Agreed. I was visiting online with some friends last night, several of whom are black. One said that this was a “tangible reason” for blacks to not vote for Obama. He said they probably won’t vote for Romney, but they won’t turn out for Obama in nearly the numbers they did in 2008.
And I agree as well. A good friend of mine (happens to be African-American) told me that blacks really resent the way gays constantly compare themselves to the civil rights movement of the 1950’s and 60’s. Blacks view that as THEIR struggle, rightly so in my opinion, and they do not care for the way a bunch of privilged white folks of bad moral character are highjacking the civil right legacy for their dubious purposes.
That works for me.
