Common Gives Pete Buttigieg Advice on How to Win the Black Vote

, and any other Democratic candidate, on how to win the black vote -- be yourself and be present.

The rapper, actor and activist was leaving LAX Monday night when he gave us his 2 cents on Mayor Pete's efforts to get black voters' attention. It's been a focal point for Buttigieg's campaign after polls showed him lagging in that department. To that point, perhaps, Common told us he doesn't know a lot about Pete specifically -- but he offered some tips, saying it's important to spend time in the community and not just for face time. He said the key is sincere engagement with voters on the issues.

When you come to Bulldog country it’s always good vibes!! Our students welcomed Presidential Candidate

Is the advice “Be Obama”?

Offer free stuff? Defend criminals? Pull the race card every 8 minutes?

Be a homophobe?

I have no idea why people think all black people are Democrats

Just lie to them

I love how people separate themselves based on their skin color. Lol no thanks

Common looks like the slim version of suge knight

Don't be a Democrat that's how you win the black vote believe that

No thank you

Do black people only do what other black people do? 🤔

If we have to educate the candidates on how to win over black people then they’re not for us...Periodt!

Common also said Chicago didn’t need trump How’s that working

Should be the right choice not the RACE!!!

Whenever I want to hear political advice, or the state of the black community, I'm going to check with Common.

My advice to Mayor Pete would be to avoid taking political advice from Common...I mean...he's a...rapper. Why would a presidential candidate take advice from him? See if you can get through to Obama, Mayor Pete, but not Kanye...or Common.

blackface?
