Lt. Gov. NC, Mark Robinson, Explains Why It’s Not Racist to Require ID for Voting
< < Go Back
You see, I’m the first black lieutenant governor of North Carolina, and I hail from Greensboro, home of the Woolworth sit-ins, an epicenter of the civil rights movement.
today I’m not here to talk about myself. I’m here to talk about voter discrimination and election integrity.
we hear Georgia law being compared to Jim Crow, that black voices are being silenced and that black voices are being kept out.
How? By bullets? By bombs? By nooses? No, by requiring a free ID to secure the vote. Let me say that again: by requiring a free ID to secure the vote. How absolutely preposterous.
Am I to believe that black Americans who have overcome the atrocities of slavery, who were victorious in the civil rights movement, and now sit in the highest levels of this government could not figure out how to get a free ID to secure their votes? That they need to be coddled by politicians because they don’t think we can figure out how to make our voices heard?
Are you kidding me? The notion that people must be protected from a free ID to secure their votes is not just insane—it is insulting.
