The late 1960s must have felt like the end of the world for the racist republican party. Their Jim Crow laws that skewed the vote to keep them in power were repealed. Their political thugs, the KKK were forced into hiding. What was the Party of Racism to do?
Well, they came up with an insidious plan: to force minorities to show an identification card to vote. Knowing this to be beyond their means, the republicans ensured that the vote would be "racially pure" and tend toward their fanatical racist ideology. What makes this plan particularly insidious is how it hides behind the veil of "fraud prevention". The mouth-breathing, tobacco chewing, faux news watching knuckle-draggers can pretend they're not racist. But those among us educated in Social Justice at our universities understand what is happening.

Not only are minorities excluded from our Democracy, but from our society in general.

I hope you'll continue reading and discover the horrible facts.
