I think you should have a to show I.D. or some proof of identification, be able to read and write, and shouldn't be on any government assistance. If you are dependent on the government, you shouldn't be able to vote.


Kind of like Jim Crow laws?

If someone doesn't have any valid form of ID and can't read they shouldn't be allowed to vote. I don't give a shite if they are black or not. The fact that more blacks meet that criteria than other groups is irrelevant.

The ID thing I can support, and if you receive government assistance, you should be able to vote unless there is proof of your family being on it for generations and you never having a real job. Alas my voice doesn't count but they damn sure want my tax money (taxation without representation is still a thing in this country, go figure) but that's a subject for another thread.

Exactly like Jim Crow laws except in today's time, everyone is granted the right to free education where they learn english, science, and math. If they don't take advantages of those rights, why should they be able to take advantage of the right to vote?

Who said anything about blacks or Jim Crow laws? If you say blacks and Jim Crow, I'm not the one being racist, you are. The fact that I think you should have an ID and be able to read as a requirement to vote has nothing to do with race. If you think it does, then you are a racist who thinks blacks are naturally inferior and shouldn't be held up to the same standards as the rest of society
