Washington, August 16 (RHC)-- In the United States, far-right extremist groups are planning a series of protests for this upcoming weekend in at least nine cities: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and in Mountain View, California. 

The rallies are being called to protest Google for having fired a white male engineer who authored a sexist manifesto, which he e-mailed to all of his colleagues, in which claimed that women are biologically inferior and less capable of assuming leadership roles in the tech industry.  The now-fired engineer has become a hero among far-right extremists. 

There are also white supremacist rallies planned for San Francisco and Berkeley, California, later this month.  Counter-protests are already being planned. 

Meanwhile, Texas A&M University has canceled a planned White Lives Matter rally, which was slated to take place on September 11, amid concerns about the possibility of deadly white supremacist violence.
