there needs to be more women of color and people of color in general

also women do not hold the magic bullet to governance after all look at some of the GOP women Sarah Sanders, Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, just name a few

better to have woman ( regardless if all the women are white or not) point of view, who are most likely married to wealthy white males, influence the country than men of color not a combination of women and all people of color?
