The enemies of ALL kinds of equality are pushing this Divide and Conquer theme.

It really doesn't exist… Because those that ARE pushing the theme can ALWAYS find someone to say exactly what they're looking for. It doesn't mean that that's what most black people believes.

Anyone, even those of us on DU can fall for this scheme. Just look at what happened to Huff Post:

First they report on the it:

NOM's Anti-Gay Marriage, Race-Dividing Plans Revealed In Secret Documents Obtained By HRC

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has gone public with a series of confidential documents which outline the National
Organization for Marriage's (NOM) multi-year plan to thwart the national campaign for marriage equality.

The documents reportedly emerged as part of an ongoing investigation by the state of Maine into NOM's illegal campaign finance practices, and reveal some of the group's racially-driven strategies:

"The strategic goal…is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks—two key Democratic constituencies. Find, equip, energize and connect African American spokespeople for marriage; develop a media campaign around their objections to gay marriage as a civil right; provoke the gay marriage base into responding by denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots…"

Obama Gay Marriage Announcement: Many Black Americans Shrug Off New View


ARDMORE, Pa. -- 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."

With that phrase popularized by the black radical Malcolm X, Jackson rebutted those who say Obama's new stand will weaken the massive black support he needs to win re-election in November. Black voters and especially black churches have long opposed gay marriage. But the 40-year-old barber and other African-Americans interviewed in politically key states say their support for Obama remains unshaken.

Do not allow yourself to be played.

Following his lengthy Sunday sermon on the matter, Rev. Reggie Longcrier of Hickory's Exodus Missionary Outreach Church sits down with RACE TO THE BALLOT to discuss why he's opposed to Amendment One.| http://www.racetotheballot.com
