to gentrify this space then grossly misappropriated and branded a yoga studio as a hot pink “church” in a Black community. No one in the community asked her to come heal them and she received tons of criticism and backlash but proceed forward along with the endless other out-of-town white saviors post Katrina. At that point Dana also made a public statement about committing to “listening and learning” when she had to scale back the public opening but here we are again? Then most recently bringing cops into the community just fully demonstrates Dana’s violent white entitlement. You can have the most impact by relinquishing the space to the people you colonized it from and directing any future donations to a Black led org in the community.

Good god.

What the frick does any of that mean?

.

I seem to remember about 8-10 years ago complaints about the lack of business investment in New Orleans East and the 9th Ward. Flash forward and now people who invest in opening businesses in the area are called racist because they’re a white owned business in a black neighborhood. These people make no sense

here's a self-awareness checklist from her twitter. i guess she doesn't realize she checks nearly every box on the left.
