Then how the hell could they get to a voting booth on election days whether there was a voter ID law or not? You do realize there are white people that are poor as well right?

So not only are you fricking retarded when it comes to gun legislation. You're fricking retarded when it comes to history too?


Actually, you and the other tRUMPtards here are the ones who are sadly ignorant when it comes to history and guns. Once you get out of high school and if you go to any reasonably decent college, you will be required to read REAL history regarding the cause of the American Civil War, and you will be disabused of the pablum that you were spoon-fed by all the ignorant rednecks you've been around. All one needs to know why the Southern states seceded is to read the statements of secession their legislatures issued when they declared their secession from the Union. You will find that it was in defense of the institution of slavery and their "way of life" (which was based upon slavery). If you stop reading the crap by Harry Turtledove and start reading serious history books, you would know this elementary fact. Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and the other treasonous secessionists should have been hanged for putting the nation threw shear Hell for four years and causing the deaths of over 600,000 Americans. And they were just lucky that Lincoln didn't want that (mass hangings of the traitors in the South). And it's so sad to see the flag of treason being flown by ignorant rednecks when our nation is at war today.

Putting up a statue of Marion Barry is like flying a Rebel flag in your yard or getting a neck tattoo.

It lets us normal people know you are an idiot who should be avoided

If you'd bother to see my earlier post, you will see that I'm actually against putting up a statue of Marion Berry, also.

At least I don't fly the flag of treason like you ignorant redneck trash do at a time when our nation is at war. The one true flag of MY country is the Stars and Stripes, not the stars and bars that white trash racists wave.

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.


Pretty sure it isn’t some rich white guy giving some bitch 3-4 kids from 2-3 dads.

Not some rich white guy not prioritizing school in their child’s life.

Not some rich white guy forcing them to not do anything useful to improve their lives despite having tons of free time.

Take that crying bullshite somewhere else. Just bc someone isn’t dealt a good hand doesn’t mean they can’t win.

I wasn’t talking about you. Just commenting generally.

Yours was the last post, so I clicked reply on it.

Well, you applied your remark to me, so I just wanted to clarify my stance on that. Personally, I'm against lionizing Marion Barry with a statue as well as lionizing people like Robert E. Lee who fought to destroy the Union with statues in taxpayer supported public places. As far as I'm concerned, Robert E. Lee should have been hanged for treason against the United States.

In a union made up of individual states why couldn't the individual states in the South leave?

No the Republicans condemn crackheads, blacks and Democrats for sure.....but they'll forgive a child molester

Probably will be pretty hard to get out and vote too. I guarantee if these people only get to go to town once in a while, they are going to get an ID, not going to vote. You actually need an ID, you don't need to vote.

As long as we are making generalizations, poor people are also more likely to smoke and drink, and will thus need IDs.

You'd be hard pressed to find a man as great as Marion Berry. Well, as far as crackheads go, at least .

I don't give 2 shits about confederate statues coming down but a statue of Marion Barry is a head scratcher to me. Maybe I don't know enough about him.

At least Marion Barry was on the winning side of the civil war.

You post like a damn yankee queer. You do not understand the South and are trying to force your myopic views where they are not wanted.

The south fought for honor, for the right to not be bullied. Sadly we lacked only the productive resources to finish the job.

Take your pablum back North. We don’t need your revisionist crap.
