QUEERLY BELOVED
Black America's Sunday-Tuesday gap
Star Parker: Christians must address inconsistencies in light of Obama, 'gay' marriage
According to a 2010 Gallup survey, 55 percent of blacks said they attend church frequently (at least once a week or almost every week). However, among Democrats, the party blacks overwhelmingly support, 39 percent say they attend church frequently. And among liberals, who are overwhelmingly Democrats, 27 percent attend church frequently.
The black vote wasnt always so predictable. Eisenhower got 39 percent of the black vote in 1956, and Nixon received 32 percent in 1960.
Now, 90 percent of blacks can be depended on to pull the lever for Democrats.
These are the blacks of Tuesday. But now that President Obama has made his support for same-sex marriage clear, what impact will this have on the blacks of Sunday?
In 2008, in California, the blacks of Tuesday voted for Barack Obama. But in the same election, the blacks of Sunday switched over and voted for Proposition 8, which directed that marriage be formally defined in the California Constitution as traditional one man and one woman.
