Requiring photo ID is “racist,” except when it’s done by Obama, the NAACP, unions, or any other liberals

In March 2012, Obama’s Justice Department blocked Texas’s voter ID requirement, claiming that it was “racist.”

However, Obama’s Justice Department required photo ID for everyone who enters.

So let’s say that in 2012, someone was denied their right to vote because they didn’thave voter ID, and they wanted to file a lawsuit at the Justice Department. But because they didn’t have photo ID, they couldn’t have gotten get into the Justice Department in the first place!

This video is from 2012. Beginning at 2:39, we see that Obama’s Justice Department required photo ID for everyone who entered:

The same video also shows that you need photo ID in order to enter other liberal organizations which claim that requiring voter ID is “racist,” including the Advancement Project (at 1:38), the Center for American Progress (2:08), and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (2:23).

At a July 2012 NAACP event, NAACP President Ben Jealous claimed that requiring voter ID was “racist.” However, at that very same event, the NAACP required photo ID in order to get into the event in the first place!

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Britain, India, and South Africa all require photo ID in order to vote, but U.S. liberals don’t consider those countries’ requirements to be “racist.”

In January 2012, Illinois passed a law that required buyers of drain cleaner to show photo ID, but liberals didn’t accuse this requirement of being “racist.”

In June 2012, Michelle Obama required photo ID in order to attend her book signings, but liberals didn’t accuse her of being “racist.”

In June 2012, Barack Obama required photo ID in order to attend his campaign events, but liberals didn’t accuse him of being “racist.”

In December 2017, for every performance of the play “Hamilton” at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, 40 tickets were sold for a special low price of $10 each. To get these tickets, you had to apply online. A lottery randomly chose 40 winners for each performance. Winners were required to show photo ID when they showed up to see the play. But liberals didn’t accuse this theater of being “racist.”

This article from Politico includes the following photograph of a labor union that requires photo ID in order for its members to vote, but liberals didn’t accuse this union of being “racist”:

Minorities can’t buy beer, rent a car, check out a book, or board a plane if them having valid ID is so very hard that it is racist.

Wait ... they can do all those things? Daily? Darn, I guess voter ID isn’t racist after all.

... Still, “racism” is whatever Leftist claim it to be and what this is really about is them wanting to steal elections however they can...

Without changes to election laws, such as, Voter ID, election day in-person voting only, military bases have polls (even overseas), no absentee ballots, no mail-in ballots...if you can’t get to your poll, tough sh*t...If we don’t get changes made, we will stay the “Banana Republic” we’ve become this election....

At a minimum, voter proof of identification on absentee ballots should require that a notary public attests to their validity. The mail in ballots: absentee and other wise are currently too easy to manufacture. Sure this requirement would make that type of voting a little harder, but actually physically going to the polls isn’t easy either.

Have you all seen the photos on the new green cards? They make very fair complected people look brown.

To clarify, the newer green card photo will make an extremely light skinned redhead look very tinted: brown.
