Immerse yourself in 19th-century writings, and you will discover that Democrat slaveholders and segregationists considered themselves the “Negro’s best friend.”
That supposed friendship, of course, required that the “Negro” play a role as grateful recipient of the condescending Democrat’s beneficence.
That attitude continues to this day. For instance, in a clip posted to the social media platform X, Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures of Alabama, a black man, asked a group of nearly 100 attendees at a town hall meeting, most of them black, to raise their hands if they did not have an ID, only to discover that not one person in attendance raised his or her hand.
Oops. That didn’t go as planned. It turns out that black Americans have no problem acquiring IDs.
According to WALA-TV in Mobile, Alabama, the embarrassing moment occurred Monday inside Truevine Missionary Baptist Church in Toulminville, a Mobile neighborhood.
Figures, a freshman Democrat, tried to prove that the SAVE America Act would have a disenfranchising effect.
“So regardless about how you feel about voter ID, right, this is not about that,” Figures said. “This is about ease of registration, right?”
Curiously, having declared voter ID irrelevant, the congressman proceeded to ask attendees about IDs.
“The most common form of ID that everybody has is a driver’s license, right?” he continued. “Look, I’m of a different era. I’m of a different generation. I probably feel a little bit differently about it. Watch this: How many people in here do NOT have an ID?”
As any reasonable person would expect, not one hand went into the air.
Incredibly, however, Figures seemed surprised.
“Everybody has an ID,” he admitted after a few awkward moments of silence. “So I thought something a little bit different.”

I don't know any adult without ID, even my 12 year old has 5 different government IDs (Yes I acknowledge that is really unusual (includes Passport, Mil dep ID, GOES ID)).
The dem ID scam is all about voter fraud not voter protection.
Democrats are hopeless, and stupid.
Yet, people still vote for them.
“What are you going to do, vote Republican?”
Start speading these 2 clips from dems. THIS will tick off the POC. Maybe they will turn on the dem party when they hear THIS.
We need to start tellings the POC that Sen Jaypal said “Dems want to give Illegals REPARATIONS for all they suffered under ICE”. So, the POC have been working to receive reparations for a LONG time and now dems are going to give THEIR reparations to those here illegally? THAT might change their vote or at least stop them from voting for a dem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJz0P2FNhzs Starts right away and Jaypal speaks at abt 10 seconds in.
Also Bill Murray in 2024 said, “The people dems care abt most are ILLEGAL ALIENS”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=einw0n_eswQ
Whoops, that didn’t go like he planned. I foresee a campaign ad.
And racist. Extremely racist, as this example proved.
A classic on this subject from 7 years ago:

Ami Horowitz: Do Voter ID Laws Suppress the Black Vote?
Ami Horowitz takes to the streets to find out what people think about voter ID laws and whether they result in discrimination.
Question No. 2 - Do Democrats think African-Americans are dumb?
Question No. 3 - Do you feel taken advantage of by the Democrat party?
“Y’awwl too stupee. to get an ID from The Man, vote for me.
Ah bees yo bess fren.”
(The Democrats’ ID scam is all about
voter FRAUD not voter protection.)
Absolutely 👍👍👍
Chances are pretty good that all attending had to produce ID to be at this Townhall event. It was a stupid question to ask.
I’m surprised he didn’t put a few plants in the audience. That’s what Dems do.
I discovered a purse left in a buggy in the Walmart parking lot. I had to go through it in order to find out who to return it to. As it happened, she lived about two miles away, so I took it to her. It was a black female; she had three government IDs.
Did she THANK YOU?
You need an id to get into a movie theatre.... Everybody has a freaking id. If you don’t you are either a criminal or an illegal. Period!
The difficulty regarding ID is not debated for the Black Democrat.
It is discussed by and for the white suburban liberal.
Who then ‘whitesplain’ it to the media.
Which keeps the Black Democrat on the “plantation”.
That’s because folks who vote for the rat party are willfully ignorant.
Don’t forget misogynistic.
Yes.
Can’t get past their cyber whatever.
