Miss Black America Wants Mayor Pete to be President
Share
Miss Black America, Ryann Richardson, announced her endorsement of Pete Buttigieg, the openly gay Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, for president.
Richardson posted on Instagram: I wrote a piece for @thegrio. It goes a little something like this:
“As Black Americans, for generations, our votes have been taken for granted by candidates who saw our support as a foregone conclusion. Today, they shouldn’t. We have options. Furthermore, we have a responsibility to ourselves and to the future of Black America to explore those options, to question the conventional wisdom about who we should support, and to scrutinize the (sometimes long and problematic) record of any candidate who purports to deserve our loyalty.”
She continued, “Read all of my #hottakes on the 2020 Presidential Race and why I’m calling on Black Americans to join me in supporting Mayor @Pete.Buttigieg as OUR nominee.”
