Activists slam CNN for skimping on women of color debate moderators

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.

I agree with the activists.

They shoulda' had Candace Owens, Michelle Malkin, and Diamond and Silk moderating.

Kamala Harris PAC posing as issue activists (there’s literally a PAC with the same name run by the same woman that boasts Harris in the Senate as its top achievement). NYPost should know better.

Is just me or is anybody else sick and tired of hearing the terms “women of color” / “people of color”?

[dougherty]

Diamond and Silk as moderators would have been awesome.

What color was missing? Did not even know it was happening.

No taupe, not turquoise, no mauve, no aqua?

Forgive mispells, what do I know about colors.

Diamond and Silk as moderators would have been awesome.

They'd of all made the bowl of stupid.

Pretty sure its not just you.

Not anymore. I LOVE IT!!

It’s DESTROYING them among independents, who are sick of NONSENSE and care about real issues.

Hopefully it’s getting some black folks mad too.

Hillary only got 78 percent of black men last time. For a dem that’s NOTHING.

The black women still voted like complete idiots at 96 percent.

When the term, “women of color” enters the national psyche and becomes the state media and pop / political culture buzzword, your country is officially gayer than shit

What about Don Lemon? Doesn’t she qualify?

What about Don Lemon? Doesn’t she qualify?

Yea,what is she, chopped liver of color?

No Orange.

Orange is apparently not a color anymore.

NYT tweeted this: “New York Times journalists follow leads,

cultivate sources,

and tirelessly check every detail in their reporting.”

Boy, it takes some nerve.

What color was missing?

I'm every color, therefore I'm a man of white.(white man is verboten

#4: "Is just me or is anybody else sick and tired of hearing the terms “women of color” / “people of color”?"

Well, "colored women" and "colored people" are both shorter and to the point.

It not a word about the all white candidates in the debate?

[al_c]

But not a word about the all white candidates in the debate?

[tflabo]

Yes but no orange colored women allowed. They may be too sympathetic towards the Orange man. Lol.

[tflabo]

Next they will be moaning for women of transcolorization. 🤪
