Pete Buttigieg laid out an agenda for “black empowerment.” ed_kilgore writes on what Buttigieg is doing to address his single most glaring weakness as a candidate
Mayor Pete has had an uneven relationship with his African-American constituents in South Bend. Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images Any Democratic candidate for president really ought to have an explicit agenda for addressing racial inequality in this day and age.
Buttigieg has already gotten some scrutiny for his role in the 2012 demotion of the city’s first African-American police chief, Darryl Boykins, after the chief taped conversations of officers allegedly making racist remarks. That case has tied up the city in years of expensive litigation. Mayor Pete is also trying to overcome criticism of a 2015 speech in which he used the phrase “all lives matter” in the context of police-community relations.
The plan proposes investments in key areas that would benefit African Americans, Buttigieg argues. It proposes establishing an a National Health Equity Strategy in order to “train our existing health workforce to combat bias — especially racial bias — when treating patients.”The Douglass plan would also dramatically increase federal funding for black students in science-related fields and increase resources for students at Title I schools.
