Women’s March Chicago organizers cited high costs and limited volunteer hours as the main reasons for nixing the annual rally and march, but the real reason is the controversy and it's to their credit that they refuse to align with the leaders of the national movement involving their ties to self-proclaimed anti-Semite scum crumpet Louis Farrakhan the leader of Nation of Islam.
Marches and rallies are still planned for Jan. 19 in Washington, D.C., and dozens of cities nationwide and internationally, as well as other parts of Illinois like Rockford, southwest suburban New Lenox and northwest suburban Woodstock because anti-Semites or no anti-Semites, they want something for which to march.
Women's March Chicago leaders say they'll commemorate the anniversary of the original march with another activity but haven't released any details on the location or nature of the event.
“There’s no march, there’s no rally,” said Sara Kurensky, Women’s March Chicago board member. “We’re going to provide ways for people to organize and take action in their local communities.”
Leaders of the national group Women’s March Inc. have come under fire for their reluctance to condemn the rhetoric of Farrakhan, whose Chicago-based Nation of Islam is considered an anti-Semitic hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
In a February speech, Farrakhan praised Women’s March Inc. co-President Tamika Mallory and in the same address declared “the powerful Jews are my enemy.” The national organization denounced Farrakhan’s comments in March, but many criticized leaders for not speaking up sooner. Mallory has also praised Farrakhan on social media.
Co-founder of the national movement Teresa Shook in November called for national leaders to step down, after having “allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs,” according to a social media post.
The president of a Women’s March chapter in Washington state earlier this month announced the group would be dissolving in protest. The Rhode Island chapter in May said it was separating from the national organization.

In a New York Times article published Sunday, when questioned about a report stating that the leadership had discussed the issue [i.e., their disapproval] of having Jewish women at their initial meeting days after the presidential election, two Women's March leaders, Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez, admitted they had, but lied in an earlier report in Tablet magazine where they denied the claim:
To this day, Mallory and Bland deny any such statements were ever uttered, either at the first meeting or at Mallory's apartment. "There was a particular conversation around how white women had centered themselves--and also around the dynamics of racial injustice and why it was essential that racial justice be a part of the women's rights conversation," remembered Bland. But she and Mallory insisted it never had anything to do with Jews. “Carmen and I were very clear at that [first] meeting that we would not take on roles as workers or staff, but that we had to be in a leadership position in order for us to engage in the march,” Mallory told Tablet, in an interview last week, adding that they had been particularly sensitive to the fact that they had been invited to the meeting by white women, and wanted to be sure they weren’t about to enter into an unfair arrangement. “Other than that, there was no particular conversation about Jewish women, or any particular group of people.”Afterward, when The New York Times spoke to Mallory about the meeting, she uttered a statement that might well be taken as an indictment of Jews themselves for white supremacist attacks on them, saying, “Since that conversation, we’ve all learned a lot about how while white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy, ALL Jews are targeted by it.”
Yeah--it's those white Jews who are white supremacists and uphold white ideas. And that's why whitey is racist and we are not.
One of the original Women's March leaders, Fay Wruble, a Jewish woman, was kicked out soon after the initial march by the anti-Semitic leadership that replaced the original founders. Wruble, as the Times reported, went on to found an organization called March On.
A group affiliated with March On will march on the same day in January as the Women’s March; that group will make a point of denouncing anti-Semitism. The Times reported, “Some Jewish women have announced on social media their skipping the Washington mass protest on January 19th.
Wruble said that at the initial meeting, Mallory and Perez told her that Jews had been heavily involved people in the slave trade. Surprised and perplexed by the accusation, she googled the claim, and found it had been publicized by the anti-Semitic and racist low-life Louis Farrakhan in his book, “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and the Jews," a book which Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard professor who is black, termed the “bible of the new anti-Semitism.”
Perez and Mallory denied that the slave trade had ever been mentioned.
Wruble also claimed that one of the leaders of the movement told her “we really couldn’t center Jewish women in this or we might turn off groups like Black Lives Matter.”
Mallory’s remarks about Jews being white supremacists and the movement’s apparent anti-Semitism drew plenty of criticism:

Radical Farrakhan-nists and Fee-Palestine bigots:
ReplyDeleteDo Brown Black Lives matter...if they're Israelis?
BLACK, BROWN, WHITE, YELLOW ISRAELIS
Since color has become a language somehow, and anti Israel bigots distort, then let's remind, most Israelis are "brown," in terms of stats. You have also many Ethiopian Jews.
No wonder the propagandists will never show democratic multiracial Israel in day to day lives.
Or elaborate on anti-black racism in the Goliath Arab world. Though all non Arabs have been through racism in that world.
SECURITY VS RACISTS
But of course Israeli security concerns are just that. Unrelated to any "color" or "race." Actually, speaking of racism, yes, Arab Muslim attackers target only Jews. Talk about real racism.
BACKGROUND ON HIJACKING TERMINOLOGY
True, hijacking of term 'it's racism," is as old as Palestine propaganda emerged by holocaust denier Issa Nakhleh who began in June-17-1949 the "like the Nazis and worse than nazis" line (and by Nov-14-1972 said all 6,000,000 were alive and Hitler "didn't" kill, and represented 'Muslim Congress' at Holocaust deniers convention in 1981), then picked up in 1960 by Nazi Tacuara saluter Ahmad Shukairy who by Oct-17-1961 added that garbage-touch apartheid slur too and questioned Catholic Uruguayan rep. Enrique Fabregat's loyalty, stating because he's (supposedly) a Jew. And both, of course were Hitler's ally ex-mufti Islamic leader al-Husseini avid fans. With Shukairy his aide.
Speaking of ex Mufti's admirers... Sufi Abdul Hamid, infamous 'Black Hitler' in NY who called to drive out Italians and Jews in the 1929-30, was also his admirer.
RE FARAKHANNISTS & FAKE "PRO-"
One might begin to argue there is such a thing as "pro Palestine", (only) when Farrakhan linked Ilhan Omar / Linda Sarsour / Rashida Tlaib will have a routine of decrying Arab Muslim suffering when it's not in context of Israel (who has been facing existential threat ever since) but suffering when by Arab Muslim entities. One would then hear about a real en-masse massacre. Such as hundreds of thousands in Syria, current example. And if they begin to do anything along the line, then no lip service please. But with that same "passion" as in fake "sympathy" played at the 'other' case.
The absentee reason is clear. Self explanatory. Because pro Palestine is a cover for anti Israel and often anti ALL Jews.
A note re L Farrakhan, that guy with his "blue eyes are the devil," when he uttered his "termites" venom, his genocidal hint was clear under the veil.
