"This midterm election is one to watch with all 435 seats in the U.S. House up for grabs. Meet the 18 black women vying for a congressional seat,” Ebony writer Sarafina Wright said....."


Actually, according to traditional math methods, there's 24.

The following black women are also running for Congress:

Congresswoman Mia Love is running for reelection in Utah’s 4th Congressional District
Aja Smith is running for California’s 41st Congressional District
Virginia Fuller is running for Florida’s 5th Congressional District
Liz Matory is running for Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District
Jineea Butler is running for New York’s 13th Congressional District
Charlotte Bergmann is running for Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District.

How did they get left out?

Don't be silly. Black Republicans are not real blacks, according to Democrats. You do not leave the Democrat plantation without consequences - it's always been that way and don't you dare try to tell Democrats what to do with their blacks.

Maybe because they don't have a D which makes all these strong black women traitors.

I know you're being sarcastic, yet sadly it's true in their twisted minds.

They may look the same but if they don't believe the same leftist crap they get a bad rap or ignored.

That would be okay had the title not been: “Meet the 18 Black Women Running for a Seat in Congress”

The word “the” implies the other six don’t exist. Always nice to know if you don’t fall into the proper group think there are people who think you can no longer claim your race.

And? That's their prerogative, it's their magazine. I'm not going to dig through the NRA lit, but I guarantee that they've put out endorsements that make it seem like their endorsed candidates are the only ones supporting gun rights.

They are factually incorrect. This wasn’t put out as an endorsement.
