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."

Actually Indians are probably one of the largest non-white populations up there. There are several reservations in the area.

Vaccination drive (to innoculate kids against the resurgence of Small Pox) cancelled because volunteers were "overwhelmingly White"

Yeah, that makes sense!

How freeing to be conservative in these times and how utterly depressing to be a leftist.

How about the eco movement, and their fellow travellers the animal rights whackos? They’re overwhelmingly White, and mostly well-to-do women. Oh, sure, occasionally on
Animal Planet there’s an episode of African natives saving elephants, rhinos or whatever the endangered species du joure happens to be at the moment, while being supervised by WHITE scientists from the US, Canada, Austrailia, Europe, acting like so many “great White fathers”. But let’s get real, when was the last time a “Brother” or Sister” saved a whale? Or raised concerns about overpopulation, the supposedly melting ice caps, glacier reductions, etc. 0bama? Sure, only because he owes the tree huggers big time. PETA, WWF, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth may as be “Whites only” clubs. Hell, I’ve seen more diversity at a NASCAR race.

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


Second biggest. First biggest was giving people who own no property (no standing no stake) the vote.

I think women have it very good here. They should go to some other countries and compare before complaining all the time.

Unfortunately, complaining is the favorite hobby of many women.

The non-white rent-a-mob only shows up when, well - you pay the rent.

Before all is said and done liberal brainwashed white women will be kicked to the curb by everyone, and still will not understand why.

“What am I to conclude?”

Maybe that all the POC women are all too busy earning an honest living to join in?

Who believes this was the real reason?

I’m guessing it was canceled because they discovered they couldn’t control the narrative once they diversified the leadership. They wouldn’t stay on-message.
