1. Rachel Maddow made a good point that it appears this has more to do with education than race.
If you look at the numbers the less education a person had the more likely they were to support proposition 8, while those with more education were more likely to oppose it regardless of their race.

2. The truth about black people is:
Black people are individuals, not some monolithic cookie cutter media created image.

As you get to know people, regardless of race, you realize some are homophobic and some are not. That's just the truth.

Anytime you throw fundamentalist right wing "Christianity" into the mix, skin color goes out the window and knees jerk.
