A band of racists

[Triton]

Every time the subject of voter id is brought up liberals tell us how the very idea is "Unamerican." They tell us that it is predominately minorities and the elderly that will be affected. When all else fails they tell us that voter id laws are obviously racist and that if we support them then we are racist too.

Okay got it. So if we request that someone show us ID to prove that they are who they say they are then we are racists. I had no idea that everyone that rents out an apartment, sells alcohol or rents you a car is racist but okay. Who knew that the TSA was staffed exclusively by racists who demand to see some form of id, but okay.

Well as it turns out that paladin of equality and civil rights Eric Holder has been revealed to be nothing but a stinking dirty racist:

The United States Attorney General Eric Holder spoke on Tuesday at the NAAPC’s annual convention in Houston, Texas. His topic was – in part – about fighting Texas for wanting to demand that people have to show their ID before voting in Texas’s elections.


Holder told his NAACP audience that he will do everything in his power to keep the voter ID law from being enacted.

Holder said:

<I> will not allow political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens of their most precious right.

The attorney general said that the law is unfair because some people would have to travel great distances to obtain an ID, and he believes there are people who simply cannot afford to get the required ID.

While Holder’s big concern about the voter ID law is that it would be prejudiced against minorities, it has been learned that persons entering the NAACP convention to hear Holder speak were required to show two picture identification cards - or they were turned away at the door.

It seems that holder is a bit worried about security and wants to make sure only people that are supposed to get in to see him give his speech... about why the state of Texas doesn't need to take any precautions with its election process to insure that it is secure and only the right people vote.

Hello hypocrisy? Is that you calling?

So Bill Clinton, America's "first black president" was a racist?

ATF Rul. 79-7 has been superseded by an amendment to the GCA. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Act), which took effect in 1994, mandated the use of photo identification documents for transfers subject to the Act. Under the permanent provisions of the Brady Act, which went into effect on November 30, 1998, a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer is generally required to initiate a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) prior to transferring a firearm to an unlicensed individual.

The Brady Act requires a licensee to identify the nonlicensed transferee by examining a valid government-issued identification document that contains the photograph of the holder. See 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(1)(C). This requirement applies to all over-the-counter transfers, even where the transferee holds a permit that qualifies as an exception to the requirement for a NICS check at the time of transfer. 27 CFR 178.124(c)(3)(i).

The Brady Act incorporates the definition of an "identification document" provided by 18 U.S.C. 1028(d)(2), which is set forth in relevant part as follows:

[A] document made or issued by or under the authority of the United States Government, a State, political subdivision of a State, a foreign government, political subdivision of a foreign government, an international governmental or an international quasi-governmental organization which, when completed with information concerning a particular individual, is of a type intended or commonly accepted for the purpose of identification of individuals.

ATF regulations further require that the identification document must contain the name, residence address, date of birth, and photograph of the holder. 27 CFR 178.11.

I'm not sure. On thinking about it maybe liberals will tell us that holder isn't a racist because even though he is racistly (is that a word?) asking people to show id, he's black which means that he can't be racist. Similarly since clinton was the "first black president" perhaps he can't be a racist either.

On a related note, Obama might regret not attending the NAACP convention.

“the American economy is in a halt” and even “mainstream whites are talking about” our country’s decline.

“Can the Democratic Party really save us, locally and nationally, or are we just holding on because we ain’t got nothing better? Are we just being fired up for this election, to go out here and give some votes, and all of the core concerns of the black community will be thrown to the side when November gets passed?”

“Is the Democratic Party going to help with that? Is that even on their agenda, on their radar? Are your concerns being addressed, or are you being used like a whore? That’s the main point here.”

Shabazz reiterated his point by telling his listeners once again:

“We don’t want to be used like whores and prostitutes, we have to pay attention — we have to take charge of our post, accept our own and be ourselves, and stop jiving in bullsh*t.”

This isn't a good political topic. It is a partisan attack. Try harder to find a reasonable topic for a discussion.
