South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg held a self-described grassroots campaign rally in Bronzeville on Tuesday night, but the overwhelmingly white audience he drew to the event in a historic black neighborhood reinforced the difficulty the Democratic presidential hopeful has had in connecting with African American voters.

Buttigieg did not acknowledge the makeup of the audience in his remarks or in answering questions from the 1,000 people at the sold-out event, but did touch on it briefly as he closed the hourlong rally with a plea for his supporters.

LOL!!!!! He goes into the hood and the natives flee as if he is a plague carrier. Perhaps the largest non-sports gathering of whitey in the South Side in recent history.

Blacks and Mexican folks WILL NEVER turn out and vote for a gay white man, NEVER.
That the media & democrats think he could be elected shows how far they are from reality.
Think I’ll send him a donation...

He will never be elected.

American people still do not accept gay lifestyle as much as the popular media portray. Approval is actually dropping as gays are more open out in public and people see them as they really are.

Tolerance is not the same as acceptance.

Haha...hoist with his own petard (Hamlet), This is awkward. White Democrat pols have beat the drum of identity politics for decades, and their People of Color base has finally noticed that they are overwhelmingly White. In the immortal words of “Kingfish” Stevenson, “What a revoltin’ development this is!”

I guess he has cornered the Dem. Gay vote. For some reason, I don’t think that will be enough to get him the nomination.

If the Dummyrats are stupid enough to nominate him Trump will win 49 states and over 70% of the popular vote

Will we ever see an article decrying an overwhelmingly black crowd?

Did the author even consider that maybe the local blacks might be racist for avoiding an event for a white candidate?
