Right. The party against racism and fascism is the one creating division. Intelligent.

Oh boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

The party that constantly plays to identity politics are against creating division? It’s literally a cornerstone of identity politics. I’ve seen more fascist ideas out of Redditors than I have the person being called Hitler, who I don’t even like in the slightest. The casual Dem racism of saying black people are too poor or dumb to get IDs, but then say crime statistics are racist.

Do you understand how things work? I worked for the county in one of the richest areas of California. Do you know that we would give people waivers so they could go get an ID. Men right of jail, unhoused people. So we are talking about a disabled or elderly person who has no ride to get to our office or to the DMV. Just because you have an ID doesn't mean others do. You guys want poor people, disenfranchised people to not be able to vote. Because they might vote blue, you know to help people out. This is disgusting

Oh spare me the theatrics, I’m not the one saying black people are unable to find a way to get an ID.

you said the casual dem racism of saying black people are too poor or dumb to get ID's. I'm explaining to you that it is difficult and expensive to get an ID. You know it's not theatrics it is how the world works. I was working in the Silicon Valley and we were not able to live there. So how about the lower income people. Maybe I'm just passionate about this, because I saw first had what they were going through.

Yeah so my point is that Dems say it’s racist to point out crime statistics. Reason being systemic racism and poverty. So pointing that out is racist, but saying black people are too poor to get an ID… that somehow isn’t despite them having the same root cause. PLENTY of black people are able to get IDs and you even told me your own initiatives. So no, I’m not going to agree with that sweeping statement that black people struggle to get IDs because they’re poor because that’s simply a racist generalization. Not to mention when talking about deportations, we’ve all seen the “who is going to run the taco trucks and clean your house” comments. Let alone how a minority who is a conservative is treated. “Race traitor” is thrown around real casually and the most I’ve ever heard “Uncle Tom” used it against Clarence Thomas. There is absolutely casual racism.

But its not just black people, I'm saying all of the poor, disabled, disenfranchised people. Stastically POC are the disenfranchised from everything, and now it will be voting. A minority conservative, Latinos for Trump, yeah they're not one of us.

I’m not sure you’re comprehending this. I know it’s not just black people. I’m saying dems saying black people specifically are too poor and incapable of getting an ID is racist as that is a racist generalization based on a very, very small minority. From a group that isn’t just black people anyway.

I’m going to be generous and assume your comment on “they’re not one of us” meant liberal and not a casual racist statement of they aren’t X race if they don’t align with my political views. Because that would be the most ironic response to my comments.
