Polls Show Sudden Increase in Black Support for Gay Marriage

Recent polls show increasing support for same-sex marriage among blacks. A national exit poll by Edison Research shows that black voters favored their state legalizing gay marriage, 51 to 41 percent. Pew polls have also showed an increase from 36 percent in 2011 to 44 percent last month supporting gay marriage.

According to the exit poll conducted by Edison Research on behalf of the NEP, 51 percent of black voters said their states should legally recognize same-sex marriage, compared with 47 percent of whites who favored this idea. It's a big shift considering that in 2011, the Pew Research Center found that only 36 percent of blacks favored legalizing gay marriage, compared with 49 percent of whites supporting it.

A Pew survey found last month that long-standing racial differences in attitudes toward gay marriage were narrowing. Consistently over the past decade, blacks have been far less supportive of legalizing gay marriage than whites. But the latest survey found blacks divided more evenly on this issue than in the past, with 44 percent in favor and 39 percent opposed to allowing gay marriage. Among whites, 49 percent favored and 41 percent opposed same-sex marriage.

These survey results come even as Maine, Maryland and Washington State legalized gay marriage through ballot measures on Election Day. Additionally, voters in Minnesota, which prohibits same-sex marriage, rejected a measure to add the prohibition to the state's constitution.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the nation's oldest African-American civil rights group, voted in May to support a resolution endorsing same-sex marriage at its board meeting in Miami, Fla. "The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure political, social and economic equality of all people," Roslyn M. Brock, chairman of the Board of Directors of the NAACP, said in a statement. "We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law."

Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, said in a statement, "Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law. The NAACP's support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people. The well-funded right wing organizations who are attempting to split our communities are no friend to civil rights, and they will not succeed."

Many from the black community remain against same-sex marriage. The Coalition of African-American Pastors has been vocal in their opposition to President Obama's support for gay marriage and a group of well-known African Americans, including Dr. Alveda King, launched the "God Said" campaign this year in support of the biblical definition of marriage, between one man and one woman.

The Rev. William Owens, Jr., head of the "Mandate for Marriage" initiative and son of the Rev. William Owens, Sr., the founder and president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP), had recently stressed the importance of the issue in the election.

"It's only going to increase because the very core of America is founded upon Judeo-Christian beliefs. That's debatable to some people but you can't do away with history," Owens, Jr. told The Christian Post earlier. "When you begin to take on those core values you begin to take on what's the core for America. So when more and more begin to realize what is getting ready to happen, it's going to have to become an issue if we want to save our country."

He added that the time had come for a broad-based assault against the powers that want to change America's culture to one of men marrying men and women marrying women.

And on a brighter note, it will be much harder for them to reproduce and add more voters to the democratic rolls.

Not until we control public education.

Sheep vs. goats.

The goats might have won the battle, but they won’t win the war.

In the end, there will be some rats very sorry they followed Pided Piper Barry into Hell.

Push polling, most likely, but it will work. Blacks are the most manipulable group in America. Can you guess which demographic is second? Clue: it’s not a race.

[rintense]

Close, black women.

[1010RD]

Right. The anti-slavery party, the party of liberty is the cause of all this misery. Cloward–Piven were right. William Jennings Bryan’s fabian socialists have won the day and it started with Andy Jackson. We lost our media, our schools and through them our elites all for good intentions.

"What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

 

The first stage being "demoralization".

 

It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism."

Now slavery is terribly wrong, make no bones about it,

Leviticus 25:39-55 & Deuteronomy 15:1-9.

And when you understand that system as such, and realize that the only difference between slavery and the welfare state as we know it is individual ownership with accountability v. collective ownership with none, then answer this: How is the latter not socialism that leads to tyranny?

There truly are people out there incapable of managing themselves. Should our incompetent brethren be the property of a state bureaucracy beholden to those in power or the responsibility of individuals subject to punishment for mistreatment?

The problem is this: we have forever interpreted the idea of indenture in terms of how it was done in the American South, European serfdom, Arab brutality, the Romans, Mongols, etc. In principle, it doesn't have to be that way. Yet with a socialized underclass empowered to vote, we now see them voting according to the preference of the very rich, which is to collectivize ALL property under a state they control. Perhaps that is why it is taught otherwise in the Torah?

I know this is a volatile thing to write, but upon reflection, I am beginning to realize the long-term consequences of the social welfare state are that NO ONE has responsibility for the poor, an ever expanding class of indentured constituency.

In principle, if state officials mistreat wards of the state they ought to be liable to punishment beyond the mere political. But this is talking about people who have a real reason to be such wards (e.g. they are insane, or they are imprisoned for some crime).

It’s just senseless to expect the state to be everybody’s nanny. The state doesn’t possess the wisdom and a wise state (oxymoron?) would understand that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What do you mean “feel”... it’s a guess not a feeling. Why have the American freedmen of 1865 led the charge to be re-enslaved, although this time around led in with honey rather than with vinegar? Are they looking at the Halfrican and saying yes, this is the Negro King we ought to have been looking forward to all along?

Jews are under constant Satanic attack on account of the covenant that God made with the Hebrew people. Satan gins up any excuse he can to get others to attack them. Some of the opprobrium they get might be explained on an earthly level by the more religious of them being rigid in moral principles and therefore making the gentiles look bad by comparison, but many of the Jews targeted in the Holocaust lived very loose, secular lives and were a moral reproach to nobody else.

[Carry_Okie]

Nasty systemic problem, isn't it?

Take a look at this example examining how the Biblical system was supposed to work. It is much more subtle, capable, and substantial than people realize.

[NCC-1701]

I will NEVER, EVER look at or trust any poll regarding anything the rest of my life. The last election cycle did it for me. NEVER AGAIN!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, the polls we all hooted at showed the Halfrican with an edge due to predicting a disproportionately heavy Democrat turnout. Now we saw their turnout theories were more correct that wrong. Rasmussen reflected more a situation that would occur if there were a universal mandatory plebiscite.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I mean, more correct THAN wrong

Isn’t AIDS rising fastest among black men?

Don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised.OTOH,I recently visited the Centers For Disease Control website and found that two-thirds of new syphilis infections in this country are contracted by homosexual men.So less than 1% of the nation's population has two-thirds of the syphilis.

Despicable!

That was a real magazine cover that came out a few months ago (maybe Newsweek?). The article was about women who are choosing to nurse their children well beyond what’s the norm. But yes, I trust the pic posted here is Photoshopped and not “lovingly recreated” by Obozo and The Race Hustler. Erf.
