Get out. It’s RACISM.

Why the focus on Georgia regarding this? Do you know that CA has closed down the number of polling places recently? NYC has an issue with the number of polling places and long lines. Are these state's issues due to racism too?

Racism holds no political, ethnic, religious, etc stripe.

I'm not pushing back on racism. I hate racism. i won't get into why I do because frankly it's none of your business. But here's what really Really REALLY pisses me off and it's been off the charts the past few years. When people cry RACISM when there is none. And in my mind there is NONE here. When the President of the US calls this Jim Crow on steroids I have a major problem with this. Do you even know what Jim Crow is/was? The President should be called out and called out hard for even uttering those words. I have asked you several times what makes this Bill racists and you have not, and likely CANNOT answer that. I'm sorry that you can't understand where I'm coming from with this and hopefully you do now. So to your bullet points. Nothing fits my definition of racism? Seriously? I grew up surrounded by it. Nothing meets my criteria of racism? See bullet point one. Kind of redundant there. Especially when my party is accused of it? Accusations are like opinions and ass holes. Proof is what I live on and you, and others, point to things as racist all the time with no proof of it. I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more. When everything becomes racist nothing is racist. And my party? MY party?? LOLOLOL!!! No one can convince me that systemic racism exists? No they cannot. Does racism exist? Absolutely!!! Is it systemic? IMO...no. And I've not seen anyone show proof that it does. Racism is the new boogeyman in the room. And if actual racism wasn't a horrible thing what is being considered racism today would be comical. Again we are downplaying actual racism buy calling Bills such as this racist. Call it unfair to inner city people and old folks if you like but do NOT call it racism!

Excuse me? Can you explain what you mean by this. I'm pretty sure I know but I'd love to hear it from you. I'm trying to educate myself on how this Bill is racists but I'm not finding anything. Where can I look? What should I read? Who should I talk to? Please help a man out please.

It's not based on race. It based on socio-economic and geographic issues. Does @BillStime talk about how this will effect poor rural areas of GA? Are those mostly non-POC? How close is their closest DMV or polling place? If @BillStime and others screaming racism want to discuss why most poor inner city residents are POC they need to start a thread dedicated to that topic and I'd be more than happy to participate.

I searched for race/racism/racist in that article and nothing came up. Why is this Bill racist? 95 pages of racism right?

Speaking of deflecting. What about this bill is racist? Just figured it check in again. One of the things that has made me very successful is I’m persistent. I’ll be back tomorrow.

And I’m still waiting on how all of these are racist.

I don’t subscribe to The Times. Can you give me some quotes. 😉 And don’t give me this “I don’t have time” *****. I’ve been asking you why this is racist for a few days now. 🙄

Come on man! Dontcha know? It’s racist! Even our beloved POTUS said it was reminiscent of Jim Crow. Funny how it’s only the POC in lines that won’t be getting a coooool drink of water.

@BillStime What that party and this Bill racist? Why has no one been able to explain what specifically makes this Bill Jim Crow era racist. I find this very telling.

By design!?!? 😂😂😂 Really? Whose design? Proof of this design? You sure it wasn’t the most polarizing election in our history? Now back the question at had that I’ve posed multiple times. How is this Bill racist.

I know this is from that very right leaning NPR but give it a read anyway. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/15/876474124/chaos-in-primary-elections-raises-fears-for-november No reason? NONE?? Well other than racism which you and others have conveniently refused to elaborate on.

The racist one?

Why is it racist? Why is it racist? They were required because 2020 was a cluster *****. Still no one here can tell us why these changes are racists.

I did. Why is it racist? Why is that racist?

So some of the blame lies with the school systems? Who is more involved in the development of our school/university curriculum? And again there is plenty of not being able to tell fake new from real news to go around. Who is more involved in our news system? Most of our news outlets (left and right leaning) are pushing opinions/agendas not news. To say this is a right issue is absurd.

Please point out which of the 230 posts about racism (oh and if you knew how to spell there would probably be a lot more) do I question it's existence.

A few things about this post. 1. The fact that you're searching my posts is both flattering and creepy 2. Every one of those posts is me dismissing anything race related? That's not your OPINION that's a LIE. 3. So less than one half of one percent of all my posts are related to race means what exactly? You're clutching at straws my friend. Pretty sad.

Ok that was an interesting study but look what I found when I googled "white man attacks". An article that blames White Supremacy for Blacks attacking Asians. \ https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566 What in the ever loving hell is this nonsense??

That's their MO. You state your opinion that something isn't racist they come back with "you don't think racism exists." How they make that leap is astounding.

Oh I disagree with this. Opinions can be based on conjecture and hypothesis. It's when an argument is presented as a fact when in reality it is an opinion. That's not a lie. That's just poor debate IMO Perfect example is @BillStime couching this Bill is racist as a fact when it's actually just his opinion. This is why I call him, and others out on it. So instead of saying "the Bill IS racists" (presented as a fact) it would be better if he said something along the lines of "this Bill feels to me to be racist" (presented as an opinion). Now if he comes back with verified proof of the Republicans saying "we need to pass this through so fewer black people vote" I'll buy him a beer and congratulate him on a job well done. Until that time............

Well now isn’t this a boatload of crapola. So because I adamantly say that this Bill is not racist I think that racism doesn’t exist. How about because I’ve never witnessed a murder I think murder doesn’t exist? How about because I’ve never witnessed childbirth I believe in the stork? Logic ain’t your strong suit is it?

Would changing the sometimes hard to read handwritten signature to a numbered ID make this a very moot point? Ahhh so it's Subtle Jim Crow not Jim Crow on Steroids. Please point out how the Jim Crow laws of yesteryear have been morphed into subtle racial laws of today? How is this Bill even subtly racists? I've seen NO one point out what parts of this Bill are racist. NO ONE!!
