Wow.

It is absolutely true. Never understood it. I've heard a lot of reasons for it, but just don't believe it.

Remember when Chik-fil-A was in all that hot water about gay marriage? There were AAs lined up around the block to buy Chik-fil-A on those support days.

From Huff Post:

That rift was once again brought to light when it was reported that black voters in North Carolina voted for Amendment 1 — which defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman — by a 2-to-1 margin. Ultimately, the measure won with 61 percent of the vote, prompting Gov. Bev Perdue to say she was embarrassed, and that the vote made the state “look like Mississippi.”

Similarly, in 2008, when California passed the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8, 70 percent of blacks voted in favor according to one poll, compared to 53 percent of Latinos, 49 percent of whites and 49 percent of Asians.

Not really that wondrous. The African American population has a large contingent of solid church goers. And as we know, the group of people who follow the man that preached "love thy neighbor like you love thy self" overwhelmingly thinks that does not apply to gay people for some reason.

Republicans are only against Obama. That's it. They have no real ideology, just a desire for power.

And I suppose the Dems are altruistic in their desire for power.

They're more likely to flip on issues to keep power.
