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

The people who claim that requiring photo ID is “racist” have a huge double standard. Here are some examples of this double standard:
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!

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 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.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook said it’s racist to require voter ID. However, Apple requires photo ID for all of its customers who buy one of their phones.

69% of black people are in favor of requiring photo ID to vote
75% Support Voter ID Laws
March 17, 2021
As the U.S. Senate considers legislation that would revamp America’s election laws, voters still overwhelmingly support laws requiring that voters show identification before casting a ballot.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 75% of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to vote. Only 21% are opposed to such a requirement. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Thirty-six states have enacted some form of voter ID law, but those laws would be nullified if the Senate approves H.R. 1, which passed the House on a party-line vote. Critics say H.R. 1 “would force states to allow anyone to vote who simply signs a form saying that they are who they claim they are.”
Support for voter ID laws has actually increased since 2018, when 67% said voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to vote.
Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans support voter ID requirements, as do 60% of Democrats and 77% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

The survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on March 14-15, 2021 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Democrats have claimed that voter ID laws discriminate against black voters and other minorities, but voters reject that claim by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. Sixty percent (60%) say laws requiring photo identification at the polls don’t discriminate, while 31% say voter ID laws do discriminate. Ten percent said they are not sure.
A majority of Democrats (51%) say voter ID laws are discriminatory, while 79% of Republicans and 67% of unaffiliated voters say requiring identification at the polls is not discriminatory.
Majorities of whites (74%), blacks (69%) and other minorities (82%) say voters should be required to show photo identification before being allowed to vote. Voters under 40 support voter ID laws more than do older voters.
Voters who strongly approve of Joe Biden’s job performance as president were most likely to say voter ID laws are discriminatory.
After widespread use of mail-in ballots during last year’s election, 39% of voters said mail-in voting led to unprecedented voter fraud and 47% believed Democrats stole votes or destroyed pro-Trump ballots in several states to ensure that Biden would win.
Last month, a majority of voters said they believed the 2020 election was decided fairly, but 61% of Republicans said Biden did not win the election fairly.

Video: Check out these quotes from racist white liberals saying that black people don’t know how to obtain photo ID, and don’t know how to use the internet
In the first half of this video, racist white liberals say that black people don’t know how to obtain photo ID, and don’t know how to use the internet.
In the second half of the video, black people prove that the racist white liberals are wrong. Black people do in fact know how to obtain photo ID, and do indeed know how to use the internet.
Here are some of the quotes from the racist white liberals:
0:43 “These type of people don’t live in areas with easy access to DMVs or other places where they can get identification”
1:02 “They don’t have the knowledge of how it works”
1:08 “For most of the communities, they don’t really know what is out there just because they’re not aware or they’re not informed”
