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."

It gets tiring to hear that everything is too white. Maybe different groups have different interests. Who says every ethnic group in a community has to have the exact same proportion of people interested in every hobby, sport, job, religion, etc?

In this case, I am glad the event was canceled. Personally, I think women have it very good here. They should go to some other countries and compare before complaining all the time.

The Chicago march of gals that was scheduled for Jan. 19 was cancelled because of the organizers’ connections and/or praise for anti-semites. Something involving Minister Farrakhan.

Projection. Reality is these marches are pimped by antisemitic islamists and so they have to blame the other side while hiding their own embrassment.

There’s a business opportunity here, in providing token “diverse” personnel to show up at various libtard functions such as speeches and marches.

What to name the company? Diversity On Demand? Rent-A-Minority?

Somehow I agree with the organizers. White women are the problem.

‘’Women of color’’. That phrases pisses me off to no end. So white isn’t a color? Black is the emptiness of color.

Gee, the organizers are discriminating against White Communists/Marxists/Progressives/Democrats, but I repeat myself.

Nothing about the March’s anti-Semitism and black racism (Tamaka/Tamika? Mallory is a fan of Farakhan - need I say more), and Sarsour is a hardcore Islamic extremist).

Check their large funding sources. As Artie Johnson would say, “Very interesting”.

I think this is wonderful news.

The left censoring itself for not being libtard enough.

Frigging great.

In other words, too many Kathys, Bettys, Marlenes, and Susans signed up; but not enough Yolandas, Juanitas, Carlotas, and Lupes.
