Ami Horowitz: Do Voter ID Laws Suppress the Black Vote?

Ami Horowitz takes to the streets to find out what people think about voter ID laws and whether they result in discrimination.

My jaw still drops when I hear young, "educated" children say the most racist things with conviction.

[TheAmazingLucas]

LMFAO They honestly see themselves as white saviors. smh.

You need an ID to drive, it doesn't suppress the black vote but it sure does suppress the illegal vote!

[WORF]

If you fly on a plane you need an ID.
If you drive a car you need ID.
If you cash a check you need ID.
So if you want to vote get an ID!!!

[dereklea]

If an ID is required to buy alcohol, cigarettes, firearms, etc., then why shouldn't it be required to vote?

[JH-D]

I’m black, and damn it’s not like we disabled..I’ve never met a black person without ID either..I’d figure this would actually be a bigger problem with Hispanics since a lot of them lack documentation.

[donedidit]

This video is old but still a classic.

[UnblockedOne]

That girl at 1:15 basically just called African Americans a bunch if convicted felons.

If we put this video as an ad for the midterms, there is no doubt that liberals will be pissed 100%. There will be a red wave once we spread this video and get it trending.

[NicolePoliskey]

This is why I am no longer a liberal. I could not sit in a room and Liston to people patronize, and have the "hero" mindset for other people. We need to stop the liberal, condescending attitudes. Black people don't need or want their pity.

[grownupgaming]

Amazing the grace of the black people in the video, refusing to call it outright racism but giving them the benefit of the doubt and just saying it's ignorance.

[ABQSentinel]

The "disadvantaged poor" who would supposedly be suppressed by voter ID laws, seem to have no problem navigating the convoluted processes which grant their government benefits (which ALSO requires a photo ID), so I'm reasonably confident that all legitimate voters would be able to exercise their right without too much trouble.

[TheNellNadie]

As a black person hearing someone say "Black people are less likely to have state ID" feels INCREDIBLY racist.

[geoffreybrockmeier]

I will never get tired of this video. These college kids are the definition of an NPC.

[ttothed]

This level of ignorance STILL blows my mind. The superiority complex that has been ingrained into their minds!!! Unreal.

[zabimaru]

Wow, check out the superiority on some of these folks on the college campus.

[masonsmama]

"These type of people" "They're not aware" "They're not informed" 🤦‍♀️

[matthewbyrd]

Thats called racism by ignorance. Those are the same people who say, “I’m not racist; I have a black friend.”

[FrozenCappucino]

Those college kids, bless their hearts, have the best intentions, yet what they’re saying are racist and classist.

[icemanm]

Soft bigotry of low expectations.


Sad, , Very Sad...
