Her reference to values appeal underestimates our intelligence. She seems to think that blacks support Bush's values out of hatred for gays and non-Christians. Bush's value statement isn't just about gay marriage amendment or stuffing faith in our face, which is arguably wrong choice. It's about traditional values; especially traditional family values which it seems as if liberals are deeming politically incorrect. Many blacks are seeing demise of black family and damage it is doing to our children a result of our rejection of values that got us through much harder times than we face now and no longer believe that its purely racism.

Overall, I disagree with article but it's important to read because it shows a growing age and class disconnect within black community that can only work to our overall disadvantage.
