By Anita Little

…or capitalist ends, Rogers still thinks about what it means when the black community repurposes yoga. She feels trap yoga isn’t a response to its originators, but more a response to what the United States did to yoga, which was make it expensive and bland. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVcvL8kg0nM/?taken-by=trapyogabae “I would be lying if I said we’re honoring the Bhagavad Gita because we’re not.

…as the “National Association of Gals,” or “Nags.” A report in EthicsDaily.com alerted me to Land’s offensive comments (which, by the way, are even more chilling when you listen to the audio version). Because of Land’s long history of bullying and bald partisanship, I called on Land to do the honorable thing: apologize and tender his resignation. Others agreed. Land, apparently feeling the pressure, has issued what he characterized as an apology….

They’re more aware, they’ve experienced this emotional moment, which is really rare. I don’t know where else you do that. Even in a movie theater, you’re going to have that moment with a good movie, but you’re going to be sitting in the dark, you’re not going to talk to anyone, a…
