Carole Simpson: Why Was I Not Invited to the Party?

Former ABC Anchor Carole Simpson is pissed that she wasn't invited to Barbara Walters on air goodbye.

Simpson took to Facebook to voice her displeasure and hints that ABC didn't invite her because she is an angry black woman.

Simpson writes on Facebook:

She didn't finish that thought, but I think most of us can guess what she was going to say.
