It's hard to know sometimes when you're serious and when you're saying something tongue in cheek because you're so all over the board consistency wise that it's tough to know where you stand.
I made a comment yesterday about how erked I am at the huge proportion of blacks that voted to discriminate against the gay minority in California, as well as the other Christians who did so. The profoundly distrubing thing to me isn't the fact that Christian evangelicals voted in such high numbers against the rights of gay Americans, but that blacks (who one would expect be among the most sensitive to such things) did so as well.
I want your thoughts on this. There are a lot of people in this country I would categorize as being "slaves to religion" and African Americans certainly aren't alone in that category. What makes their vote on this so upsetting is precisely the willingness of the black community in California to wield the stick of oppression against a minority they dislike. It's really heart breaking.
What are your thoughts?
