Facts Belie the Scapegoating of Black People for Proposition 8

raptoravatar:

Excellent takedown of the myths surrounding not only the exit polls on Prop 8 but also the temptation to assume that black homophobia is to blame for Prop 8’s passage.

I’ve now written and deleted two posts about this, so let me just say: kudos.  Also, if you ever see a statistic that seems too good to be true, check the numbers behind it.  (And then hopefully summarize it better than this writer does; law school makes you mistake thoroughness for rhetorical strength, I guess.)
