A Black problem in liberal Democrat rhetoric refers to a white Democratic party candidate's inability to relate to African American voters. Two examples from the 2016 presidential election and 2020 presidential election illustrate:
- John Podesta spoke of Hillary Rodham Clinton's "Eric Garner problem."[1] Garner was a black man killed in police custody while in a choke hold in 2014. Podesta wrote, "we know we have an Eric Garner problem,"[2] getting Blacks to vote for Hillary Clinton in light of her Superpredator comments to "bring them to heal."[3][4]
- Mayor Pete Buttigieg was criticized by David Axelrod,[5] Marcia Fudge, Politico,[6] The Daily Beast and others for having a "black problem."[7] Buttigieg attempted a "Sister Solja moment" when he left off the 2020 campaign trail to deal with a police shooting in his home town, telling [[Black Lives Matter activists, I'm not asking for your vote."
