7. Wait...why is it more burdonsome for a poor black person

to obtain ID than it is for a poor white person?

I fail to see the argument here. If it's hard for poor people to get them, then poor whites would be the group most affected based on sheer numbers. Why are poor black people facing a bigger burden than their poor white counterparts?
