Monster 62 I don't know why that West Hollywood crowd are all pissed off at blacks because they voted 70% in support of proposition 8. The reaction they are having toward blacks, etc. is "exactly" why they voted the way they did.
Everyone knows those Gays up in Weho are some of the most "racist" group of people unless it benefits "them". Here's some advice West Hollywood Group or Gay's. How about trying to treat people the way you want to be treated.
If you all want Prop 8 passed one day and get the support -- how about getting the support of these other "groups" and help them understand why they should support your cause.
Calling people names and using the "slave derogatory word" won't get you anywhere. If anything it will make people vote against you. Final word, take "no one's vote" for granite.
Hatred and ignorance has no place in America anymore! If you want "America" to change -- you have to start in your own house first.
Radical California Gays Lash Out at Mormons, Catholics & N***ers

The protesters were marching to the Mormon Church which supported Proposition 8, the ballot measure that banned gay marriage, local media reported. (REUTERS/Danny Moloshok) And, now this...

Someone better get the office of the President-Elect on the line. The Left is having more of a meltdown, than a love in on the heels of his having arisen.
Can't we all just try to get along?
The backlash is upon us, and it's going to get uglier unless our organizations step forward and say something. The desire to scapegoat blacks for Prop 8's defeat has exposed the now not-so-latent racism in our movement.
Pardon me. I have to run out and see if the oceans have started to lower, yet. ...
Unable to Come to Grips With Defeat, Angry Militant Gays Lash Out at Blacks
JammieWearingFool —
It's getting ugly in California. The forces of tolerance and diversity are flipping out over the overwhelmingly liberal state putting a halt to gay marriage. It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks. YOU NIGGER, one man shouted at men. If your people want to call me a FAGGOT, I will call you a nigger . Someone else said same thing to me on the next block near the temple...me and my friend were walking, he is also gay but Korean, and a young WeHo clone said after last night the niggers better not come to West ...

‘No’ on Prop 8 — and ‘No’ on Race-Baiting

... to us, and there is work to be done here that hasn’t been done.
Second, religion is the overwhelming factor in Prop 8’s win, in terms of organizing, funding, and voting. Since it’s not going anywhere, we have to take a more serious approach to religious voters. And, yes, their leaders make bank off homophobia, but we’re going to have to be more creative. No writing off fundies as idiots allowed - they get votes too.
Last word goes to Pam Spaulding (h/t):

Prop. 8 Opponents Now Go After Blacks As Well
PoliGazette —
... Well, quite some gay activists seem to disagree: many of them have now launched a massive campaign against blacks as well, accusing them of a lack of ‘compassion’ and ‘tolerance.’ Blacks walking down the street were herassed for being anti-tolerance, even though some of them were carrying “no to prop. 8″ signs with them. When they said they opposed Proposition 8, they were simply told that “their people” are inherently intolerant and hateful. ...

Neither group has an exclusive claim upon the public square, and we are all Americans, with the right to live our own lives, free from harassment. I'm not making an argument for living in the closet, or straightening one's hair for reasons other than personal preference: just that we all calm down a bit and stop trying to force others to live according to our own moral codes.

... to Pam Spaulding's post -- " The N-bomb is dropped on black passersby at Prop 8 protests ," I was shocked. I won't quite the epithets, but to see such awful hatred directed by people who obsessively claim to be against "hate" -- against members of a minority which has suffered more hate than any other group in American history -- forces me to ask some basic questions about tolerance, diversity, and humanity. Sometimes I wonder whether the dirty little secret is that we all hate each other, and that what is often derided as "civilization" is the only thing that keeps us in ...
Stop Scapegoating Black People for Proposition 8
The Moderate Voice —
... Before we give Religious Right leaders more reasons to rejoice by deepening the divisions they have worked so hard to create between African Americans and the broader progressive community, let’s be clear about who is responsible for gay couples in California losing the right to get married, and let’s think strategically about a way forward that broadens and strengthens support for equality.

... question their tax-exempt status.
Think of what the millions of dollars poured into California's Prop 8 effort could have done on to help the homeless, the working poor, the people suffering in the imploding economy. Instead, here we see professed people of faith turning a blind eye to the less fortunate to focus on obliterating the separation of church and state using bigotry.
If it's bad PR for the churches, they brought it upon themselves.

... America." Can there be any doubt about the Muslim position on gay marriage? While there are no statistics on the Muslim vote, I would be flabbergasted if support for gay marriage mustered more than the single digits. Yet Mormons have been singled out as bigots. That's because it's wrong to bash Muslims, silly: even when they are enslaving women, carving away their genitals, and killing them more or less at whim. Don't you know anything? The Pam Spaulding post we've been quoting is here. I read Eric's post yesterday, of course because he linked me and considered responding, ...

It's hard to know where to start -- the ignorant white gay man who shouted obscenities, or the offended black gay man who responded by labeling the entire gathering as "a klan rally." Or, for that matter, the fact that only the reactive bigotry of the black gay student went unchallenged or even commented on by Rod himself or Pam Spaulding, who subsequently posted the same snippit on her blog. How depressing, then, that it took the National Review to ...

Comments from Left Field —
... overlooks black LGBTs, secular blacks, those with high levels of education — those who did vote against 8. Did these folks turn in their Negro card when they lost their homophobia? It’s absurd thinking.
But acknowledging this that would render this op-ed’s hysteria useless, facts and logic are inconvenient. It’s amazing how intelligent people can so easily fall prey to their own biases, and display them so publicly.
