‘He’s white, male and gay’: Buttigieg hits obstacles with black voters
Politico ^ | May 15, 2019 | Daniel Strauss and Elena Schneider

Posted on 05/15/2019 8:17:45 AM PDT by C19fan

Joe Darby, a prominent pastor in Charleston, S.C., was discussing the Democratic presidential field with fellow clergymen when Pete Buttigieg’s name came up. A fellow pastor quickly interjected.

“Isn’t that the dude who kissed his husband on TV?” the person asked skeptically, according to Darby.

The exchange highlights a major obstacle for Buttigieg, who’s vaulted into the top tier of Democratic candidates without gaining traction among African Americans, according to recent surveys of national and South Carolina Democrats. But as the mayor of South Bend, Ind., devotes more effort to campaigning for black votes in the South and elsewhere, he will have to break down some resistance over his sexual orientation, particularly among older voters, according to interviews with more than a dozen African American activists, political strategists and clergy, as well as a review of public polling.

Can't help but notice that article never uses the word "homophobia". But since the article is talking about African-Americans can't use that epithet. In a recent poll, Alfred E. Neuman polled 0% among Democratic African-American in SC.

None of those three bother me.

The fact that he’s dumber than a rock and has the empty talent and accomplishment list of Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy does bother me.

So what is their pleasure? A black female lesbian who is equally dumb as a brick as the gay, white male?

Butto won’t be their nominee, but if he were, it’d be lights out. Trump would win in a landslide. He might not win the black vote, but their turnout would be so depressed he may just as well have.

African Americans? aren’t they the people who have never been to Africa and refuse to assimilate to America?

Well, Bill Clinton is white and male, but blacks voted for him in huge numbers. Must be the other thing.

There is NO chance this Sodomite wins. NONE. I have learned from my 20-30 year old kids that “everyone knows what can be said, and not said” concerning all matter’s Gay.
Below the surface it is still viewed very unfavorably. The MSM, Hollywood, and Academia project their pro-Gay approval/sentiments at levels that simply aren’t supported by a very large percentage of America.

BUTTBoy will not win nomination and will never be elected President.

Still, I’d trust a heterosexual groper over a married queer any day.

Well, he wore sunglasses while playing a saxophone and admitted to smoking pot. So he got a pass.

This is funny.

And Hispanics? They won’t support a fag also. They are very traditional when it comes to family values.

I know a couple “African americans” one is from Libya, the other from Tunisia, both are not black.

One is into the knife intifada, the other one loves America.

Black culture is a LOT less accepting of homosexuality than the white liberal culture. They are the useful idiots of the left, but only up to a point.
