don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry, and don't write when you're angry

I keep reading stuff about how Obama's candidacy increased African-American turnout, which in turn became a factor in Prop 8's passing, because 70% of African-American voters voted for it.  And today i thought to myself...

Hey, black voters!  Are you in favor of traditional values?  Prop 888: Bring back slavery to California!

OK, so maybe i'm just a little pissed off right now.

Progress

It is sad that ANY minority group would vote for prop 8, as they all must know what it's like to not have the same rights as others. But, as it stands in our country, Gays have no rights at all according to the US constitution, meaning basically that according to the constitution of my country, my life has no value. This is hardly the fault of Black ppl or any other minority race in this country, although it is sad that they support the views of the same ppl who oppressed them for years. This includes Latinos too, as both African Americans & Latinos have adopted Christianity, the religion of their oppressors. It makes me very angry as well, but it won't stand for long, this I am sure of! Things are changing for the better, even if there are some speed bumps along the way, they can't stop progress! All it can do is delay it for a while.....
