and I'm not either. I just don't think the goal of reversing Prop 8 specifically and more generally opening peoples minds to equality for all is served by this. Numerically, FAR, FAR more Whites voted against it that Blacks. Obsessing over one statistic like this, rather than the overwhelming number of other voters who are also responsible, seems to say more about those doing the obsessing than anything else.

And as I said before, this pigeonholing is misdirected energy which can actually push away supporters and potential supporters, who are the exact people we need to reach. It seems to be at odds with the goal of undoing the damage of Prop 8.
