Organizers of the Women’s March in Humboldt County, California, announced Friday that they have canceled the local Jan. 19 event because the marchers are overwhelmingly white.
In a Facebook statement, the group said it opted to nix the third annual march “after many conversations between local social-change organizations and supporters of the march,” saying they would work on how to “broaden representation in the organizing committee.”
“Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community,” said the statement. “Instead of pushing forward with crucial voices absent, the organizing team will take time for more outreach.”

I would think they would just be happy that any woman of any color would want to join them. This seems absurd. This isn't logical. It's a women's march, not a race march correct?

Now...
Let's ALL just take a step back from our partisan positions...take a deep breath...center ourselves...and calmly ask of this situation...one quintessential question:
"ARE THESE PEOPLE F**KING NUTS?"
It's a march FOR women...but it's too white.
