The correlation Cloud notes between the significant black voter turn out to help elect Obama also spelled doom for the misnomered "marriage equality." That correlation appears to be well-supported by the statistics contained in his article. So for those of us who for political reasons, rather than ignorant racial prejudices, were opposed to Obama's left-leaning socialism we can find some silver lining in the post election results. Gay marriage was defeated in one of the most liberal states in the Union, my native state of California. With that political score, for the first time in a long time, I am glad to claim my birth-place.
The statistics as given by CNN, suggests that African-Americans by a margin of 69-31 percent voted against so-called "marriage equality." In large part this margin is a reflection, according to the article, that African-Americans are more likely to attend to church than whites.
With all this said, there is one salient point that needs to be made. If the statistics are true and I have no reason to believe they are NOT for they are statistics of the left-leaning Obama supported cable news provider CNN. It proves African-Americans voted the race card electing one of the most liberal men ever to ascend to the Presidency ONLY because he was black. The same black vote that helped Obama get elected was the same vote that defeated one of the many things of the liberal agenda he supported. Namely, the misnomered "marriage equality" for homosexuals. By the way, "marriage equality" is pure subterfuge - it is not equality that the homosexuals want it is special rights they crave for their narcissitic world-view.
