Why Are There No Black US Senators?
Yes, an African American is serving as commander in chief. But looking for a black U.S. senator? Good luck with that.
As CNN reports, the lack of diversity in the Senate is growing more alarming by the day. Out of 100 senators, two are Latino and two are of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry, but none are African American. Earlier this week C. Anthony Muse, an African American whom many pundits believed had the best opportunity for a Senate candidacy, lost his primary race in Maryland. According to CNN, there's only one other black person on a Senate ballot across the U.S. -- a Florida candidate who is not expected to come out of the pack.
