(46,307 posts)You are correct that I did not account for the "at large" members of the DC City Council. Including those members, the DC Council had 7 African American members and 6 white members at the time it voted to approve same sex marriage. Whether that constitutes a "hell of a lot" of "brown faces" is a point that can go either way. But you are correct that I was wrong in my characterization of the council at the time of the vote.
However, my amazement with your post comes from the rather strange criticism you level at me for pointing out that there are indeed a lot of places with majority African American populations, many of which are, to use your terminology, "blacker" than DC. You asked if I thought there were such places but now criticize me for answering your question. That's weird.
Also weird is your assertion that I in any way suggested that "it's a fact that all black people are opposed to gay marriage" when, even with my mistaken characterization of the council's make up, I was pointing out that two of the four African American members voted FOR same sex marriage.
But how you reach your conclusions is your problem, not mine.
