Are Blacks more homophobic?
In some black churches the musical director is gay, half the choir is gay, heck, the pastor might even be gay. Yet, in some Black churches messages of homophobia rain down from the pulpit. Prominent black pastors like T.D. Jakes have joined Republican leaders in condemning same-sex marriage and more broadly homosexuality. Does this mean that blacks are more homophobic?
The Republican Party hopes that by rallying Black people against homosexuality, it will increase is voter base as evidenced in the following article.
A highly organized, well-funded campaign led by right-wing evangelical Christian groups, including the Traditional Values Coalition and the Family Research Council, in conjunction with the Republican Party machine is targeting African Americans. The goal is to divide Black voters by emphasizing and manipulating views on gays and lesbians, according to a spokesperson for the National Lesbian and Gay Task Force (NGLTF).
Republican loyalists and officials have sought to spread an anti-gay message in African American churches in order to convince Black voters to "come back home" to the Republican Party.

Dr. Cornel West and singer John Legend discuss homosexuality and the black community here.
Black people can be religious, but does that necessarily mean that we are more homophobic than our counterparts?

As much as I love the brotha, I disagree with Cornel West on this one. To me it's a no-brainer--yes, Blacks are more homophobic. And it's not just a religous issue. On average we are pretty socially conservative group despite our political orientation.
I've never been shot by a white guy, I've never been beaten by a white mob for walking out of a gay bar, I've never been robbed by a white guy.
But I have been by blacks.
I guess my experience doesn't count, because I'm not black, I'm American Indian.
The whole issue of weather blacks are more homophobic than whites is a farce - the fact is, it's a problem, and you should be confronting it, instead of saying "well, whitey does it just as much" and sweeping the issue under the carpet.
What a *cowardly* cop-out.
