The controversy over California's gay marriage ban, known as Prop 8, has spilled into the streets. Protests have snaked their way through Los Angeles and across the country. But in some places, the fight for gay rights has turned into an public indictment of African-Americans who voted in favor of the ban. Some neighborhoods have become hotbeds for racial tension. Farai Chideya moderates a conversation about race and ual identity, the proposition's impact on American politics, and the future of coalition building between blacks and gays. She speaks with Gary Gates, distinguished professor from the Charles R. Williams institute on ual Orientation Law and Public policy at University of California Los Angeles; Patrick Sammon, President of the Log Cabin Republicans; and Ron Buckmire, Board President of the Barbara Jordan/ Bayard Rustin Coalition.

JOE QUEENAN MAKES AN iMPORTANT POiNT. We underestimate Sarah Palin at our peril. She plays the right-wing cultural resentment fiddle like no politician i've ever seen, and you don't have to be Einstein (or know what Africa is) to do that. Sarah Palin is dangerous, especially with economic hard times approaching, and a black man in the White House. Laugh at her all you want, but she'll take that laughter and use it to help fuel her run for the Presidency (see "cultural resentment fiddle" above). She is extraordinarily appealing to a large swath of American voters, and Barack Obama only won this election by six percentage points. i disagree with Paul Begala. Sometimes in politics, "mean" works. Bill Maher, Paul Begala, Farai Chideya and Joe Queenan talk about the Sarah Palin and the future of the Republican Party. "Real Time with Bill Maher", November 7, 2008.
