So much "can't erase history" stuff, and l am gonna take it on face value
that y'all don't really understand ( a VERY charitable read rn).
Lemmie break this down for ya:
Say you came over and put a statue up in my front yard-- one that was
in the image of the men who have verbally and physically assaulted me
over the years. How do you think it would make me feel?
Now, lets make it spicy: that statue, lets say it was built to highlighting
the virtuousness of the men who harassed, hospitalized, and hurt me?
Do you think I'd wanna come home? Do you think I'd wanna be
anywhere near it?
Would you like to see the face of your tormenters every day comin' and
goin? "History is history" really feels like "suffer, bitch."

in imageBalance Gym and CrossFit Balance are deeplydisappointed
by the recent comments made by Greg Glassman, the founder
of CrossFit. We are also extremely frustrated by the lack of
leadership from CrossFit HQ and their tone-deaf and
inadequate responses in addressing the recent crises in the
USA.
It has become evident that our values don't match those of
CrossFit HQ and we are actively taking steps to move forward
without their involvement. This is a work in progress, and we
appreciate your patience as we look at our options over the
coming days.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to our directors with any
comments, concerns, or input on how you want our community
to proceed. Black Lives Matter.

in imageWHITE FRAGILITY: WHY IT'S SO HARD FOR WHITE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT RACISM
feel some unease around certain groups of people,
if only a heightened sense of self-consciousness.
But this feeling doesn't come naturally. Our un-
ease comes from living separate from a group of
people while simultaneously absorbing incomplete
or erroneous information about them. When the
prejudice causes me to act differently—I am less
relaxed around you or I avoid interacting with you
—I am now discriminating. Prejudice always mani-
fests itself in action because the way I see the world
drives my actions in the world. Everyone has preju-
dice, and everyone discriminates. Given this reality,
inserting the qualifier "reverse" is nonsensical
When a racial group's collective prejudice is
backed by the power of legal authority and insti-
tutional control, it is transformed into racism,
far-reaching system that functions independently
from the intentions or self-images of individual ac-
tors. J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, professor of American
studies and anthropology at Wesleyan University,
explains, "Racism is a structure, not an event."13

I implore all of my RIC friends to read this, hell all of my friends!!! If */*
matter to you, then #blacklivesmatter. There is no separating the two!
I'm black, I have always been black, and will continue to be black until |
take my last breath. Being black is not all that I am, but it's a large part
of who l am. When you don't see that, respect that, or appreciate that,
then you don't see me at my fullest and most wonderful. If seeing me
and my blackness offends you, there lies *your* problem, not mine. I'm
no longer going to keep quiet or hold back, to appease those who may
feel uncomfortable talking about and thinking about race. l've come a
long way from the girl who "hated" her blackness, not because | actually
hated my blackness, but because the world around me hated my
blackness, which I then internalized. I hope that you do want to see me,
and I hope that you do work to educate yourself, and I hope you do try
to understand, and I hope you do develop empathy. But if not, that'll
have to be okay. l'll keep it pushin, because *l see myself*: black,
beautiful, strong, intelligent, passionate, and devoted to educating
these babies about how to embrace, love, except and *see* their fellow
human
Gail Hall
I see you.
I think to myself, what a lovely, kind, young lady has
grown into a lovely young women.

Louisiana has one of the lowest minimum training requirements for entry-level police, at 360 hours.
To be a licensed manicurist, you'll need 500 hours.

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

Hi team! It's your friendly neighborhood yoga coach! Balance gym is at it again— matching donations and elevating queer POC’s voices.

One of the seminal yoga texts, the Bhagavad Gita, has the story of a Arjuna, a young Archer, going to war to fight injustices (against his cousins, no less). He grapples with the concepts of pacifism, patience, and change-- aren't Yogi's suppose to be peaceful??

“Inaction is action,” Krishna tells him. He shows up as his chariot driver, guiding him to find a right action In his confusion and concern. Krishna doesn’t want anyone to get hurt! Especially not his cousins... but as Krishna reminds him, sometimes it is a greater injustice to nor Fight for peace.

If you are a practitioner looking for a way to help stop injustice, and your money goes further than your arrows, please consider doing the yogic thing and donating.

Balance gym will match your donations!
