A coalition of women’s groups is attacking CNN for failing to select a single woman of color to moderate the Democratic debates.

“We have the most diverse pool of presidential candidates in our country’s history including the third black woman to seek the Democratic nomination, yet the debate stage has left out an important voice at the moderator’s table,” said Glynda C. Carr, president of Higher Heights for America, an organization dedicated to putting black women in positions of political power.

California Sen. Kamala Harris follows black woman predecessors Shirley Chisholm — who was the first woman of color to vie for the Democratic nomination in 1972 — and Carol Moseley Braun.

“...women of color debate moderators...”?

What? And steal viewers from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”?

Because, that’s exactly what it will turn into...and it doesn’t have far to go with THOSE candidates. :)

Don’t worry next week it will be another virtuous term for black.

“Activists” used to be called “Agitators”
