Black Voters Proposition 8

Initially the blame for the passage of Prop 8 came to lie at the feet of blacks. Now comes new evidence that blacks did not vote more disproportionately for Prop 8 than any other ethnic group.

The real culprit responsible for Prop 8 passing is the quirky California political process that allows for a mulligan after the state Supreme Court already ruled in support of same-gender marriage.

Certainly, the No on 8 folks might have done a better job of outreach to California's black and Latino communities. But the notion that Prop 8 passed ...

Don't forget the 49% of Asians who voted for Prop 8, the 53% of Latinos and the nearly 50% percent of whites, a group representing 63% of California voters. Last I checked, blacks held little sway over those groups.
