The mainstream media has done its best to paper over Pete Buttigieg’s problems with attracting black support. They hate to admit that there could ever be conflict among members of “intersectional” grievance groups. Blacks, in particular, are to be shielded from any criticisms of collective behavior, which must always be supported, or at least “understood” in “context.”
But African-Americans have more negative attitudes toward homosexual behavior than other major demographic segments of the population, based at least in part on attendance at churches that have played a major role in the civil rights revolutions of the past 60 years, and are therefore somewhat sanctified and immune from criticism. So, we see almost nothing in the media addressing black opposition to Buttigieg based on his sexual practices.
The Buttigieg campaign, which is all about appearing, warm, fuzzy, and safe, is not about denounce “homophobia” among blacks. Instead, it tried to use endorsements from leading black figures in South Carolina for Buttigieg’s “Douglass Plan,” a scheme to address problems facing blacks. Unfortunately, the campaign used a trick that has blown up in its face and is alienating blacks in South Carolina and elsewhere. Ryan Grim of The Intercept checked out the endorsements and found out the endorsees claimed had not heard of their endorsements. Chrissy Clark explains at The Federalist:
On October 24, Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg released an op-ed claiming more than 400 South Carolinians have endorsed his “Douglass Plan for Black America.” It turns out that the three black politicians listed at the top of his press release never endorsed the plan and 40 percent of the endorsement names listed are of white people.

But The Intercept found none of these politicians endorsed Buttigieg or his plan, which includes financial reparations for slavery more than a century after the fact and decriminalizing drugs.
It’s time for Democrats to get behind Buttigieg!
Ahem.
Plus he used stock photos from Kenya. Jeeze. Way to step in it big time, Pete!
I suspect more than among blacks too. Calling homosexuality OK in the abstract is one thing....the idea of a President representing the whole country kissing his “husband” is another....
For the most part Blacks toe the Democrat line on almost every issue except on LGBT issues. Simply put, the majority of Blacks in this country don’t support homosexuality!
The Democrats also have a problem with Black males voting for a women president.
I guess he couldn’t get a real Kenyan (Obama) to endorse him.
maybe Biden will pick him as VP.
Homo/Pedo 2020
three black politicians listed at the top of his press release never endorsed the plan and..and..
AND 40 percent of the endorsement names listed are of white people
Uh Oh! (Unless of course they are Civil Rights Activists like Rachel Dolezal)
Hopefully the kiss after his nomination speech ends his chances....Also, they better press him on reparations at the debate (they won’t). Get him on record in a big forum. It’s what has hurt Harris
JUST THINK, FUDGEPACKIN PETE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY HAS A PAIR OF BALLS AND A BEARD. THE FIRST LADY WILL BE VERY POPULAR IF THE FUDGEPACKER HAS A PARTY FOR HOMOS ONLY.
WHO’S ON TOP.
Like all democrats, he just wants votes and contributions from Blacks. After he promises them to take money from Whitey and allow them to continue their self-defeating behavior, he will abandon them until the next election, where he will start the same lying cycle all over again.
Let us see how many of the “objective” mass media “fact checkers” figure out what a pathetic liar Butt man is.
At one time, “his husband” was a grammatical error. Kinda hard to vote for someone who thinks it’s a good reason to be elected president.
Time to send Pervo Pete “packing”.
Both may have been tight ends years ago but now are just wide receivers.
It depends upon the day of the week.
