“ I think (African-Americans) would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South. ”

New Jersey governor and Republican darling CHRIS CHRISTIE, who is pushing for a voter referendum on marriage equality in his state rather than take up the issue in the Legislature. 

Yes, because in those good old days, a referendum was a realistic option for African-Americans, you fucking idiot.

(via WCBS 880 AM)

Christie just doesn’t want to take political responsibility for opposing marriage equality. At this point, Christie is the main obstacle standing between New Jersey and marriage equality.

    A referendum? Brilliant. Never mind the fact that Blacks couldn’t vote and THAT WAS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
