@iShutEmUp Funny you mention religion when slavery was justified using Christian principles as well. It was widely accepted at the time that blacks were inferior to whites by design, and to advocate equality was to go against the natural order of things. Quakers and Abolitionists were considered people who went against God's will. How ironic that the same is said about gay rights advocates today.
@UNLebanon Oh, no, I wasn't endorsing that crazy ass religion.
I was just saying that people were trying to blame Black Americans in general for their stance against homosexuality, when they're missing the big picture that they're, for the most part, Protestant.
And Protestants, in general, are against homosexuality. So, to focus on one group of Protestants to criticize would be pointless.
I'm black AND gay, so let me assure you how VERY similar the discrimination is. I remember my parents driving us out of state to a family reunion and not being able to go inside of certain gas stations. I was 6, so it was 1984.. The 80's!!! I remember my parents driving next to KKK rallies. I've faced REAL racial prejudice, but it pales in comparison to the anti gay bigotry I've faced by other blacks. Btw... One of Dr MLK's biggest mentors and contributors was a gay, black man.
Funny video!! Blacks were discriminated against, and in return, they discriminate against others lol!! Lesson not learned. Lol
Stop all the hatred and focus on YOUR fatherless homes, rappers as "heroes", black on black violence, and welfare dependency. Marriage equality is the least if your "problems". All people are equal, black, white, straight, or gay.
On Obama's next term. Gay marraige will get approved. I'm just stating this as a fact because it's pretty obvious. That statement has nothing to do with my personal beliefs (which are the opposite of popular opinion) and it has nothing to do with if I want obama back. But I mean, we all know that he wants it passed. And it will get passed his next term.
The reason why the majority of blcks voted for prop 8 is because the hard truth is that the far majority of blacks are gay!!!!!!!!! The statistics clearly prove this. Stats show that over 80 percent of black males have homosexual relations, but will not admit to it.
Homosexual relations-meaning actually having sex between two men, including oral and anal sex and both parties are consenting. It is a well known fact that homosexuality is FAR MORE common in the black community than the white community. This is the reason why the black community is vastly more homophobic.
The last time I checked, black women have the highest rates of AIDS in America due to the fact that their black husbands are on the "down low" and not even telling their wives. Homosexuality is much more common in blacks than it is in whites, however whites are vastly more tolerant of same sex equality. (again think of the term, "down low" common in the black community). This also explains why blacks are not found in jobs like firefighting, law enforcement, military, etc.
The passing of prop 8 shows that we aren't really a country that is based upon the principles of liberty, pro-choice, entitlement to equal rights, and justice. Unfortunately it is the other way around. =( It's very sad that we are the land of hypocrisy, but hopefully something will be done to adress the issue.
Hey 72% of black chilldren are born illegetimatly. I guess black people dont believe in marriage for hetros or Homos. So I guess its O.k. Hey they are church going people. They feel its wrong to be gay but its o.k. to make chilldren and not be responsible for them. Yes black familly values.
In fact, new census estimates released last week show that among the 3,200-plus counties in the nation, only 24 have more than a third of their households consisting of married-couple families with young children. Eight of those 24 are in Utah.
Two types of U.S. counties tend to have large numbers of married-couple families with children under age 18, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. One is wealthy suburbs. The other: counties in Utah.
A spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Friday that it's too soon to know whether the tabernacle is a total loss. But those who saw the damage were not optimistic.
"It would be so tremendously expensive, I fear that it's almost an impossibility," said D. Robert Carter, a historian from Springville who first visited the tabernacle in the 1940s to sing in a Primary choir during an LDS Stake conference. . .
@MountMarcyNY Your wrong its 72% Hey they really dont believe in marriage so it makes sense that they vote against gay marriage. If you are the biggest drug kingpin you are a hero in the black community but if you are gay you are the lowest thing there. Its o.k. to have sex out of marriage but being gay is a direct ticket to hell. Talk about stupid hypocracy.
That's great that the African Americans joined their fellow European American brothers and sisters in this fight to keep marriage what it is intended as. Good job guys!
This video makes me sick... "Protect marriage" means one thing, "we are afraid of what we don't know so we want to stop it from happening"... Just one thing, you can't stop people from being gay or wanting to be married... It's horrible that you can't respect homosexuals, you can't recognize them as equal, and you will do anything to not feel threatened by that which you do not understand... I am saddened this video got 80 likes... 80 people who hate what they can't accept or understand, so sad.
This is sick. A tribute to blacks for discriminating against a group that is different from them. Prop 8 showed that the african american community is as bad as everyone else. You would think that of all people, blacks would have a unique understanding of the plight of a people who are desperate for equal rights. But I guess not. What a sad day in american history this was. Sad...Sad...Sad
This sort of discrimination against gays is caused due to people 'believing' in god because their religion whether it be Islam or Christianity state gays are abominable, a SIN therefore they must be "... Put To Death".
It's sad how people can NOT marry whom they want. Free yourself from RELIGION and you shall be an open minded clear thinking person!
Don't you DARE use the race card to justify your hate. I had no one to turn to when I came out, and despite my plea my father, a born-again Christian insisted I could change. I have fought my parents, my school, my church, my peers and my community to be accepted and in the end I had to give it all away and start fresh.
Hrmm interesting Vid. I would like to see the Media and youtubers demonizepeople of dark complexion and make them take the heat for prop 8 the way they do LDS. They fear the backlash or what? Myhats off to you for the vid. It;s a great one. Glad to see people standing up for whats right in this Land.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Romans 1: 26 For this cause YHVH gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
@YesProp8 Listen if you think i support PROP 8 I really don't I made the mistake of siding with this video without seeing it all the way through. I do not support prop 8 and I'm glad it got over turned. No one has the right to practice their religion if it gets in the way of the happiness of others!
(1) Judge Walker’s decision is internally, logically inconsistent in its treatment of the worth of cultural values, arguing that morality and tradition are not a valid basis for supporting the legal status of marriage, but at the same time finding a Constitutional violation from the fact that the same-sex alternative (domestic partnerships) lacks the social and cultural status that marriage has…and which it derives from its grounding in longstanding moral, cultural and religious traditions;
I feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if we went back to the days of segragation etc. black people would be like bummed. They fort so hard for their rights etc. so they should be completely up for everyone else to have their own rights and if they are not, then basically they contradict everything that they apparently stand for.
Black people who would vote yes on this are stupid. Its a JIM CROW LAW! Wow. You people are ignorant. So back when blacks were told they couldnt be with any non whites your gonna turn around and dictate who can marry who? Your disgusting if your black and voted yes for this.
marriage is a contract between two people. Just because YOU believe it's a union between only a man and a woman, does not mean that it IS supposed to be. Anyone who is anti-gay marriage is a bigot or a closet bigot.
Yes on prop 8 is anti-civil rights, glad it has been overturned.
Not gay myself, but everyone on this planet should be able to live as they wish, so long as what they do does not infringe on the rights and freedoms as others.
So...you agree with niggers but not Black people? LMAO! Last time I checked, Africans were very tolerant of gay culture because Europe destroyed it. I don't consider Black Americans as Africans...I see then as a pack of niggers who are making decent black folk look bad. Christianity is a joke.
seattle policeman was beating the shit out of a pig (nigger woman who was jaywalking). He punched her in her nigger face because she was acting like a nigger, and now everybody is screaming RACISM! Give me a fucking break, you fucking niggers. Do you think you can get away with anything and cry racism? The worst, unforgivable mistake ever made in this country was allowing you to mix with real people. Segregation will save us.
Stating that i'm friends with gay people but i just don't want them to get married is like saying, im friends with black people i just want them to sit at the back of the bus.
The Mormon History Association, a nondenominational group, is holding its annual conference Thursday through Sunday at the Holiday Inn-CoCo Key Water Resort hotel in Kansas City, which is just seven miles from downtown Independence, where Joseph Smith, prophet and founding president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, endeavored to establish the center of the church in the early 1830s.
@Enigmafly13 I would NEVER say gay is the new black... what i did say is we have to fight for our rights i.e. protection under the law, equality in marriage, antidiscrimination laws ECT do any of these terms sound familiar? They should cause blacks had to fight for the same things... including the right to marry a white person... my god i would NEVER say gay is the new black... Gay is many different people groups, Black is, well... black... i feel kinda sorry for you...
the leaders of that movement should have never started it though because that is what we all heard. You guys would have had a better chance if that thing never started. because me personally have nothing against gays but i did however get a vendetta when i heard that.
And you dont have to feel sorry for me because i have a girl i bang every night...and day....and noon. hahaha
California voters approved Proposition 8 in November to define marriage in the state constitution as the exclusive union of a man and a woman. The initiative overturned a May 2008 ruling from the state Supreme Court that legalized same-sex "marriage."
The Chronicle reports that obtaining the memos was part of a strategy whereby Walker could throw out the voter-approved constitutional amendment without saying that the amendment in itself was unconstitutional.
Abraham H. Foxman, the National Director of the ADL, was in Utah this week and told the Deseret News Editorial Board Thursday morning that he had learned a lot during his meeting with six apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"We have a lot in common, Jews and Mormons," he said.
@omiolo But much more not in common,. Morons are the biggest bigots who always trash other faiths so they can dupe fools into joining theirs. Morons were big in Germany too b4 WW ll,
YOU come to a pro-marriage video to push YOUR ANTI-marriage nonsense and then you have the audacity to accuse OTHERS of annoying people? Time for YOU to leave your imaginary world!
@omiolo You should too, like the fake fraud you call Mormonism. Joe Smith was the Jim Jones of the 19th Century. total fake history & mind control. Wanna buy some special underwear?
@MountMarcyNY Yes they were. And I believe if memory serves me right, the only religious belief allowed to exist openly in Germany, was catholicism, was it not?
@TheReformed1 Not just Catholics, . The Nazis established an Aryan Church which was made up of elements of mainly the Lutheran Church. While many various clergymen were jailed or killed, no church was ever forbidden to operate. Their armed forces had clergymen all through the war
@MountMarcyNY However, it was due to a state created religion. If the clergymen, dared to preach the truth out of the bible, they were exterminated or tortured till they recanted.
@TheReformed1 The Catholics knew about the Holocaust, They could have told the world. Heck they all just about declared holy war against the Reds, excommunicating all Communists. But no such treatment for the Nazis since the Pope was more concerned about the Communists & saw the Nazis as sort of protector. Sorry it was hundreds of allied divisions, 100s of 1000s of planes, tanks, ships etc that beat the Nazis, not a bunch of church people; who most were friendly to the Nazis at first anyways.
"Every time I go and look for a shirt that is no more than four fingers down. I try to have sleeves longer. I try to find fabrics that aren't see-through. I try to get skirts at least down to my knees," said Arian Luke.
Lol, so much for civil rights huh? Pretty funny that a group of people that fought so long and hard for their own rights is so quick and happy to deny rights to others.
kind of sad a group of people that have had major issues with civil rights, would support taking away the civil rights of others.... what the harm in two adult, consenting people joining into a state-sponsored institution so they can take care of each other?
@omiolo yes and it's been proven that the former general LIED to congress. Which being that he was testifying before congress means that he perjured himself and should be punished.
By the way, it's "promised land" not "promise land".
As for vulgarity, vulgarity is black people voting for Prop 8.
Do you think that the white people who supported equal rights and affirmative action for black people actually thought of black people as equals? No, we did not. But we did it anyway because it was the right thing to do. Apparently you wouldn't know the right thing to do even when it's been lain out for you in plain English that a dull normal could understand.
@YesProp8 The Westboro Baptist Church shows up at funerals and cheers when our soldiers die. Why do Christians hate the troops?
See, anyone can stereotype, selectively choosing the worst behavior from their opponents and claiming that 'they're all like that.' But this is an immoral, dishonest tactic, and I hope you refrain from doing so in the future.
@frenhdude Dude Southern USA is always conservative and not a single southern state legalized gay marriage. California is very liberal but bigots voters voted for prop 8. i can't wait for the 2010 California ballot. They going to have a "repeal on prop 8" amendment.
Obama better figure out a way to do something Democratic, because if he doesn't he's not going to be re-elected. This gay boy won't be fooled again. Single Payer health care and equality for gay people by 2012, or it's time for Obama to go home.
As far as when black people were slave, its still not compatable. You can't change your color, gay people choose not to get help, there for it cannot be comapred. Get some help.
@sessakag You can't choose not to be gay. You either are or your aren't. Just like those who can't choose to not be heterosexual. There isn't any help for heterosexuality. If you can honestly choose to be homosexual and act on it and be in a relationship then and only then can you even begin to say it's a choice.
I'm surprised the African Americans could vote Yes on Prop 8,
I hope they remember when they where fighting for equal rights. Look at South Africa, Gays and Lesbians can marry and the constitution of South Africa protects same sex couples. It was Nelson Mandela that added that clause. He faught for equal rights and followed that to the end. As a Gay Married, South African, I'm deeply sadden about you lot.
The fight blacks went through cannot be compared to what homos think they are going through. It is simply not the same and as a black person I am offended that you would even try to go that route. You cannot change your race, however you can seek help for homosexuality. There is no excuse for the perversion of homosexuality. None at all.
@Enigmafly13 As a matter of fact, yes... i dont understand how a group of peopel who have been marginalized ,mistreated, and denied their human rights, would turn around and do the same thing to other people
@montfalkon its totally a Jim Crow law. Any black who votes yes on this is a moron who forgets their own history. You are a DISGRACE to all blacks if you vote yes on prop 8.
Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) will not seek reelection after only one term in office.
According to several House aides on both sides of the aisle the House Ethics Committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married with two children, sexually harassed a male staffer.
A. "He tries to cover the basic doctrines of the church. And in so doing, in putting this down in a catechistic form, he helps formalize, to a large measure, Latter-day Saint doctrine," Alford said.
I hate it when people try to equate a homosexuals plight to the black man. Black folk were BORN black. Homosexuals are not BORN gay. You cannot look at a baby and say,"That baby is homosexual." Stop the comparisons PLEASE.
@yak6ex That is the point. Otherwise images from the civil rights era would not have been displayed. Right? What does Rosa Parks have to do with gay marriage? What does black folk sitting at the lunch counter have to do with it? No, that is EXACTLY the point.
@RichieY0Rampage I do not care what he says as it pertains to thet thread. I am stating about this one. Gays were not hanged and none went to prison when everyone knew who did it. GAYS never sat in the back of the bus. gays never were disallowed the right to vote or or firehosed. So why the images if they are not trying to equate.
Actually, gays have been hanged, and united states criminalized gay sex. But you're right that they never had to sit in the back of the bus. That's exactly the point, black people should be happy that the minority isn't being treated as harshly as they were and that the gays are inspired so much by the black movement. But the point is that the christian blacks are using the bible to justify their prejudices, and the bible was used to endorse slavery, and the ban on interracial marriage.
@idaman12345 You can look at a Black baby and can tell that it is BLACK. You can at a baby of any race, but you can't tell if it is homosexual. See my point? I thought that I made it clear in the statement that you responded to.
@dantej32 Babies aren't sexual beings at all. They just aren't developed, so comparing their state to sexually to the state of their skin is a red-herring, IE: the warped notion of a fundamentally ignorant boy-child. Keep up that education, you need it, K?
lmao i love the hypocrisy here! the same arguments were used against interracial marriage. this is incredible hahaha HYPROCRISY AT IT'S FINEST. mildred loving, the woman who ended the ban on interracial marriage, is FOR gay marriage because she is not a hypocrite. <3 love is love.
"When [Jennings] founded GLSEN, his idea of a safe school was one that pushed a radical homosexual agenda by even encouraging first and second-graders to engage in homosexual activity," Staver said. "So I think that's the impetus behind this bill. We have an administration that wants to push a radical social agenda."
Jennings came under fire in September after acknowledging he should have better handled an incident in 1988 when he was a teacher and failed to report that a boy he believed was 15 years old told him he was having sex with an older man. (Since that time, the former student, referred to as "Brewster," has revealed he was 16 years old, the age of consent in Massachusetts, at the time of the incident.)
Actually, the picture is clouded by practicalities. Is the restaurant supplying condoms? What about the health risks of body fluids? And who's cleaning up?
"We've always had little trysts in our bathrooms," says chef/co-owner Donna Dooher, pointing to lingering weekday lunches as a popular time. "We're taking it to the next level on Valentine's weekend."
Coretta King said the civil rights leader's memory demanded a strong stand for GLBT rights. "Martin Luther King Jr. said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people," she said. Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery & Selma, in Albany, GA, and St. Augustine, FL, and many other campaigns of the civil rights movement,"
She said I salute the contributions "of these courageous men and women who fought for my freedom at a time when they could find few voices for their own."
It's funny that the same arguments that are being used against marriage equality were used to say that African American's and Whites shouldn't be allowed to marry and therefore President Obama wouldn't have been from a married couple but from a couple living in sin as you would say and also breaking the law.
First of all, if you are going to use the quote from Obama saying what he believes marriage is between it would probably be good to actually use the whole quote, when he said, "but" and elaborated more on the topic.
My black brothers and sisters lost them damn minds, the people who voted for this stupid law show not get married their selves because they are too blind to see their own hate.
A strong base of local leaders buoyed the thousands of converts who joined the Church when the Moodys presided in Haiti (presently, more than 15,000 Church members live in Haiti).
"The thing that I find interesting is that we've been home for nine and a half years, and in that time — other than a few roads that have improved — things have not changed in Haiti. In some ways they've gotten worse. Maybe this will bring Haiti to the forefront [of the global conscience]."
Thank you....seems irony is still lost on most. But hopefully more black people will ignore the church and do what they know is right....unifying for a common good.
The media have dedicated extensive coverage to the massive destruction and desperate living conditions in Haiti following a 7.0 earthquake on Jan. 11, and rightfully so.
But what was life like in Haiti before the earthquake struck, particularly for the thousands of church members living there?
In recent weeks, opponents began a grass-roots effort to challenge the law indirectly by suggesting New Hampshire's 400 House members and 24 senators aren't representative of the people's wishes. They point out that in the 31 states where voters have had a say, gay marriage has been rejected.
They plan to raise the issue at town meetings this spring in hopes of passing nonbinding resolutions that will pressure lawmakers to present them with an amendment that defines marriage. They also hope their effort will help elect anti-gay marriage candidates in November.
Gay marriage opponents want the law repealed and also want to change the state constitution to ban the unions. The committee was holding hearings on the two measures, which many observers expect the House to reject when they are brought to the floor in the next few weeks.
Even ordinary folks had reason to fear. After Prop 8 passed, gay activists mobbed El Coyote, a restaurant in Los Angeles, calling for a boycott because the owner's daughter, Margorie Christoffersen, had donated $100 in support of the measure
@omiolo: more lies. there was no mob, just a peaceful (albeit noisy) protest AND boycott. this is completely LEGAL under our right to free speech, so GET OVER IT.
Dozens of businesses -- including hotels, insurance agencies, accounting firms and dentist offices -- were similarly targeted because of their owners' or employees' private donations.
Not surprisingly, many Prop 8 supporters were bombarded with harassing calls and e-mails. Some lost their jobs, including Scott Eckern, artistic director of the California Musical Theatre in Sacramento, and Richard Raddon, president of the Los Angeles Film Festival. Both resigned after their private donations were publicized and activists threatened to boycott their organizations.
@omiolo: everyone knows that harrassment is illegal. neither side should have done it, but BOTH sides did. as for the rest of it, including the men who resigned their jobs? that's free speech in action and completely legal. stop whining!
@omiolo so you want anonymity for harming others in your community like the klan now? I can still see your black hands even with the hood on, klansman.
Some of you dumb asses are missing the OBVIOUS point here.
African Americans are 85% Protestant. THAT is why they take the stance against gay rights, like they do.

This video makes me sick... "Protect marriage" means one thing, "we are afraid of what we don't know so we want to stop it from happening"... Just one thing, you can't stop people from being gay or wanting to be married... It's horrible that you can't respect homosexuals, you can't recognize them as equal, and you will do anything to not feel threatened by that which you do not understand... I am saddened this video got 80 likes... 80 people who hate what they can't accept or understand, so sad.

California voters approved Proposition 8 in November to define marriage in the state constitution as the exclusive union of a man and a woman. The initiative overturned a May 2008 ruling from the state Supreme Court that legalized same-sex "marriage."
