95% of African Americans say Homosexuality is Not Morally Acceptable

[TheThordir]

95% of African Americans are hypocritical idiots. If they accept the religion of the white oppressor, then they are accepting slavery.

[oriolesfan61]

It's so sad you want to deny civil rights to an oppressed minority. Gays are attacked and killed in the US. Just like blacks were. Not exactly the same, for sure. But you don't appove of being gay, even though 5-10% of African Americans are gay. The arguments about church freedoms are not about gay rights, but about the courts misunderstanding the freedom of religion. It's shameful you hate Gays the way white southerners hated blacks.

[oriolesfan61]

It is about civil rights. Your erroneous statement about homosexuality being a Choice is unscientific. You believe that because of your cultural and or religious beliefs. You have been a victim of racism because of others religious beliefs and you are victimizing gays because of yours. You are racist to say that a white person cannot understand racism. What you are supporting is the persecution of gays in defiance of the Constitution.

[4thelordlove]

(see my reply to oriolesfan61). and furthermore comparing the struggle of minority groups to the homosexual lifestyle is not getting it. Not native americans, latinos, african, americans, and asians. Internment camps/ holocaust, genocide, slavery, disenfranchisement and oppression. Gays who don't get this haven't a clue of the kind of covert institutionalized hate that constantly affects your average person of color. If they did "get it" they would understand the offense of the comparison.

@Killerbabyseal I had to remove your comment for vulgarity. Vulgarity is antifamily. Why are the No on prop 8 antifamily?

[Killerbabyseal]

@YesProp8 ok.... typical

[oriolesfan61]

I can't believe any African American could say gay marriage is not about civil rights. You are doing to gays what the southern whites did to you. You should be ashamed.

Gallagher was asked by local supporters of marriage, including the Maryland Catholic Conference and the Association of Maryland Families, to lead testimony in opposition to SB 116, which would change the definition of marriage in Maryland from a man and a woman to "any two persons."

[omiolo]

Right now, for example, the Catholic Church is

being challenged in Canada because a local parish refused to rent out their church reception hall when they

learned the reception was for a lesbian couple. Legal scholars warn that the tax exempt status and

accreditation of church organizations could be at risk.

[omiolo]

“What will happen to our church organizations?” After same-sex marriage is created, will the statement,

“Children need a mother and a father” be deemed hate speech? In Massachusetts, the Boston Globe said so:

“Governor Romney is denigrating gay families, practicing divisive, mean-spirited politics . . . by insisting

that every child ‘has a right to a mother and a father.’”

95% of African Americans are on the down low too

[fireflygirl246]

What most Black people, especially this generation, don't remember or realize that it was the gay community that march side by side with them during the civil rights movement. The only thing i can think of is that black people still face a lot of racism, so much that they forget how far they have come and who helped get the there. the African community & the LGBT community should work together for the benefit of both groups. As a white lesbian I support black rights, even if they dont support me

[Jamieishere1]

Is this video supposed to act as conclusive proof that african americans are far less intelligent than the average person ^^? I dont think they are but that seems to be the message of the video.

We generously took them our irrational stigmaz and taboos when we colonised them and indoctrinated them in to religion. Unfortunately, they havent gotten over it yet.

[AsianMen4Me]

Yeah your God is so good, that is why HIV is on the rise in the black community. Black women are catching HIV at an alarming rate, but you blame gays? Educate yourselves and stop believing in dark age fairy tales.

[estellar123]

Do they feel the same way about interracial marriage, or is THAT a civil right?

A Roman Catholic adoption agency has lost its fight for the right to continue its policy of refusing to place children with same-sex couples based on religious principles.

Most Latter-day Saints know the essential story of the coming forth

of the Book of Mormon, but there are scores of fascinating details

[omiolo]

As Bingham arrived in Nebraska, his good friend, Elder Ryan Clark, was arriving in Cleveland, Ohio, to begin his two-year LDS mission. While excited to serve, Clark was deeply concerned for his friend.

"When I left on my mission, he had some strong feelings against the church. He had said some things that made me think I needed to pray for him," said Clark, now a general contractor living in Lehi. "So at the end of each day, I prayed that his heart would be softened."

[CaptainMatey]

What also amused me was the fact that the article you have posted in your description box also says that people who have a college education are more tolerant than those who do not - as in, more educated people realize that being gay is okay, and uneducated people are more likely to be homophobic xD

[CaptainMatey]

Did anyone else lol @ this video?

I mean, seriously. xD

It's BS, man. The article in your description said African Americans were less likely to think being gay was fine - 64% thinking it is morally wrong, not 95%. xD

The stats for being against homosexuality are probably higher in Africans from Africa, though.

Also, this video proves nothing - It only proves that homophobes are so desperate to bash gays that they create fake statistis about black people. xD

At that time she was living in the area with her family while her father, now Elder Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve, was serving as the mission president. YSA also learned that a few years earlier President Brower had also served a full-time mission in the area.

Canada Toronto West Mission President Bradford Brower and his wife, Tamara Ballard Brower, and Sheri L.

Sister Brower connected immediately with YSAs as she recounted some of her spiritual experiences as a teenager in the very same church building.

@omiolo 30% of Africans have AIDS. Seems that blacks are more stupid that gays.

[omiolo]

@GilbertGrape78 JAMA August 2008. The number one indicator if someone has AIDS is if they are homosexual. Nice try though.

[GilbertGrape78]

@omiolo Only in America. Look up the statistics worldwide, more black people have aids than any other race. They also have the lowest IQ of any race. And the largest belief in the bible... which endorses slavery by the way. Bascially black people are stupid.

[omiolo]

@GilbertGrape78 I live in America. Also, gays need to apologize for being the ones who poisoned the blood supply and wiped out whole communities in the 80's.

@CaptainMatey so OBVIOUS, that you MUST point it out??

@omiolo pointing out obvious things is fun.

@CaptainMatey I think my point when OVER your head

[CaptainMatey]

@omiolo Lol, your point when kinda stupid.

lol, English xD

[omiolo]

@CaptainMatey naturally, I disagree! I thought the stupidity was when you had to point something out yet proclaiming it was sooo obvious.

[CaptainMatey]

@omiolo I assumed you were a troll because I believed that there was no way you were serious about what you were saying, considering the amount of stupidity in all of your comments.

You trying to make a valid argument against me because I said you had to be an obvious troll just looks desperate. You're trying too hard.

Also - you're on the internet. Do yourself a favour and learn your memes.

Adios ;D

[omiolo]

@CaptainMatey This comment sure is self serving of you!

@omiolo I'm getting bored of you. -_-

Usually argueing is funner when the person I'm argueing with has a couple braincells.

WASHINGTON -- John Pilkington's boss wouldn't take no for an answer.

During more than two years as a food runner at an upscale steakhouse in Scottsdale, Ariz., Pilkington says his male supervisor groped, fondled and otherwise sexually harassed him more than a dozen times.

"It was very embarrassing," Pilkington said. "I felt like I had to do something because the situation was just so bad."

News Flash: Gay Marriage is the only political issue black conservative figureheads have addressed in the last ten years!

Meanwhile, in the African-American community only 31% of all blacks get married, and 70% of all children are born to single unwed-mothers!

Black religious conservatives should be ashamed of themselves; they need to be called out. They need to worry about the pitiful marriage rate -- the state of the family -- in their own damned community. Pride goes before a fall!

In late December, Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, were arrested and charged with public indecency after they became engaged in the country.

In 1930, Christian X, King of Denmark and cousin to Malcolm X (that's literally true) decreed that the marriage between Gerda Gottlieb and Einar Wegener was null and void, when the latter became Lili Elbe after a sex change operation that made him into a woman.

Homosexuality is illegal in Malawi and is punishable by prison time and hard labor," Chingwalu said. "Basically, he was promoting a criminal act. This is what this is all about."

If convicted, Sawali would face up to five months in prison, hard labor and a fine of about 2,000 kwacha ($14), police said.

Stop being sheep and do your research.

Everyone knows that Xenu sent the gays to America to trick us into buying Uggs and Diet Coke. They use these as control devices, so that they can load us up in their phallic-shaped spacecrafts, so that they can consume us.

It's called math; look it up.

-If the poll was only directed at religious groups of course alot of them would oppose it.

-If the poll was directed at society as a whole the stats maybe different.

[wetterdew]

64% said it is "morally wrong" and 24% said it is "not a moral issue."

That is different from saying that it is "not morally acceptable"--you're just using wordplay to make it sound like something it isn't.

Homosexuality is morally acceptable, and it isn't a moral issue.

The higher statistics of anti-gay sentiment in blacks is just correlated with an increased rate of religion. What else would you expect?

An August 2009 Pew Research Center survey finds that 53% oppose allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, compared with 39% who support same-sex marriage, numbers that are virtually unchanged over the past year.

You got the 95% number wrong according to the source you yourself provided.

[omiolo]

maybe you should reread the table?

[SpeedyBruin]

@omiolo If anyone cares to check the take they will see that the number is actually 64% and that the numbers were misleadingly manipulated by adding those who were indifferent or didn't take a firm position either way. This was dishonest.

[omiolo]

actually 64% is the percentage of blacks that find it morally wrong.

Which is different that NOT morally acceptable.

Either way, Blacks do NOT approve of the homosexual lifestyle, and I am sure you know what the majority think when your types compare it to the Civil Rights movement!

[SpeedyBruin]

I'm not sure why you're so hung up on race. Political ideology, church attendance, and age are far better predictors of a person's stance on this issue. Furthermore, if you look at the polling trends over the last two decades they are clearly trending in favor of equality.

I am simply trying to help you get things right.

By trying to spin the facts to fit your bias?

It's as though you were telling me that if a third of all people were 'indifferent to baseball' that they were actually 'not in favor of baseball'. This is clearly spin intended to mislead and it strains your credibility a great deal to pretend otherwise. Ask yourself if a reasonable person could possibly buy what you are trying to spin. I can't imagine anyone believing that.
