I have been reading and hearing who's the blame about the passing of Prop 8. Yes the numbers show that Blacks and Latinos were the big supporters. But before this game gets too big. I still want to push the deeper issue, which is religion.
| Religion drove the folks to vote for Prop 8, yes hate and foolishness too, but religion played a stronger role here. It's no secret how Christians, Mormons, and other groups view us. | |
| We are lost causes, demons, abominations, spawns and everything else in the book. I wasn't too surprised at the results. I knew 'the power of Christ' would come through, but I guess I'm a little shocked at the blame thrown at us. I am disappointed in my people, but I understand their warp sense of reason.They think they were serving God, but in reality they were warped by religious mess.
But I have to ask, did we forget to go into the Black and Latino communities to campaign? I remember seeing more campaigning in Beverly Hills than Crenshaw. And there wasn't a lot education about Prop 8 in the hood, except from the churches, and we saw how that went. So I'll stop there, because there are several reason why this happen. And think we need to have a minute to really look into other possibilities instead of looking at the easy ones. | |
