Buttigieg's Record On Advocating For Blacks Questioned. Activists Call Him Anti-Black & Anti-Poor
Mayor Pete Buttigieg hasn’t really caught on in the African American community in his bid for the 2020 Presidential nomination.
His team did a poll that suggested that it was because of his sexual orientation, but that’s not necessarily the case. There are several things in his background that are questionable as it relates to African Americans.
A recent article in the Root revealed that when Pete Buttigieg took office in January 2012 after winning the city’s first open mayoral election in 24 years, South Bend had three African Americans in visible high level and public leadership positions: Mayor’s Assistant Lynn Coleman; Fire Chief Howard Buchanon and Police Chief Darryl Boykins. Within three months, all three would be gone.
During a visit to a homeless shelter in Watts, California, Buttigieg was greeted by a dozen Black Lives Matter protesters, many from his home town, who called him anti-black and anti-poor.
It’s time to dig a little deeper into Mayor Pete’s background.
