Someone Explain to Me How Voter IDs are racist?

[Kadagar_AV]

It has racial consequences, but to say its racist means that the people who came up with the laws had the notion of targeting people of a certain race. That's not true, they are targeting people of a certain political persuasion. Neither is good, but if you can't see the difference its because race is an all-consuming factor in your posts of late...

I agree on the latest part, I have been rather obsessive. Just had a relative (cousin) assault raped by a black person.

To answer the rest, if it's racially motivated has little to nothing to do with if it's racist or not. A law can in effect be racist regardless of the motivation of the law.

You can make laws forbidding people to dress as tents, because people don't like tents. The EFFECT of the law would still be racial though, as it would target arabic women.
