The matter was not actually passed today, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson said because someone forgot to publish it in the city register, as required by law.
I'm not surprised. The DC government, like the black caucus, is utterly corrupt and incompetent.

I lived in DC when this slimy shitball was doing his thing. The fact that they are putting up a statue of him illustrates to me that racial differences in this country cannot ever be solved.

Eddie didn't win his one ex-con election. I don't think he even came close.

Lee should have smoked crack


It wouldn't have changed the fact that he committed treason against the U.S. government and fought for a white supremacist regime that wanted to keep its slaves in bondage (and the reason, to protect the institution of slavery, that the rebelling states seceded from the Union).

(For the record, I don't think Marion Barry having a statue is a good idea either; it seems pretty stupid to lionize such a poor role model).

Liberals have low expectations for African Americans. They don't even believe they have the capacity to acquire voter ID.

At least we believe everything should be done to make it easier for Americans to vote, not harder in order to suppress the vote of people who might not vote for them like conservatives do.

You just proved my point. Why would voter ID suppress the vote of people who might not vote for them like conservatives do.

People living in poverty with no access to reliable transportation will have a very difficult time acquiring an ID.

Black people are more likely to live in those conditions.

Conservatives are the ones with a low opinion of black people because they believe that it's entirely black people's fault that they are more likely to live in poverty and refuse to acknowledge the effect institutionalized racism, discriminatory housing practices, etc, have had on the black community.

And as if that total lack of compassion and understanding wasn't enough, conservatives feel the need to go the extra mile by convincing their low information voters that illegal votes are swaying elections (which is just straight up false) all as part of a ruse to enact voter ID laws that are meant solely to make it harder for poor people, who are more likely to be minorities, to vote.

Do those people in poverty utilize govt assistance?

Guess what. THEY HAVE A frickING ID.

Oh... And I know this doesn't matter, but the vast majority of places have programs for free or extremely reduced cost ID cards.
