Yeah, there's something "painfully transparent" all right. You're missing it rather conveniently, however.

Whether or not A is the correct thing to do is, as I illustrated, completely independent of whether or not someone who does A is acting from ulterior motives.

I wish I could say I agree, but I see the institution of marriage going down the drain, together with the family, and the Constitution, and the black community is doing nothing to help stop that.

Do you know of any community, (other than that of the church), ... which is ?
The impression the article tries to give is that the black community is uniformly opposed to gay marriage. My point is that they are not so opposed to it that they are willing to do anything about it.

The truth is that this election will tell the tale.
The vast majority of polled blacks will testify to a vocal opposition to gay marriage.
How this translates into votes will be another matter.
I would suspect that there will be blacks who will be pulled over to Bush solely over the gay marriage issue. But I predict that these numbers won't be anything overwhelming.
I've experienced the same frustration with the black vote versus the predominate black opinion on the issue of abortion.
It's the classic case of having to choose between voting for one's own (presumed) self-interests vs. voting based on principle.
The problem is that black loyalty to the Dem party trumps every other issue. That is why our generation is doomed to be governed by Democrats who have no clue how a government should be run. It also presents a very grave risk that democracy in America will ultimately go the way of the dodo.
Explain? Why do you say that?
But does this mean it is held in low regard? If that is the case how about people that get married one day and divorce the next as a joke (prevelant in the white community). Is this behavior holding marriage in high regard?
Thanks for your comments. This is more factual to the reason that blacks dislike the gay issue. It is interesting to read the generalities stated about blacks like they don't believe in marriage and they all have children by different men. I guarantee you that middle class blacks are not like this. Yet this is the same board that's asking blacks to vote as republicans. Kinda like saying all whites marry and then divorce the next day or so, have been married more than once and therefore disregard marriage.
Actually most blacks disagree with it; however, there are greater issues. Doesn't stop the fact that they disagree with it. Doesn't mean they can stop it either, if they could they would be miracle workers.
