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.

I hope they preach the Gospel; but I sincerely doubt it.

“Giggety” is the catchword of a particularly depraved character named Glen Quagmire.

How twisted that the defense of gravely immoral abortion is thought by some to be “Moral”. When Alabama passed a Pro-Life bill earlier in the year
a homosexual TV personality said there’s a cold place in “Hell” for the Alabama legislature.

I think it’s Isaiah 5:20 that says “Woe to you who call evil good and good evil. Woe to you who take darkness for light and light for darkness.”

Mayor Pete Buttijuice is exactly the eunuch cucks the elites want like Obama and Frenchie Macron.

Eunuch managers of empire were preferred by the imperial classes right up until the early 20th century in imperial China. The downside is eunuch managers of empire is a sign of imperial decline.
