NEW ORLEANS - Joining several other Democrats targeting black voters this weekend with economic proposals, presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg released a policy on Sunday aimed at helping minorities start businesses.
Black voters have played a critical role in the Democratic primary process, and winning the party’s nomination would be unlikely without their support. Hillary Clinton’s strong support among black voters was critical in helping her secure the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. On Saturday, former Vice President Joe Biden apologized for comments he made in June about working with segregationist senators who he disagreed with when he was elected in the 1970s.“When you’re responsible for something you’ve got to own it. It’s a quality we should expect in our presidents,” Buttigieg said. He added on the issue of race, “White candidates need to find their voices on this issue.
“Women of color account for nearly half of all women-owned businesses, over $386 billion in annual revenue, which means lifting up black women not just with our words, but with our dollars,” Buttigieg said.
A model for tepid neoliberalism
Lmao he is attempting to buy hearts & minds after that shooting in his town
He is a racist Mayor and everyone knows it.
No
Hot diggety dog ! And so the identity politics strategy keeps playing out for the Democratic Party. Third or fourth party to take on this ridiculous trend ?
Hell why not he needs black voters worse than KamalaHarris does & she's trying to buy them with home-ownership!! BLEXIT & JoeBiden taking away their black votes. If your on the left, you gotta pander...
Can the Democrats pander to anyone else besides straight white males? What next, Pete carries hot sauce in his European man purse?
Can’t turn slugs into snails with a wallet. Great people always find their way, everybody else is a waste of resources
Isn't a benefit to 'minority business' a form of discrimination? The lack of responses will provide an answer to my question
Let the pandering continue!
Oh goody goody. The left is leaving no stone unturned.
screw struggling white small businesses eh PeteButtigieg? TuckerCarlson
