Black voters don’t like Pete Buttigieg, and he knows it.

The presidential candidate is well aware that his poor polling among African Americans is a serious problem for his campaign, so on Thursday he rolled out an anti-racism platform, named the “Douglass Plan” after the legendary civil rights leader Frederick Douglass. In a campaign email announcing the plan, Buttigieg said that “Black Americans continue to live in the shadow of systemic racism” and called for “anti-racist policies” to “close the gaps those centuries of [racist] policy created.”
