The event, called "White Women Yoga Meetup," appears to be scheduled to take place in Washington, DC on March 2.
"This MeetUp group is to allow space for White women to gather in the name of yoga, surrounded by the supportive community of White people, White yoga instructors, and all around safe White spaces," the meetup's description reads.
So far, seven women including Brown appear to have RSVP'd online.
The event was created using an online platform called Meetup
On Meetup's website, users are encouraged to " create thriving communities" based on shared interests. For example, groups are available for people to learn how to cook, try scuba diving, and make crafts, among other options.
While many of the groups on Meetup are open to anyone who's interested, some are restricted to specific groups, like the "Mocha Girls Read" group that is only open to black women, and the The Divorcing Man's Support Group that's only open to divorced men.
People on Twitter are outraged by the event
While some have called the meet-up racist, others have questioned Meetup for allowing the event to be advertised on its site.
Before creating the event, Brown took to Twitter to ask Meetup why she wasnt allowed in groups created for women of color
In her tweets, Brown asked Meetup why they are "allowing this blatant racism which is against policy" on its site.
Meetup then responded, saying that groups are allowed to be created based on connections such as race, and that it would help Brown find a group that suits her needs.
Brown responded with more tweets, asking if she would be allowed to create groups that would only allow white women to join.
Meetup allegedly told Brown that she is allowed to use the platform to create groups only open to white women
In her blog post, Brown shared an email she allegedly received from Meetup. In their alleged response, the platform said that "There is nothing wrong with people wanting to meet with other people and create a private space with others who share the same culture or identity."
"If you feel the need to have a private space to connect with other white folks, you are allowed to do so," Meetup allegedly told Brown in an email. "Now bear in mind, and this applies to all groups regardless of their identities, within your description we recommend refraining from mentioning
Rather, we recommend focusing on
According to Brown's post, Meetup then allegedly said that she shouldn't speak with anyone who might criticize her group.
"Regarding members who complain against you, I highly recommend refraining from engaging them, and instead remove them from your group," Meetup allegedly told Brown.
Brown called Meetup both the disease and the symptom of what is happening to our country in her blog post
"Meetup is an organization that promotes separatism and racism and has been doing so for over a decade," Brown said on her blog.
The criminal profiler continued to say that, as a mother of two biracial children and one black son, she's worried for their futures.
"I worry about my children and my grandchildren and my friends, Black and White and Asian and Hispanic, having to choose which group to belong to and who they dare not associate with," Brown said on her blog.
"Ramping up racism, refusing to associate with people of a different color, and claiming to need 'safe spaces' because even being near a person of another race is emotionally destructive," Brown said. "This should not be happening in America."
Speaking to INSIDER, Brown said that she never intended to hold the White Women Yoga Meetup
"I never intended to have any events," Brown told INSIDER. "I dont approve of the group I set up. I only did so to bring forth the racism and separatism promoted by Meetup and some members of our society."
She continued to say that she believes in inclusion and would "never refuse anyone of any race, religion, or sexual orientation in any real group" that she is part of.
Brown also questioned why so many people have called her a racist.
"It is interesting how many people call me a racist and stirring up hate when my point is exactly the opposite," Brown told INSIDER. "Few seem to be upset with Meetup for allowing one-race only groups and discrimination."
Representatives for Meetup did not immediately reply to INSIDER's requests for comments.
