   I think it would be easier to make a list of things that aren’t racist.

   Do black people lack the skill set to acquire ID? Or is this the problem?

   No they’re not.

   Since, as we all know, it’s the poor, and especially women and minorities, and in particular especially poor minority women who rely on public transit because they can’t afford a personal vehicle who lack photo ID, having no particular reason to have such an ID in the first place.

   Clearly what’s needed is a community organized effort to make sure the racist practices of the banks are brought to an end so that everyone can get the financial assistance they need so that they can buy a green compliant car.

   And those greedy bastards who run the airlines should be forced to let the benighted among us fly for free.

   This law also disenfranchises illegals from Canada, so they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about, eh?

   If your driver’s license is required to buy an adult beverage in an airport in another state, doesn’t the entire concept of official identification fall under the purview of the Commerce Department as per Wickard?

    Why don’t we call a spade a spade and just say people who don’t have photo ids have something to hide?

    When Robert Klein Engler–a conservative professor at Roosevelt University–was fired from his position, he was upset. He was frustrated. And he was completely in the dark.

    University officials refused to specify exactly why he had been let go, and did not divulge the details until two months after the firing, in August of 2010. The reason? He told a politically incorrect joke. Now Engler is suing the university and its union for failing to protect his academic freedom. …

    It took months for the university to explain the nature of the harassment charge, and it involved only one student, who had come complained about a joke Engler made in his City and Citizenship course. class. The joke was told during a discussion of Arizona’s immigration law. In jest, Engler said, “A group of sociologists did a poll in Arizona regarding the state’s new immigration law. Sixty percent said they were in favor, and 40 percent said, ‘No hablo Ingles.’”

    […] Don’t they know that black people can’t get ID’s? Ah, to think back to those heady days of racial freedom in America, where one didn’t need to be White to get a driver’s license or a passport or a picture ID… […]
