The Admiral 05/29/17 1:58:14 PM #1:	http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mayor-of-paris-condemns-event-for-black-feminists/ The mayor of Paris is threatening to take legal action against an upcoming festival for black feminists. The mayor has strongly criticized the event, where four-fifths of the space will be open exclusively to black women. She said she might cancel it. Rights groups have branded the event a step backward on race issues. In a series of angry tweets on Sunday, Mayor Anne Hidalgo said she would call on authorities to prohibit the three-day cultural festival scheduled for July. Hidalgo said she might call for the prosecution of its organizers on grounds of discrimination. "I firmly condemn the organization of this event in Paris (that's) 'forbidden to white people,'" Hidalgo wrote. Telephone calls to MWASI, the group sponsoring the festival, were not immediately returned Monday. The group describes itself on its website as "an Afro-feminist collective that is part of the revolutionary liberation struggles" and is open to black and mixed-race women. France defines itself as a country united under one common national identity, with laws against racial discrimination and to promote secularism to safeguard an ideal that began with the French Revolution. Nice to see that the French are much more intelligent about combating this stupidity than Americans are. Maybe all those people who always want the U.S. to be more like Europe will come to their side on this issue too. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:880020246] in Paris mayo...
