Because of white privilege, or something.

Via Mediaite:

A pair of liberal activists in Colorado have created a Super PAC intended to pressure white males not to run for political office.

“Can You Not PAC is a political action project that aims to dis/empower and dis/incline people in positions of privilege, specifically straight white men, from ambitions of running for office in progressive urban districts,” its website reads. “We challenge brogressives and others to reject any notion that they are uniquely qualified or positioned to seek political office in districts that don’t need them.”

In an interview with MSNBC, the two white millennials behind the PAC say it initially began as a joke. But they became deadly serious after raising $2,000 in the first 24 hours.

“Our advisory board of progressive women, LGBTQ folks, and people of color are researching and reviewing all of the potential endorsements and will make final decisions on those candidates by June 2016,” the site reads. “We are raising money with the intent of defeating mediocre white dudes and elevating some of the best underrepresented candidates of 2016.”
