Black Folk Changing Opinions of Gay Marriage?

5/25/2012

26 Comments

 
For years, polls have shown that black people are more resistant to homosexuality than the population at large. As recently as April, a Pew poll showed only 39 percent of black people in favor, compared with 47 percent of white Americans.

Now, all of sudden, a new poll shows black people MORE accepting of gay marriage than the population at large--59 percent of blacks supported it, compared with 50 percent of whites. 

One poll of 1,004 Americans does not mean this view is set in stone. The margin of error was 3.5 percentage points in either direction for the full sample, and higher for black folks because of the smaller sample size. But still--is there any way to explain this shift other than Obama's announcement?

UPDATE, MAY 30: The AP polling guru told me that the sample size was too small to declare this a real trend, or to draw any major conclusions from it. But it does bear watching to see what will happen...

Meet your future spouse. In many arranged marriages, there is usually a time near the wedding when the couple can meet and see one another, normally in the company of a chaperone. Thanks.

i always support for the gay marriage and of course that's what we can always do then for all of us. If they are happy with their status then let's not prevent it. let us be happy with them.

Put some perming solution on your gloved fingers. Apply the perming solution only to new growth hair, by pinching the hair from the scalp and lifting up only a few inches. Repeat this process until an entire section is coated in perming solution. Thanks.

I think this is more of an American issue, the reason why I say that is because you refer to black Americans as black people, which is a holistic term, encompassing over 1billion people worldwide, but you were to white Americans as white Americans, being smart not to group them in with Australians or Romanians etc... With that said, I don't think it matters, ones acceptance of such practices is purely personal, it seems as though white people are some kind of benchmark for morality, which to me is preposterous.

The words are the same, but the meaning has changed: changed enough, perhaps, to make the difference between a hot dinner and a cold one.
