Prop 8 - It's not the black man's fault
San Jose Mercury News, and others I suspect, have posted exit poll data that indicate California Prop 8 passed because of the black vote. This blog is here as an attempt to dispel that notion.
This is a copy of a response I posted on the boards:
And I for one don't believe the statistic that blames blacks. I think their polling data is from a few specific areas.
http://vote.sos.ca.gov/Returns/props/map190000000008.html
Shasta County - 69.9% yes
Black persons - 1% (2006)
Tehama County - 72.7% yes
Black persons - 0.8% (2006)
Modoc County - 74.3% yes
Black persons - 0.8% (2006)
Were these heavily white areas that went heavily for prop 8 counted in the exit polls that are being used to blame the black man?
Contra Costa County - 55% no
Black persons - 9.5%
Alameda County - 61.9% no
Black persons - 13.7%
In case you are not aware - those two counties include Richmond, CA and Oakland, CA which have some of the bigger black communities in the state.
Those counties went against Prop 8 significantly.
Use your brain, stop blaming the black man.
It wasn't his fault.
Statistics are easy to abuse and apply in ways they should not be applied.
