(46,192 posts)older black citizens in the south often don't have birth certificates.
do you realize that? because many were born outside hospitals and in racist states, there was little interest in issuing the documents or treating them as full citizens.
yet they were full citizens.
what do you propose be done about states that require birth certificates to get id and id to vote?
but maybe you want Obama to lose, maybe that's why you support these laws.
because otherwise the blatant unfairness towards those who are citizens, and elderly black people were already among the most unfairly treated citizens in this country by this country (or their state) would be something you support continuing through a new denial of the most basic right of citizenship.
i would think that story of unfairness would touch you. you often speak of the holocaust and what it did to your family on the basis of how they were born.
that you so denigrate black folks' stories of racism and institutionalized discrimination and dehumanization makes a mockery of your statements imploring us to remember the holocaust. both were the result of bigotry.
you should not be so transparent in your dismissive attitude and mocking of stories of discrimination and racism towards black people --much less laws that seek to stop them as citizens, from voting.
and the questioning of Obama's citizenship.
