A group of Black pastors held a press conference on July 31, 2012 opposing President Obama’s position of same-sex marriage. <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">The Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), headed by Reverend William Owens</span>, called the President’s stance “disgraceful” and <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">has launched a</span> marriage petition in a nation-wide <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">campaign to rally African Americans to withdraw support from President Obama.</span> In May, President Obama announced that he supports same -sex marriage- and this year’s Democratic National Convention; gay marriage language will be included in the party platform.​


Rev. William Owens believes that President Obama takes the vote of the black community for granted and that he is putting the interests of his gay supporters ahead of the religious beliefs of his African-American backers.

“The president is in the white house because of the Civil Rights Movement . . . the president has forgotten the price that was paid where people died where they suffered where they gave their blood to have equal rights in the us - and for the homosexual community and for the President to bow to the money as Judas did with Jesus Christ is a disgrace and we are ashamed. We will not take it back we will not back down and we are going to take action across this country to change the course that this presidente is carrying us in . . .”

- Reverend William Owens​

 
Well, lets not act surprised about this.

The Black community is the more socially conservative minority groups in America.

Of course, I can picture the whole crew trying to debate me on this issue because they need my attention. Oh well...
 
Those pastors can speak their peace but just as they say Obama is taking the Black vote for granted (strong argument for that stance), they are also overestimating their own influence.

Without question, in many ways WE are more conservative than we're given credit. And, unfortunately, sometimes just as ignorant.

One of the reasons for the OP.

The nerve of some of people; presumptively speaking, for US.
