First off, interesting topic, Dionysus.

I think Blacks on the whole are pretty socially conservative (a tactic Black Republicans use when explaining their alliance with the GOP) when it comes to issues of homosexuality and abortion ... in general, things that "threaten" the morality of an overwhelmingly Christian upbringing.

We tend to be liberal when it comes to issues that relate to oppression and unfairness.

I think this social conservatism is reflected in the members of our organizations. NPHC organizations may swing slightly to the left, but only because their members have generally been exposed to more education and liberal thinkingthan the average population.
