So why would blacks, in particular, be angry? Why would they be angrier than whites?

This^^^^^^ Up until the 60's or 70's most Mormons believed black people were cursed by whoever their god is. So why in the freak would I vote for some POS like Romney? Keep polling idiots and see what the result is in November.

Now this one is even hard for me to understand or believe. However, if this is accurate, it's the worst news for the Obama campaign yet.
Yes because all us black people are incapable of thinking about issues that are important to us....

Always sad to me when I see such things written about a group in this country. Black people, especially in the south are very religious and many black people I have heard comment on black radio stations and other media outlets have admitted that they will not support Obama due to his stance on gay marriage. Most though have said they just won't vote instead of voting for Romney as many don't like that he is a Mormon.

Nah, you have blacks pegged all wrong. Most of us don't care or compete with illegals for jobs. Fast forward 20 years. It's 2012. The real beef is between hispanics who are here legitimately versus illegals in regards to jobs. Most blacks that i know have figured out the formula. With education, no one can ever take your spot.

ROTFLLS! So, after hearing two or three callers complain about gay marriage, you have assumed that "Most of the 35 million Blacks" in the U.S. won't show up to vote? As a black person, I think I am a more in tune with the pulse of the race in regard to politics. But thanks for the try. Blacks are passionate, vocal and opinionated about their political leaders. Some are upset about Obama's decision. However! Here's a biggie. They will not let it change their vote or appreciation for Obama because we know the underlying circumstances and obstacles he has faced over the previous 4 years. It's that simple. Once they start telling old black ladies in the south that Mitt Romney wants to cut their SS, you will see them come out in droves because in the end, they can forgive Obama for his stance on gay marriage once they feel threatened by Romney.

Those "cultural" and "class" differences are important ones too. As one with plenty of kin still in the South, I can tell 'ya to never underestimate the power and social networking of churches there, but most especially the ones that form the backbone of the southern Black community. I don't doubt that with so much economic stress and uncertainty, there's liable to be a certain amount of "flirtation" with the "other side" these days. But when Election Day approaches, never doubt the power of pastors and their flock to "mobilize the troops" and get 'em all headed in the "right direction"!

And that's how they operate in the south.

This is just More Republican trying to lower the vote turnout. They were unable to get there voter ID scam through the leg. in NC, so expect to see more nonsense like this. I agree that once people see Mr. Steal your pension and load you with debt Romney for what he is they will turn the other way.

Partially. The Mormons used to believe that God cursed someone and turned him black. This was a common "biblical legend". There is nothing in the Bible to support this belief. Blacks were not allowed to be priests in the Mormon church until some time in the 70s. However, this does not mean that any individual Mormon is a racist.
