I agree. The @PeteButtigieg audience was overwhelmingly white. He’ll need to be more inclusive going forward. I trust he will be. https://t.co/dQyKAMCSXE

He could pay attendees like Hillary did and buy their votes like Obama.
Tribe was once a well-respected legal mind. Too bad he pissed that away to become just another partisan hack.
Pete ButtGlug has nothing that will inspire the Black and Hispanic communities.
Oh, sure, how can the minority voters not rally around some married gay guy from the Midwest who has a name like "Butt-gig"? I mean, it's freakin' lock!
Do these white commentators actually know any, uhhmmm, like, minorities? And I don't mean the upper-crust blacks who were in their class at Harvard, I mean the black guys who work at the auto repair shop & the Latinas who work in office administration at their dentists. Because those folks aren't knocking down the doors top vote for some white gay guy (they wouldn't phrase it quite so nicely).
Yet another report from inside the bubble.
“Be more inclusive.” Good idea. We’re not going to display the “whites only” sign next time.
Yeah, that was the Democratic party problem, they were appealing to too many white people.
Democrats desperately searching for their savior.
Diversity breeds adversity. Don't indulge color judgments. #HateLovesAbortion
So diversity does mean stuff that black people like. Thought so.
He needs to get a divorce and start dating Don Lemon.
Sweet Pete can get 100% of the Black Gay Vote. Now will he smear Trump as a racist like he smeared him for being a committed traditional Christian. Pete cannot believe that his elite ideas are not enough out side elite Academia to stop the Trump's convert from loving Trump right back for affirming their lives.
He'll need to be more inclusive.
In what way is he not being inclusive?
The current Governor of Virginia pioneered a technique to create a display of diversity in an otherwise uniformly white (fraternity) gathering. After enduring some passing controversy, he is now proof that it is a valuable tool in every Democrat politico's drawer. And it can revive the dying Black Shoe Poilsh Industry.
The incredible whiteness of being Larry Tribe: "One for me, and one for my homeys."
That didn't happen in 2016
Hillary didn't inspire enough white people.
Obama didn’t listen to Professor Larry. Ignored him like the nobody he is.
Mayor Pete can ignore Larry as well.
Besides, all those white people he sees are Cherokee. Just like his colleague Senator Liz Warren.
Harvard University is an Asylum
I didn't assume anything but that if he's white he's probably educated. It's a stereotype.
If he can learn Norwegian, he can learn "black dialect", be spotted in a Tupac t-shirt etc.
He’ll need to be more inclusive going forward
He needs to put on a black accent like Hillary and AOC do.
Memo to Larry Tribe:
The whole fucking state of Vermont is white too! And that won't stop Bernie Sanders.
Professor Tribe is so lost he needs a compass. The man is descending into madness.
In fairness, Cory Booker's friend T-Bone may have been in Buttigieg's crowd, but nobody spotted him.
In what way is he not being inclusive?
My best guess is that he needs to talk more about reparations and the White Supremacists that keep Black people in chains.
He might also talk about how racist police kill and imprison innocent Black men.
You know the drill, Henry.
"He’ll need to be more inclusive going forward."
Really? What should he do - rent some negroes from Gary?
That was a joke, Larry. Lighten up.
Honest question:
Where was the rally/speech?
He’ll need to be more inclusive going forward.
Or else what? Tribe will tantrum?
Cute how Larry believes he’s an authority on racial inclusion.
He would rather be more inclusive going backward.
Amusing how the lefties see everything through a racial lens.
Blackface...and the moonwalk.
Did Candidate Buttigieg and his campaign bar the door to POC? Horrible, just horrible.
Tribe was once a well-respected legal mind. Too bad he pissed that away to become just another partisan hack.
I read Tribe's twitter feed the other day after he insulted the Attorney General in the most childish terms, and was astounded that a legal mind I once respected (though disagreed with on most jurisprudence) sounded like the spawn of Keith Olbermann and Kathy Griffin. Trump's greatest skill (among many) is compelling his opponents to self-immolate.
Even after CA Prop 8 was carried by the Black vote, the left still doesn't get it.
What did Tribe expect? Mayor Pete is the Pat Boone of candidates.
So a man called Tribe calls for diversity?
Somebody had to say it.
Maybe Jussie Smollet can attend the next Mayor Pete rally.
Get the OJ Simpson endorsement. Maybe a satellite shout out from Bill Cosby
It's that brain tumor he had years ago, it must have turned him into a ranting lunatic.
South Bend has a high percentage of blacks.
Mayor Pete is on a first name basis with more blacks than Larry.
There are more blacks in South Bend Indiana than all of Vermont.
He needs to let the black folks know that he ain't no ways tahrd. That usually does the trick.
White people still comprise 77% of the US population, and an ever higher percentage of qualified voters.
Mayor Pete is on a first name basis with more blacks than Larry.
There are more blacks in South Bend Indiana than all of Vermont.
So why didn't they show up?
What did Tribe expect? Mayor Pete is the Pat Boone of candidates.
Pat Boone wearing leather and singing metal maybe. He is gay you know.
[Professor Tribe] is descending into madness.
Or genius. We should know both. In his madness he misses the trees for the forest and reveals logical truths.
So why didn't they show up?
At home getting ready for their Game of Thrones party.
Rough and tumble black men (not Obama) don't like being put in the same minority status as gays.
Tribe is a quasi-white lunatic.
Harvard is descending into quasi-authoritarianism.
We should quasi-Chuck the whole lot of them into South Bay.
If he was holding a meet and greet in someplace like New Hampshire he would need bring in minorities from Massachusetts or New York City. Minorities are in very short supply around here.
I don't think Buttuvwxyz will have the appeal necessary to win the necessary percentage of minority voters. However, I think there is literally no chance he is the nominee- in fact, I don't think he will make it past New Hampshire. That his candidacy attracts so much media fawning is just another example of the bubble they apparently live in.
Yes, let's frame this year's election as a race war.
Uh, you forgot to mention that his attendees were all white fags. So, he needs to appeal to more darky fags. Diversity is our strength, don'tcha know?
The media are desperate for a Dem candidate who at least doesn't LOOK like a freak until he opens his/her/xir/xem/xose mouth...
Trump is orange, so we got that going for us
Seems POCs know a crook, a racist and an elitist on sight, no matter what she packs in her purse. Hillary may 'put that shit on everything', but that doesn't fool Blacks and Hispanics to make them think she represents them.
And letting her crony friends fuck over Haiti with their NGOs...yeah. Class move by the O'er the Hill.
Gay doesn't wash with Hispanics and Blacks.
What percentage of the Democratic electorate will that be?
Does anyone believe that the same competitors who called Obama a Kenyan, who sought out the 'MeToo' girls, and who crack open sealed court records are really going to go easy on Petey?
I don't think so either.
I am so sick of the left's anti-white racism. What mendacious swines they are.
What culture do they propose to replace this one with? Somalia's? China's? Have any of these assholes ever traveled overseas and seen what real racism looks like? Not a single one of them, I think, could tell a Hutu from a Tutsi, or an Ibo from a Kikiyu, but if any of those meet a member of another tribe, you'd better be sure there aren't any sharp objects in the room.
That is, unless there are white people present to keep order.
It seems to be our fate to do just that, at least in this country. So be it.
Meanwhile, let's celebrate Diversity!
More pandering.
I think that’s the word he was looking for.
I agree
All white leftists should shut up, and not say anything between now and the Nov 2020 election.
That means you, Tribe. And you, every single white non-conservative member of the press. you should all stop "white knighting" for minorities, and let them speak for themselves
Tribe strikes me as rather tribal.
Such a winning formula for Dems: criticize the race of the audience.
Have you ever heard: “that audience was too black”?
Just remember when you follow/read Larry's twitter feed, the guy was 44's mentor and hero at Harvard Law.
You have to consider that Tribe was once a voice of reason (relatively speaking) on the Harvard Law faculty.
buwaya,
That may have been true publicly but he was always privately the biggest fan of his own press.
The cute gay guy is not going to excite the black and Hispanic segment of the Democratic coalition so much.
“We need to recapture the votes of white people.”
“Man, that crowd was too white!”
If he wins I will be calling him Pres. Buttplug and I don't care what anyone says.
“What culture do they propose to replace this one with?”
Heard along the tiki torch lit Nazi march in Charlottesville, “You will not replace us”. What a coincidence! Why are you so afraid of being replaced or having the culture replaced? Do you think culture is stagnant? Don’t you read history?
“Donald Trump and his friends want to divide us up based on the color of our skin, our gender, where we were born, our religion or our sexual orientation. Well. We're going to do exactly the opposite. We're going to bring our people together: black and white, Latino, Asian American and Native American. Men and women. Gay and straight. Native born and immigrant.”
That didn’t last 24 hours.
He wasnt as deep into critical legal studies as say ogletree and the Brazilian one but he wasnt ally of Clark against Derrick bell.
Hey Anonymous!
What culture has produced the best results in human history?
Be specific.
My choice is American culture, where people from all over can come and succeed far more than the people who stay in their native lands.
Why would you prefer to replace that culture with any other?
So many scared white straight men afraid that if a gay man wins the presidency that they’ll be replaced.
Aw, the sockpuppetry has begun.
The skin color wars. At want point to we treat each other as equals?
Pat Boone wearing leather and singing metal maybe. He is gay you know.
Pat Boone wearing Leather
Democrats judge people by their skin color.
Democrats are racists.
Nothing new. They succeeded from the nation to defend slavery.
very, very white
...and mostly women.
Pete B. speaks like Obama. He's poly-syllabic, and has nothing to say. I'll bet that he is thin skinned, and petty as well.
The left's anti-white racism is going to hurt them. They really need to think about what they are doing to the people they speak against.

That was when he thought he was going to be a supreme court justice.
No need for pretensions now.
Democracy is a European invention. It's in our DNA. It started with my people many centuries ago!! Other people (i.e., brown people) just don't do democracy.
Actually, most all nomadic people practice "democracy" more or less.
If the leadership of a nomadic tribe gets too oppressive for some minority group, they get up in the night and leave, which is bad for everybody, since it leaves both parties at risk for attacks by more numerous tribes, so the idea of discussion and compromise just naturally develops as the best system for collective security.
Background music in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014). The bad guy always listens to classical music in Hollywood films. In French films it's the good guy.

White guy.
That's awfully white of Prof. Tribe.
Almost everything the left say and push has a "We will hurt you. We will punish you. You must suffer" kinda vibe.
But with love.
This guy:

I see that a number of people of Middle Eastern (from Morocco the the Chinese border) now are complaining about having to identify as "White" on official forms and want a separate designation. I sympathize, but the trouble is that these are peoples that do not have much in common and in fact have been warring on each other for centuries if not millennia.
If everybody is to be accommodated we will soon have far too many "races" for the human mind to keep track of, but then perhaps we could get rid of the whole concept.
Tribe doesn't seem to realize Mayor Pete's niche in this race is white lefties looking for a fresh face who looks like them. Blacks and Hispanics aren't as accepting of the whole gay thing anywhere near as much as whites are, at least in part because they're not being assimilated.
The cognitive dissonance would be taken to massive levels if Ilhan Omar were to tweet something out against this guy at any point during the primary season. Of course given the way things are going, if she were to do so, muslims beat gays in the Game of Intersectionality Thrones, and the mayor would probably be shocked that his mere existence was an incitement of violence against Omar before he was ushered off the stage by the party leadership back into the closet.
But if you're white, male, Christian, you won't be included.
It feels like Althouse has just discovered the corruption of Laurence Tribe, and cannot look away.
And speaking about the goo his mind has become, he cannot even articulate a sensible sentence. look at his phrasing: Buttigieg will need the be more inclusive, like he was turning away black people at the door and needs to stop. Hopeless.
Bizzare. The left has completely come unhinged.
Ah,hahahahahahaha ... ha .... hahahaha, aaaand, snicker, snicker,
The white left had a transcendental moment when they voted for Obama. It was the proudest, happiest vote they ever cast. Blacks were even more ecstatic. Other minorities, while not quite so blissful, were very glad to vote for Obama and demonstrate that a minority can become President........The white left will feel a frisson of excitement getting behind Buttigieg (so to speak), but only the gays will consider it a transcendental moment. I don't see him attracting much enthusiasm in other minority communities, but most of those who show up to vote will vote for him. The last two Presidents were the most unlikely winners in the field. I wouldn't count him out. The fact that he's so unlikely paradoxically increases his likelihood of winning.
"He'll have to be more inclusive." Did he affirmatively not invite Black people? What is he going to do, go out and press-gang POCs into attending his rallies? Maybe Black Democrats like other candidates better? Does Tribe know better than African-Americans what candidate they should support? Sad!
Professor Tribe has spent the last 50 years as a privileged white man on the Harvard Law Facility. He needs to either resign to make room for a Person of Color or spend a week teaching his Con Law class in blackface to protest the enduring shsme of Plessy v Ferguson.
His choice.
On a similar note:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/04/14/shamima-begum-hiresgareth-peirce-human-rights-lawyer-represented/
Where some see color, clumps of cells, others see people. Diversity, the dogma of color supremacists, transhuman bigots, and Pro-Choicers everywhere.
The white left had a transcendental moment when they voted for Obama.
It was not just the lefties. More than a few putative conservatives voted for the "historic" Obama.
Their White Guilt Credit Card was not yet maxed out.
Why is it that our self-proclaimed anti-racist, anti-sexist party spends so much time talking about the race and sex and sex of their voters and candidates, and the the race and sex of the other party's candidates and voters?
Are they really this stupid? This lacking in self-awareness?
pet buttered egg
Tribe continues his downward spiral.
The real question is who will Black folks vote for? Will they all go for Kamala or Booker, or will Biden get them? They make up 20% of the primary voters and usually vote as a bloc. I don't see them going for Buttigag or Crazy Bernie.
Laurence Tribe was overwhelmingly white. He’ll need to be more inclusive going forward. I trust he will be.
Crazy that the MSM is pushing this guy. Is it to take the spotlight off all the other Democrat Crazies? Maybe the WaPo/NYT doesn't want Crazy Bernie or Booker to be the face of the party. Or maybe this is a way to get Biden out of the picture. Lets talk about Mayor Pete and his awesome Gayness, instead of Joey watch your hands.
What Tribe says is irrelevant. He's been stuck on stupid for 25 years.
I have dyed my dog's fur brown.
Crazy that the MSM is pushing this guy.
Follow the money.
Pete needs to make a video like Warren did, where he tells his husband to "Go git me a 40 oz, bitch."
The American system of representative government evolved out of the English system developed by Protestants. That same system was massively oppressing the Irish Catholics; in the Famine, Irish numbers went from 8 million to 3 million. But when Irish Catholics came to America we liked representative government; Irish Catholics enlisted in the Union Army in order to free the slaves and keep the Union going. In other words it's possible in the face of great historical oppression and cultural differences and to realize the strengths of representative government and to support it in the USA. And I believe that members of other cultures are making similar journeys into America. We shouldn't be helicopter social workers hovering over that journey which, in any case we can't make for them. They have to figure out how Islam can give up support for slavery for the infidel and still be Islam, not us. Or how the indigenous tribes relate to the nations inside whose borders they are. However being a victim six different ways isn't making the journey.
Yes even the pilgrims were a bit of a pill, for roger William's followers among others
If Buttigieg is popular with the dem base because he is gay, wouldn't he be even more popular if he were more gay? Use your imagination, Pete! The sky is the limit!
Lewis titillated by Mayor Pete, NTTAWWT
You know what would’ve been bold? If Pete had come in blackface. And if he had Ralph Northam with him it would’ve been flat out hysterical.
Missed opportunity.
Note how funny and delicious is the sarcasm here and the absence of the usual LLR rancor. Correlation?
He could come out as Bi.
The whiteness! It BURNS!
Tell a candidate's supporters that they're hurting him by going to his events. This seems like a sneaky way to get them to stay home. That way, they might not support the candidate you prefer, but they won't be obviously supporting Buttigieg either.
Bwwahhaaaaaa! Honk! Honk!
Larry Tribe's dementia continues to worsen.
I had no idea that Buttigieg was excluding POCs from his campaign events. If he is doing that, he will have to become more inclusive.
Maybe Buttigieg can serve up a nice stew of reparations for living people who were enslaved. I favor reparations for every person now alive who personally suffered chattel slavery under US law.
I’m with #PeteButtPlug!
I agree. The @PeteButtigieg audience was overwhelmingly white. He’ll need to be more inclusive going forward. I trust he will be.
Wow. His tweet is fucked up on so many levels.
1) You are to blame for the color of the people who are listening to you.
2) You need to fix your audience so it looks appropriate
3) If your audience is multi-racial, then what you are saying is wonderful
4) If you were better at running a campaign you would fix these optics so Larry Tribe won't be embarrassed in supporting you
5) You may be gay, but you're still a white boy.
Tribe has argued 36 times before scotus. Which is prob 36 more times than all Althouse commentators put together.
Politics has become too absurd to spend time on. I am pulled to stay engaged by my responsibility to my descendants but more compelled to check out and enjoy the rest of my years by my mortality, the reality of which has been enforced by two bouts of cancer over the last 5 years. Lawrence Tribe has the perfect name for this identity politics shitfest.
Which is prob 36 more times than all Althouse commentators put together.
And? We're discussing his tweet, not the law.
Thank you, I just “followed” this blue check racist so I can watch his head explode. Good Times!
"Tribe has argued 36 times before scotus."
Yeah. So why is he putting out incoherent nonsense like this? What does Tribe the Genius think Buttigieg is doing that is non-inclusive? What should Buttigieg do to "be more inclusive"? Tell us, O Wise Man.
If Tribe ever did share his thinking, I bet it would be a laundry list of cheap pandering stunts.
Here is my program for inclusivity: be honest; be reliable; work hard; do more than is expected; learn new things. Do that and you will be welcome everywhere.

You may be mistaken. I believe that more than one commenter here has spoken of coming before the Supreme Court. There are a number of lawyers here, you know.
Yeah. So why is he putting out incoherent nonsense like this? What does Tribe the Genius think Buttigieg is doing that is non-inclusive? What should Buttigieg do to "be more inclusive"? Tell us, O Wise Man.
More policy and rhetorical payoffs to the "oppressed."
Curiously to the extent that Bootygag evinced or evinces any relatively moderate/conservative positions - I believe he used to like to say All Lives Matter but has climbed down from that - he represents a diversity of thought within his party, which is evidently not welcome. Once all the candidates have identical positions, their demographics will be the only way to choose between them. Which I guess is the point.
Too many whites in the Democrat party. Get rid of some whites. Maybe 30 million?>
Tribe has argued 36 times before scotus.
My father argued before the Supreme Court about a dozen times. First time he was giddy, like a defensive back playing against the Dallas Cowboys for the first time.
But what point are you trying to make? Do you think arguing a case before SCOTUS makes you an elite attorney? My understanding is that most attorneys get eaten for lunch.
Credentialism? He went to Yale? How about judging him on merit alone? Oh my bad, if you are a democrat, you already give out participation trophies based on sex and skin color, so making yet another false appeal to authority is typical for your kind.
Yes, your kind... What? Stereotypes are bad? You just pretzeled yourself with your own logic. That looks uncomfortable. Need any help? Because I have a piece of paper that declares me an expert in that field. From Yale.
3) If your audience is multi-racial, then what you are saying is wonderful
Blacks represent 14% of the population. Can you imagine the outrage if he had said blacks were over-represented at a campaign rally? Heads on pikes.
This reminds me of the Brie Larson nonsense. She says she wants to open up Hollywood to more minorities. ...Except the original Captain Marvel was an african-american woman named Monica Rambeau. I asked Ms Larson if she would relinquish the star role she appropriated, one that should have gone to a black actress. So far no response. How curious...
I also asked Disney, if the want to be truly ground-breaking (I mean come on, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a feminist hero in 1997, 20 years ago).. I asked Disney why they didn't use this opportunity to cast a black female in the role, a female version of Black Panther? No response from them either. Golly gee.
The original Marvel Captain Marvel was a Kree man. Larson's movie does set up Monica's arc.
(Of course the original original Captain Marvel is the guy they are now calling Shazam..)
Day before yesterday nobody knew who he was, and now he's getting adulation from every dinosaur media outfit. I can't decide if it's the intersectional media crowd giddy at the prospect of a gay president or if he's just a canny politician with a grasp of power politics.
Lawrence Tribe is the Cher of Harvard Law.
Buttigieg has a lock on the jamming fecal material up your urethra voting block. Well unless Cory comes out of the closet, then we'll have an old fashion cat fight.
"Tribe has argued 36 times before scotus. Which is prob 36 more times than all Althouse commentators put together."
Oh. Well in that case, it's totally inappropriate to ever question anything he says. My bad!
"...be more inclusive."
One of the great things about Twitter (and the internet in general) is that it enables you sound like you know what you're talking about. Kind of like a college dorm bull session. Or Washington DC. In this pronouncement, Tribe sounds like he knows "inclusive." He "speaks jive."
Left unspoken, though, is what one should actually DO to "be more inclusive."
The original Marvel Captain Marvel was a Kree man. Larson's movie does set up Monica's arc.
No, I'm pretty sure he was known as Mar-Vel. Although it gets confusing with Mrs Marvel and Captain Marvel, since the Carol Danvers character never caught on. They rebooted her like 4 or 5 times, but people still mainly remember her as the backstory prop of how X-Man Rogue stole her strength, flight and invulnerability powers.
(Of course the original original Captain Marvel is the guy they are now calling Shazam)
In the DC Comics world, not Marvel Comics.
Anyway, my main point is that if Disney wanted to be "ground-breaking" they could have given us Monica Rambaeu as the first black female Avenger, but chose not too. If we had a real media they would ask Disney why not. I bet if Brie was conservative, she would be hounded 24/7 for her "white supremacy". Step down Brie! This movie wasn't made for white women! LOL.

Yeah. So? Get him here and you leave.
Even if I hated Trump like the Never Trump Rinos do, I could never vote for a party that panders to racial audience member counters like Tribe.
His name is Booty Judge. Ain't no white guy a proper judge of booty.
I keep seeing polls about how Democrats think most Republicans are rich, and Republicans think the Democrats are way more gay and non-white than they actually are. What I'd like to see is how gay and non-white Democrats think the Democrat Party is. Because all this "inclusiveness" shit has an air of believing your own press. The last time I looked, polls that included Biden showed that over half of likely Democrat primary voters wanted a white man.
Why do candidates need to be "inclusive"? The minorities will vote for the Democrat, whoever it is. The Democrats need to get whites back on board, or they'll be stuck being the minority party in both senses of the word.
Eeeeeewww white people!
That's gross!
If I recall correctly, that was the winning strategy and the reason Hillary is president today.
As a black man I can say it’s ok to be white. You’re allowed to vote for Mayor Pete
"Can't he, like, force some brown people to come to his events or something?"
