The Unbearable Weight Of Whiteness

Annals of progressive self-hatred

Remember this prediction from the junior senator from the State of New York?

Not in the Pothead Republic of Humboldt County, California, it ain’t: 

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.”

These progressive white women hate themselves so much they can’t bring themselves to protest on their own behalf. Wow. Just, wow.
