In my neck of the woods, I don't see any Black Christians suddenly abandoning real marriage because of Obama's remarks. In fact, I keep bumping into God-fearing friends and relatives who no longer want to vote for him.

Another point the Washington Post article misses is that even Black non-Christians aren't going to instantly change their view on marriage. I think it's telling that well known Black Muslims like Farrakhan and Muhammad Ali haven't leaped on the "gay marriage" bandwagon like the NAACP or Al Sharpton.

I do agree with the Christian Today article that Black people who are indifferent to marriage, religion or both might shift to Obama's worldview. But I have to agree with the NOM representative that unlike their White counterparts Black people are not abandoning real marriage in any major way.
