Reducing Pete Buttigieg’s struggle to attract black support solely to black homophobia is not only erroneous, it is a disgusting, racist trope, secretly nursed and insidiously whispered by white liberals with contempt for the very black people they court and need.
I have never been blind to this — the people who see black religiosity as an indicator of primitive thinking and lack of enlightenment.
(For the record, I am bisexual and not a religious man.)
They are those who see black people as a blight on our big cities, pathologically prone to violence and in need of pity and crumbs they cast about and call philanthropy.
They see these black voters as needing to be led, directed and better informed rather than as sophisticated voters fully capable of making informed decisions that they believe are best for their lives and communities.
These people blame black voters when their candidate or their cause fails, even though black voters are the most consistently loyal Democrats in this country.
It is tiresome and disappointing to constantly have to defend yourself not only from people who are openly hostile to you, but also from those who feign friendship but are secretly hostile to you.

Oh, that’ll go over big. I hope Trump points out that Buttigiggety blames the darkie for being homophobic. After all, as he pointed out, being black is the exactly same struggle as the problems faced by those who do it up the wazzoo.
Cannot imagine anything more insulting
Such a hypocrite
I have respect for blacks who see through Buttplug’s phony pandering, his militant gay BS, and his false/self-serving interpretations of the Bible.
Buttplug is a phony, sanctimonious little @sshole, and he is a FAILED mayor of a failing city which is 40 percent black.
We should help ButtBoi get the nomination.
He needs a name change, or he will continue to be the butt of jokes.
The Black vote will be the story of 2020. Dems are bleeding 10 to 15 percent.
“Homophobia” is a manufactured word to set the standard for anything negative about homosexuals. False premise, what really needs to be addressed is why is homosexuality moral, and why has it been “normalized” as such. Don’t allow the rabid left to formalize the dialogue. Christians and all else fall for this ruse. Is homosexuality moral? Answer that first.
It’s not black homophobia, it’s black common sense.
What is causing this WOKE stupidity at The New York Times ?
Is it sewer gas from D’Blassio’s leaking toilet city, that’s permeating the whole NYT building ?
To be this stupid, there has to be an external source.
Never addressed that. Did you read my post?
Is this guy playing the race card or the gay card?
“...people who see black religiosity as an indicator of primitive thinking and lack of enlightenment.”
I see it 100% opposite. Black religiosity is an indicator of smart, worshipful, and faithful people which is usually a strong indicator of good families.
His above sentence is ignorant and arrogant to the extreme.
Actually, I see 350 murders per year in Baltimore as evidence of these folks being primitive and unenlightened.
“We should help ButtBoi get the nomination.”
If he’s still running for the IL primary I’m crossing over to vote for him.

That screed in the NY Times could at best be defined as amusing logic. I prefer to define it as “logic of desperation devoid of logic.”
I am most amused.
antichristian homofascists. ‘religiousity’
Balderdash
