The photo of a black woman smiling at a young black boy had been splashed for weeks across a web page detailing South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigiegs plan to combat racial inequality, which he billed as a comprehensive investment in the empowerment of black America.
But when the woman in the photo learned her likeness was displayed on the Democratic presidential candidates campaign website, she was confused, the Intercepts Ryan Grim reported Sunday. The woman isnt African American and shes never heard of the Douglass Plan she is from Kenya, where the picture was originally taken.
[W]hats the meaning of the message accompanied by the photo? the woman asked Grim. Have no idea of whats happening...
The photo mix-up is just the latest controversy to erupt around the Douglass Plan since it was rolled out in July as part of Buttigiegs effort to make inroads with black voters. While recent polling has shown Buttigieg surging toward the front of the crowded Democratic presidential field in Iowa, the candidate has struggled to draw support from African Americans.

Has anybody asked all the Media Networks including Fox why they fail to mention the Elephant in the Room regarding Mayor Pete’s campaign? Namely that he is Gay and married to a man. Does anybody think the American Electorate is ready to elect a Gay Man married to another Man as President? Give me a break! At any rate, it is obvious that the Media is afraid to bring the subject up for fear of being accused of Homophobia. This is a case of the media avoiding the “Blinding Flash of the Obvious”. They are hoping he will just fade away, so they won’t have to confront the issue. I call it Journalistic Cowardice.
Liberals are liars. Pete is a liberal. Untrustworthy.
Do I even have to say “what if Trump had pulled such a stunt?”
I hope so LOL
Cultural appropriation?! 'Peach Fortyfive!
That is definitely a man who has the post coital look of a goat f*cker.
He’s in his “I ain’t a muzzie” outfit.
LOL. I don't think that's where his finger is.........
Kenyan workers’ paradise photo....
1) Why would Obama’s mom leave that place to try to establish hasty birth document in Hawaii? It’s got it all.
2) Bars on window on left. Wouldn’t want valuables taken by thieves. And the total transparency of the budget sign-—you don’t see that in our tax lawyer laden country. Honesty.
3) They probably burn garbage outside and send black smoke upward. Same with open fire cooking smoke. I take it back about the carbon footprint.
4) Funny if 99% of citizens own 80 inch 4D curved screen TV sets, latest smart phones and $3,000 laptops. As in the large 5 bedroom $4,000 brick houses up and down Detroit central district streets.
Competing for biggest 'victim-hood' prize is creepy...
Maybe so, but in this country, the blacks win.
They don’t really win - white liberal elites use them as weapons against traditional Americans. It’s not a pretty spot to be put in...
