Isn't arguing that voter ID is bigotted against minorities racist?

All these lefties that claim that voter ID laws and shorter early voting periods are racist and disenfranchise minorities - isn't this way of thinking racist in and of itself?
They are basically saying that minorities are so inept, so inferior, so incompetent, that they are unable to obtain a voter ID or get to the polls within 3 or 4 weeks.
That sounds awfully racist to me. Saying minorities are so incompetent that they can't even do a task as simple as going to vote, or obtaining an ID.

the subtle racism of lowered expectations is the new racism of the Democratic party, replacing Jim Crow of the first half of the 20th century

No, it isn't. Racism is just the only thing they can spew that will deflect the importance of their needing to be a voter ID law.

The modern dem party treats personal responsibility like poll taxes

i do love watching tuba try his flippant responses to comments about personal responsibility
it's basically along these lines: oh so you did the right thing? congrats. why should i care?

No.
The argument is dumb because the laws as written aren't inherently racist. In some areas they do impact minority voters, but that doesn't make them inherently racist.
It's just another ploy to keep certain voters from voting and it conjures up the poll quizzes and taxes from the Jim Crow era, so they get slapped with that label by some.

requiring voter ID isn't bigotted or racist imo, but you'd have to be extremely naive to think that some of the efforts of lawmakers prior to the 2012 election to get these voter ID laws passed wasn't an attempt at hurt the Democrats
I'm all in favor of requiring picture ID in order to vote

It has really shined through nationally in the bastardization of the "restrict access to" phrase especially regarding healthcare.
Posted on 9/30/14 at 8:32 am to goldennugget
Yes. The idea that certain groups aren't quite up to the task of obtaining photo identification falls within the dictionary definition of racism.

This would be valid, except that almost all the voter ID laws included provisions for free ID's

So the argument is of course democrats cheat but fixing the cheating will only help republicans so it's racist.

You make both an excellent point and an accurate one, goldennugget.
The problem is, this issue has nothing to do with logic. The Dems demagogue this "issue" for at least two reasons. For one, they like to scare minorities into thinking that it's still 1962, and that big, bad white men are still plotting to take away their right to vote. For anyone who either watched or heard Eric Holder's resignation announcement, both Obama and (especially) Holder harped on how hard Holder had worked to protect the voting rights of all Americans. That was a total sham, but it resonates with Keisha and Tyrone, and the liberal media reports it like it's a real issue, too.
Secondly, the less security you have regarding voting and elections, the easier it is to commit voter fraud. That's almost exclusively a tactic employed by the Dems, and they are more than happy with the status quo.
Just one more instance where Obama, Holder and most Dems show themselves to be phonier than a $3 bill.
Obtw, delegates to the 2012 Democratic National Convention were not allowed inside the facility where the convention was being held unless they could provide a valid photo ID.
Oh, the irony......

Well of course.
Everyone knows blacks are too stupid and poor to obtain an ID!
Seriously... I don't care who you are, if you are against voter ID, you have serious issues.

Cheating is more rampant in election fraud, and both sides are guilty as hell in that. Wonder why republicans aren't pushing laws to address those issues?
