I'd hafta see 2 or 3 links to believe that she said all that - perhaps she said the first part, but I don't think she went that far, now..*smh*

(Btw, there's a "hide sig" feature for those who need a reason to talk shit)

 

well here's what i'm reading her her blog. not what the original poster wrote. looks like someone paraphrased:

70% of black californians

who voted this cycle voted for prop 8. As they overwhelmingly supported America's first chance to elect a person of color and strike a death blow to racism, they also went out of their way to misuse their votes (no doubt at the behest of their immoral and hateful pastors and clergy) to isolate and punish a small minority of citizens, and to deny them basic civil rights.
They voted to deny over 70,000 californian children coverage of the insurance benefits of their gay parents. They voted to destroy the constitution that Obama will hopefully uphold against their wishes, by making sure that church and state remain separated. They voted to "uphold the sanctity of marriage" by making a mockery of it. They showed themselves every inch as bigoted and ignorant as their white christian right wing counterpartners who voted for mccain-palin and bush-cheney.
When i suggested a couple of years ago that gay organizations should build official bridges with african american organizations, in order to build political consensus and not just represent a purely gay agenda, this very vote is what I was trying to speak to.
The gay community needs to do outreach to the black and latino christian and immigrant communities.

the more things change, the more they stay the same.
REPENT all ye bible blabbers!!!!

I went to her website which is http://roseanneworld.com/blog/

It is similiar:

But I don't see word n!gger in it

sounds more against religion than blacks. sounds like the internet folk twisted it around to fuel the flames.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. AS A CALIFORNIAN WHO VOTED YES ON 8, THE MEDIA IS PISSING ME OFF ACTING LIKE BLACKS VOTED THE WHOLE BILL DOWN. FIRST OF ALL IT WASN'T BLACKS WHO CREATED THIS PROPOSITION, SECONDLY, IT WAS 70% OF BLACK VOTERS, NOT 70% OF THE VOTES WERE BLACK, THIRDLY, THEY ARE TRYING ANYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO RAIN ON OUR PARADE. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE HISPANICS THAT VOTED FOR THIS, WHAT ABOUT ALL THE WHITES THAT VOTED, THEY EACH HAD MAJORITY OF THEIR VOTERS VOTE YES AS WELL. THEY NEED TO QUIT MAKING BLACKS SEEM LIKE THE BAD GUYS IN ALL THIS.

They voted to deny over 70,000 californian children coverage of the insurance benefits of their gay parents

AND I THINK ROSEANNE IS WRONG ABOUT THE BILL, IT WAS NOT TO BAN THE COVERAGE, THEY ALREADY RECEIVE THAT, IT WAS JUST TO DEFINE THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE.  CALIFORNIA LAW STATES WE CANNOT DISCRIMINAT AGAINST RELIGION, COLOR, SEX GENDER, OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION. AND THAT'S WHAT COVERS DOMESTIC PARTNERS AND ADPTIVE CHILDREN FOR MEDICAL BENEIFTS. SO THEY ARE RECEIVING ALL THE BENEFITS, EXCEPT BEING CALLED A MARRIED COUPLE. AND TO SAY THAT WE MISSUED OUR RIGHTS IS BULLSH*T. WE EXERCISED THE RIGHT TO OUR OPINION AND SHE JUST DOESN'T AGREE WITH US. NOW SINCE IN MY OPINION THIS IS MORE ABOUT RELIGION, THEN SHE CAN MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, BECAUSE AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON CHRISTIANITY, OUR MONEY SAYS IN GOD WE TRUST, IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT, THEN SHE CAN WORK AND SEND HER KIDS TO SCHOOL ON XMAS, AND EASTER AND STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY. SHE IS JEWISH RIGHT? THEN IT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE THEN.

Who is that ridiculous woman? Fact is,she needs to know the facts of the issue and I'm tired of the way Blacks have been scapegoated on this issue,when all facets of society voted yes to the ban. This woman if I'm not mistaken supported Clinton and it's apparent that she was part of that racist white Dem vote.....
I'm wondering where are people such as Maxine Waters and other so called Black leaders in California won't come out and shut down these lies against Blacks. It would be decent of them to come out with the real stats as to all races voted on this issue.....

Why are you making excuses. So what if blacks were the deciding factor? You dont have to apologize for anything. You were given a proposition and asked to give an up or down vote. You agreed with it, there is nothing to be ashamed about.

UMMM SOOOOOOOOO NOT MAKING EXCUSES!!!!!!!! DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE READING. I AGREE WITH IT, I EVEN HAD A SIGN. I'M NOT ASHAMED. I JUST DISAGREE WITH US BEING MADE THE SCAPEGOATS LIKE BLACKS WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO VOTED.
Whether the stats are accurate or not, blacks let california how they feel. Blacks dont need to feel any shame in what they believe in. These people need to just stop whining and get over it.

yeah i wondering why some blacks won't admit to this either. i mean, this very message board shows a majority of blacks who are against it.  now for those who wanna say that other groups voted for prop 8 came out in overwhelming numbers, i'd like to see those number. if no one has them then let's just own up to the fact that the majority of blacks are against giving these type of rights to gays. i think it's just a knee jerk response from blacks to just disagree with anything that (they think) makes them look bad. cuz i really don't see why folks are outraged when most are saying that they disagree with gays getting married. *shrug* so what r people mad about?
Well the numbers dont lie, I heard numbers as high as 75% of blacks supporting the measure. In all likelyhood it was blacks who tipped the scales in favor of prop 8., Especially when you recognize every other ethnic group splilt thier vote 50/50. Whether you believe it or not blacks have more political power than you give them credit for. I guess I just dont understand stand why you would be angry about being blamed for it. So what?!, blacks are against prop 8..Big deal.

I'M NOT ANGRY, JUST SICK OF HEARING IT SPUN LIKE WE WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO WERE ALLOWED TO VOTE ON THIS MEASURE. WELL 75% OF BLACKS VOTED FOR THIS BILL, I WILL GIVE YOU THAT, BUT WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS AS FAR AS HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT EQUATED TO? LET'S SAY 1,000,000 WERE BLACK BUT MAYBE 3,000,000 WERE WHITE THAT VOTED YES. SO PROPORTIONATLEY A HIGHER PERCENTAGE VOTED YES, BUT MAYBE IT WAS A HIGHER NUMBER OF WHITES THAT VOTED YES. I'M JUST SAYING.

NOT all Blacks are against Prop. 8.  Because NOT all Blacks are HETEROSEXUAL.

And just because SOME Black Californians voted against gay marriage, doesn't mean that the ENTIRE universe of Blacks voted this way.

Besides, the media is hoping that Whites will not look too closely at the numbers.

If they did, they would see that it was THEIR OWN that voted in overwhelming numbers to put the kabosh on gay marriage.

Whites are the majority in that state, followed by Mexicans, and Asians.  All of these groups put their weight behind nixing gay marriage.

Blacks as a group are a small minority in California. 

So, their own put them out of business.  But beating up on a minority is much dearer to home, so that's what they opted to do.
