I mean really, at the end of the day how does the fact that two people want to get married affect your life? Is it taking food off your table and out of your mouth? The roof over your head?

Once again, we allowed others to come into our community and dictate to us what our agenda should be. We allowed white conservatives to purchase our pulpits and then dutifully volunteered to spread their message of divide and conquer. But what’s really baffling and equally troubling to me is that Black people collaborated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) who for nearly 150 years through the Mormon Church taught that all Blacks were cursed, uncouth, uncomely, wild, and ‘seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind’…among other things.
Like with the Minutemen and the issue of immigration, Black people once again made alliances with people who on any other issue we are usually standing opposite…polar opposite. Simply put—we were used.
