23. I still can't figure out why so many blacks are against gay marriage.

It can't be because of short memory, many if not most probably still experience discrimination daily.

Why would they discriminate against another minority?

I'm Irish and have read about the wide spread discrimination against the Irish years ago, but only experienced two cases of being discriminated against for being Irish personally. That was enough for me to swear to try my hardest not to discriminate against others.
