Post MLK Should Inspire Response to Same-Sex Marriage, Miami Archbishop Says

The legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the American civil rights movement of the 1960s should inspire Catholics in their response to President Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage, says Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski of Miami.

Default Re: MLK Should Inspire Response to Same-Sex Marriage, Miami Archbishop Says

What is unfortunate is that Obama carried about 97% of the Black vote in 2008. After 4 years of policies and comments directly opposed to what most Blacks believe, including this new one on Gay "marriage," all indictors are pointing that you can expect the same this year.

See article: Many blacks shrug off Obama's new view on gays
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/..._black_voters/

From the AP article:
"Like many black Americans, Dorsey Jackson does not believe in gay marriage, but he wasn't disillusioned when Barack Obama became the first president to support it. The windows of his suburban Philadelphia barbershop still display an "Obama 2012" placard and another that reads "We've Got His Back." If Obama needs to endorse same-sex marriage to be re-elected, said Jackson, so be it: "Look, man -- by any means necessary."

MLK pleaded for a nation where a man would be judged "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." It would appear that for most of Black America, his plea has long since been abandoned.
