I've spent more than a little time in the South when I worked for a division of BellSouth .... Charlotte, Birmingham, Atlanta, Jackson, Columbia etc .... and I can guarantee that the African Americans who are multi-generational Democrat voters down there will take one look at "Mayor Pete" walking out hand-in-hand with his husband and stay home in November. Or vote for Trump.
I don't expect MSNBC or CNN to start slinging slurs of "homophobia" at that voting demographic.
I also don't see African Americans lifting a finger for Bernie, Bloomberg or Lizzie. The DNC has **** the bed.
