California organizers cancel Women's March due to 'overwhelmingly white' participants

[Axulus]

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.

"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.

White people are horrible people. They are singularly and uniquely responsible for every bad thing ever. Ever. The world will achieve peace and harmony when they are gone. That’s what intersectionality is all about, you cishat White male bigot.

EUREKA, Calif. (KRCR) — 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.

"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."

They failed to achieve their goal so they're going back to the drawing board and will try to organize an event that does.

In other words, it's not really about women.

You need to explain that more fully if you do not wish people to view it as a non-sequitur.

I'm still a little fuzzy on some of the details. So, this is a women's march to protest against stuff relating to women. How does race, specifically an excess of white women, affect the content or theme of a protest concerning gender? Let's say somehow, the march organizers were able to get a 20% African American women participation (a pretty neat trick in a county that is about 85% white and 1% African American). How would that change the march (other than the skin color mix)?

It gives followers of the new religion an opportunity to virtue signal their piety. It was never about women’s rights.

Maybe its not too late to bus in some non-whites from other areas. Give them a hotel room, pink hats and signs to hold. Sounds like these people are in need of some black friends anyway.

Where's Underseer in all this? We could use his expertise on all things white in this discussion.

 

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

I probably don't care but then again what's the difference between having an all rich white male jury all the time versus juries representative of one's peers? Is an empirical observation that there is a statistical difference between the two scenarios heresy?

He must be guilty of white genocide again.

Once again, instead of searching on the internet about this situation or actually reading with comprehension the single response from a woman, the usual suspects proudly demonstrate their ignorance about women and what women may actual want.

They're cancelling it for a reason unrelated to the supposed core mission.

It was in the past, it's been subverted.

The OP article has been updated with new information. The organizers of the Eureka Women's March have released a statement explaining their intentions with the march and their reasons for postponing it.

I don't see how anyone could have failed to understand why the march was being postponed after reading the original article but if anyone did, hopefully this update clarifies things for them. I have bolded some parts of the text so it won't be overlooked:

The organizers of the Eureka Women’s March in Humboldt County, California, are moving the focus towards an event date on March 9th, in conjunction with International Women's Day, to ensure that the people most impacted by systems of oppression have an opportunity to participate in planning. We failed to have the type of collaboration needed to be inclusive of some of the most underrepresented voices in our community, namely, women of color and people who are gender non-conforming.

Our intention with this march is to affect real social change by raising the voices of all women within our community. We recognize the majority of our current leadership team is white, and planning for this event has been centered around our experiences. In recognizing our failure to put enough effort into being more inclusive, we are attempting to make things right by taking this time to create a more balanced leadership team. Our goal moving forward is to ensure the voices of women of color are heard and centered when we come together for the furtherance of the rights and protection of women.

Throughout history, women of color have been proven over and over again to be some of the most vulnerable populations. From the suffering of enslaved Black women in early gynecological experiments, to the current epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women across the nation and beyond. Having their voices go unheard can be a matter of life and death, and it is imperative that a safe community is created for everyone.

In response to this decision, President of the Eureka NAACP Chapter, Sharrone Blanck said, “I think it was a great decision to postpone the march because it did not reflect the community the way the organizers see the community. They want to do it right. That means the organizers want to build relationships with the larger community of women so that the march actually reflects the diversity of experiences of women in Humboldt County. The organizers checked themselves. They want to do it right, not just have a march.”

It is a shame that members of the far left have no sense of humor. If they did then they would be able to see the irony in such nonsensical decisions. get a good laugh from it, then go on with the march for women.

No, no. We got it. Rest assured. Intersectionality is a religion worthy of mockery.

 

[Arctish]

No, no. We got it. Rest assured.

I'm not so sure about that. Some of you guys post first and read OP articles never.

Intersectionality is a religion worthy of mockery.

That's an interesting assertion. Care to explain your reasons for calling it a religion more fully, or are we just supposed to take your word for it?

 

[Derec]

No, no. We got it. Rest assured. Intersectionality is a religion worthy of mockery.

Regular feminism: "You are bad because you are a man and you should feel bad"
Intersectional feminism: "You are not only bad because you are a man but you are especially bad because you are a white, heterosexual, cis-gendered man who is not a Muslim and/or an illegal alien from Honduras. And you should feel bad".

 

[Arctish]

Intersectional feminism: "You are not only bad because you are a man but you are especially bad because you are a white, heterosexual, cis-gendered man who is not a Muslim and/or an illegal alien from Honduras. And you should feel bad".

Early feminism: "Discrimination against women is harmful to individuals and societies; it must be eliminated in order to achieve a more fair, just, harmonious, and productive society".

Modern feminism: "Gender based discrimination is harmful to individuals and societies; it must be eliminated in order to achieve a more fair, just, harmonious, and productive society".

Intersectional feminism: "Harmful discrimination in our society is not limited to sexism. Racism, chauvinism, ethnic and religious bigotry, and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals create additional obstacles, which must also be eliminated in order to achieve a more fair, just, harmonious, and productive society".

Misogynist white supremacist chauvinism: "White men are the most intelligent, valuable, and worthy members of our society; they are the most qualified to have the most power, which is why they do".

Alt-right snowflakeism: "White men are the most hated and discriminated against people in our society! Why do you hate men?!?!!!!1!!".

The core mission is right there in the name.
