'Pete Has a Black Problem’: Top Black Leaders Say Buttigieg Is ‘Naive’ on Race

A few weeks ago, a prominent black leader posed what seemed like a simple question to South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg during a private meeting: Who in the African-American community back home supports you?

“He didn’t name anybody,” the leader said in an interview with The Daily Beast. “If he’s got young black supporters, they do have names.”

That leader, who requested anonymity to speak openly about a private meeting, was not only referring to young supporters but expressing a sentiment that was apparent in talks with several African-American lawmakers: that Buttigieg’s interactions with the black community in recent weeks were “naïve” and that the national perception of him as “genuine and authentic” was not always translating when it came to their concerns.

Alfred E. Neuman's high watermark was the moment he walked out on the stage for his town hall in South Bend where he was eviscerated by the African-American crowd. The guy is polling at 0% among African-Americans and nobody can be competitive in the Democratic with minimal support from Black voters

ButtiePlug also has a Pink Problem

[samtheman]

Solution.

Spend a few months in the right jail (Rykers would be good), and he’ll come out knowing what it feels to have black.

Petey is a one trick pony, so to speak.
Buns up and kneeling, going with the feeling.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

This cinches it. The Dem puppet masters don’t want him so they siced their trained and willing minions on him. He’s done.

The guy is polling at 0% among African-Americans

Then this is they guy the Dems should nominate. Imagine the black voting bloc NOT voting?!?!?!

[BenLurkin]

The Democrat Party does not want politicians who are “genuine and authentic” It wants politicians who kowtow and pander.

[Mr. K]

Black people LOVE gay white people, right?

[Kickass Conservative]

Maybe he should leave his Lily White Cracker Husband and go after Don Lemon.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I suspect, however, that in any contest against a Republican, the blacks will vote for him en masse.

[cuban leaf]

Don’t tell anybody but, compared to the white community, the black community is not very accepting of Homosexuality.

[bert]

Pete is queer..... that’s all

[mrsmith]

“Naive”: Isn’t promising enough money to ‘activists’...

[Little Ray]

Buttgig doesn’t have to worry about that until the General election.
And the Democrats are pretty sure they have enough ‘free stuff’ on the counter to bring in all the groups they need.

[TheTimeOfMan]

I have seen recent polls with Trump getting almost 30% black support. A large plurality of the black community is starting to #walkaway.

[The Toll]

The Black vote is not the important part. It’s the amount of voter fraud perpetrated in black precincts that matters.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I suspect, however, that in any contest against a Republican, the blacks will vote for him en masse.

True, because, for whatever reason, blacks tend to vote heavily Democrat.

However, black voter turnout could be lower for Buttgig(sp?), even if he still gets the usual 90+% of the black vote.

Why do blacks vote so strongly Democrat anyway? It wasn’t always that way.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Butt is also a down-low honkie mo’fo.

[Beagle8U]

Even Biden wouldn’t sniff Buttplug, and like Mikey, he sniffs everything.

[The Toll]

Watching northern crackers try to handle themselves around black folks is truly funny. They have tried to lectured me my whole life about how Southern people mistreat black people. What would YOU know about it morons, you’ve only ever met 2 in your whole life!!!
