But YOU WOULD THINK, given what they experienced the past 3-4 centuries, blacks would be more open-minded to the gay community and support their fight against the institutional prejudices they face.
Instead, I give the people of my race too much credit. And the sad part is they only blindly reference the bible when someone asks them why they're against gay marriage.
That is direct result of many Black Americans being influenced by Christianity which preaches bigotry against homosexuals as a standard practice.
The reality is that issue of same sex marriage is simply not a big enough issue for most Black Americans to stop supporting President Obama. Especially since the Republican Party is the party of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Dr. Laura Schlesinger.
Sorry the argument was made and there's not much else you can do to change it. Like it or not, some simply see homosexuality as devient "behavior." And what you find "irrelevent" isn't going to change the fact that you don't have the right to practice whatever it is that you want. Kick, holler, scream, cry and take your ball and go play somewhere else, but the fact remains--you simply don't have that right. Period. Have a problem with that? Oh well, call it "unconsitutional" and take it to court and see if you can win.
Well it would seem that's EXACTLY what happened with Proposition 8 in California. It was taken to court and overturned. That ruling was upheld but the U.S. Court of Appeals and now it's going to the Supreme Court.
The argument used to overturn Proposition 8 was legally elegant, compelling and based on constitutional law.
Be careful what you ask for. If the Supreme Court upholds the lower court ruling there is a very good chance that ALL of the current state level bands on same sex marriage will be ruled unconstitutional.
Dr. Martin Luther King would be mistreated by White people just like he was back then.
You guys have your nerve coming on CD insulting blacks and mentioning Martin Luther King in the same sentence.
