playing fantasy football doesn't really show anything. the fact that white voters turned out in droves to vote against affirmative action is atrocious and racist. the fact that white people turned out in droves to vote reinforce homophobia is vile.
the fact (acknowledged by that entry) that 70% of blacks in CA voted for Prop 8 is a separate observation. "blaming" that vote for the passage of Prop 8 is racist... ok, i'll grant that. but deflecting the entire question of "why did a group that voted overwhelmingly for obama, a supposedly transformational candidate whose ascendance is the realization of decades of civil rights struggle also vote (less overwhelmingly) against the civil rights of queers" with the idea that even raising the issue is wholly racist, is as pointless as the blame itself.
