Why Mayor Pete and Black Voters; His 2020 Presidential Campaign is Already Finished

William Sullivan  "Pete Buttigieg has long had a problem with black voters. It's a problem that grew visible in his leadership as mayor of South Bend, Indiana over black-police conflict. In an effort to save his flailing presidential campaign, he has released his “Douglass Plan” to pander to the black electorate.  In this plan, he promises to reform credit scoring (currently consisting of five simple scoring metrics, none of which is the least bit racist), a “reduction in “racist policies” preventing some people from voting,” (like requiring a photo ID to vote, I guess?) and a “25% increase in government contracts with minority-owned businesses.”
. . . "True to my orientation’s claim, I’d estimate that this class was about 15 to 20 percent comprised of black students.  And no one was quicker to speak than those students on this particular subject.  Without fail, every single black student adamantly stated opposition to affirmative action policies in college admissions, and every single black student said that college admissions, just like everything else in life, should be earned by effort and merit.

"It was truly amazing.  In a semester of nothing but contentious discussion about various subjects, there was virtually no disagreement on this one topic." . . .

Why Liberals and Progressives Lie to Blacks

. . . "This dishonesty to black people practiced by Warren and the others -- fomenting anger toward the police -- makes the lives of African Americans worse, frequently endangering them and resulting in their deaths, as Heather Mac Donald details so well in her The War on Cops. I often wonder how many liberals have read this book. I imagine very few because it so undermines their virtue-signaling narrative with uncomfortable and overwhelming facts. For someone like Warren to fan the flames of cop-hatred is despicable and immoral, but not surprising for someone so willing to lie about her Indian ethnicity. If black lives truly did matter to her, she would never say such a thing.

"Just the other day, legendary power forward Charles Barkley put it this way in his usually pungent manner: "Democrats only talk to black people every four years." He could have added: "And when they do, they lie.' " . . .
