I'm mad at anyone who has resentment towards Black people, because they are going to make my life harder. If you say Democrats are saying this, then you shouldn't resent Black people at all.

One minute blacks claim it's discrimination to require a voter ID because it's too hard for them. Would you hire someone that can't complete a voter registration because they claim it's too hard? That's pretty basic.
Someone's ability to work is not connected to or correlated with their right to vote. Every American should have reasonable access to voting, and the fact that the Republicans are trying to curtail this access points to their odious agenda of disenfranchisement.

Many people in the inner city and other areas where those of color reside have problems getting to the polls (especially when early voting options are limited), finding birth certificates, getting transportation to city, county or state offices, and fighting layers of bureaucracy.

Right to vote? And birth certificates are easy to obtain. And if you can't get transportation then how can you get to a job? Just sayin

Yes, right to vote. I believe you brought up the issue of voter ID, which was pretty much a nonissue until the Republicans decided to make it one.

Actually, birth certificates are not always easy to obtain, especially for seniors from the South and from Puerto Rico.

I'm still trying to figure out what jobs have to do with this, but in any event, access to jobs is a problem as well for urban dwellers who have no cars. Public transportation from the city to the suburbs is often very poor and doesn't function well for those who need to work far from where they live.

So you are saying that if you go to vote a conservative or republican will stop you, intimidate you?

And yes, birth certificates ARE easy to get. Each state and US possession has its own set of rules and fees for ordering certified birth certificates on other vital records. Rules, ordering instructions and fees for all 50 states, the District of Columbia and all US

Here you go, find your state and apply

Oh here you go, one for Puerto Rico

Oh here you go, one for District of Columbia
http://usgovinfo.about.com/gi/o.htm?...v/nchs/w2w.htm

Wow, that was really, really, really, REALLY hard. So you claim that is hard, so what will tell an employer is too hard?

You see, the poor say "I can't" and give excuses. The successful say how can I and do what needs to be done.

When I was just starting out I bought a $300 clunker. It got me to a job until I was able to save and get a better car. See, no one starts out with a BMW or Mercedes. Funny, you claim that it's a problem for "urban dwellers" but my job required me to drive "INTO" the city.

All I will say to you regarding this post and the earlier one is that like many from the Right, you have no clue what you are talking about. How are you supposed to insure a clunker when it costs upwards of $3,000 a year in some places for bare bones insurance?

I've always wondered why whites hate blacks so much. There's more than a mere superiority complex at play here.

This kind of hatred dates all the way back to the days of slavery.
