It's kind of sociologically ignorant to look at things that way. The Afro-American community of course pulled out big numbers for Obama, but minorities have are typically more discriminatory, particularly the Afro-American community. This all goes back to education though, the higher your education the more socially liberal you are and less bigoted. This goes back to the fact that schools in areas like Compton or Oakland aren't good schools. The Teachers Union, and I'm typically very for unions, is one of the worst things that's ever happened with education. This union, sort of like the Catholic church when it discovers one of their priests guilty of touching little boys, reorganizes their teachers based on how well they do. For instance, if you have a bad teacher teaching at a well-funded predominately White school in say...Connecticut, than they shift them around to perhaps a more poor southern, and most likely, predominately black school, and they teach poorly there and most likely the kids can't pull the grade so test standards are lowered to make money (this is No Child Left Behind in action) but the problem is the tests aren't good enough to get into college. Racism is still a problem, particularly in regards to our messed up education system, it hasn't been solved (I know no one has said this) because there's a black president. I mean you look at the s
hit going on in America still, like cancer alley in Louisiana, and it makes you realize how corrupt the system is.
An unaddressed problem with this propositions though, is their obtuse and deliberately syntax. In Florida for instance, where they got rid of Civil Unions, my friend had no idea what the proposition was talking about (in the end he just didn't vote.) There's also another issue which is how long some of these ballots get.
