'Acknowledge the original sin, but also that white men risked their lives to end slavery and a black man led the way to marriage equality for gay people,' writes Michael J. Stern in this usatodayopinion column.

Opinion columnistWhen I came across Michael Harriot’s recent article titled “Pete Buttigieg is a lying MF,” I thought perhaps he had uncovered proof that the Democratic presidential candidate's Harvard education and Rhodes scholarship were lies that had been manufactured with Photoshop and a stolen diploma printer. Or that Buttigieg’s eight years in the Navy Reserve, and his deployment to Afghanistan, were actually a cover story for his time as a male stripper at a gay bar.

According to Buttigieg, the U.S. attorney’s office told him that if the police chief stayed in that position, he’d be indicted. Despite the complicating factors, it appears that demoting the police chief spared him criminal charges and spared South Bend the problems that come with a chief of police under federal indictment.Sean Rayford/Getty Images

Oliver Davis, a black South Bend city councilman who supports former Vice President Joe Biden, told The Washington Post: “When you see me, you would know that I'm African American from day one.” Davis went on to describe how gays can hide the part of themselves that draw discrimination. With all due respect, someone should explain to Mr. Davis that closeting the most basic component of yourself for decades is not an asset and comes at an insidious personal cost.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t just white. He is “I don’t tan, I burn” white. This has not escaped his black critics. Harriot notes that Buttigieg attended one of the best private schools in the country and that his mom taught at “” school. The italics were included by Harriot, just to make sure no one missed the dig.
