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."

That is true.

If it were not for Christian white people, every black man would have castrated and put up for sale on a Muslim slave block — assuming he survived the process.

You’re not being snarky at all. The fact is that none of the Third world countries built what we enjoy day in and day out in our modern culture. Western Civilization did it all including eliminating slavery (only third world mentalities continue its use.)
