Am I supposed to be impressed by this?
From Marissa J. Lang’s article for the Washington Post:
The Women’s March is replacing three inaugural board members who have been dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism, infighting and financial mismanagement — controversies some say have slowed the organization’s progress and diminished its impact.
Co-Chairs Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour stepped down from the board July 15, though the organization has been slow to announce their departures. The Women’s March website continued to host their photos and titles as co-chairs through this week, when the group announced the board turnover.
“Dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism? In other words, hey, it’s not like we know there was any anti-Semitism there, but those accusations are really getting in the way, y’know.
Yep, your love affair with louis farrakhan and his Black supremacist, overtly anti-Semitic “Nation of Islam” is just a distraction.
And it only took a year.
This puts a little more of a strain on “Better late than never” than I’m willing to sustain – especially since you kept them all on board for two months after they supposedly were dumped.
I think I’ll wait and see if your group is truly rid of its anti-Semitic legacy before I reconsider my opinion of who you are and what you stand for.
