Anyone following Linda Sarsour will be familar with her attempts to co-opt the Black Lives Matter movement and exploit intersectionality to promote her anti-Israel agenda.
And it is working.
Essence Magazine has unveiled its list of 100 “Woke Women” for the May 2017 issue. And guess who’s there, as one of the 12 featured on the cover (and one of the only – if not the only – non-Black woman).
For the first time ever, ESSENCE honors 12 women on its cover who are blazing trails for equal rights and inclusion for Black people in America.
The cover features a host of dynamic women, such as writer/producer Shonda Rhimes, veteran journalist Joy-Ann Reid, Women’s March co-chairs Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez. Plus, appearances from Women’s March organizer Janaye Ingram, political commentator Angela Rye, Circle of Mothers founder Sybrina Fulton, author/blogger Luvvie Ajayi and social activist April Reign. #BlackLivesMatter cofounder Opal Tometi and educator/activist Brittany Packnett are also featured.
Apparently, one can still “be woke” while supporting Sharia law and the destruction of the Jewish state.
Sounds like the editors are asleep at the wheel. Shame on this magazine for failing to acknowledge Sarsour’s true essence.
