(1,591 posts)"too many of us are now black, or Latino, or Gay or Asian or Muslim " .............. the hell does that have to do with it. really. don't hide behind your soft racism of not believing minorities are capable of accomplishing one of the most basic needs to survive in a society.
Without identification, what can you legally do ? you can't work, drive, apply for credit,....... you can't even go to the bar without ID. Yet you seem to think simply by being a minority, you are so handicapped that you are forced to give up your veteran fought for right to vote ? Here in NM, you don't even have to be a citizen, and well give you a state drivers license ......... BECAUSE YOU NEED IDENTIFICATION TO EXIST IN SOCIETY. The only time you have a problem with ID is voting, why does anyone have to have ID for anything ? Why should I have to prove I'm not you ?
Again, I don't understand why you think minorities are incapable of having ID. Regardless of sex, religion, sexual orientation or even allergy to processed food .............. I'm the one that doesn't think asking everyone to prove they are who they are, when they cast the ballot for the most powerful government in the world, is somehow more difficult if you are a part of a minority group?
