Organizers cancel Women's March Jan. 19 due to 'overwhelmingly white' participants

EUREKA, Calif. — The organizers of the annual Women's March have decided not to hold a rally in Eureka on Jan. 19, as previously planned, because they say participants do not represent the diversity of the area.

"This decision was made after many conversations between local social-change organizers and supporters of the march," organizers said in a press release. They said organizers will continue to meet and discuss how to broaden representation to create an event that represents Humboldt County.

"Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community," the press release went on to say. "Instead of pushing forward with crucial voices absent, the organizing team will take time for more outreach. Our goal is that planning will continue and we will be successful in creating an event that will build power and community engagement through connection between women that seek to improve the lives of all in our community."

Women of color know these change-organizers are just full of crap and do not want to be associated with the racist beotches. That is truth to power.

More likely ‘lack of participation’ by anyone.

Lacking representation from several perspectives. Im guessing a Conservative perspective isn’t one they were concerned about.

Why didn't those white women just pretend to be Cherokee? This has worked before. Why not give it a try now?

White liberals are control freaks. They treat people of color like little kids and with a very paternal and patronizing attitude. It still galls me why people of color still vote for these people, other than for the federal goodies that the Dems promise for everybody.

Eureka? On any given day the chance of rain is over 50%. Besides that part of the world is mostly white.

You know, I almost hate to be snarky about this, but if it weren’t for white people, minorities and women wouldn’t be so free today.

The international slave trade ended when Christian whites began their campaigns for abolition in England and the US.

But radical women refuse to march if there aren’t enough women of color and other victims of white patriarch oppression to show up for the optics.

My father was right when he told me that the biggest mistake this country ever made was giving women the vote.

The funniest part about this is that Eureka is a very white area. An all-white women's march actually would be representative of the diversity of the area.

This is getting hilarious! They’ve divided every conceivable group from one another, and now, one group can’t hold a function without including the groups they separated from. Say what? Liberalism is insanity!

How could they tell? Must not have been enough Shamika’s, Lochanda’s and Denisha’s on the registration list.

Libtards should just bring them in temporarily from other regions and states like they do for elections.

Remember: when they ban whites from their marches, it’s not racism. :)
