Ok, if that's true then ...

Going by your logic, when a black person attempts to buy a beer and has to show ID he's being "disenfranchised".

Wow, why am I not surprised that you don't even understand what that word means.

Where in the Constitution does it say you must pay a fee to exercise your rights?

States don't have to charge, they just do, you know, because taxes.

My federal right to vote can be stripped by a state poll tax?

Thanks p99 🤓

Let's review what that word means, according to Mirriam-Webster ...

Quote:

: deprived of some right, privilege, or immunity
especially : deprived of the right to vote

So yeah, equating black people's ability to participate in our democracy (something they've been systematically denied the right to do for centuries) to someone unable to buy a beer without ID: that clearly shows you understand the issues here :rolleyes:

Constitutional Right*

If you have a problem with being taxed by your local, state & federal government. That's a whole other topic.
To conclude your derailing, There are free forms of identification.

It doesn't matter what ethnicity or skin color you have. An american citizen is able to obtain valid identification. If they choose to go the route of paying $10-20 for it that is their free choice to do so.

You don't need an ID from the DMV

You understand this right?

I don't think they get that. Hopefully my response to them inspires them to seek out what is classified as identification. So they can find the free option that best fits their lifestyle.

I'm going to go do something productive with my life, but I'll leave this out here:

Or show me any neutral party with evidence that blacks do have IDs at similar rates as whites. Or show me a credible historian who won't tell me Georgia's history is chock full of racist voter suppression laws.

If you can't refute any of my three points, then you effectively agree with me. It's like if I give you three points that prove the world's round (eg. "we can see it from space that it's round"), and you keep coming at me with "but look if it was round blah blah crazy flat earth conspiracy".

It doesn't matter what conspiracy nonsense you spout: either you have something to actually dispute the photos from space ... or the world isn't flat. And similarly here, either you have something to dispute any of the three facts I stated ... or you are tacitly acknowledging that the law is one of a long line of racist Georgia laws designed to disenfranchise black voters.

Post all you want, but if it's not a logical response to the points I made, I'm not answering it.
