23. Mayor Pete's only black problem is no different from his white problem

and that is that he just isn't known as well as the other top candidates YET.

Just because one person, Marcia Fudge, says he has a black problem, that's supposed to mean he has a black problem? I don't think so. Once people actually hear what he has to say in the upcoming debates, town halls, interviews, etc, they will see that Mayor Pete is out for the general welfare of every person in this country regardless of whether they are black, white, or in between, gay or straight. He is that smart and that good a person. He might not end up winning, but he will impress the black community and everyone else in a huge way before this is over. There is no way that this "he has a black problem" is going to stick, at least not for very long.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
