The New York Times is trying to explain the almost total lack of black support for Peter Buttigieg without a mention of his homosexuality. The Times beclowns itself today with a long article titled, “Pete Buttigieg Is Struggling With Black Democrats. Here’s Why,” that doesn’t even mention widespread negative attitudes among African Americans toward homosexual behavior. The only mention of sexuality at all comes 40 paragraphs into a 41-paragraph story, when the article notes:
And Mark Barbee, the first black mayor of Bridgeport, Pa., is, like Mr. Buttigieg, an openly gay millennial mayor. He endorsed Mr. Buttigieg in September and said the 2020 campaign was too unpredictable to write off Mr. Buttigieg’s ability to win over black voters.
That’s it, the only reference to Buttigieg’s sexuality.
Buttigieg has made no secret at all of his sexual preference, even kissing Chasten, to whom he is legally married, at campaign events:
The rest of the article principally discusses Buttigieg’s record as mayor of South Bend and the problems with police relations with the black community, and other aspects of Buttigieg’s record on race, including his recent “Douglass Plan.”
This is willful blindness, based on an aversion to facing a fundamental fissure among the various identity groups to whom the Democrats pander. The concept of “intersectionality” was invented to paper over the very real conflicts among factions basing their claims on victimhood, attempting to unite them against their “oppressors.”
African-Americans occupy a unique status as victims owing to the history of slavery and its aftermath. For sanctimonious outlets like the Times, criticizing blacks as a group for negative characteristics that are more predominant than among other groups is unthinkable.

It’s not just African Americans.
“Dont forget the hispanics.”
Don’t forget a bunch of whites either.
“Publicly many Americans say they support gay people”
I want gays to have decent lives but I don’t want one as my president.
“Dont forget a bunch of whites either.”
The Democrat party already forgot them!
Powder Puff Pete for all their recent fawning on him is a non starter...
No Democrat has won the D primary without winning the black primary voters.... and they can talk up his polling in NH an IA all they like... Biden is 30 points up in SC... Doesn’t matter where Powder Puff Pete finishes in the mainly white bread states, he’ll slam into a brick wall once he gets to the states with large minority populations...
They can deny it all they like, but the AA block is NOT going to show up for Adam and Steve...
Hmmm if he is the Democrat and we still have secret ballots the left may discover that not everyone in America support homosexuals.
2020 could be a referendum on homosexuals.
They voted for a gay Black man.
RE: They voted for a gay Black man
If true, unlike Pete, he NEVER outwardly identified as one so that doesn’t count.
The best we can hope for is that Peter Butt causes some folks to stay home in Philly and Detroit.
What did you find there?
If Buttplug keeps saying he knows how African-Americans feel, he won’t get any of their votes.
I’m hoping some moron picks Buttplug for VP, so I can enjoy Pence destroying Buttplug.
AA? Alcoholics Anonymous?

Well, World War II saved the world from a horror - so therefore we must ALL support EVERY WAR, right?
Same logic. Glad you overheard the conversation frank ballenger....
(Besides it was Democrats who ran the Jim Crow South, filled the KKK, and almost defeated the 60’s Civil Rights legislation. AND it was Republicans who freed the slaves, fought the civil war AND passed ALL early civil rights legislation... Democrats did urban renewal - which destroyed the black community... Democrats invented massive welfare programs that removed black fathers from the home. Democrats replaced natural strong and dignified black leaders with poverty pimps in the 60’s.... etc etc etc.)
Swapping feces isn’t high on the order of anybody.
Singling out blacks is racist.
I heard once that Buttboy’s birth name was Paul Montgomery. Why would he change a perfectly normal name like that? I don’t know how to pronounce the name he is using now; it looks too much like a bad joke.
Re: Dems ruining black life but expecting vote every election...
You said it so well. You should write the op-ed essays instead of the columnists they have. Well written.
Thanks frank...
