'The idea he goes out with Rev. William Barber and says, you know, 'I didn’t realize our schools were so segregated.' Walk in them. And see. Walk around your city.' - Trymaine Lee on Mayor Pete Buttigieg's lack of awareness about racism

SUCH BULLSH*T. He wasn't talking about South Bend schools which have been integrated under Court order since before he was Mayor. He was taking about the difference between County districts. ALSO - there are simple answers for the other 'OMG!!!!!! ISSUES!!!!!' the media pushes.

Bye mayor

Theres so much more he doesn't know and need to learn prior to running for potus thinking most AAs will support him. Hes completely swept Eric Logans murder under the rug and he fired the city's first AA police chief. He wont do anything for us

We all have to learn and grow. Some don't want to, others think they already know it all, some think others should be as perfect as they think they are, and others do their best to learn and change their ways to reflect what they have learned. Pete is the latter.

Mayor Pete is authentic, sincere, passionate about improving the world. So, deficiencies in knowledge won't last long before he's learned and up dated his knowledge, his awareness, his policies. Learning and improving on the job is an imperative for a successful presidency.

I think he’s acutely aware of all discrimination and will be a great President..

it's against the law to segregate the schools supreme court made there ruling, My city has kids from around the world

Pete sucks PeteButtigiegIsOverParty

It’s a no vote for me, he lives in an ivory tower. Despite that, I would so love to hear the announcement of “the president and the first gentleman .”

This is an opportunity to take Pete aside and get him up to speed on social issues and the blind divided racial issues still going in our schools. You don't start criticizing a man who is going to potentially sit in the WH. PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 will understand and change 👍

People keep bringing up his “record on race.” DAMN THAT! What’s his plan?!?!?! Trump said “...what have you got to lose?” Hell, what have we gained?!?! Trump had a chance and blew it.

I can’t believe the arrogance of this guy thinking he has the experience to be President. And the naivety of people who love him.

I'm sick of people picking candidates because they're charismatic or bubbly or someone they'd want to have a beer with. NO! Dig deeper people! Look at what they've ACTUALLY accomplished (or not). Don't fall for false promises. Study their policies & whether or not they're viable.

You can't blame him, the system is be built to indoctrinated black, white,latinx,native Ame. asia,Muslim,Christian, LGBT,women,men,to believe the usa is democracy and freedom, in reality is systems built to protect one class only wealthy. For people to Working for capitalism

We need to give him credit for acknowledging his lack of awareness, which takes a lot of courage for a politician to do when he is running for the highest office of the land. Some of us may have pretended that we knew it all along.

He needs to go.

The guy is still 'half baked'

Buttigieg chose not to actually see because it didn't involve him, not his problem and never affected his world. Now because he's desperate for the African American votes, Buttigieg once again is playing the poor me, Naive card just like he did regarding the police chief.

Let’s discuss McKinsey Pete’s dark underBelly

BLACKS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THIS RACIST GAY MAN. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. TRUMP WILL WIN IN A LANDSLIDE. TRUMP WILL ADD AT LEAST ONE MORE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. IN 8 YRS TRUMP WILL ASSIGN OVER 510 CONSERVATIVES TO THE FEDERAL BENCH. WE WILL ONE THE COURTS FOR 60 YRS

He’s a fraud.

how much worse will things be after four more years of Trump? the entire country will be segregated.

He's not fooling anyone with that bullshit, He's a fraud.

so, because all the folks of one color live in one area and the other lives in r claiming a disparity?r we going back to forced busing again?please no.

Too young INEXPERIENCED

It's not about racism, it's about white privilege.

Dear Media, You are repeating 2016. STOP

As soon as s Democrat starts polling well it’s immediately becomes time to rip them apart. Even Democrats pile on, why?

Don't confuse not knowing with not caring.

Lord Jesus the Christ, I keep telling myself “Vote Blue no matter who” I can only pray that on that day, I will not be grieving when I vote. The thing with Pete B. is, he somehow reminds me a what many of those gray haired whitemen in the congress and Senate were as young men🤦‍♀️

he's white....he has to be a racist

Mayor Pete is not ready to be President. He needs some years to learn and build credibility with the full democratic base. 2032 maybe...

Trudeau's jaw hit the floor when he seen the U.S. job numbers. Thanks, President Trump

He has no kids. And he’s stupid.

Out of touch. Not a good look for a Democrat candidate.

The man can’t run a city of 100,000, and you expect him to run a country with 350 million? What level of delusion do you have to be under to think this man could be president?

Its sh!t like this, that divides voters and will in turn keep Trump in Power. And no I'm not referring to Pete, I'm referring to the sh!tty news outlets! Same shit they did to Sanders campaign in 2016, as well as the massive bolstering of the FBI investigating on Clinton! 🤬

The power of media in shaping an image. The narrative that Buttigieg has a problem with minorities specifically African Americans is a test to see if he has the ability to change and or shaoe a narrative. This is a political test. I think he is struggling with.

I still don’t understand Y’all‘s need to spin such a negative narrative when it comes to PeteButtigieg . There’s many positive things and reports you could share. Your own prejudice is showing. So much for fair and comprehensive reporting.

If he is really that unaware of situations in his own backyard, how can he handle the bigger issues of the country or of the world? I like Mayor Pete, but he’s not ready to be President. We already have an inexperienced POTUS in the WH.

This question should be addressed to the majority of Americans. Pete isn't the only one STILL learning or defying reality.

This is not a lack of awareness! It is a WILLFULL blindness shared by the majority of white people! Because if they ever really took those blinders off and saw how horrible they really are to people of color! They'd all lose their minds! The fact he's gay and missed it. Proves it

He has not a freakin clue. Doesn't matter where he walks he hasn't enough time to learn or even comprehend how out of touch he is. He is no different to realdonaldtrump kids in this respect. You don't learn about these things overnight and he ain't got enough time.

Pete is lying. He is aware. He has lived a segregated life forever.

This dude is a joke that isn't funny. PeteButtigieg

There are so many things that He is not aware of. He is not ready to be President.

ByeByePete

He opportunistically ignores that it was about county vs. city. msnbc needs to do a 1000x better

I look at Buttigieg and I see someone out for themselves, someone who tries to hide his approval of oppression but does it poorly, and someone who sells himself to the highest bidder. On top of that, he lacks the qualifications we need in our president, ESPECIALLY in 2021.

he could walk around the city and the schools for a hundred years and he’d still be white and not understand the minority experience; write in kamala

He’s better than Trump right?

He seems to be coming to grips with his 'whiteness'. See Pete? You've made yourself a homosexual man of God without a country....buh bye

Pete has no business running for President

Segregated schools isn’t racism. People can move in this country. Don’t like your school zone in an urban area? Move to the country.
