The skin color of Democrat presidential frontrunners moved to the forefront of discussion among left-of-center pundits after Democrat California Sen. Kamala Harris dropped out of the race Tuesday.
Harris’s announcement means the only candidates who have qualified for the next Democrat debate are white, a fact that caused chagrin among media figures and liberal activists.
“Obviously I’m no centrist but it’s downright effed up that smart, compelling, *very* experienced, centrist Democrat candidates of color are floundering while a smart but wildly inexperienced, centrist white mayor of teeny tiny city is surging,” liberal writer Sally Kohn wrote in a tweet. “Bad look, Democrats.”
Left-wing commentator Lauren Duca implied that Democrats have a racism problem, as evidenced by Harris’s failed campaign. “White supremacy is not just a Fox News problem, folks,” she charged.
“It’s really f__d up that straight white male billionaires (plural) are going to qualify for the next debate while Kamala Harris is leaving the race. Like, immensely,” wrote Adam Peck, a staffer at the left-wing Center for American Progress.

Right. So where's all the 'diversity' they keep harping about?
With almost all blacks being democrats, how is it they can't come up with one or two that can make it beyond a couple debates?
Maybe there should be affirmative action quotas.. a certain percentage of the candidates *must* be minorities, reflecting the percentages in the general population.
Isn't that what they insist on for you and me?
Why would anyone be surprised at the hypocrisy of the left? Fools for falling for it.
What's really f__ked up is that a non white was given a chance be in the white house, in charge of the greatest country in the world for 8 years and almost took it down. He ruined race relations, the job market, economy, the education system, health care, etc, etc. Four years of hillary, his protege, would have been the icing on the cake
As if there are no Democrats with the Democrat-approved skin tones in the House or Senate. Oh, that's right, they're too busy feathering their nests and trying for an impeachment.
It’s so racist to speak like this against whites and becoming normal
How about the best qualifications ?
Agree with 8:22 PM above...Affirmative Action enters the political arena. This is a sad day for America when someone is deemed qualified just because of the color of their skin. IMO this is a blatant affront to the African American community; should also mention there are many Caucasians who are not qualified either.
@1142 it's all good. It serves to awaken the white nationalist movement. Eventually these people won't feel safe doing so, much like they don't feel safe going to the projects using the N'er word. You can only oppress people for so long before the violent side comes out. Eternal tyranny is never a workable plan.
