Because it's not targeting a specific race? I always carry my passport with me when I travel, personally, i don't see the problem. Unless I'm missing something?

 

Might be a problem for people who don't have a passport, but how is that racist?

Because requiring people to show identification  targets minorities and is an attempt to disenfranchise people of color , by the man

It's been proclaimed here in CEHST many,  many times.

It's funny. There are laws requiring id for tobacco and alcohol but no one calls that racist. However if you want to check id before people vote you are a grand dragon.

I'm not that old yet

 

I've heard this irl, but haven't come across someone who really feels discriminated for that reason. As far as I know you need an ID for basically everything. 

 

Profiling is a different matter though.

Would you feel better if we took up that "this is racist chant"?  made some sign and marched with dirty hair and black t-shirts?   Cuz we will do that for you if you feel more comfortable and validated.

And if every voter in the state or country had to show an ID, it wouldn't be racist, would it?

Oh man…..you are not a good liberal. A good liberal will go on and on that voter id is racist, sexist, agist etc..

I agree with you.  Never seen it in my life.  If it does exist, it’s probably very rare.  

 

Makes you wonder how those who cry that it’s discriminatory to require them to have an ID to vote do all the things in life that requires an ID?  Alcohol, cigs, vehicles, marriage, etc.  I realize not everyone owns a car, but those other things are pretty common, I reckon.  

 

Oh well...

    It has come up from time to time. 

 

  The U.S. Supreme Court has once again declined to reinstate North Carolina's strict voter ID law, which was struck down last year after a court ruled it was intentionally designed to stop African-Americans from voting.
