Here's what I mean when I say that Black women have to prove themselves over and over, and are held to a higher standard.
In order to be the Dem president of the USA, you have to be able to do two things
1) Win big elections
2) Draw enthusiastic support from Black voters
Pete Buttigieg won his 1st mayoral election with only 10k votes. Not margin of victory! Total votes! Smaller than many college student body president elections. His 2nd term was 8.5k. And he polled ~2% with Black voters.
