Reply #51: Maybe it's a generational thing [View All]

But being 54, having lived in Jim Crow Mississippi as a child and growing up in the days of blatant, uncoded racism against blacks, I find it very uncomfortable and dangerous when blacks are made a scapegoat. My point has been that it's the religious that voted for 8, doesn't matter what ethnic group or race. If blacks as a group attend church more than whites (let's suppose, although I have no statistics if that's true) then they will be more strongly against gay marriage because the message that homosexuality is a sin is drummed into them in sermons and religious media, not to mention right-wing talk shows.
