White supremacy could be issue that 'ends this country,' [Buttigieg] says [ed]
ABC News ^ | July 21, 2019 | Staff

Posted on 07/21/2019 4:31:35 AM PDT by C19fan

All of the Democratic presidential candidates have condemned Donald Trump's racist comments directed at four congresswomen last week, and the chants of "send her back" directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar at a rally a day later, but Pete Buttigieg took it a step further on Saturday.

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, was stumping in Iowa over the weekend, where he told ABC News that the issue of white supremacy -- an accusation often lobbed at Trump by the left -- "could be the lurking issue that ends this country."

The mayor said the current climate could escalate, going as far as to mention the Civil War.

"That is the only issue that almost ended this country. … We’ve had a lot challenges in this country, but the one that actually almost ended this country in the Civil War was white supremacy," Buttigieg said. "It could be the lurking issue that ends this country in the future, if we don’t wrangle it down in our time."

He knows as little about current events as he does about history. He’s too busy getting buggered.

There are few things more dishonest that a homosexual male trying to convince himself and others that his abhorrent behavior is normal.

Democrats have never done anything FOR blacks, only TO them. It is ingrained in Democrats DNA. Oppress, oppress, oppress.

BTW! Pete, destroy America and replace it with what - a Communist dictatorship? Try it, please. Try, it.

Powder Puff Pete is smarter again by half than most of the rest of the D clown car... there is now doubt in my mind about that.. but clearly he’s not ready for prime time... he bought into his own press and now that that 25 minute flash of fame is over he’s showing complete desperation by pandering more and more and just saying outrageous things to get attention.

Saw an bedraggled white man sleeping on a park bench.

That's just the secret identity of the new superhero known as [dah dah-dah dah!] ... WHITEMAN!

Faster than a welfare hustler. More powerful than the biased media. Able to leap historical sins in a single bound. Look! Out in the suburbs! It's a bird! It's a supremacist. No, it's ... WHITEMAN!

The hubris and hypocrisy of this idiot who lectures people on “white surpremacy” and “white privilege” while, as mayor, sacked most of the black police officers on his force and avoids any and all instances of violence on the black population in his city and THEN has the audacity to say he supports Black Lives Matter.

This guy is the very model of white privilege and everything he claims to hate as he steps over black bodies in his quest for power.

Uh ... the KKK already failed at that a long time ago. How on earth does he think it’ll be accomplished today?!

“The Left created this Frankenstein.”

Exactly! 40 years of guys like Buttigieg telling white men to bend over and take it up the butt in order to create “opportunity” to those who often won’t accept OPPORTUNITY, combined with an big increase on the same butt guys telling minorities they DESERVE the same results without the same work, have inflamed tensions.

I can’t recall ever caring about someone’s skin color, but I’m awfully tired of hearing how evil I am because of mine!

Yes, but the problem is that the leftists have redefined ‘white supremacy’ so now it includes you and me. Or actually anybody who thinks like we do. You don’t have to be White to be a White Supremacist. I’m thinking Candace Owens here.

They also seek to throw one 150 years of progress toward racial harmony out the window.

Open borders is the issue that will end this country.

Bush League Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty want to help the Democrats with amnesty.

White supremacy is a leftist construct folks!
They are using white supremacy to shutdown any disagreement with the Socialist agenda.

The media is mostly responsible for the great division in this country

For 50 years the media has refused to blame any group for anything no matter how egregious unless they are white males Christians or heterosexuals

Even with homosexuals being the vector for HIV and AIDS you never hear anything about that even though probably 100 million people have been infected by HIV Mostly through homosexuality

And where is the outrage over black crime and black racism you never hear about that
