Breitbart:
Mayor Pete Buttigieg held a grassroots event on Tuesday for supporters in the historically black neighborhood of Bronzeville in Chicago, but drew very few black supporters, according to local press reports.
“[T]he overwhelmingly white audience he drew to the event in a historic black neighborhood reinforced the difficulty the Democratic presidential hopeful has had in connecting with African American voters,” the Chicago Tribune wrote about the event.
Buttigieg hinted at the demographics of the room during his speech, urging his supporters to reach out to people who were different.
“Find the people who don’t look like most of you in this room and let them know they have the chance, not just to support this campaign, but to shape it,” he said.
One resident interviewed by the Tribune suggested Buttigieg get more black staff to help him out. read more here
Gay and stupid is no way to go thru life, son…
Maybe Pete didn’t know that blacks dont REALLY like a certain group very much … because you’re not supposed to talk about it
Here a hint, Pete. Jussie Smollet isn’t really representative of blacks, except on TV
proof of Blexit?
Hard question for Pete. Seeing as how you claim to be a patriotic veteran who served in Military Intelligence, how can you possibly be in the same party as Hillary Clinton
If you served in MI, you know beyond any shadow of a doubt that negligently handling SECRET documents is a felony. if you had done what Hillary did with just ONE secret document, you would have been drummed out of service. You know that as an absolute fact, dont you, you corrupt little twink
Blacks know better!
“Historically black neighborhood” and a bunch of white people showed up? Must be some gay gentrification going on in Bronzeville. That’s not going to help you with the black vote, Peto.
Blacks weren’t fond of Tinky Winky, either.
I did a lot of advocacy work for people with disabilities before I had kids and as such was in close contact with “neighborhood advocates,” “racial advocates,” “business community advocates” etc
Here is the dirty little secret: Black and Hispanic and to a degree some South Pacific Island Leaders never advance beyond their own neighborhood unless they are in lock-step with the progressive/Democrat agenda. Of those you see represented on television presented as “leaders,” most DID NOT arise organically from within the communities they purport to represent. The way it works is that the powers that be work with the FAKE media and they decide who gets access to the microphone when things are being reported.
Usually those who are shut out still can deliver a crowd, and go along to get along. If this is all they can muster for a Buttigieg event… it’s over. It’s been over for a while.
If he has any sense he knows he needs to get out before he does more damage to his brand.
I used to have people who had nothing to do with what we had been working to correct try and muscle in and claim victory for some shitbag politician they were trying to cozy up to when the news crews were coming to report on something. We shut them down cold and told them to get lost. The politicians that usually are trying to pull this crap are almost without exception the very ones who caused the problems
There’s an angle here that I think shouldn’t be overlooked, one that our side needs to work into the discussion. This type of “Intersectionality” could result in a glorious pileup on the Left –
American Blacks did not take kindly to the Homosexual Movement piggybacking and equating itself to the Black Civil Rights struggle, and rightly so. Blacks simply aren’t going to show up and vote for an open queer.
It didn’t help that his hearing impaired translator was a Fred Sanford look alike that only did the wavy hand fruitus amongus gesture.
Bronzeville? C’mon now. Is that in the same vicinity as Jheri Curl Township?
Bootyjudge getting more black staff will make his husband jealous.
But seriously, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white when everything that comes out is brown.
I heard Bootyplug uses Afro-Sheen for lubricant. He thinks it gives him street cred among blacks.
The white audience had brown peckers.
