There's a huge difference between blaming black people for crime and wanting to prevent voter disenfranchisement that the status quo says disproportionately affects black people.
They can get ID cards.. but they are less likely to. There are all sorts of factors involved in that, which are lamentable but we won't be able to solve overnight. Taking away voting rights will probably not help us get there either.
- thewrongthinker 4y agoI swear this is literally the meme with the soyjack at the end crying “no, not like this!” There is literally no functional difference between using racial statistics to argue for segregation or against id cards. The only difference is, you like one policy and dislike the other.
- asveikau 4y agoOne is denigrating, the other is protecting voting rights. If you can't tell the difference, you may be miswired.
- thewrongthinker 4y agoI completely agree. You are denigrating black people by implying they’re retarded and can’t get something as simple as an id card, and I am protecting voting rights by supporting a measure that will aid in increasing trust in the elections.
