    absolutely it would be voter intimidation if the KKK stood in front of a poll, just like it would be voter intimidation if the Black Panthers did the same. the incident you are referring to was a photo taken of a few black men standing outside of a polling location who were then asked to leave and did so. no decent person wants to hear anyone crying the blues over their plight in life but you are referring to the exception, not the rule.

    this isn't about political correctness, it's about accepting people for who they are and not the color of their skin. there are just as many trashy ass white people as there are black people. trashiness isn't exclusive to one group or another.

    no, these are not voter fraud because not one single instance here was proved to be true. these are a list of allegations that right wing groups made during the 2012 election but not a single one of them were ever proved to be true. i find it humorous that people find it difficult to believe that not one single person from inner city Cleveland or Detroit didn't vote for Romney. Did any one check to see how many votes Obama got in Vidor, Texas?

    I cannot defend groups like the Black Panthers or the KKK because they both spread hate equally and both groups are driven by ignorance and intolerance. If you are going to use these extreme groups as an example of how to behave, then you will be no better than they are.

    I judge people by the way they treat me and others. But if it looks like a duck it's probably a duck.

    So are you saying the people of Vidor, Tx are all racist?

    I think most everyone is racist or bigoted to a degree at least deep down. And while it may not be hatred racism or bigotry per say, but think of it like this, I'm more likely to say hello and smile at an LSU fan than I am a Bama fan. I may even pre judge and that Bama fan could be 10 times cooler than the LSU fan. Same if I were overseas and ran I to an American. We just have to get to a point in society where skin color isn't even a factor. And people on opposite sides, from all races will never allow that to happen. There are haters in the white community who cite race as reasons to fear or hate someone, there are people on the minority side who will scream racism every chance they get even when it's not. Neither will ever allow the argument to die and therefore racism will always exist. I do however feel that voting laws and voter ID, is inherently racist, and it's an issue in which the statistics don't lie. So are drug penalties and our prison system.

    I hope that made sense to more people than just myself.

    I agree with a lot of that. Except showing id to vote. We have to show id's for alot of stuff that's not nearly as important.

    perfect question.....are you saying the people of inner city Cleveland are all racists?

    I get your agitation with lazy moochers. They are indeed out there and I, like you, deplore them leeching off of society. There are people who genuinely need those programs and if we cannot weed out the lazy asses looking for a free ride then it will doom the assistance for those who do need it....for real.

    I agree with the vast majority of this, LaSalle, and for that matter I think we all do. I do disagree on the issue of voter ID laws being inherently racist. Now, in fairness, when it is conducted in the manner that the Republican's tried to do during the 2012 elections when there is only three months before the election, then yes, those circumstances make it likely to discriminate against minorities. That said, if voter id laws became the law of the land a year or so before a major election then everyone would have no excuse for not obtaining the proper identification. the problem with the that is that the Libertarians would scream that the feds were just creating a national data base ya da ya da ya da....

    I just think that if they want to throw an ID law on people to vote, when in areas there never has been, or make shit like what Rick Perry either tried to do or did in Texas where a student ID can't be used, but a hunting license can be used to vote, the government should do everything they can to help those who need Id's get them. Especially the elderly. Make it easier to get ID don't close offices, and make people jump through hoops to get ID. I mean I really don't have a problem with having to show my ID to vote, but I'm young and have a car. And regardless, voter fraud is so minimal, who cares really? It's obvious why the GOP was pushing so hard to get these laws passed. So they could disenfranchise people. They can't win a national election without minority support. Bullshit congressional districts, yeah. This is another reason I think weed wont ever be legalized in the south. 9 of every 10 people that get charged with pot felonies are minorities. Felony means no voting rights. In America someone is arrested for a pot related "crimes" every 37 seconds.
