I don't think asking for an ID from everyone is anything like these disgusting laws.

Jim Crow Laws in Daily Life
These laws worked to enforce segregation amongst the races, which led to civil rights actions by individuals such as Ida B. Wells, and ultimately to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s led by people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr..

Examples of Jim Crow laws that caused these extreme tensions in the country included the following.


Alabama: “Every employer of white or negro males shall provide for such white or negro males reasonably accessible and separate toilet facilities.”

Alabama: "It shall be unlawful to conduct a restaurant or other place for the serving of food in the city, at which white and colored people are served in the same room, unless such white and colored persons are effectually separated by a solid partition extending from the floor upward to a distance of seven feet or higher, and unless a separate entrance from the street is provided for each compartment."

Georgia: “All persons licensed to conduct the business of selling beer or wine...shall serve either white people exclusively or colored people exclusively and shall not sell to two races within the same room at any time.

Georgia: "It shall be unlawful for any amateur white baseball team to play baseball on any vacant lot or baseball diamond within two blocks of a playground devoted to the Negro race, and it shall be unlawful for any amateur colored baseball team to play baseball in any vacant lot or baseball diamond within two blocks of any playground devoted to the white race."

Louisiana: “All carriers must provide equal but separate seats for white and colored. No person of one race is allowed to be in the section set aside for the other race.”


California: “All marriages of white persons with Negroes, Mongolians, members of the Malay race, or mulattoes are illegal and void."

Florida: "All marriages between a white person and a negro, or between a white person and a person of negro descent to the fourth generation inclusive, are hereby forever prohibited."

Wyoming: “All marriages of white persons with Negroes, Mulattos, Mongolians, or Malaya hereafter contracted in the State of Wyoming are and shall be illegal and void."

Alabama: "No person or corporation shall require any white female nurse to nurse in wards or rooms or hospitals, either public or private, where negro men are placed."

Georgia: "The Board of Control shall see that proper and distinct apartments are arranged for said patients [in a mental hospital], so that in no cases shall Negroes and white persons be together."

Georgia: "The officer in charge shall not bury, or allow to be buried, any colored persons upon ground set apart or used for the burial of white persons."

New Mexico: “Separate rooms [shall] be provided for the teaching of pupils of African descent, and [when] said rooms are provided, such pupils may not be admitted to the school rooms occupied and used by pupils of Caucasian or other descent."

North Carolina: "The state librarian is directed to fit up and maintain a separate place for the use of the colored people who may come to the library for the purpose of reading books or periodicals."

Oklahoma: “Any instructor who shall teach in any school, college or institution where members of the white and colored races are received and enrolled as pupils for instruction shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined.”

Texas: The County Board of Education “shall provide schools of two kinds; those for white children and those for colored children."

Not much that's more racist than believing minorities aren't able to figure out how to get an ID.

I have to apply for a subsistence SHARC card every year to practice my AK native rights to fish traditionally. Racist!

Gonna have to shut the casinos down too. All them little old ladies got them ID cards hanging around their neck. And the most racist is the black jack tables. No reason they can't be white jack tables.

No you don't have to have BC to get an ID . You can get one at the court house or several places with just a utility bill with your name on it OR someones name anyway.

Yes my point at the beginning . They will move mountains (blacks and browns) to draw a gov hand out but to require them to have one to vote is racist, PLEASE !!!

My thing is do you really want someone voting for who is going to run the government That is too dumb to get a free ID?
