The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday compared the violent, bloody attacks on African Americans during civil rights marches in 1965 to voter ID laws passed by various states in the last few years. Co-anchor Norah O'Donnell talked to Oprah Winfrey, producer/star of the new film Selma. O'Donnell marveled, "...Given the Voting Rights Act, 1965, I went back and looked. Thirteen states have passed more restrictive voter ID laws in the last three years, that states are trying to make it harder to vote." [MP3 audio here.]
Actor David Oyelowo, who plays Martin Luther King in the film, slammed the 2013 Supreme Court decision that struck down part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He derided this as "dismantling" the act and added, "...One of the things the film does is you see the parallels two between Selma and Ferguson, you see the country hasn't changed enough, hasn't changed that much."

CBS is like NAMBLA.
How about ID laws for buying guns for self defense? Is it equally racist to do that too?
