Liberal opposition to Voter ID's is sickeningly racist (VIDEO shows you their true face)

But the right has targeted black folks and POC for years to make it harder to vote --- these are not my words, these are the rights stragetists words.

So are those liberals wrong for that? Did they happen to find a couple of AA that are corroborate their story?

Cool they targeted what is presumably middle class black people...

The left pause and concern is for POOR POC who are affected by these measures more than anyone else.

This video is a hack and is so off base that it's laughable

Presumably?

Why is that presumption made?

Did we not presume that about those liberal college kids?

I presumed they were liberal. I made no presumption as to their financial status.

Can I not project a POSITIVE stereotype onto black people?

Sure. You can also make baseless presumptions because the only foundation you have to support your worldview demands that such presumptions be made.

Well, technically the laws passed making it "harder" to vote are equally applied to all citizens. The right (more specifically, the GOP) is just taking advantage of the tendencies of black folks not to make the effort required to meet the eligibility requirements.

Just curious, when a state legislative body reduces the number of days or hours that registered voters can cast ballots prior to the actual election date (as Florida did in 2011), does that make the state more discrimatory against blacks than a state like Connecticut that doesn't allow early voting at all?

How do POOOOOOR POC sign up for government benefits without valid ID's?

And what do you have against middle class blacks?

How do they drive? Buy alcohol? Buy cigs? Get their meds? Get a hotel room? Fly? Go to the casino?

well at least you've admitted it. But youre banking it on a 1700s, false, and racist stereotype of blacks as lazy and shiftless. Not saying you are, but thats what you (and the GOP in your words) are basing their reasoning on. Is that not prejudice coinciding with a discriminatory political tactic?

Perhaps the "lack of effort" is compounded by various real world measures, many which are noted. Impossible literacy tests, even for the educated. Lack of economic flexibility that doesn't allow them to get to DMVs during work hours (this is a bummer for everyone, i realize, but it compounds on the problems the poor already face). Lack of knowledge, etc ... I could go on about REAL reasons why this bloc faces the problems it does when getting an ID, but its easier to give way to lazy, baseless, self-perpuating stereotypes that fill the archetype for how we believe they are innately.
