Obama made several references to gay rights in his speech today. He also compared Selma to Stonewall. Civil rights marches to fight color based segregation were compared to a hissyfit when police shut down a mob run speakeasy.
For this nightmare to equate the civil rights struggle (which was deep in its organization inside the traditional black Christian churches, in the South and the North) is an unbelievable insult. An insult to black fatherhood and traditional leadership, from those who would destroy this family or really any family. Black Christian ministers and churches consider male homosexuality to be an abomination, contrary to Biblical teachings (which it is).
There needs to be reaction gotten from the black Christian leaders.. the real ones not the Rev. Wrights. They have to be absolutely freaked out about this further assault on the struggling black family. The calculation is that the welfare queens/kings living on the govt. teat will be offset by this subsidized welfare state and will ignore ANY affront to masculinity and real fathers as leaders.
In NC the anti-gay marriage vote was supported strongly in the deeply Christian black churches. This formed part of the cultural basis, along with appalling unemployment and ridiculous taxation, for the complete Republican conservative takeover after more than 100 years democrat control, of the NC House, Senate and now governor. There is a real lesson here, and that is this homo agenda is a failure from the outset. Couple this with the double digit unemployment in male blacks under obamaomau, and the Christian conservative blacks have to be outraged as they wake up to what they would not support locally, but perhaps did nationally and this is what they got.
