Valin Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hot Air: John Sexton Nov. 4 2016 Ami Horowitz produced this wonderful clip for Fox News titled, “How white liberals really view black voters.” The concept is simple. He heads to the progressive bastion of Berkeley, California and does a series of man-on-the-street interviews, asking white people about voter ID laws. A number of people volunteer that voter ID laws are a bad idea and also racist. When Horowitz asks why the laws are racist things get interesting. “Because they’re less likely to have state ID’s,” one young man says. ” Another man says, “Minority voters are less likely to have the kinds of ID’s that have been described or required.” A third man volunteers, “These type of people don’t live in areas with easy access to DMVs or other places where they can get identification.” If you’re like me, you’re already squirming a little listening to these answers. Presumably some of these people have black friends or co-workers. Would they refer to those friends or co-workers as “these type of people?” I hope not. And it gets worse when some respondents grasping for an explanation suggest black people don’t have access to the internet or cell phone data plans.
