In Georgia’s Darkies, I told you about the Georgia legislature’s attempt to curb fraud by requiring voters to show state-issued identification and how black politicians equated the requirement with poll taxes and literacy tests designed to keep blacks from voting back in the day.
Georgia’s black politicians walked out of the capitol building last year in “protest” over a simple law requiring ALL residents to show ID before voting. 
I expressed embarrassment (again) over this predictable and imbecilic effort to retain the blacks-are-ignorant stereotype, disguised as some noble concern over “disenfranchisement.” It’s also predictable and imbecilic that I’m called the “self-hater” for believing blacks are capable of so much more, but they’re lauded for their “social justice” crusade, even as they reinforce negative stereotypes.
I made the obvious observation that Georgia’s “poor and elderly” can get to the polls to vote and to the store to buy food, but they can’t or won’t go to the DMV to get a FREE state-issued ID. Intriguing.
I wanted to give you an update on the drama. The most recent version of the law was upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court, so come September, voters will have to show ID. (Source). An excerpt:
Georgia voters will be required to show a photo ID at the polls for a special election in September, following several years of court and legislative battles, the secretary of state said Tuesday.
…
A lawsuit contended the 2006 law was an undue burden on voters, and a Fulton County judge agreed, ruling the law unconstitutional. The Georgia Supreme Court threw out the case, though, finding the plaintiff lacked legal standing to challenge the law. On Friday, the high court denied a motion to reconsider.Secretary of State Karen Handel said Tuesday that the refusal to reconsider cleared the way for Georgia to implement the law for its Sept. 18 special election. But first, she said, the state will launch an education effort to let voters know about the new requirement.
Sorry, Stepin Fetchit, but you’re gonna have to keep up with the rest of us.
