Do you think that a race based magazine is in anyway leaning towards any political side? You betcha!! Talk about an insult to black women. :rolleyes:

Ebony magazine leaves all 6 Republicans out of profile of black candidates

Ebony Magazine profiled 18 black women running for Congress in early October but did not include any of the six black Republican women, including one sitting congresswoman, running.

Ebony suggested that their profile, which was published on October 11, was the definitive list of all of the black women running for Congress, titling the piece, “Meet the 18 Black Women Running for a Seat in Congress.” (https://www.ebony.com/news-views/meet-the-18-black-women-running-for-a-seat-in-congress)

“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.

The piece, however, does not mention any of the black Republican women running for Congress.

The following black Republican women are 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

Rep. Love is currently the only black Republican woman in Congress.

Meet the 18 Black Women Running for a Seat in Congress

Some are labeling the 2018 election cycle the “Year of the Woman” thanks to historic runs such as gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams in Georgia. On a smaller stage, but equally as powerful, the U.S. House of Representatives has 18 Black women on the ballot who seek to push America forward.

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.

(and then goes on to list the 18 entries - MINUS the 6 Republicans of course)

Wow, what jerks.

You would think they would be more supportive of "black women" running for office in general - more so than which side. But who knew!

It seems that race trumps everything except party.

Any wonder we are so polarized in this country?

When they(ffing dems) got in the piece of shit obama, the black race and its skin color weapon became a hydrogen bomb for the ffimg dems.
Now they unite that with being female and will sell their own children to retake power and destroy Trump.
Such is the ravenous and raging hatred of these vile, corrupt, arrogant, elitist and totally worthless creatures.-Tyr

This is really sad statement of current identity politics. The media want to label the GOP the white man party. Thankfully the WalkAway movement is in full swing now. I'd love to see what Candace Owens has to say about the Ebony artucle.
