Given that one of the base characteristics of a "liberal" is the certainty that they're smarter than other people, it's not so much racism as it is smug superiority over everyone.
I'm sure you don't think you're smarter than liberals. Or is it not smug superiority when you're doing it?
Is it that superior intelligence makes people smug, or is it that insecurity makes dumb people vindictive and nasty?
Yes. Of course not. It's self-evident fact. That I allow you lesser beings to bask in the glory of my magnificence is one of the benefits of Wordforge.
The video is pretty funny in that it shows how fucking stupid American university students can be Saying that, using low hanging fruit like that to prove your point is pretty meh I got no problem using photo ID to vote, i have to whip it out every time i do, same as everyone else. No one bitches and somehow we manage to function as a society
Yet another difference between Canada and the "United" States. P.S. You do know the video is satire, right?
Well i do know that leftist American college students are something of a caricature, yes. Not intentionally mind you.
My mother is a very intelligent person. Scholarship to Vanderbilt, Masters Degree, co-founder/owner of a telecommunications company w/over 100 employees, etc. I say that not to brag, but to give context for the below. A few years ago Alabama decided to pass that ALEC asshole anti-immigrant bill. It didn't last. Took one failed harvest season and a Toyota Senior Engineer and the VP of Mercedes Benz spending nights in jail b/c they were travelling without their papers and then the law was gutted. Anyway, didn't last but still wreaked havoc. My family had a farmhand Clint that worked for us since the 80s. He can't read or write so no DL. Someone would pick him up and drop him off and he rode a fourwheeler during the day. Anyway he doesn't have a birth certificate. In fact doesn't even know his exact birthday. To make matters worse, he was from Wilcox county, which is about as Boonie as you can get. No records. Under the new law, he couldn't prove he was a US Citizen and my family couldn't employ him. My mother spent MONTHS trying to navigate the system and get Clint legalized. Eventually gave up and just paid cash. America!
OP, of course the black folks in fucking New York City can access the DMV. They're not the issue. It's the rural folks in bumfuck Deep South and so forth.
Just for clarity... photo ID isn't required to vote in a Canadian federal election (nor in Ontario). Here's the list of what will allow you to vote here. 1) Show one of these pieces of ID your driver's licence your provincial or territorial ID card any other government card with your photo, name and current address You can use ID with your mailing address if that address appears in your voter registration file. If you're not sure what address we have on file, check your voter registration. OR 2) Show two pieces of ID At least one must have your current address health card Canadian passport birth certificate certificate of Canadian citizenship citizenship card social insurance number card Indian status card band membership card Métis card card issued by an Inuit local authority Canadian Forces identity card Veterans Affairs health card old age security card hospital card medical clinic card label on a prescription container identity bracelet issued by a hospital or long-term care facility blood donor card CNIB card credit card debit card employee card student identity card public transportation card library card liquor identity card parolee card firearms licence licence or card issued for fishing, trapping or hunting utility bill (e.g. electricity; water; telecommunications services including telephone, cable or satellite) bank statement credit union statement credit card statement personal cheque government statement of benefits government cheque or cheque stub pension plan statement residential lease or sub-lease mortgage contract or statement income tax assessment property tax assessment or evaluation vehicle ownership insurance certificate, policy or statement correspondence issued by a school, college or university letter from a public curator, public guardian or public trustee targeted revision form from Elections Canada to residents of long-term care facilities letter of confirmation of residence from a First Nations band or reserve or an Inuit local authority letter of confirmation of residence, letter of stay, admission form or statement of benefits from one of the following designated establishments: student residence seniors' residence long-term care facility shelter soup kitchen We accept e-statements and e-invoices. Print them or show them on a mobile device. OR 3) If your ID does not have your current address, take an oath Show two pieces of ID with your name and have someone who knows you attest to your address. This person must show proof of identity and address, be registered in the same polling division, and attest for only one person.
Let's play a little game called "If @Anduril were around during the Jim Crow era" ... The law: "You have to pass a literacy test before you can vote." Those dirty dangerous liberals: "Because for many years it was illegal to teach a black man to read, and because the effects of education are multigenerational, illiteracy rates are higher among black people than among white people. Therefore, this law disproportionately disenfranchises black people." Anduril: "Are you saying black people are illiterate? You racist!" The law: "You have to pay a poll tax to vote." Those dirty dangerous liberals: "That means the poorer you are, the less likely you are to be able to vote. Statistically, black people are more likely to be poor than white people. The reasons for this include decades of institutional racism and policies intended to deny opportunities to black people." Anduril: "Are you saying all black people are poor? You racist!" The law: "You can vote as long as your grandfather had the right to vote in 1850." Those dirty dangerous liberals: "Well, now you're not even trying to hide your intentions." Anduril: "Are you saying black people have black grandfathers? You racist!"
^I figured @Ten Lubak was just grandstanding as usual. @Anduril probably believes TL is taking his side.
Editted video is dumb. It is simply a fact the Republicans are trying to surpress black votes. That is just reality.
