On Race Issues, Mayor Pete Is “A Good Student” — But Lacks Context

“Pete Buttigieg has come under heavy scrutiny for his record on race and perhaps superficial relationship to the Black community, which came to the fore during Wednesday’s Democratic presidential candidate debate in an exchange with Kamala Harris, who criticized the Indiana mayor for using a stock photograph of a Kenyan woman to illustrate his plan for Black America. “I think the problem that Mayor Pete has is that he comes across as a very good student, someone who is deeply studied and can understand issues, but doesn’t have a context oftentimes or a story to back it up,” says Rashad Robinson, executive director of Color of Change. “We have a history — hundreds of years — of stalled progress, of inequality on race issues in this country. And we need someone that actually has experience, the ability to mobilize people, and the ability to move people.”
