What hasn't been "done to death" on this board?

I don't see any one who disagrees with this subject a bigot in any way shape or form. I see them as people sticking to their own principles, and will not waiver for anyone or even the media.
We don't have to like anyone's decision on this matter, we are no judges, people have that right to their own feelings that does not make one a bigot. It is just they have their own reasoning on their beliefs, and no one will change their mind, i find that refreshing in a way.
For those of us who accept it, good for us, for those who stick to their own beliefs on this subject, good for you, for you won't let anyone not even the media change your mind.
The majority of people i know, truly are not accepting of it, with a small portion mainly younger friends accepting of it.

Did you look to see what the other minority groups in North Carolina did, or is it only important to continue to obsess over what black folks are doing? Anything to charge blacks with bigotry so as to make you feel justified about your own feelings.

I swear, it's amazing how many productive hours you guys spend obsessing over the lives of blacks even down to how they vote. Don't you have anything else to do?

And yes...blacks are still gonna vote for Obama.

Tough one.
When people point out your racism, do you get a dumbstruck look on your face or do you embrace it?

There is nothing tough about it whatsoever.

You're feigning ignorance. You know damn well what the decision will be, and Romney aint it.

The reason they'll vote for Obama could be because he's black, or because he's a Democrat, or because they simply like the way he walks.

But their vote isn't your business regardless. Worry about YOUR vote!

Of course its his business! For goodness sake, the rest of us sure get our voting motives picked apart and analyzed!

Are you asking me, or the writers at Politico?

Why not? The media tells us all about blacks and their lives 24/7. Don't get your panties in a bunch when the thing your side created comes back on you.

True, but there are other religions that feel just as strong if not stronger about homosexuality, so it's much more than just black Christians.

Just another "Black people this" article/post.
And about 10% at most of the primary electorate, even if every single black voter had voted against, it still would've passed.
