Buttigieg Campaign Used Stock Photo of Kenyan Woman to Illustrate Plan for Black America
New York Times ^ | November 18, 2019 | Stephanie Saul

Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign, struggling to build support among black voters, removed from its website a photo of a Kenyan woman that was used earlier this year to illustrate his plan to dismantle racism in the United States.

The plan includes health care, education and voting-rights reforms as well as proposals to address discrimination in policing and criminal justice.

Mr. Buttigieg has failed to gain traction among black voters — a critical constituency in the path to the Democratic nomination — even as polls show he is building support in largely white Iowa. A poll of likely Democratic primary voters in South Carolina, released Monday by Quinnipiac University, found that Mr. Buttigieg had the support of less than 1 percent of black voters.

His plan is to send all the blacks to Kenya? Not sure that will play well.

Speaking of plans, did anyone hear Eric Swallwell’s last night? Probably the most intelligent thing I have ever heard come from that guy.

The picture isn’t the problem. Stock photos are there so they can be rented and used. The problem is what he plans to do to “dismantle racism.”

Obviously he wants to give non-Whites free healthcare and college. Look at his words. He wants to give non-Whites a free pass to commit crime.

Sorry, butterbut, but that is not the way to improve the lives of non-Whites. You do it by creating an even playing field, insisting that all play fair, and letting losers lose and winners win. You stop encouraging non-Whites to blame their self-inflicted pathologies on Whites.

There is zero chance you will do any of that.

Probably it was all that hot air that Schiff pumped into Swalwell.

These guys are all morons.

The staffers they hire are even bigger morons.

When Anthony Weiner was running for Mayor of New York he used a stock photo of downtown Pittsburgh in one of his graphics. DOH!

his plan to dismantle racism in the United States

Step 1) Identify all the people by their race
Step 2) Give lots of prizes to the people who belong to the good race
Step 3) Punish and tax the people who belong to the bad race.
Step 4) Everyone lives in peace and harmony forever.

Buttplug has a 0% rating among black Democrats in South Carolina, one of the early primary states. He’s ahead in Iowa because white Regressive Socialists in that state are wetting themselves over the thought of two homosexuals having anal sex in the White House.

Likely a low-level task given to an intern or volunteer that just got it out of he way as fast as they could.

Blacks aren’t going for a poofter in the primary. They don’t want a President on the down low. Now against President Trump or in the VP slot? Who knows. Black women are a lost cause but the men are unpredictable in that circumstance.

From buttplug’s perspective that is possible.

That was the day the Tootsie’s had their annual machete sharpening festival. He was off hacking with the boys.

Racism will quickly diminish when the BEHAVIOR of certain folks improves to the point of civility and friendliness.
