Sure. How does that have any relevance to Pete Buttigieg.

Are you actually a lawyer lmao

community. I'm sure there's some homophobia but maybe I was too defensive. I apologize.

Thank you for that, I just read this. Honestly, I agree with you that this is a huge problem; but moreso that the white officers had no penalties than that the black officer received one. But point taken, I understand where you're coming from. I do think this is a valid concern for the black

It is still illegal? Any mayor in the country would probably have to fire that person even if it's not morally right.

Yes, I did. You're just not understanding what I am saying. The voters say they do not trust pete; I get that. But they also don't provide direct quotations from the black leaders about what those problems are. I am saying I'd prefer their direct testimony than journalistic paraphrasing.

I said I'd like to be enlightened. I'm open to changing my mind, and wanted to learn more.

Also, the "minor issue" that you said led to the police chief being demoted was illegally recording conversations. key word there being "illegal.

But the residents weren't the ones saying that. A journalist was.

I mean sure you can make claims and then go "LOOK IT UP YOURSELF" whenever someone asks you to back it up but you just look unserious and like an asshole when you do that

Or rather, they don't show the people they interviewed explaining why.

I didn't ask about Democrats vs Republicans, I'm asking about Buttigieg vs Biden or Clinton. I think I've been fairly explicit in that

And Joe Biden didn't????

... doesn't explain why

In responding to this;

1) yes, the drug crime disparity is a serious problem and a valid criticism of Buttigieg.

2) no, the demotion (not firing) under those circumstances is not completely unwarranted.

3) I see the anecdotes of black folks from South bend saying that they don't trust him but PBS

When you make a claim you have the honus of proof to back it up, buddy. Literally one of the most basic rules of debate.

And again, I ask,, even if all these things are true and valid concerns, why have black people overwhelmingly supported politicians who have voted for overtly racist policies on the federal level in the past? What is the distinction that makes him so much worse?

I think that's a fair argument but this moron said that 96% of black people aren't homophobic at all lol

I'd love to be enlightened on all of these things. What were the circumstances of the police chief, first of all?

they only support gay marriage 4% more than *REPUBLICANS*

www.pewresearch.org/politics/201... AT LEAST 49% are homophobic to some extent according to pew (anyone who doesn't support gay marriage in the year of our Lord 2025 is homophobic in my eyes)

You have to be fucking stupid. 96%? You're just downplaying homophobia to a disgusting degree at that point.

Your fundamental premise there is that black Americans are so simple minded that they vote for a candidate just because they have the same last name of a guy who was good for the economy. That is disrespectful to me. Why is there a hesitancy to vote for Pete Buttigieg, I ask you again?

It absolutely is lol you're coping

...for black people?

Didn't say that that wasn't partially the case. But also wouldn't explain why black folks lined up to vote for Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton after their policies on crime and busing and policing their entire adult lives. What is the distinction that makes Buttigieg so much worse than those two...

Are you saying that homophobia is NOT a huge problem in the black community?

If you aren't willing to confront the problem there'll never be a solution.

do you think that the rampant homophobia in the black community has nothing to do with this? Especially among older black folks?
