Good Lord, you are clearly bright enough to understand that the Dem proposition is NOT that NO Blacks can obtain a government ID, but rather that a larger percentage of Blacks than Whites lack the opportunity to do so.

I disagree with your premise. I assert that black people do not lack less of an opportunity to attain a government issued ID than white people.

Georgia requires the following to acquire an ID card:

- an identity document; a top example is a birth certificate. Perhaps your family did not maintain records, this is understandable. You can still get a certified copy from the state upon request. I had to do so once. A black person has the same opportunity to do so as I.

- a social security card; again, if you don’t know your social security number or don’t have a social security card, you can request one from your local social security office. A black person can walk into the office and do so just as I can.

- a document showing your residence and address; a top example is a bill or a bank account statement. You can open a checking account today with $0.

While a greater percentage of black people may lack ID, I argue they possess the same opportunity to attain one as white people.
