The Associated Press decided to tackle that subject this week, with a focus on the upcoming South Carolina primary. The title of their article is rather blunt, to say the least. “In SC, Buttigieg faces black voters wary of a gay candidate.” To steal a catchphrase from George Takei… Oh, my! But the further you read into their report, the more they seem to undermine their own premise. In fact, they cite a recent poll taken among voters in the Palmetto State and there was almost no difference between Black and white voters when it comes to tolerance for an LGBTQ candidate.

1. I suspect that 'the problem' to the extent there is one ...

tracks much more closely with 'religious views' than it does with 'skin color' myself.

2. Al Sharpton made a fascinating comment a month or maybe six weeks ago

on MSNBC regarding this issue, explaining why African American voters were shying away from Mayor Pete. This may not be exact but it's close: "It's not that black folks are homophobic; black folks are worried that other black folks are homophobic."

4. HotAir is a conservative site leaning RW.

Hot Air was founded by Michelle Malkin, a conservative author and blogger.

Just more rat f**king by the usual suspects.

6. So it's right wing propaganda, but they report that Blacks are not bigoted against Mayor Pete? n/t

7. I said noting about 'propaganda', I said it is a RW site.
