Rally organizers convinced hundreds of white supremacists to overlook their ideological…
Despite backtracking on a ban that would have prohibited marchers with pro-Israel or Star of David displays to participate in Saturday's Chicago SlutWalk, organizers and participants still managed to alienate Jewish "Zioness" allies marching in protest of rape culture and in support of sexual assault victims.
