White Liberals Think Black Voters, Married Women Are Too Stupid To Get Voter ID
Elite white liberals think black voters are helpless, incompetent, and stupid. They don’t think too highly of married women and rural Americans, either. Or poor people and Native Americans and the disabled for that matter.That condescension was on full display again this week as all but one House Democrat voted against a bill that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID at the polls. The measure passed on a party-line vote.
Why would the “Party of the People” be so vehemently opposed to a proposal overwhelmingly supported by the people — black people, brown people, white people, male and female people, even people who identify as Democrats?
Because the SAVE America Act, as the bill is dubbed (and its antecedent, the SAVE Act) is a modern-day “Jim Crow” bill, according to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“While the specific policies may have changed since the days of the Jim Crow South, the goal of the SAVE Act is the same: disenfranchising American citizens and making it harder for eligible people to vote, particularly low income Americans and people of color,” the New York Democrat said this week on the Senate floor. Think about that. legislation requiring voter ID is tantamount to the “separate but equal,” segregated South, according to representatives from the party that brought America the Jim Crow era.
Democrat allies like the group Reproductive Freedom For All, the abortion industry lobby formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, echoed the party’s race-baiting talking points.
“This legislation targets Americans who have long faced systemic barriers to the ballot box, including communities of color, people with disabilities, young people, Indigenous voters, and voters in rural and low-income neighborhoods,” the abortion-on-demand champions declared in a press release.
And what are the systemic barriers? Liberals claim — without ever being challenged by a complicit corporate media — that tens of millions of Americans “don’t have proof of citizenship readily available” and don’t know how to or can’t acquire identification. Of course these same “disenfranchised” Americans are daily using IDs to drive, buy booze and cigarettes, apply for government benefits, board an airplane …
‘That’s Just Stupidity’
A lot of black Americans find the Democrats’ anti-voter ID arguments insulting.
Will Martin, who is black and a GOP candidate for lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, has a name for the racially-tainted protective hand of white liberals: Social paternalism. It’s a kind of leftist white privilege, so to speak, in the vein of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
“It’s infuriating. It’s like they think a whole demographic of our country can’t figure out how to get an ID,” Martin told The Federalist Wednesday evening in a phone interview hours after the House’s SAVE America Act vote. “There are elites who think they know better than the individuals they claim to represent on how they should live.”
In an eye-opening video on “How white liberals really view black voters,” Ami Horowitz collects the paternalistic thoughts of some denizens of leftist enclave Berkeley, California, on voter ID laws.
“These type of people don’t live in areas with easy access to DMVs or other places where they can get identification,” one white guy told Horowitz when the documentarian asked whether voter ID suppresses the black vote.
“I feel like they don’t have the knowledge of how it works,” a young white woman said. “For most of the communities, they don’t know what is out there because they’re not aware, or, like, they’re not informed.”
That was news to some black residents of New York City’s East Harlem neighborhood.
“Why would they think we don’t have ID?” one woman incredulously asked after watching the interviews with the privileged Berkeleyites.
Another woman said she didn’t know any black adults who did not carry ID, and that the question itself is “weird.” A black man pulled out his photo ID and asked if he was on “some sort of trick Candid Camera.”
A young man summed up the assertions that poor black voters don’t have access to the internet, another barrier to obtaining an ID to vote, according to leftist “voter rights” groups.
“That’s just stupidity, honestly,” he said. “Even little kids can figure out how to work the internet.”
Those interviewed said they found the assertions Schumer — their own senator — and his fellow congressional Democrats hammered on during the voter ID debate are “ignorant,” prejudiced and “a little racist.” They all said they have no problem showing ID to vote.
