[quote=Anonymous]To all the people who are up in arms about the notion that Obama has a leadership role within the black community...are you serious? Obama's election is historic for the black community and regardless of people's political opinions the things he says and does are noticed and commented on by the country in general as well as the black community specifically. He is the President of the United States! He is a leader. That is a fact. It stands to reason that these facts have particular resonance with the Black community simply by virtue of him being Black.

Also, it is well documented that Blacks have historically polled as being largely against same-sex marriage. What Jeff was pointing out is what appears to be a recent shift in that.

It makes total sense to assume that some of that shift might be due to President Obama's recent support of same-sex marriage and the support that followed by other Blacks in leadership positions.

Not really seeing what is offensive here...and I am Black, for the record.[/quote]
