Because people infantilize Black folk, in particular Black men, they usually assume that they have more info than Black men voters, and make better decisions than us when presented with the same info.🤷🏿♂️
No one bothered to do what you did (ask Black men why they didn't like Buttigieg as a candidate).

After all this, Buttigieg was polling at an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero.
The press speculated that Black voters might not like Buttigieg because he is gay, essentially accusing all Black voters of homophobia (even the gay ones).🤦🏿♂️
Buttigieg leaned into this trope.

There were allegations that Buttigieg donors were on the tapes that the police chief recorded, plotting with the officers on how to get rid of all the Black people in city leadership.
The Black community wanted to know if this was true. Buttigieg refused to release the tapes.
But it gets worse...

When Buttigieg took office, there were only 3 Black people in leadership positions in South Bend, including that police chief. Within 6 months there were zero.

Way back when, mayor Pete's reform-minded chief of police, Daryl Boykins, recorded some of his officers making vile racist statements. So Buttigieg fired... the police chief.🤡
Boykins was the 1st Black police chief in city history, and was building trust with Black folk.
