Marriage is not even a significant institution in the black community. Most likely it is because they don't want gays competing with them for civil rights attention.

"Why are blacks, who know so well the reality of discrimination, so uniformly unsympathetic to the case that the gay community is making?" That question is raised by Star Parker, a black evangelical, in a column for Scripps Howard News Service. She says that the main reason is that the civil-rights movement depended on objective moral truth. Homosexual marriage, on the contrary, depends on a rejection of objective moral truth.

That's nailing the issue good! The gay rights thing is largely a white liberal goal, and it must be really galling to blacks to watch attempts to link a sexual perversion cause to civil rights for black Americans.

"It is not just that they know when their movement is being hijacked," she quotes Wilfred McClay, history professor at the University of Tennessee, as saying. "It is that the religious sensibility that animated the civil-rights movement, and that is still very much alive in the American black community today, is bound up in a biblical worldview that would no more countenance the radical redefinition of marriage than it would the re-imposition of slavery."

In fact, the same moral failings that gave us slavery and segregation also have given us the concept of homosexual marriage. You might just as well try to re-impose slavery using the same rationale, by couching it in terms of a struggle for someone's "rights."

Another reason for Black Americans to come over to the Republican side. We welcome your vote, while the Democrats give lip service.

1. The Democrats OPPOSED the Civil Rights Amendments.
2. The Democrats OPPOSED The SCHOOL VOUCHERS to help
educate the minorities.
3. The Democrats SUPPORT the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA.

NEED WE SAY ANY MORE!

Homosexual Agenda/"Gay" marriage and why it is wrong Ping.

There is so much that is hitting the Truth Target in this article. Read it, keep it, email it, and take a stack of copies to church, meetings, and so on.

A Tripe Star Article!

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

A couple of good quotes:

"Homosexual marriage, on the contrary, depends on a rejection of objective moral truth."


"It is that the religious sensibility that animated the civil-rights movement, and that is still very much alive in the American black community today, is bound up in a biblical worldview that would no more countenance the radical redefinition of marriage than it would the re-imposition of slavery."


"They know that the root problem is the implicit de-legitimization and marginalization in the United States today of traditional standards of right and wrong."

And I really like this statement:

"Concepts such as justice, freedom, and human rights depend on a worldview that recognizes transcendent, objective, moral truths. If morality is just something that we can construct and reconstruct according to our own preferences, as postmodernists believe, then justice, freedom, and human rights will be in jeopardy. To reject universal teachings about sexual morality and to presume to redefine marriage to include homosexual relationships may seem kind and tolerant. But that comes with a horrible price, the repudiation of the very moral framework that makes kindness and tolerance possible."

Basic, true, bullseye.

This really surprised me, as most blacks are not concerned over suporting abortion and infanticide, which is the main tenant of the Democrat Party. Perhaps because the Democrats are holding back in endoresing gay marriage, it gives them a way out.
