BINGO. You said it. It's much easier for people to focus on black voters for passing prop 8. People don't want to analyze the complex situation because it's much easier to pin the blame on blacks. There were a number of variables involved in the passage of prop 8.

49% of whites voted for prop 8. Whites make up almost 6x the number of blacks in the electorate in California.

49% of Asians voted for prop 8. Asians make up almost 2x the number of blacks in the electorate in California.

53% of Hispanics voted for prop 8. Hispanics make up almost 6x the number of blacks in the electorate in California.


Yet blacks are the ones that are taking the heat. It's all because of some stupid exit poll that can't be all that reliable anyway. Exit polls are notoriously inaccurate and the blacks are taking heat.

Blacks are only 7% of the population and unfortunately the media and nefarious people have made it seem like 7% of California imposed their will on the other 93% of the population. It's absolutely absurd and offensive.
