And most whites on the Republican plantation are conservative and Christian. Yet they don't research what and who they are voting for and rely on hearsay and some pathetic victim mentality. "We are the harder workers" while sitting on welfare. Different sides of the same coin.

I am not gay. I am not attracted sexually to the same sex... anyone can have the propensity to be attracted to the same sex. It is if they entertain it , believe it, and act on it .. I have nothing against any gay person. First they are God's creation and second they fall into sin. God loves ALL people the same. It is just we all fall into certain sin and make errors in their path of life. We have a wonderful God who loves us as sinners . Nothing can stop the love of God. Nothing!

Seeing as how whites have a sky high divorce rate (like everyone else), doesn't look like they believe in it too much either.

this. I am black and am not surprised. Nearly 90% of black people are religious and that is the main contributing factor in the poll.

FWIW, I am surprised that the support from blacks is as high as it is.

Then maybe you would be surprised that the percentage of blacks that identify as LGBT are higher then whites. Of course any stats on the LGBT population does not measure the closet.

Thank you for this. But it doesn't matter to some of the idiots on this thread that will use any excuse to badmouth blacks and liberals. It's probably the reason this thread was created.

BS. The crime rate among blacks is one of the highest in the country despite their being only 13% of the population. So don't give us that crap about "religion". WHY do so many blacks on this forum constantly feel the need to defend other blacks on the mere basis of being of the same race?

No, not surprised at the number of gay black men as evidenced by gay and black people having the highest rates of HIV/AIDS infection in this country. Not surprised at all.

Of course they vote D. Duh. Have you ever heard the GOP's platform? Have you ever read the opinions of the Whites on this forum (they represent the party, I think). Blacks may be a little behind on supporting SSM but I'm not really surprised. Or, it could be as simple as the oppressed oppressing. Thanks to the OP for the info. Very interesting...

Actually, most statements attributed to conservatives, or members of the GOP come from self-identifying liberal progressives on this forum, who make those erroneous statements based on the caricatures they have been brainwashed to believe from the likes of MSNBC and Comedy Central.

It's religion. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Crime and religion aren't mutually exclusive...they're potentially inclusive.

They go together like flies and poop.
