We conservatives have a remarkable opportunity here to forge an alliance with the black community....at least a good chunk of it.

Let’s embrace their love of this truth: God’s design for marriage are what we ought to follow as a nation.

Pandering to Blacks is a waste of time.

Unfortunately, all they have to do is see the vicious hatred of blacks — displayed right here on FR — and conclude that conservatives are not anyone they want to be associated with.

We always have opportunities... but yes, here especially.

Yup. The motives and long term goals of our allies don’t need to be the same for us to work together on a short term goal we do agree with.

Martin Luther’s legacy is about black rights. It has nothing to do with gay special rights.

Two black members of the Ypsilanti MI city council shut down a resolution to join a lawsuit in favor of gay marriage about a week ago.

The media won’t touch this and 95% of the population will never hear about it.

‘vicious hatred of blacks here on FR ‘ - in a pig’s eye. You are so wrong.

Obama tries to inspire racial hatred both ways.

He only succeeds with the weak.

Gratuitous generalizations and relevant criticism, but not necessarily hatred.

Name names BL. I don’t know anyone here who hates blacks. I hate black violence the same as I hate white/Asian/Martian violence. I call BS on that one.

Looks like M.L. King already died in vain. He said ‘a person should be judged by his character, not the color of his skin’. Nobody pays any attention to him now, certainly not O’bummer.
