Pete Buttigieg coming to Rev. Barber’s church as Democrats compete for black voters
The News & Observer ^ | 11/26/2019 | Dawn Baumgartner Vaughan

Black voters are a major Democratic voting bloc, and a few months before the presidential primaries, candidates are courting the African-American community.

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg will visit North Carolina on Dec. 1 and attend the church led by the Rev. William Barber II, former state NAACP president and founder of Moral Mondays.

In South Carolina, one of the first states to vote and one where Buttigieg hasn’t been polling well among black voters, the candidate spoke in October at a Rock Hill church.

It’s a good strategy, as long as it’s not his campaign’s only outreach to African Americans, theologian J. Kameron Carter said.

“I still think the general black church is still probably the place to go to find a concentrated presence of black people, and concentrated presence of black people who are reliable to show up at the polls, so it’s wise to do that. But you need to go beyond. The black church is not the only place to find people,” Carter said. He noted that younger African Americans are more ambivalent about church.

“How is Buttigieg going to appeal to the Black Lives Matter generation of voters?” Carter asked.

And how will he explain his perverted lifestyle? Will they ignore it?

Wonder if he'll go to a mosque next? ...and if they invite him to a roof tour?

Rev. Barber was one of the biggest backers of the phony Duke lacrosse prosecution and supporters of DA Nifong.

One thing is sure: hokum and knaves appealing to virtues they otherwise abhor never really goes out of style with Left wing politicians.

Barber will do anything to get his face on the news and newspaper. He is a publicity whore.

giggety?

The other day whilst flipping channels I cam across a Family Guy episode where some gizmo was swapping minds and bodies. The pilot character got swapped with his poor hamster who proceeded to take some revenge as the now-a-hamster pleaded that he was turning something beautiful into something disgusting.
