DOJ: Racism MUST Continue
A former DOJ Official
says that racism MUST continue to be enforced by the federal government or all blacks in the entire state of North Carolina will immediately become slaves again working on plantations harvesting cotton and tobacco. And unfortunately, he's supported by President Bush and both parties of Congress.
At issue is the "voting rights Act" -- which ensures, well, no one's really sure what it ensures, other than prohibiting the state from asking for any form of identification at the polls, encouraging voter fraud. But hey, if the federal government doesn't have oversight, slavery is just around the corner -- at least according to supporters of re-authorizing this "law."
And this bill will ensure that blacks can vote for blacks -- because, again, according to supporters of this law, white people cannot apparently represent black people in government so they have to be forced to vote for people of the same skin color. Can't trust them black folk to vote for a white person now, can we -- at least that's the attitude of this law and those who support it.

Ogre, you mischaracterized the Voting Rights Act completely. It allows identification - as I'm sure you're well aware as a North Carolina voter. The Voting Rights Act was one of the final laws to prohibit Jim Crow like discrimination. It prohibited literacy tests at the polling station. While literacy tests themselves might seem objective, their administration most certainly wasn't. Nor was the right to vote ever tied to the ability to read. Sure, we could disenfranchise the poor and nonnative English speakers (and a bunch of our ancestors), but that would be unAmerican - hence the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
I can't tell if you think discrimination doesn't exist or if you think minorities don't deserve to vote.

No, you are completely incorrect. Under the voting rights act, NO voting place in North Carolina is permitted to ask for ANY form of identification at the voting place.
And your straw man of the minority only shows that you seem to hate minorities and are implying that they are too stupid to obtain identification. Why are you so racist?

Under the Federal Voting Rights Act, NC is permitted to ask for identification. http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/voting/intro/intro_b.htm
Obviously, when you misconstrued my final statement, you missed my prior mention of the application of literacy tests.
However, I never said I wasn't racist.

You can interpret it however you like -- but the courts and the departments of elections have determined that North Carolina is not allowed to ask for id.
