If you’re buying this @PeteButtigieg all lives matter story, at least read the full quote in context.pic.twitter.com/2VxsiuHy4D
Let's also remember that this took place in March of 2015, relatively early in the days of All Lives Matter even being common parlance as an expression of contempt for the Black Lives Matter movement. Clinton's notorious comments didn't come til June 2015.http://southbendvoice.com/2015/03/11/full-text-mayor-buttigiegs-state-of-the-city-address-2015/ …
And further, this speech includes this, which merits a read. http://southbendvoice.com/2015/03/11/full-text-mayor-buttigiegs-state-of-the-city-address-2015/ …pic.twitter.com/esdhEYki82

I would ask you to read the full speech in context.https://twitter.com/franklinleonard/status/1113625461165158400 …
Franklin, I did. The fact that you’re going this hard in the paint for him on this is disappointing. It’s also insulting that you think I wouldn’t have read the entire article.
We don’t know each other & the vast majority of folks responding hadn’t read the article or the underlying speech. My conclusion that you hadn’t is therefore reasonable.
Beyond that, this isn’t about going hard in the paint for anyone. It’s about the process being based on the merits, not out of context quotes further miscontextualized by implying that those three words were uttered in reference to what you claimed they were.
This part, for example, is very different that the point of view you suggested, and these are his actual words.pic.twitter.com/x96y7EjYby
It shows he doesn't appreciate why the phrase itself is problematic, regardless of how he feels about it. It would be so simple not to pick the All Lives Matter side, a gentrification of the original phrase Black Lives Matter, but he chose to. He could've not said it, but he did.
Fair response.
Still pretty tone deaf to say “all lives matter”! If the same quote came from a GOP candidate it would be called a dogwhistle
Not if it came in March of 2015 before it was common way to express contempt for Black Lives Matter and was followed by the following, which incidentally was in the same speech.pic.twitter.com/vRRK8DHRhN
That is better, fair.
Pete's biggest strength, in my eyes, is his thoughtful and nuanced answers. Unfortunately, that's his biggest weakness to the twitting masses who have no ability nor desire to comprehend anything beyond headlines or 240 words. (I just made "twitting" a word and i'm not sorry)
folks are really trying hard to tear him down on assumptions and half-truths. sign of the times.
Exactly! Youd think that AT LEAST those of us on the left could dig into things a little better or at the very least READ THE ARTICLE before "canceling" a person! It's literally the LEAST we could do to avoid following into the misinformation traps we all fell into last time!
It's just... there's this article I find so troubling.https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/03/all-about-pete …
i’ve read the article and it is biased. I definitely have questions I want answered or elaborates on before I make a judgement
Granted, there's a bias, but it's against our box-checking, credential manufacturing meritocracy, and how it skims the cream of obsequious power-pleasers to perpetuate status quo values. The preponderance of Pete in the article reveals him to be a Perfect Paper Candidate.
I believe there are some verifiable, hard number facts that are wrong. I want a real, investigative piece that takes an in-depth analysis of how POC in S. Bend really feel about - good, bad, & neutral - because I think that is very impt to assessing his policies. This isn't it.
That blog post cherry-picks from this article and also fails to mention the grants provided for these neighborhoods to improve. Biased? A little bit.https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2019/03/21/pete-buttigieg-democratic-presidential-hopeful-south-bend-indiana-turnaround-city/3165477002/ …
