No it did not. Many Democrats keep forgetting how VERY socially conservative many African Americans are. BTW this is not the first time we've been burned in a Presidential Election over this. A major reason why Bush the Younger beat Kerry in Ohio in 2004 was because of anti marriage equality sentiment. Much of it coming from African American churches.

I forgot how distrustful the LGBTQ+ community used to be of black voters. A distrust that was rightfully earned and promptly forgotten bc we won. Hmmmmmmmm. Did we forgive and forget too soon?

I never said all African Americans were and are anti LGBTQ+. I said a large number of them were and are.

he never said what you are saying; not even close; you don't get to frame his comment to suit your agenda; that's not how fair debate actually works; if you have a point, state it clearly without such easy refutable nonsense (whether you like his point or not)
