Someone Explain to Me How Voter IDs are racist?

[Ironside]

So if a law is made to discriminate against poor people and even when blacks account for a minority of poor people, then that law is racist?

Seems like strange reasoning to me...

afaik, the states pushing for stricter voter ID:s are mostly the ones that had Jim Crow laws in the past, so it has a poor history.

And you also have a disproponate laws. An UK law that hits 95% of all Sikhs and 10% of all Brits are probably racist and almost certainly aimed, even if most people affected aren't Sikhs.

I'm curious why photo ID isn't baseline in the US though. Here not having a photo ID equals living off the grid.
