Stop Blaming Black Homophobia for Buttigieg’s Problems! (barf alert)
New York Times ^ | November 6, 2019 | Charles M. Blow

Posted on 11/06/2019 7:50:35 PM PST by karpov

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.

It is a political movement, opposition to it taking over society (and the gay mafia is seizing majority control for such a tiny minority).

The whole mess contains textbook examples of soft racism, which is a skill entirely owned by the Left.

He doth protest too much. This is the same argument in reverse, when the left says the GOP are a bunch of racists, sexists, xenophobes etc.

Of course, in the USA there are racists, homophobes, sexists and all kinds. But America is not a racist country, not a homophobic country, not a country that hates foreigners.

Some in the Black community won’t vote for a gay man. Some whites, some hispanics maybe even some gays too! That is not the point, nor the only reason for his lack of support. He’s done a crap job as mayor and the Black community of South Bend have disdain for his governance. Period. Same reason most on the ‘right’ have disdain for leftist bastions. Not because of skin, race, origin, sex but because they have crap policies.

I dunno.

From what I’ve read on this page, he’s slamming liberal whites for being fake. And also for treating blacks like they can’t feed themselves with a spoon.

And he says they see religion as keeping them in the dark and that’s wrong.

I’m sure he doesn’t like us but seems like everything he is saying is true.

Isn’t that what all of us say here all the time?

Hate to sound bigoted here but the majority of middle to lower class blacks just aren’t ever going to vote for a rich white faggot. The two groups have absolutely nothing in common but contempt for each other.

Oh OK, so it's just total co-incidence that Buttgig and Tom Steyer are both polling at a whopping 0% among Blacks.

Fudgepackin Pete’s problems were brought on by Pete. He is what he is and he can try to change the problems but Mother Nature won’t buy it.

The fundamental reality is that Buttplug is a faggot and he offends both blacks and whites who have any level of common sense and moral standard. Neither blacks nor whites have homophobia. We have homo-nausea...Buttplug’s sexual behavior makes normal people sick.
