California Women’s March cancels upcoming event for being “overwhelmingly white”

The California chapter of the Women’s March has canceled an event that had been scheduled for next month, because it would have been “overwhelmingly white.”

The group’s official statement on the cancellation says (the bolding is mine):

“The local organizers are continuing to meet and discuss how to broaden representation in the organizing committee to create an event that represents and supports peoples who live here in Humboldt. Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community… 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.”

What would it have taken for the planned march to be not white enough?

[Army Air Corps]

Well, there are those “migrants” in Tijuana...

Why don’t they call it a Jan instead of a March?

>> lacking representation from several perspectives in our community

How about getting statements from women who’ve fled Communist Cuba, Communist Vietnam, and despotic misogynist Islamist theocracy?

Linda SourSore would not approve.

Wow.

Racist much?

Rush Limbaugh is going to laugh his head off about this next week. “Didn’t I tell you? They are Nuts! I know them better than they know themselves!!”

Yeah well, ladies, don’t worry too much. After all, the home security TV spots clearly show that all home invasions and burglaries are caused by white folks. The dishonesty cancels itself out, in the end.

[Maris Crane]

Yeah, right, “overwhelmingly white,” more like “underwhelmingly attended” is more like it.

Those darn white people ruin everything.

We are here: nutcases abound, a finger in the wind is no longer sufficient, it is banging a head against a wall until you have a sensible, coherent thought, which never comes. What a joke our society has become. They have become fools with no parameters to judge what is up, what is down. “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

White people are ruining everything. What are we going to do about this?

Maybe camps?

[A_perfect_lady]

Wow. Even white liberals hate white liberals.

[Yaelle]

Aw shucks, I was 2 min late for our mind meld.

Humboldt County 2010 census: 81.7% white.

[morphing libertarian]

does white include hispanics?

[morphing libertarian]

Have they ever been too Eureka. ROTFLMAO. The only blacks in Humboldt county play basketball for Cal Sate Humboldt, are driving through to visit Pelican Bay Super-Max Prison inmates, or are on the inmate bus coming up from SQ to transfer them to Pelican Bay.

[taterjay]

THis should have been brought up 45 years ago.

Maybe camps?

><><

Yes. Whenever they can do so.
