[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]How can this community judge others [/b]when they have the lowest standards of living, highest crime, lowest education attainment, AIDS, most of their kids grow up without a father figure, etc. All around they are a community in shambles and on the downside. Yet they go to church every Sunday and they have the gall to be so against gay marriage. Why don't they fix their own communities that are basically warzones. Looks like they will vote down Maryland's marriage amendment. [/quote]

I love this.  OP is condemning an entire race based on sound bites and generalizations for the values of a portion of the group.  Talk about racial profiling.

OP, you should take your own advice.  How can you judge a community with such a completely lack of education and research?  I live and work in PG County (but am not African American) and can tell you that while the religiously active black churches are significantly vocal about the issue, even within the churches they are not  unanimous and outside those churches, the African American community is not nearly so homogeneous a population as you paint.  LIkewise those issues that you throw out are very 1960's stereotypes and not an accurate description of the majority of African Americans any longer.  [/quote]
