Isn’t that racist because 1 in 4 black people is allegedly unable to acquire any kind of government issued ID?

They'd probably have to get something passed by the state legislature to accomplish that, but I'm sure they're working on it. One look at the organization's logo tells you all you need to know...

I don’t believe that 25% of the black populace doesn’t have a government photo id.

You can’t buy smokes or malt liquor without a photo id. If 25% of the black population was locked out of buying menthols and Colt 45 American corporations would have demanded this situation is resolved.
