yeah, indeed. that's what i argued on dkos -- because if one runs the numbers, in fact 100% of black voters could have voted NO on prop 8, and it would still have passed. it's disappointing that 70% of blacks voted NO, but that points out to me that there's probably not been enough education, not enough outreach from the GLBT into the black community.
i am seeing a lot of angry racist slurs right now from gays directed at blacks. not good. being at each other's throats distracts us from who's really doing this to us.
