First link...

Headline says "Blacks object to gay marriage comparison". Read past the headline and you find, "conservative blacks are objecting" and the source is ONE MINISTER and "Alvin Williams, president and CEO of the conservative Black America's Political Action Committee."

So one minister and a GOP sell out equals the entire African-American community? There's more Blacks supporting Gay Rights than against Gay Rights quoted IN THIS ARTICLE. Braun, Sharpton, Sinkford, Garrow all support gay rights. So 4 Blacks quoted for gay rights in this article and 2 GOP toadies against gay rights in this article, and you and the article claim that means the African-American community is against gay rights? Hogwash.

Second link...

You didn't even freakin read it. It's the exact same article as the first with a different headline.

Third link...

A 4 sentence blog post with one quote from one black minister about how slavery affected the Black families of the slavery era is evidence showing Blacks are against gay rights? You ARE kidding, right?

Fourth link...

The last poll shows African-Americans are MIDDLE OF THE PACK among groups, with a little more support among African-Americans for Gay Rights than Protestants as a whole.
