Madison, WI Public Library class.... with a BIPOC caveat

[MPL] Madison Public Library is hosting Movement & Meditation classes for seniors on Fridays in May at both Goodman South Madison Library (2222 S. Park St.) and Meadowridge Library (5726 Raymond Rd.).

Movement & Meditation is a movement class where elements of mindfulness and movement intersect for one hour! All identities, skill levels, and capabilities are encouraged and welcomed. Adaptable movements will be shared for all abilities. The end of each class will include time for reflection and connection. Notebooks and writing materials will be provided. This is an invitation to get to know your community while learning more about dance, movement and mindfulness.

Presented by KLJ Movement(link is external). KLJ Movement is a professional performance and dance company that embraces the influence of black and brown people in the world of dance.

This program is intended for BIPOC seniors 55+. Space is limited, so register to reserve your spot by clicking the links below.

Emphasis added at the closing para.

BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Pronounced “bye-pock,” this is a term specific to the United States, intended to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous groups and demonstrate solidarity between communities of color.

...and the pointed exclusion of those defined as lacking thereof, regardless of their personal experience with acceptance and bigotry. Where do “white Hispanics” fit into that world view? We know how Jewish Holocaust survivors are defined.

#1
So basically BIPOC is a Race vs Race focused group and not a group promoting racial Unity to non-members of color.

Isn't that what the MSM, Hollywood has-been's & LSD's quickly label Racist and vilify?

Strange, that I haven't seen or heard the Reverends, LSD's or Hollywood has-been's or the usual sudden expert talking heads screaming their lungs out about the racist BIPOC Group.

#2 intended to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous groups and demonstrate solidarity between communities of color.

No offense, but you would be better off centering your experiences around reading, writing, and arithmetic.

It's not about learning or higher education. As we all know, 'math be hard.' It's about something a bit more primal. The courtship of the species.
