Yes, in effect, it was, because it was about profiling people based on their race. And the mayor even said that they disproportionately stopped white people too often and minorities too little, and I'm not here to score points. I come at this with a great deal of humility, because we have had a lot of issues, especially when it comes to racial justice and policing in my own community. And I come to this with some humility because I'm conscious of the fact that there’s seven white people on this stage talking about racial justice.

Bzzzztttttttt! Tone deaf much. You guys forced the POC off the stage when you could have bowed out allowing them to move forward. Why yes Virginia, those are idiots up on the stage.

It’s OK for Buttigieg because he’s gay, the others not so much.

Although Warren 1% Native American counts for something.

The answer is simple. Stop talking about “racial justice.”

If he thinks this will somehow win him a single black vote, he’s delusional.

Actually, Mare Pete could have been talking about most network news panels - they do a lot of crying about racism and still show all-white panels.

Ah, hear the words “race, social justice, LGBT, phobia, (and all variations), et al” and we know the speaker has absolutely, positively no argument.

None.

Conclusion: little boy mayor is peeing into the wind.

I suspect there’s a black adult in South Bend more qualified to be its mayor than Pete.

How is ‘racial justice’ different from justice?

He really said, “there’s seven” instead of “there are seven”?

RE:”Talking? It’s PANDERING”

You are saying they are not sincere?

How can you tell?

Forcing the likes of Cory Booker off the stage wasn’t really a bad thing. Was he worth keeping because he wasn’t white? Or even Andrew Yang?

Underlying message not spoken to “They are Children” and need us to take care of them...

Not join the mainstream and compete

Many like poverty pimps use this as the message to keep them on the Plantation, waiting for some kind of Monetary punishment to all of us guilty White Folk to pay for bringing them here. I would wager if you offered them a one time payment and a one way ticket back to the homeland few if any would take you up on the offer

The Dems are all about creating “Victim status” in the population to whom they will be the Avenger who squeezes money from to pay for their “wounds”
