Did I mention the link to Greta Thunberg? (There wasn't enough text characters for that.)
I bestow upon you the first four paragraphs:
| quote | In September 2019, the streets of Auckland, New Zealand, were a sea of protesters. Across the globe, several million people were marching as part of the “School Strike 4 Climate” youth movement sparked by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg. But few demonstrations were more sweeping than the one in New Zealand’s largest city, where up to 80,000 marchers filled the streets.
Less than two years later, however, one of the groups that organized the Auckland event is disbanding because of what it says is its own racism.
In a Facebook post, School Strike 4 Climate’s Auckland chapter said it was shutting down because it “has been a racist, white-dominated space.” It directed people concerned about climate change to Indigenous-led groups and said it would not be organizing any more climate strikes.
“SS4C AKL [School Strike 4 Climate’s Auckland chapter] has avoided, ignored, and tokenised BIPOC voices and demands, especially those of Pasifika and Māori individuals in the climate activism space,” it wrote. BIPOC is the acronym for Black, Indigenous and people of color, while Pasifika refers to people who identify with the Pacific islands. |

Further down in the report, there's a woman with a very Indigenous-sounding name that checked in with this:
| quote | | “It is sad, disappointing, and most especially divisive [that the School Strike 4 Climate’s Auckland chapter has disbanded in this way,]” Mary Moeono-Kolio, the Wellington coordinator of 350 Pacific, told the Guardian. “The climate movement needs everyone’s involvement and commitment.” |
|
It's not a long article. That's already a big chunk of what's there.
"A New Zealand chapter of Greta Thunberg-linked climate movement disbands itself for being ‘racist’ [sic]"
Michael E. Miller for the Washington Post; June 15, 2021.

One would think that some of our Left-leaning friends would begin to see the multiple contradictions, hypocrisy and lunacy in the actions of the movement they are supporting.
The rest of us can only hope they wake up from being woke.

NZ's soccer team is named the All Blacks and they do the tongue/eyeball thing before the game starts..
