‘Wait. Requiring ID is racist’: DC Mayor Muriel Bowser reminds citizens they’ll need a photo ID ‘before heading out’ starting Saturday

Twitchy

Way back in 2016, Texas was assured by an appeals court that photo ID is racist. Even a free voter ID is just too burdensome for the poor to obtain, and minorities are more likely to be poor; therefore, ID is racist. The Fifth Circuit determined that “the poor are less likely to avail themselves of services that require ID, such as obtaining credit and other financial services. They are also less likely to own vehicles and are therefore more likely to rely on public transportation. As a result, the poor are less likely to have a driver’s license and face greater obstacles in obtaining photo identification.”

So here we are in 2022, and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bower is reminding citizens that they’ll need a photo ID “before heading out.”

Remember that starting Saturday you will need these three things before heading out:

1. Proof of Vaccination (12 years +)
2. Proof of Vaccination and Photo ID (18 years +)
3. Mask

IDs are racist… Did you not get the memo?

Great. Now do voting.

Since you're okay with showing a photo ID to get into a restaurant, you support IDs for voting, right?

Weird, I do recall hearing that it was racist to require ID for things.

What do I do if I’m one of the repressed, urban folk that can’t get an ID? Ya know, like for voting and stuff? Is that ok?

What if my destination is a voting booth? I’m told any kind of proof of identification is oppressive in those areas.

I'm too poor to afford an ID and don't even know where to GET ONE

You'll need an ID to go inside a McDonald's in DC, but not to vote…

Beyond parody.
