…After the Democratic party throws civil rights under the bus.

Oh, the irony! A group of people who, only 40 years ago, worked and sweated and fought for equal legal recognition (that would be “civil rights”) come to deny those same rights to another group.

Seriously? Is some bigotry less despicable than others?

I’m floored by the CNN exit polls which show that, in regards to the California proposition that would take away the equal rights of gays/homosexuals/queers, black voters overwhelmingly supported the summary pilfering of other people’s rights.

In case the link above goes dead, the notable racial and age data is such:
(A vote for prop 8 is against civil rights for gays/homosexuals/queers)

Black voters for/against prop 8 – 70/30
Voters aged 18-29 for/against prop 8 – 39/61

I know that exit polls are not the most accurate data sets in the world, and if you want to dismiss the numbers on that basis, I can’t blame you too much.

Still, 70% of black voters chose to throw out the gays? The white, asian, and latino votes were split close to 50/50. The youth vote was definitely for making gays equal to straights, with the numbers predictably decreasing with increasing age. But the young ones couldn’t cancel the black ones.

This breakdown of choices on the proposition was predicted long before the election. Why would the predictions be important? Because it means that the Democratic party and its presidential candidate, both of which court the youth and minority voting blocks, decided that winning the presidency was more important than civil rights for everyone.

I should make it abundantly clear, before any leftists decide that I’m set on burning them at the stake, and before any rightists decided that they should burn leftists at the stake, that I can’t condemn all Democrats. The only thing that anyone can say for certain about all registered Democrats is that they are all… registered Democrats. That’s it.

Sigh.

So the fight goes on for the civil rights movement. I wonder if the fighters will be pissed at the party and the candidate that used them, then abandoned them? I am.
