I just want to say the next time a black person gets up and talks about being oppressed or the white man doing them wrong. I will laugh and say oh well, it doesnt feel good to be treated different does it.
It is an odd dichotomy. The group with the most recent history of being discriminated against en masse is the group mostly likely to discriminate against gays.
Leaders of the civil rights movement were closely tied to churches, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. It's likely a cultural thing.
Of course its his business! For goodness sake, the rest of us sure get our voting motives picked apart and analyzed!
No one is questioning my motives. Speak for yourself. I'm the last person you want to ask about who i'm voting for, believe me. And most definitely don't ask me WHY!

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.
The media? What media? And nothing is coming back on me. Especially nothing coming from YOU. You aren't capable.

Fascination with black folks that they simply don't own up to but it's glaringly obvious.
The backlash over this one is coming. BO's taking the black vote for granted, again. Big mistake and I'm very thankful that he is. I know blacks that are christian that voted for him. It was not even 2010 yet, and my one friend told me that she could not even watch the news anymore. She said he was doing things that she was not in agreement on. She sounded dismayed and very disappointed, discouraged in fact.
The very liberal Hawaiian islands have a staunch family thing going, and a ton of Mormons. I lived there and voted with them against gay marriage or civil unions. I can't even recall the wording of the thing but to the average layman either wording would of course get the same vote and it went down by seventy-percent or something really high like that. Yet, the legislators forced it upon Hawaii so far as civil union, and it's so new that the next election should be very interesting there on Oahu.

Blacks will still vote in the same numbers for Obama, and so will Hawaiians.
They vote against gay marriage because they know how important marriage is, and they have witnessed the devastation that the decline in marriage has done to the black community. either that, or they are just mean old bigots.
Call it what you want, but most blacks from my experience see homosexuality as taboo, or something "white people do", like jet skiing or rock climbing.
I can only honestly think of a few who are indifferent to the idea and none of which are in favor of full acceptance of it. Those who are indifferent have more a tolerence for it than anything. But most from what I can tell are ardently against it.
Black people voting 2-1, 3-1, or 4-1 against same sex marriage. It means nothing. Obama will still get 92% of the black vote in NC.
Just like Clinton got 90% of the black vote in America back in 92.
Now think republicans, if you'd only lose the stereotyping and the constantly father vs son role in how you treats blacks maybe they'll vote for you.
But you guys aren't smart enough for that, stick to oversized guns, religion and bigotry.
