Women’s Day Protest Groups Conflict over Race in Santa Cruz
2017-03-10
[BREITBART] Conflict emerged between protest groups demonstrating on International Women’s Day in downtown Santa Cruz, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, on Wednesday, as a "Brown Squad" focused on racial issues faced off against a "less diverse" group of protesters.

The local Santa Cruz Sentinel described an "intense conflict" between the two protest groups, which it described as follows:

The protest’s two distinct groups clearly had different agendas. The first included roughly 75 younger protesters, mostly women of color, who marched down from UC Santa Cruz. This group’s messaging was focused on racism, white privilege, patriarchal oppression, as well as transgender and queer issues.

The second group consisted of about 150 women and a few men dressed mostly in red who had been brought together by the Santa Cruz General Strike Organizing Committee. Older and less diverse, this group focused on issues primary to the larger International Women’s Day Strike -- reserving most of its anger for the administration of President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
"Gimme yer stuff!"
"No!"
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"

The "Brown Squad" was the more radical of the two, according to the Sentinel. It blocked traffic downtown, leading to a tense standoff with a pickup truck driver that was captured on YouTube.
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed! [THUMP!] Ow!"
At one point, a member of the "Brown Squad" delivered a speech to the "less diverse" group, exhorting it to address its own internal privilege, according to the Sentinel:
"Ally-ship means getting off your high horse and realizing that other people are suffering a lot more than you ... To join those people over there you have to address the darkness within you."
But if they have darkness within they aren't truly less diverse, as the current cant has it, meaning the Brown Squad is confusing apparent appearance with felt reality, the bigots.

#3  In "Santa Cruz," Deadheads are dancin'
With radicals. Red hot romancin'!
But is "Cross" really on
In this dawn of Aztlan?
Let's say, UC "Dildo de Tonantzin."

With full respect to the Virgencita. Do I look crazy? Candles this very evening.

#2  Even in Santa Cruz, which pretty much divides the year into marching season and Christmas break, couldn't muster more than about 230 people altogether. What a way to demonstrate this is a cause without followers.

#1  As always, the inlines are entertaining!

This seems a case of one group trying to hijack another group and failing! I'm still trying to figure out which group was trying to do the hijacking and cane to the conclusion that both groups (as well as other not mentioned groups) were trying to hijack each others.

Hilarities resulted!
