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.

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).
