This says more about Trump supporters than about Trump...
WASHINGTON – South Bend, Indiana, has become a flashpoint for racial controversy in the aftermath of a fatal police shooting of 54-year-old Eric Jack Logan, who is black.
So at a recent Pete Buttigieg campaign stop in Carrol, Iowa, an audience member offered Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, a potential solution.
In a video posted by ABC, an unidentified man is seen telling Buttigieg, "I have a solution for you and I'd like you to make a comment on my proposal. Just tell the black people of South Bend to stop committing crime and doing drugs."
Buttigieg then responded, "Sir, I don't think racism is going to get us out of this."
The man answered Buttigieg and said that "it has nothing to do with race."
Buttigieg then went on to explain how racial disparities in incarceration were evidence of "systemic racism" in the criminal justice system.

White people proportionally use more drugs and worse drugs... and get away with them longer. Except for the criminal element that exercises no financial constraints, poor blacks are basically priced out of drug use. Much drug addiction results from abuse of prescription pain-killers heavily associated with people such as miners and loggers who endure severe pain from those injuries.
Yeah, sure, as far as the fellow who associates crime and drug use with being black.
